Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 274

Harvey was not a man who liked to make concessions. In his memory, he never had a special woman in his life. The years had passed, but now he found himself with a wife, a young and attractive one at that, who was carrying his child. The mere thought was enough to excite him!

Although he didn't have feelings for her, he couldn't deny the physical attraction.

Caught off guard, Eloise found herself pinned against the foot of the bed. Guided by his male instincts, he held her slim waist, stirring her incessantly.

Eloise felt uncomfortable and scared. She was afraid that Harvey could unintentionally harm the baby, so even though she wanted to be close to him, she found it hard to let herself go.

The whole situation was rather unsuccessful.

Leaning close to her ear, Harvey teased with a hint of wickedness. "Don't you love me? Why don't you want me to touch you? Look at yourself, you don't feel a thing, do you?”

A tear trickled down Eloise's cheek. She turned her face away, feeling embarrassed. “I’m pregnant! I don’t want to do this!”

Harvey gently caressed her protruding, soft belly, where his child was being nurture He thought, he would never have these feelings for a pregnant woman if it wasn’t his own child!

Mutual attraction between a man and a woman, always requires some emotion. With her lack of response, he lost interest, intending to head to the bathroom.

A faint noise interrupted him from beyond the solid bedroom door. Peeking through the gap was a little curly brunette head, crying out like a kitten, “Mommy!”

Eloise froze. She’d been taken advantage of by Harvey and felt miserable. Her voice trembled weakly, “Mommy’s here!”

Her clothes were in disarray, but thankfully, the room was dimly lit. Both parents quickly got dressed. Especially Harvey, his face was as dark as thunder. He had never considered a child could interrupt them.

Linda climbed onto the bed, holding something. She skillfully crawled into her father's arms, took out a plastic stethoscope, and placed her soft little hand on Harvey's chest. “Grandpa said Daddy's sick. I will cure Daddy!”

With a flick of the switch, the room was suddenly bathed in bright light. Harvey's handsome face turned red, lingering lust still visible. Linda patted his face, noticing his flushed complexion. She was convinced he must’ve been sick. She diligently checked her father for any serious illness.

Eloise looked equally distressed. She took the opportunity to adjust her clothes and slipped into the bathroom. Harvey was grinding his teeth. This woman sure knew how to run!

Linda, with her curly hair bouncing, blinked at him. "Daddy, your heartbeat is so fast!” She was sure he was sick. Linda took out a small bottle and poured out two colorful little pills. "Daddy, take your medicine!”

Harvey looked at the bottle. It was rainbow candy. He wouldn’t usually eat such sweet stuff.

Linda's eyes welled up with tears, looking like a pitiful little puppy. Harvey's face stiffened. He forced himself to swallow the two candies. A sweet taste filled his mouth, but they were surprisingly not bad.

Linda stroked his head. “Daddy, you're so well-behaved!”

She was always longing for her father's affection. If Harvey didn't reject her, she would’ve pushed the boundaries even further. She pulled out a fairy tale book and handed it to Harvey, cuddling comfortably into his arms. Her little barefoot rested on his belly.

No one could resist such a cute little girl.

Harvey never used to like children, but perhaps because he knew she was his own, or maybe because she was so clever, he couldn't bear to disappoint her. He leaned against the headboard, with one hand lightly holding the little one. He started reading the fairy tale, albeit a little rusty due to lost memory.

Linda was quite displeased. "You don't read as well as my Dad from before!"

The Dad from before… Harvey was taken aback; it took a moment for him to realize that she was referring to him before his memory loss.
