Tangled Temptations

Chapter 306

The lights were dim.

Harvey's face was shrouded in a shadow. His recent impulsive actions were still fresh in his mind. Had it not been for Eloise's intervention, he might have taken her right then and there...

But what could that achieve? At most, it would be a fleeting moment of physical satisfaction.

It wasn't enough. He wanted more than just that.

Eloise, with trembling fingers, re-buttoned her blouse. Without turning her head, she made her way upstairs, her legs weak, her steps faltering.

Harvey didn't stop her. He didn't go upstairs to check on the child either, his mind in a chaotic state. As he sat in his car, he lit a cigarette.

A few days ago, he had decided to let go, just as Eloise had suggested. Maybe it would be better for both of them to part ways.

However, the sight of a young boy with her had shattered his resolve. It left a bad taste in his mouth.

He couldn't bear the thought of Eloise being pursued by these young boys and possibly getting involved with them.

Sitting in the car, Harvey took a long drag on his cigarette. Smoke filled the car, blurring his face.

After smoking four or five cigarettes, he finally drove away from the villa. The security guard at the gate watched him leave, his expression somewhat unnatural.

Late at night, Harvey returned to the Horigan Mansion. Parker was still awake, clearly waiting for him. Harvey came in and sat down on the sofa, letting out a long sigh.

Parker gave him a disapproving look, saying, "Don't you have your own place? Why do you have to come over and impose on us?"

Harvey closed his eyes slightly. "Isn't Orlena staying at home too?"

Parker scoffed, "Can your sister's situation be compared to yours?" Harvey simply laughed.

His father glanced at him, before speaking reluctantly after a long silence, "Your mother has been crying a lot since you and Eloise divorced. Just how useless can you be!"

Harvey's eyes were slit open. He was lost in thought for a long while before he asked softly, "Dad, do you want us to get back together too?"
