Tangled Temptations

Chapter 155

Harvey was all fired up as he blurted out his thoughts.

Sure, she and Callum had a fling that lasted 10 days, but that was just a flash, no biggie.

Only he, Harvey, knew her body inside and out.

He was trying to sweet-talk the woman in his arms, coaxing her to go along with his desires.

Just as he was about to take off his shirt...

A heartbreaking sob echoed in the room, faint but piercing.

Harvey was taken aback.

Eloise was curled up beneath him, whispering she didn't want this, whispering it hurt.

Harvey was intrigued. He kissed her, wanting to understand her feelings. "I haven't done anything yet, how

cit hurts?"

Eloise opened her eyes.

Her beautiful eyes were full of tears, shimmering like they were underwater...

She gently stroked his face, slowly voicing her subconscious thoughts. "The surgery hurt! When that machine

went inside me, it was agony... Harvey, you weren't there. | could only grip the sheets..."

As Eloise spoke, the tears began to flow.

Big droplets rolled down her cheeks.

"lI was in so much pain. | was counting the seconds, hoping that the pain would end... But it never did... Harvey,

you were the one who tookto the hospital, but why did you go to Joan Lynch? Do you know how ridiculous |

felt watching her, flushed and happy? | wasn't even a decent stand-in..."

Eloise seemed tipsy, maybe she wasn't really drunk.

She took this opportunity to pour out her feelings, wanting to reject him.

"Harvey... | don't want to keep doing this to myself. | don't want to endure the pain anymore."

Harvey listened in a daze, a sudden pang hitting his heart.

Eloise had never told him about any of this...

Was that night unforgettable for her? So much so that she didn't even want to do this anymore?

Even though she was drunk, Harvey could still try to soothe her.

He was confident that he could get her to relax, and then they could have a wonderful night, but when Eloise

said she was in pain, he hesitated...

Slowly, his passion began to cool.

He didn't leave Eloise's body, instead holding her gently.

He nuzzled her face, kissing her delicate neck, whispering soothing words. "It won't hurt anymore! Eloise, you

won't be in pain anymore... I'll be careful, I'll stay with you even if you have to go to the hospital, okay?"

Eloise didn't respond to him.

She fell asleep in his arms, tears streaming down her face...

Night fell.

At this time, the heart tends to soften.

Harvey always thought he was hard-hearted, but his feelings for Eloise were the only exception.

But it wasn't enough for this girl.

She didn't want him, but she'd rather pick through trash, hoping to find a treasure. Harvey chuckled.

In the trash... Where could you find a real treasure?

He was confident that he was the only treasure Eloise truly wanted. No one else

could get close to her, or they'd be in for a world of hurt.

Harvey knew he was overbearing, but what could he do!

All he wanted was for her to cback to him.

Even though his plan wasn't successful, Harvey managed to drive off his rival Callum, so he was in a pretty good

mood.

He carried Eloise to the bedroom.

She lay on the soft bed, he even placed a bunny toy in her arms, which made her look adorable.

Harvey stripped and took a shower in her small bathroom.

There weren't any of his pajamas here, so he had to sleep shirtless, holding her.

The night becmore and more quiet.

The air was filled with a hint of orange essence, slowly spreading...

Morning.

Eloise woke up, startled when she opened her eyes.

Harvey... What was he doing in her bed?

"Need a good morning kiss?" The man's voice had a lazy tone.

Eloise bit her lip.

"Why are you in my house? Harvey... Get off! You jerk!"

Harvey held her and kissed her for a long time...

After the kiss, Eloise collapsed next to him, completely drained.

She hadn't even brushed her teeth and he was already kissing her.

When her mind cleared, she recalled everything that happened last night, it seemed like she got drunk, then he

cover, then he kissed her on the couch, she cried a lot...

Eloise looked terrible, she flung the covers off to check.

Harvey had already gotten up and gave her a laugh when he saw her expression. "Do you really think I'd do

anything to you when you were crying that much?" Eloise blushed, cursed at him again, then told him to leave.

Harvey took his tputting on his clothes in front of her, like something really did happen last night. Plus, his

body was really nice, especially his well-defined abs, it was quite a sight.

Eloise couldn't bear to look at him.

She turned her face away, biting her lip, "Leave the keys."

Harvey laughed, "I paid for these keys. Why would | give them to you?"

Eloise was angry, he really had no shame.

Harvey zipped up his pants.

He walked over to her, looking at her blushing face, so beautiful, he could look at

it for a lifetand never get bored.

"Eloise, let's give it a try, okay? | don't know if we'll make it to the end, but I'm willing to give you what Callum

is... Let's just try it, if we have feelings then we'll get married."

He finished speaking and looked at her seriously.

Eloise was actually a little moved.

After all, she still liked him, but... a heart that's been hurt, how can it heal so easily?

She spoke softly, "Harvey, let's not, okay?"

Harvey frowned.

He was about to say something when his phone rang. It was a call from Griffin

Lynch.

Eloise didn't want to continue the conversation, so she said, "Answer your phone!" After she said that, she got up

and went to the bathroom.

Harvey had no choice but to sit on the bed and answer the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Griffin was in Britain, his voice anxious, "Harvey, Joan needs AB-negative due to

excessive blood loss. The hospital here in Britain

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

is short on AB-negative, we can't get it right away! Harvey... | really need your help, can you make a trip to

Britain?"

Harvey shot a subconscious glance at Eloise.

Eloise was brushing her teeth, clearly having heard it too.

She paused for a moment, then continued brushing, a bit more forcefully than

before.

After brushing her teeth, she headed to make breakfast.

She had heard it all!

Not only were Harvey and Joan each other's first love, but they even had the

srare blood type. How precious and rare...

Eloise's tender feelings were shattered.

She decided to keep her distance from him.

Once he sorted things out, he would go find another woman with the srare

blood type.

Harvey watched her walk into the kitchen.

He could tell she was upset, and that she still had feelings for him... Griffin, waiting on the other end of the

phone, grew impatient after a long silence.

"Harvey, are you too busy to even take a breath? For old times' sake, I'm asking you..."

Harvey's voice was icy.

"I know Griffin saved Orlena's life! I've been kinda swamped lately and can't make

it to Britain, so... I'll go to the hospital, get my blood drawn, and have it flown to Britain."

Griffin was both disappointed and relieved.

The disappointment was due to Joan's condition. If Harvey could cin person,

it would not only give her emotional comfort, but also be more convenient for

blood draw compared to back home...

After finishing, Harvey hung up the phone.

He carefully walked into the kitchen.

In the morning light, Eloise's profile looked soft as she prepared breakfast.

Harvey hugged her from behind, "Are you mad at me?"
