Tangled Temptations

Chapter 333

Orlena sobbed, burying herself in Harvey's arms. Eloise, understanding, gently stroked her hair, and then gave Harvey a knowing look. She moved to Parker's side, smiled softly and thanked the uniformed people present.

Parker had a vague idea of what was happening and saw them out.

The house finally settled, but Orlena's suppressed sobs were still audible. Daniel seemed lost, but Eloise comforted him, whispering, "Mommy's not feeling well. Would you like me to play with you?"

Harvey picked up Daniel, softly telling Eloise, "I'll take Daniel to the office. You stay and comfort Orlena. It might be easier for her to talk to a woman."

Eloise acknowledged with a nod. She prepared some toys and snacks for Daniel, gave him a kiss, and closed the car door behind him.

Back at the Manor.

Parker sat on the sofa, smoking. He tapped the seat next to him, indicating Eloise to join him. "Pauline's with her now, Lou. Come, talk to me."

Eloise obeyed and sat down.

Parker was fond of her and their conversation was always comfortable. "I actually support Orlena and your uncle, but it seems Brett is in a difficult spot."

Eloise listened quietly.

After a while, he murmured, "If Brett can't make her happy, no one else can." After saying that, Parker left.

Eloise sat alone, sipping the tea a servant had poured for her. She took a while to comprehend Parker's words before a faint smile graced her lips. In truth, Parker was a great father, very open-minded.

She went upstairs to check on Orlena.

After a morning of conversation, Orlena had finally fallen asleep. Eloise gently tucked her in.

Downstairs, she found herself reminiscing about the past year. She couldn't forget the sight of Orlena standing in line with Daniel to buy smoothie. Orlena could only afford one cup after a long queue.
