Tangled Temptations

Chapter 150

Harvey paused for a moment. "Let's hold on to it for now. | haven't made up my mind yet."

The housekeeper cut in again, "What about that piano? You gave it to Ms.

Laurent, | heard it's pretty pricey! Attorney Horigan, you don't play the piano either, are you planning to let

Denise deal with it too?"

Harvey was at a loss for words.

"The piano is called Astral."

The housekeeper made a face, as she didn't understand these things.

Harvey's gaze landed on the Astral piano, and he was silent for a moment before whispering, "Let's keep it for

now."

The housekeeper didn't ask any more questions.

She thought, "Ha, he can't let go of Ms. Laurent's things. Attorney Horigan obviously hasn't moved on. From my

experienced perspective, it won't be long before Attorney Horigan will be crying and begging for a reunion."

After the housekeeper figured this out, she straightened her back and went back to work.

Harvey was in a daze with his coffee cup...

In the following week, Harvey developed a bad habit, as he always bumped into Eloise after work.

Sometimes, it was places Eloise liked to go. Sometimes, it was the music bars and restaurants that Callum liked.

He didn't know Callum well, but their families had connections, so there was always a nodding acquaintance.

Callum probably didn't play in their circle, so he didn't know anything about him and Eloise, but after a while,

any man who wasn't completely dense would notice something was up.

Callum asked Eloise once. Eloise was a little taken aback, she thought Callum knew. But after she recovered, she

admitted it, she said she had a thing with Harvey once.

After saying that, she looked at Callum. If Callum couldn't accept it, she wouldn't force it, after all, smen

really care about it.

At that time, Callum didn't say anything. But when he dropped her off, he confessed in the car, "Eloise, if Harvey

comes back to you, would you agree?"

"Men understand men. Harvey's bachelorhood is well known." Callum thought, their break up was probably

because of that.

"But recently Harvey has been hanging around Eloise", Callum thought, "A proud man like that doing this, is

probably too proud to let go and wants the woman to take the initiative to return to him."

He wanted to know, would Eloise go back?

After asking, Callum stared at Eloise intensely.

Eloise leaned back in her seat. She looked back at Callum, they had been getting along quite well these days, it

wasn't hot but it was warm, except for the kiss on the forehead on Christmas Eve, he never overstepped.

She knew Callum cherished her. She also cherished this relationship and wanted to take it seriously!

After a long time, Eloise spoke softly. "Callum, I'm serious."

Callum's tense nerves relaxed, no one knew how nervous he was just now. He knew he was good, his

background and looks were not lacking, but he also knew that compared to Harvey, he was a bit bland.

Harvey's status and charm were obvious, as magazines even called Harvey a walking hormone! Callum was a bit

insecure. Eloise's words reassured him a lot. He leaned over and kissed Eloise's cheek, his voice slightly hoarse,

"It's only nine o'clock, can | cup and sit for a while?"

Eloise was fixing her hair. Earlier at the restaurant, a kid got schocolate on her hair. Eloise smiled and said,

"I need to wash my hair, I may not be able to make coffee for you."

Callum looked at her. "I'm not here for the coffee, can | help you dry your hair?"

Eloise had no reason to refuse him. She and Callum had been dating for a while and their relationship was

developing seriously. If she didn't even let him into her apartment, that would be a bit too much. She smiled and

said, "Then I'll make the coffee first before | wash my hair."

Callum also smiled, his smile was faint. In fact, Eloise didn't realize that when they were dating, she never

completely relaxed...

Eloise invited Callum to her apartment. The apartment was on the fourth floor, not big, about 50 square meters.

But it was well decorated and very cozy.

Eloise made a cup of coffee for Callum, then went to the bathroom to wash her hair. When she cout, she

found Callum with his coffee standing by the window, apparently looking at something. Eloise asked as she

towel-dried her hair, "What are you looking at?"

Callum's gaze was on a Bentley downstairs, hearing Eloise's voice, he raised his coffee cup, "The coffee is really

good."

"It's made of Colombian coffee beans."

Callum smiled and said, "Chere, lethelp you dry your hair."

Eloise didn't doubt him. She handed Callum a hairdryer, then turned her back to him, so she didn't see Harvey

downstairs.

Callum was very gentle when he dried her hair. And he behaved very properly. After drying her hair, he gently

hugged Eloise from behind, "I want to stay tonight."

Eloise stiffened slightly. She gently pulled away and quietly said, "Callum, this is a bit too soon!"

Callum gave a bitter smile. He admired Eloise's rationality, but a girl who was too rational in a relationship could

only mean one thing, which meant she wasn't invested enough and didn't have enough passion. She didn't even

have the desire for him that a woman should have for a man.

Callum sat for a while, then left first. When he went downstairs, the Bentley was still there, the window was

down, Harvey was leaning on the door, smoking. Just looking at his posture and profile, Callum felt that Harvey

was very charming.

Callum nodded courteously. Harvey turned to look at him, their understanding was mutual.

After a while, Harvey chuckled and nodded back. He didn't wait for Callum to get in the car, he left first. Callum

watched the tail lights, his mind filled with complex emotions.

Harvey drove back to his crib. He shucked off his jacket, tossed it onto the couch, then planted himself in front of

the piano. His slender fingers fell on the black and white keys, playing Piano Sonata No. 14 with his eyes closed -

the tune Eloise would play most often around the house.

Harvey could play the piano, but he was no maestro. He never told Eloise because he didn't see the point. His

plan was to date her for a while, maybe a year, maybe two, and then split amicably, leaving her with a fat check.

But their relationship ended in less than two months.

Eloise didn't want his money. She just wanted out, to start fresh. She was with Callum now, looking happy,

looking fulfilled.

It had been ten days... Ten days of Eloise and Callum together, ten days of Callum

in her life. Were they about to take it to the next level soon?

The piano hummed low. Harvey just stared at the instrument.

He thought back. He had gifted Eloise that piano when they first got intimate. She had redecorated the whole

place, beaming like a bride on her wedding day. She had no idea then that this was just how rich dudes take care

of their girls.

He pampered her, pleased her. And in return, he got the ultimate sensory and physical pleasures. After all, when

there's a smidge of emotion between two people, the intimate moments are different. Like when Eloise was in

his arms, with eyes sparkling with love, Harvey felt something special.

So, would she look at Callum the sway?

No, hell no! Over his dead body!

Ten days, that was Harvey's limit...
