Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 161

Once Eloise finished her words, she started crying.

She once had a thing for Harvey, maybe she still does now.

Even though he had a lot of flaws - a bad temper, introverted, and he was high maintenance – but Eloise knew in her heart.

She liked him!

But no matter how much she liked him, she had to protect herself first.

She didn’t want to get herself into trouble!

Harvey’s warm fingers gently wiped her tears, but the gentler he was, the harder Eloise cried… until she almost couldn’t control herself.

He simply pulled her into his arms and lit a cigarette.

Harvey leaned on the couch, slowly smoking. His handsome looks were a real catch.

Any woman could fall for him.

Eloise didn’t speak, just leaned in his arms and cried silently.

Her tears soaked his shirt, the damp warmth was actually a bit uncomfortable, but Harvey didn’t stop her.

He smoked half of his cigarette before he softly asked, “Can we give it another shot?”

“We can take it slow this time, and I don’t do anything you don’t want to do. I just want you to feel comfortable!”

……

Eloise didn’t respond.

Harvey knew what he meant to her.

He was actually very busy, he didn’t have a girlfriend before Eloise showed up, so he wasn’t desperate.

But when a woman he liked was at home every day and he did nothing, then he must be a fool, right?

Harvey probably guessed Eloise’s thoughts. He saw her going on dates with Callum, going to art exhibitions, watching fireworks… Harvey didn’t fancy these things.

He thought only kids would do such things.

But he was very grateful that Eloise only dated Callum for 10 days.

If it were Landon, it might be different.

Landon understood Eloise’s mind, he naturally knew how to coax her.

“Tomorrow… shall we go to a concert?”

Eloise didn’t want to.

She didn’t want to go out with him.

Harvey knew exactly how to treat Eloise, he lit another cigarette, took a deep puff, then gently said to her, “If you don’t want to date, shall we go to a hotel?”

Eloise got mad.

She stood up to leave, but Harvey stopped her, gently saying, “I’ll take you home! Wait for my call tomorrow, I’ll have my secretary book the tickets.”

This time, Eloise didn’t say anything.

She seemed to soften a bit…

Harvey felt tired, his goal wasn’t reached, but chasing a woman does take time.

He drove her back to her apartment.

He made it clear that he began to pursue her, behaving very considerately.

The next day when Eloise woke up, her white BMW was parked downstairs.

Harvey’s driver didn’t wake her up, but stood by the car waiting, Eloise felt a bit embarrassed.

She took the car keys, said thank you.

“Attorney Horigan told me not to wake you up.” The driver was tactful.

Eloise nodded, thanked him again.

She got in the car, then received a call from Michelle.

Michelle said on the phone that Harvey came to visit early in the morning and brought many expensive supplements.

Michelle didn’t know their current relationship.

So, she asked Eloise.

Eloise touching the steering wheel, softly said, “Just accept it!”

Michelle was very happy because she really liked Harvey and hoped that he and Eloise could end up together.

After hanging up the phone, Eloise looked at her phone, feeling a bit conflicted.
