Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 116

Everything around Joan and Harvey was dead quiet.

Eloise was watching the pair of old lovers meet again after a long time.

Harvey's eyes were a complex mix of pain, shock, and surprise.

Eloise didn't know if he still loved Joan or how deep that love was, but she could tell that Harvey definitely bore resentment towards Joan.

Hate was the opposite of love. He never forgot Joan.

Max sneered from the sidelines. "Eloise, are you feeling all messed up now?"

Eloise gave him a light smile.

"Max, what kind of kick do you get out of mocking me? Aren't you supposed to be happy now?"

Max slowly clenched his fists.

What had he gained?

What could make him happy?

He lost the woman who had loved him for four years and was watching her live her life with another man.

All of this was his own doing! Harvey was right; it was he, Max, who had handed Eloise over to Harvey. It was he who had lost her.

Max's throat twitched slightly.

He blurted out uncontrollably. "Eloise, if I could give up everything, could we start over?"

Eloise suddenly looked up. Her eyes were full of disbelief.

How could Max think they could start over? He trampled on her dignity, then casually said sorry and thought they could start over?

What a joke!

Eloise's eyes were slightly red, and her lips were quivering.

She stared at Max, hating him like she never had before.

Just then, Orlena's soft voice came from off to the side. "Max, Eloise, so you guys are here."

This voice also caught the attention of the pair of old lovers.

Harvey slowly turned his head.

He saw Max and Eloise standing very close, both staring at each other.

Eloise's eyes were tinged red, as if she were about to cry, while Max's eyes were filled with heart-wrenching pain.

Harvey's eyes narrowed slightly. He had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

Joan gently lifted her long hair, asking in a somewhat teasing tone. "Girlfriend?"

Harvey didn't deny it.

Joan stepped forward, whispering into Harvey's ear with a smile. "Harvey, long time no see! All these years, I've been worried that the hurt I caused you might lead you to keep your distance from women. I'm glad to see you're doing well now."

Harvey gave a faint smile. "Long time no see! Also, you're overthinking."

Joan tilted her beautiful head.

Under the sunlight, her delicate features and fiery red lips drew everyone's attention. Harvey, for a moment, thought that Joan hadn't changed a bit over the years.

Eloise and Joan were polar opposites in character.

Eloise loved domestic life and cooking; her personality was stable and easy to calm. Of course, Eloise also loved dressing up.

Harvey turned around, only to find that she was no longer there.

Eloise was gone.

He thought that she must have seen him and Joan.

Harvey was stunned for a moment.

Joan squinted slightly.

She had learned abroad that there was someone at Harvey's side, which was why she came back. She wanted to see what kind of person could appear by Harvey's side. The feeling she got from a glance earlier was nothing extraordinary, but now Harvey's reaction made her change her mind.

"Harvey, aren't you going to show me around your house?"

Joan teased, acting as comfortable as an old friend.
