Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 144

Eloise drove herself home to dodge his pursuit.

Her sudden return surprised and delighted Angus and Michelle.

Welcoming Eloise with a smile, Michelle led her inside, saying, "Your dad was just saying how much he missed you, and here you are. You two really do have a mind of your own!"

Eloise put down the fruits she was holding and went to Angus.

They had a chat for a while.

Suddenly, Michelle's voice came from the kitchen, "Eloise, could you give me a hand?"

Eloise agreed with a smile. But as soon as she walked into the kitchen, Michelle closed the door.

"Michelle, what's up?" Eloise was puzzled.

Michelle pulled her to the window, pointing downstairs, "Isn’t that Attorney Horigan's car? It’s been parked for a while now. What happened? Did you two fight or break up?"

Eloise didn't expect Harvey to follow her here. She casually washed some strawberries. "We broke up!"

At this time, Harvey got out of the car, holding a gift box, looking as if he was going to pay a visit.

Michelle whispered, "It seemed he’s really into you! Eloise, do you want to reconsider?"

Eloise shook her head.

Then, the doorbell rang.

Michelle chuckled, "The man's already at the door."

Eloise was slightly annoyed.

If it were in the past, she would be thrilled for days if he took the initiative to visit, but now that they had ended their relationship, what was his intention?

She stepped in front of Michelle, "I'll go talk to him."

Eloise went to open the door.

Outside stood a graceful Harvey, holding a gift and looking at Eloise affectionately.

Eloise closed the door and went out to talk.

"Harvey, what are you doing here?"

"I came to visit your dad!"

Eloise bit her lip lightly, "We've broken up. You don't have to do this."

At this time.

Angus's voice came from inside, "Who's that? Whispering outside, not even inviting them in."

Eloise casually said, "It's a salesman!"

Angus nodded in response, apparently believing her.

Eloise gave Harvey a little push, "Okay, you need to leave now."

But Harvey didn't leave. Instead, he shouted, "Angus, I'm Eloise's boyfriend."

Eloise stomped her foot in anger.

"Harvey, you're really shameless!"

"I am shameless! Eloise, are you going to introduce me as your boyfriend or tell your dad we're just friends?"

Eloise's face turned red.

Harvey reached out a hand and lightly pinched her face.

He said, "If you don't let me in, I'll find a way to spend the night at your place."

There was no way Eloise would agree to that!

But Angus already came over, opened the door, and saw a handsome young man grappling with his precious daughter.

Angus was a bit annoyed.

Harvey immediately became polite. He politely said, "Hello Angus! I'm your attorney, Harvey, and also Eloise's boyfriend."

Oh, it's Attorney Horigan.

Angus immediately took a liking to him.

He looked at Eloise, "Why are you making Attorney Horigan stand outside?"

He chuckled, "My daughter lacks manners. Please bear with her."

"Eloise is actually quite good! Even when she's a bit moody, I find it quite cute."

Following behind, hearing him say these things, Eloise thought he was shameless.

Once Harvey stepped into the Laurent's house, he acted like he was at home.

He was very good at winning people over, constantly flattering Eloise's parents, praising their food, making the couple laugh heartily, almost ready to hand Eloise over to him.

Angus was pleased. He brought out the chess board, "Harvey, let's play a couple of games!"
