Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 126

Eloise kept her silence for a while.

But Harvey had enough patience. He gently said again, "I'll pick you up tonight."

After a bit, Eloise agreed to him.

She knew that if Harvey really wanted something, he would go all out for it.

He was trying to deepen their relationship, trying his best to please her. She didn't understand how he knew women so well, but when he started pursuing her, she knew she couldn't resist.

That night was more romantic and exciting than any they'd had before.

Every corner of the apartment was filled with his sweet nothings!

He held her close until the wee hours...

Eloise had to admit, she had the best time and most thrilling feelings with Harvey.

In the morning.

When Eloise woke up, Harvey was tying his tie by the bed.

Seeing her awake, he bent over and gave her a kiss.

"Are you really going to the opening party for Encore Soundworks?" Eloise asked him weakly, her eyes sparkling again after last night.

Harvey reassured her, "I have a court case to attend, might be a bit late, but I can definitely make it by nine. How should I introduce you then?"

Eloise wrapped her arms around his neck and murmured something in another language.

Harvey's eyes flickered. If he wasn't short on time, he might have swept her into his arms right then.

He had a court case in the morning, so he left quickly.

Although Eloise was a bit worn out, Encore Soundworks was her and Vanessa's baby, and she couldn't let Vanessa handle it all on her own, so she got up after a bit more rest.

She spent the whole day entertaining parents.

It wasn't until six in the evening that she had time to go back to her apartment and change into her party dress.

She wore a pale pink long dress, which accentuated her waist.

Eloise tied up her long hair and put on a pair of pearl earrings.

She looked stunningly delicate and elegant.

After doing her makeup, Eloise blushed as she looked at herself in the mirror.

Was she overthinking it, or was she purposefully dressing to Harvey's taste? She knew what kind of woman he liked, and she knew he would especially like the way she looked now...

Eloise didn't dare to think any further.

She got herself together and went downstairs, ready to leave.

It was an important day for her. Her father and Michelle were going to be there, and Harvey also said he wanted to meet them. Although she tried to keep her emotions in check, she knew she was kind of looking forward to it.

Maybe, Harvey's attitude towards her had changed.

Maybe, he was serious this time...

Eloise texted him from the car.

[I'm heading to the hotel now, let me know when you get there.]

After sending the message, about 10 minutes later, Harvey simply replied, [Okay.] Eloise knew he was busy today, so she didn't bother him further.

She drove herself to the banquet hotel.

Her parents and friends had already arrived and Eloise started socializing.

Michelle had been waiting for a while and hadn't seen Harvey yet. She quietly pulled Eloise aside and asked, "Where's Attorney Horigan? Didn't he say he was coming?"

Eloise chuckled, "He has a court case to attend, might be a bit late."

Michelle breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see. I thought you guys had a falling out again."

Eloise didn't say anything, but her eyes and expression showed the charm of a woman who's loved by a man. Michelle, being experienced, knew better than to ask further.

At this moment, Vanessa came over with a gift list in her hand.

"There are two gifts that I think you should know about."

Eloise took the list, "What's the problem?"

But after looking at it, she fell silent.

One was a bottle of wine from Max, worth $500,000.

The other was a rose quartz ornament from Landon, also worth $500,000.

Vanessa cleared her throat, "Did they coordinate on this, or is it a competition to see who can give the most expensive gift?"

Eloise thought for a moment, "These gifts are too expensive. I'll refund them later."

Vanessa gave her a thumbs up, then complimented her outfit, "You look great in light-colored gowns, you always stand out from the crowd, maybe it's your skin. Eloise, your skin is exceptionally delicate."

Eloise smiled.

She checked the time, it was already half past eight.
