Tangled Temptations

Chapter 337

The storm was quelled, thanks to Harvey's heartfelt speech.

His intention was clear. Even if Eloise was mentally disturbed, even if their relationship encountered obstacles, he was willing to stand by her side, no matter

what.

The tide turned, and Harvey was hailed as the epitome of a good man. Shares of Horigan Inc. and Everest Technologies, against all odds, began to rise.

Harvey was not pleased though. After the press conference, he locked himself in his office, replaying Eloise's inner monologues over and over again. She said...

"My husband lost five years of memories.

"I know he likes me. But maybe because of too many disappointments, I dare not easily accept his kindness. I always feel that when I let my guard down and love him again, misfortune and betrayal will once again befall me.

"He helped a woman I really disliked. I generously forgave him..."

Harvey listened to the recordings numerous times. He remembered that night when he helped Monika, and the last time he saw Joan. He was bidding farewell to his past. He thought that from then on, there would be no barriers between him and Eloise, but he did not know that Eloise's forgiveness was a form of compromise, a compromise that tormented her. Their life together was devoid of happiness.

Harvey closed his eyes, the corners of which were slightly moist.

Just then, his cell phone on the office desk rang. It was the clinic. He picked up.

The clinic's director apologized, "Mr. Horigan, I'm sorry for the breach of Mrs. Horigan's privacy due to our internal issues. We have already fired the employee..."

Harvey responded calmly, "I will sue her."

After hanging up, he checked the clock. It was almost time for picking up Linda. He drove himself to get Linda.

At the entrance of the kindergarten, Linda waved reluctantly to Luca, before her father lifted her into his golden Bentley.

Harvey buckled her in.

Linda suddenly hugged her father's neck and whispered, "Today the kids said that Luca's dad has a mistress. What's a mistress, dad?"

Harvey was taken aback. He ruffled Linda's hair. "You'll understand when you're older."

Linda, with her curly brown hair and sparkling eyes, asked, "Dad, do you have a mistress?"

Harvey tapped her head lightly.
