Tangled Temptations

Chapter 358

Chapter 358

A sleek black sedan cruised steadily along the road. The children, worn out from

the day's excitement, slumped in their seats, a tangle of weary limbs.

Harvey glanced over at Eloise. She leaned back in her seat, gazing quietly out the window.

"Still mad?"

Harvey gently squeezed her hand.

Eloise offered a faint smile. "Why would I be? Keep your eyes on the road."

Releasing her hand, Harvey concentrated on the traffic ahead. After a while, he murmured, "You know, Brett and Orlena have had it tough."

They were two people who shouldn't have crossed paths. It could have been just a fleeting pleasure, but once you had tasted bliss, who would want to settle for less? And weren't Eloise and him the same?

Perhaps it was Max's passing that made him realize life's unpredictability. It made Harvey cherish this marriage, this love. If Eloise was holding back, he'd be the one to give in.

They drove back to the villa.

Eloise got out of the car, and Harvey carefully shed his coat, speaking softly to her, "You take Linda and Luca inside."

He wrapped Darrien in his coat, lifting the little guy from the car. Darrien, still a baby, snuggled against his father's shoulder, sound asleep. Being a dad, Harvey couldn't help but plant a kiss on Darrien's head.

Ever since Luca had come to live with them, Linda had become more

Eloise often wondered, was this alright?

When Harvey returned to the bedroom, Eloise had finished her bath and was applying lotion at the vanity.

Their relationship was good lately, and they'd had sex often.

Harvey naturally wrapped his arms around her slim waist, sliding his hands up and down. His breath felt warm against the nape of her neck, half-teasing, half- flirting. "Seems like you've put on some weight."

Every woman liked to be slim. Eloise lightly swatted away his fingers, a touch annoyed. "Then go find someone without an ounce of fat."
