Tangled Temptations

Chapter 160

Eloise was deeply touched.

After graduation, Vanessa had given her a lot of help. Vanessa was a great mentor and friend in her life.

Looking at Vanessa's retreating figure, Eloise felt a sense of unease.

She thought for a moment, then went to the front desk.

"Can you check Ms. Vanessa's recent attendance for me?"

The receptionist agreed with a smile.

In less than five minutes, the record was out. It showed that Vanessa had been taking a day off every three days

in the past half month.

Eloise's unease deepened.

But since Vanessa hadn't said anything, it felt wrong to pry into her private affairs. So, at work, Eloise took on

more tasks...

After work, Harvey called Eloise.

Eloise understood what he meant and quietly said "okay" into her phone.

Eloise went downstairs and got into the car.

She looked down at her red wool dress, covered with a thin white coat.

No matter how you looked at it, it seemed meticulously prepared.

She blushed a bit.

What was the difference between this and serving herself up to him on a silver platter?

She didn't dare to think about it, so she stepped on the gas and drove off.

When she arrived at Harvey's apartment, Eloise thought he'd be eager, but it turned out he was really busy.

The suitcase was in the living room, but Harvey was in the study. He was on the phone, seemingly discussing a

new case.

He looked at Eloise with a deep gaze, but his tone was severe with the person on the other end. He didn't hold

back at all.

Eloise felt a bit troubled.

This side of him was completely different from the Harvey she spoke to on the phone last night.

She felt confused.

Harvey covered the phone and softly said to her, "The housekeeper has bought singredients. Cook

something simple. | haven't had lunch yet."

Eloise silently headed towards the kitchen.

Harvey watched her retreating figure, his gaze deep.

Eloise hadn't been here for a long time. When she opened the fridge, the food inside had been replaced.

She started cooking, preparing a few of Harvey's favorite dishes.

Her state of mind was different from before.

Eloise thought, she didn't know when Harvey would get tired of her and seek out new excitement.

Suddenly, someone hugged her from behind.

Harvey gently bit her neck, his voice soft, "Will you blme for taking advantage of your vulnerability?"

Eloise didn't push him away.

She was here to satisfy him and make him happy.

"If I did, would you letgo?" she whispered back.

Harvey chuckled, didn't answer, but flirted with her instead, "How did you like what

| sent you last night? Want to hear the live version?"

Eloise bit her lip.

She really didn't expect a man to be so uninhibited!

And this man was Harvey!

She ignored him and brought the food to the dining room.

Harvey didn't get mad. He watched her bustling around and suddenly felt very content.

It seemed like the apartment was complete with Eloise in it.

He ate his meal in a very orderly manner.

But after the meal, he broke the rules and went to the bar to get two glasses of red wine.

Eloise looked up at him.

Harvey smiled languidly, "What, you want to get started right away?"

Eloise didn't want to make any overly romantic gestures with him. Harvey's charm was irresistible and she feared

she wouldn't be able to resist. So, pretending to be casual, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his

chin, asking, "Isn't this what you want?"

Harvey didn't want to start so soon, but he was a normal man and couldn't resist such temptation.

His gaze deepened, wanting to play a more romantic game.

Eloise gave a slight smile.

She tilted the glass of red wine in her hands, pouring all of it onto his dark trousers.

The deep red wine made his trousers look even darker, it looked quite bad.

"Eloise..." Harvey's voice was hoarse.

He didn't expect her to be so bold!

If he held back any longer, he wouldn't be a real man!

Eloise was carried into the master bedroom by him.

Red wine, the heat of a man's embrace, their panting... but in the end, Eloise still didn't let go.

Harvey was a bit disappointed, but he didn't show it. Instead, he embraced Eloise, kissing her and softly saying

it's okay.

Eloise lay on the sofa.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and said softly, "I'm fine, Harvey, con!"

Harvey didn't say anything.

He buried his face in her neck, waited till his breathing calmed down before

propping himself up, gently stroking her tender face...

He knew he should take Eloise to see a psychologist.

Because that night, he made her scared.

But he couldn't bear to.

He knew that Eloise cared about her dignity the most. Going to see a psychologist

because of this issue, he couldn't bear to.

Harvey said hoarsely, "Eloise, what are you afraid of? We've had beautiful experiences before!"

He got up and gently adjusted her clothes.

Eloise didn't resist, letting him do as he pleased.

Harvey lay down and pulled her into his arms again, giving her a kiss.

"I've always said, | want more than just sex with you."

"We're in a normal relationship."

"There was a twhen we first moved in together when we didn't have sex.

Wasn't that okay too?"

As he spoke, he becemotional again, so he held her tightly and passionately

kissed her cheek, his words muffled.

"Eloise... would you like to meet my parents this year?"

Eloise was stunned.

She knew Harvey liked her, both her personality and her body.

But he didn't believe in marriage!

She didn't take his words about starting their relationship over seriously.

But now he seemed to be serious!

Eloise wasn't sure, at least she wasn't planning to spend the rest of her life with

him just because he helped her once. It was too fast... and they were having a big problem with their sex life.

Harvey had a strong desire, and she didn't think he could hold back.

Eloise gently pushed him away, got up and turned her back to him.

Harvey remained in his original position, watching her...

After a long time, Eloise spoke softly, "Harvey, this is all | can give you! Either let
