Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 273

After Harvey finished speaking, he pulled out a set of clothes from the closet. He dressed right in front of Eloise, who just watched him silently.

Once Harvey was dressed, he met her gaze, and was just about to make a sarcastic remark when his phone rang. He glanced and saw it was Parker calling, so he answered, "Dad!"

Whatever was said on the other end made Harvey's gaze fall on Eloise's face, seeming somewhat meaningful. "Yes, she's with me...We will have dinner together tonight!"

He hung up the phone, and his tone was indifferent. "Dad wants us to go home for dinner tonight. I'm a bit busy, so you go first with…the kid."

Eloise understood clearly. He wasn't busy; he just didn't want to pick her up. She didn't press him and quickly agreed. The two of them quietly went downstairs.

Harvey had his driver take her, while he opened the door of a black McLaren, and prepared to get into the car. Eloise approached, and they were separated by the car door.

Her tone was very calm. "Harvey, you can be cold to me, but...Linda is very sensitive. Please don't say those things in front of her!"

Harvey recalled the little one from the files. She looked a lot like Eloise, cute and tender, with a head full of curls. Quite adorable!

He nodded a bit coldly. "You can rest assured!"

Eloise felt a certain relief. She watched as the black sports car slowly disappeared before her. She didn't know whether to feel happy or sad. She was full of fighting spirit, but after being treated like that by him, she wasn't sure anymore!

She stood there for a long time. Baron watched her with a pained heart. He couldn't help but gently say, "Miss, let's get in the car! It's not good for you to stand for so long."

Eloise gently held her waist and forced a smile. "It does feel a bit sore!"

She returned to the villa. Once she got back, she shut herself in the study with all the curtains drawn.

The study was dark. Eloise leaned on the couch with Harvey's voice recorder by her ear. She quietly listened, countless times, until she felt somewhat energized.

In the evening, she picked up Linda, and they went to the Horigan Mansion. Just as they entered, Daniel rushed over, warmly greeting her, "Aunt Eloise!"

Eloise crouched down, gently touching his little head.

The little guy's face was slightly red. Linda made a funny face. He was always blushing and acting shy!

Parker and Pauline came over. Pauline took the two children to have dessert. Parker kept Eloise to talk. "Have you seen him?"

Eloise nodded. She didn't want to cause trouble for the elders, so she kept quiet about everything, but Parker already knew. He happened to have some inside information. He shrewdly glanced at Eloise, and slowly said, "He made such a demand, aren't you angry? Eloise... what I want to tell you is, don't indulge him just because he sacrificed for you! I don't need to tell you how much of a jerk Harvey was in the past! Anyway, tolerating him is not a long-term solution! You slapped him so many times in the past, but didn’t he still beg you to reconcile?”
