Tangled Temptations

Chapter 308

Early in the morning, Eloise woke up. She had the vague feeling of having a dream. In the dream, Harvey regained his memory, he gently said, "Eloise, I'm back."

Eloise sat up. She touched her face. Her cheeks were wet with cold tears.

At the bedroom door, Harvey was standing, holding a tray of breakfast. He looked at her and softly asked, "Why are you crying?"

He walked over and placed the breakfast on the bedside table, checking her forehead, "You're not too hot anymore."

Eloise stared at him. Her nose was slightly red, and she looked a bit pitiful, which made Harvey feel tender towards her. He said in a low voice, "Don't look at me like that. I might not be able to resist."

Eloise's lips trembled, but in the end, she didn't have the courage to ask.

A moment later, she calmed down a bit. "Why are you here?"

Harvey stuffed a pillow behind her and tried to feed her some soup, but Eloise refused, she took the bowl and ate a few bites before realizing she hadn't brushed her teeth. Her expression was somewhat adorable.

Harvey couldn't resist. He pinched her cheek lightly. "Special circumstances, I can be lenient towards you."

Eloise shook her head. "I don't have an appetite."

She still wanted to ask why he was here.

Harvey leaned towards her, his handsome face very close to hers, so close that their breaths intertwined. His dark eyes looked at her, and his tone was strangely tender. "Why did we divorce? You're sick, and you're still bearing it alone."

Eloise tried to move away, but he held her, one hand lightly wrapped around her waist, caressing her slowly, without any lust, just holding onto her.

He was good-looking and tender. To be honest. Eloise couldn't resist, but she was stubborn. "I can have someone else take care of me."

"Gerald? Or that guy Oliver? Eloise, do you feel they are better than me? If they are, why did you reject them?"

Eloise felt a bit suffocated under his hold. The familiar feeling of nausea came back. Harvey noticed her changing face. He loosened his hold, poured her some water, and gave her medicine.

Eloise was sweating profusely. She remembered she had an appointment to see some land today.

Harvey held her down, murmuring, "Rest up first. I'll go on your behalf."

Eloise was stunned.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, it was Gerald's voice.

Harvey looked at Eloise, and Eloise looked at him. After a while, he got up and walked towards the door. Eloise called out to him, "Don't open the door..."

Harvey scoffed, "Am I not supposed to see people?" After saying this, he opened the door.

Outside, indeed, stood Gerald, holding breakfast in his hand. When he locked eyes with Harvey, the atmosphere got a bit tense, but Gerald immediately put on a friendly smile. "Is Ms. Laurent feeling better?"

"She's not feverish anymore, but she's still not in good spirits." Harvey stepped back, allowing Gerald in.
