Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 224

Three years later.

Eloise and Blake emerged from the airport. At the exit, Dwight, with his long legs, immediately took off his sunglasses and hugged Blake tightly, giving her a hearty kiss. Blake's face instantly turned red.

Eloise couldn't help but be a bit exasperated. Blake was only 19; Dwight was such a beast!

Over the past few years, Dwight had been in charge of Crescendo Sound Workshop. With Stuart's genes, he expanded it to Rossland and made it flourish.

In the process, he managed to win over Blake. When Landon found out, he beat up Dwight, the notorious playboy, nearly to death! But to everyone's surprise, Dwight stopped drinking and clubbing after getting together with Blake. He transformed into the perfect boyfriend.

He visited Blake in Switzerland every month.

……

Eloise returned to Peterborough mainly because Michelle's leg injury had recurred, and she needed treatment and recuperation there. She had invested in a few French restaurants and occasionally played the piano there. As a mature, beautiful and financially independent woman, Eloise naturally attracted many suitors. But she wasn't interested in anyone at all.

……

Everest Technologies.

On the 68th floor of a high-rise building in the CEO's office.

Harvey sat behind his wooden desk, busily signing documents. The light streaming in from the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him made him look even more striking, like a godly figure.

Denise walked in. She admired her boss, amazed at the good fortune life had bestowed upon him. At the age of 33, a man exudes a mature charm that deserves appreciation. The line of women wanting to have a relationship with Mr. Horigan extended from the east to the west of the city.

Denise placed a brown paper bag gently on the table.

Harvey paused and picked it up to look inside.

Denise cleared her throat, "Eloise is back!"

Harvey was obviously taken aback. He looked at Denise, his voice slightly hoarse, "She's back?"

Denise nodded nervously, "Yes, she's back! She's here for her aunt's leg injury and might stay in Peterborough for a while."

Harvey didn't ask any further. He opened the paper bag. Inside were a stack of photos of Dwight and Eloise. Although not too intimate, they were enough to make him feel sour. He knew that Dwight visited Switzerland every month. But in these three years, he hadn't visited even once. Because of Linda, he couldn't leave, nor did he dare to disturb her!

For three years, he could only relieve his longing through photos, but each time Dwight and Landon's sister Blake was included.

Denise could tell that her boss was jealous! She casually placed an invitation on the table, "Mr. Colman and Veronica are having a grand banquet for their fourth wedding anniversary."

Harvey smiled at the thought of the couple.

Denise added with a smile, "Eloise is also going!"

Suddenly, the invitation seemed more valuable to Harvey. He held it in his hands, pondering, while casually saying, "You've been working with me for a few years now. It's time for a raise! Oh, and it's your birthday next month. Pick out a gift for yourself in the mall and expense it later."

Denise beamed, "Thank you, Mr. Horigan!" As a reward, she picked out a necklace worth 16,000 for herself. She had transformed from a legal worker to a shrewd businesswoman, and she deserved it.

After Denise left, Harvey walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window alone, looking down. About 10 minutes later, he shakily pulled out a cigarette and lit it. Taking a deep drag, he closed his eyes.

She was finally back.

Saturday night at Riley and Veronica's wedding anniversary party, Eloise made her first appearance. She hadn't seen Veronica for a long time. When they met, they hugged each other tightly.

Veronica examined Eloise. She had recovered well and still looked delicate and elegant. But she seemed more mature than before, which made her even more attractive. Tears welled up in Veronica's eyes, "You naughty girl! You ran so far away!"

Eloise smiled lightly, "I won't be going anywhere for now."

Veronica chuckled, "If you run away again, I'll break your legs!"

As they were talking, Riley came over with their son Matthew. Matthew was five years old, a robust kindergartener.

Riley had Matthew greet Eloise. Matthew was very well-behaved, and Eloise liked him. She had even brought a gift for him.

Seeing her affection for Matthew, Veronica quietly urged, "You like children so much, and there are so many men pursuing you, but you never seem interested!"
