Tangled Temptations

Chapter 347

The lights were dim, casting long shadows on Harvey and Eloise. Their eyes interlocked in a silent dance. Harvey's mind was echoing with a phrase Eloise had said earlier - he was also the father of my children.

He had known all along that Eloise's willingness to reconcile was for the sake of their children. Given his past misdemeanors, she would have never forgiven him. However, hearing her saying something akin to not loving him anymore still stung.

Finally, Harvey broke the silence. "It's chilly outside. Why don't you put on your coat?" He moved forward, gently draping the coat over her shoulders and fastening the buttons one by one.

As Eloise watched him, she wanted to say something, but it seemed unnecessary.

Ravenna watched them with seething jealousy. How could Harvey still be so devoted to Eloise, after knowing she didn't love him?

When Harvey left with Eloise, Ravenna couldn't hold back. "Attorney Horigan, she doesn't deserve you!"

Harvey paused and turned back. His face was even colder under the dim lights. "Ms. Ravenna, you should thank Eloise's kindness. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here at this gathering."

Ravenna didn't believe him. She was determined to prove herself in the upcoming movie.

As the couple left, a smirk crept onto Ravenna's face. She thought she had found a breakthrough.

Just then, Veronica came over, leaning against the wall and sneering, "What are you plotting now, Ravenna?"

Ravenna turned sharply. They were sworn enemies. Ravenna's scheme to conceive a child with Gunner had backfired, leaving her empty-handed.

Ravenna held her head high. "Just wait and see!"

Veronica was unfazed. She knew that with Eloise's business acumen, Ravenna stood no chance.

Back at the apartment, Harvey pulled out the car door for Eloise. His gaze was intense as he asked, "Eloise, do you not love me anymore? Am I not worth another try?"

Eloise was exhausted. She tried to avoid the confrontation. "Let's argue at home, not here."

Harvey's gaze was intense. After a moment, the car door closed with a bang. Once in the car, he drove rather fast, which actually made Eloise feel uncomfortable, but she bore it.

Half an hour later, he drove the car to the apartment. If they were going to argue, neither of them wanted to disturb the children, especially since Linda was so sensitive.

The night air was slightly cool. They went into the apartment one after the other, still remembering the last time they had been so intimate here, but now he felt full of repressed anger.

Eloise was pinned against the door by him. His voice suppressing his emotion, "Eloise, am I not worth your love at all? Am I not worth another try?"

Eloise was a bit tired. She said softly, "Let's take off our shoes and talk inside." He wouldn't allow it. Still pressing against her, his dark eyes focused on her. Eloise slowly straightened up. She looked at him, smiling faintly. "Harvey, really, this is not how you're supposed to act! Did you just find out today? Or do you think
