Chapter 348

Eloise couldn't help but cry. Her tears flowed silently, mirroring her silent role in their relationship.

How many times had they argued? And, how many times had she yielded? Guilt and love intertwined in her heart, reminding her of Harvey's sacrifice. He had lost his memory for her. It was a debt she could never repay.

No matter how much Monica's presence irritated her, she had to forgive. What else could she do?

Eloise bent down to pick up the spilled pills, one by one. She placed them back in the tiny bottle. So many white pills. She wondered if swallowing them all would end everything, end the endless debate of whether she loved Harvey or not, and end the constant accusations.

...

Their silent feud hadn't affected their children.

In the early morning, Eloise rose from her bed.

Across the hall, Harvey emerged from the guest room, still wearing yesterday's clothes. Seeing the dark circles under Eloise's eyes, he said softly, "I'll take Linda to kindergarten."

His words were a clear signal that he intended to continue their routine lives.

Eloise murmured her acknowledgment and went to prepare breakfast as usual.

During breakfast, little Linda demanded both her parents drop her at school. Eloise looked up and locked eyes with Harvey. He had showered and changed into a fresh suit. His gaze now was more serious.

Before Eloise could soothe Linda, Harvey agreed, "Sure, let's all go together. I'll drive you back."

Surprised, Eloise nodded.

Linda looked from one to the other, tugging gently on her mother's hand. "Did you like the card Darrien and I made for you, Mommy?"

Eloise kissed her daughter's soft cheek. "I loved it!" After the kiss, she rested her head against her daughter's, not wanting to pull away.

Harvey watched them. His gaze was never wavering.

After breakfast, Eloise went upstairs to change. She chose a silk blouse and a

fishtail skirt. As she was undressing, the bedroom door opened.

Harvey looked surprised, and then slowly closed the door.

Eloise dressed slowly. When she bent down, the vertebrae on her bare back were slightly protruding, which was a sight that was irresistibly enticing.

Leaning on the door, Harvey quietly said, "Denise told me about your doctor's appointment."
