Tangled Temptations

Chapter 328-6

Chapter 322

On New Year's Day, she received the stuffed bunny. Even though Eloise hadn't said so, Orlena had guessed that it was a gift from Brett.

A while ago, Mr. Brett had been to Rossland.

At night, she laid on her huge white bed, hugging the bunny. Her thoughts were filled with Brett.

She thought, receiving a gift always necessitates a thank you, and it's New Year, she should wish him a happy one.

Finally, she sent him a message on Facebook. Happy New Year, Brett!

It took him forever to reply, but when he did, he simply wished her a happy new year. Those four simple words brought tears to her eyes. She buried her face in the blankets and silently wept for her unspoken emotions.

If it were any other man in the world that she fancied, she'd boldly confess her feelings. She would have no problem telling anyone, "I like you!"

But this was Brett. And he was Eloise's uncle.

Orlena despised herself for being helplessly in love with him. From someone who would normally not watch news, she started deliberately watching TV and reading newspapers. Sometimes, when her father and brother talked about him, she'd secretly listen in.

But she knew, he was not hers to have.
