Tangled Temptations

A couple of days later, Linda was discharged from the hospital.

Parker hosted a family banquet, and he casually mentioned it to Brett, who was on a business trip in Peterborough. To his surprise, Brett actually showed up.

He brought a toy for Daniel. However, Daniel was not familiar with him and clung to Orlena, blushing shyly.

Brett felt a bit disappointed. He looked at Orlena, with a meaningful look in his eyes, "You should mention me more often; that kid treats me like a stranger."

Pauline chuckled from the side, "Just spend more time with him. Daniel is very well-behaved."

Parker, on the other hand, was very generous. He invited Brett to sit down and have a drink with him, with Harvey keeping them company.

Brett was not a fool. Parker, this cunning old fox, had graciously accepted the fact that he and Orlena had a child. This was not just for the sake of Eloise, but more so for the resources of Brockville.

Brett, who had the power to access these resources with just a signature and a few words, was willing to compensate. He found himself being persuaded to drink by the Horigan father and son at the dinner table, and realized it had been over a decade since he got drunk.

That was right. Who would dare to persuade Mr. Brett to drink? Whenever he attended social events, his secretary or assistant would always take the drink for him. When did he ever drink personally?

When Brett was leaving, Eloise escorted him to his car. As she watched the car drive away, she returned to her own vehicle, where Harvey was waiting for her.

He was leaning against the car, smoking quietly with his head slightly tilted back. His posture was elegant and attractive. Eloise approached him, with a playful smile on her face, "You and Parker worked really well together. Uncle Brett must have drunk almost half a bottle."

Harvey gave her a sidelong glance and chuckled, "You are worried about him?" He pinched her cheek, "No worrying about other men. Not even for your uncle." Eloise knew Harvey was always a bit jealous, especially of other men, but she didn't mind. She opened the car door and invited him in, "Let's go home. Linda is staying here tonight. We can come pick her up tomorrow night."noveldrama

Harvey wrapped his arm around her slender waist, whispering, "That was arranged by mom and dad. They want us to have some alone time. Eloise, shall we try for another baby tonight?"

Eloise sighed. Their driver was still in the car, and Harvey was making such bold suggestions. She whispered, "Harvey, you're drunk."

He helped her into the car, but he wasn't behaving himself. His gentle hand traced the line of her leg, gently massaging the back of her foot.

Eloise's heart raced. In the dim car, there was only the sound of their breathing and the masculine scent of Harvey. She thought he was taking advantage of her. But after a while, he leaned on her shoulder and asked softly, "Were you scared the last time you drove?"

Her foot had been injured before and there was a possibility that she might have lost control of the brakes, causing them to crash. Even after all these days, Harvey was still a bit scared.

Eloise felt warmth in her heart. She tilted her head and gave him a quick peck on his handsome nose, "I didn't think about that at the time."

Harvey let go of her foot. He lay down on her lap, gently holding her by the waist. Eloise had been with him for several years and had never seen him in such a vulnerable state. She couldn't help but reach out and trace his handsome face. Harvey was looking up at her.

At that moment, their feelings for each other were so equal.

Eloise did something she had never dared to do before. Even with the driver in front of them, she couldn't help but kiss him. She gently licked into his mouth.

Harvey couldn't resist, he wrapped his arm around her neck, deepening the kiss. The driver was in front, so everything was done secretly, which made it even more exciting.

As their passions flared, he teased her, "Eloise, you've become naughty." "Do you like it?"

"I love it."

The driver was in front of them, driving smoothly, but his ears were turning a little red.

Half an hour later, the car slowly pulled into the villa. Harvey sat up and said seriously, "Drive the car into the garage."

The driver responded, "Yes, Mr. Horigan."

The black car slowly drove into the underground parking lot. As soon as the car stopped, the driver immediately opened the door and ran off.

In the dim interior of the car, a man and a woman were kissing. Eloise was sitting

in his arms, her neck tilted back, creating a beautiful line. Harvey couldn't resist and leaned over to kiss her. As they kissed passionately, their clothes became disheveled.

Eloise hugged him, biting her lower lip, "Let's go back to the bedroom."

Harvey gently tugged at her long, brown hair, leaned in to kiss her, his voice muffled, "I can't wait. Let's do it here first."

...

In the morning, Eloise woke up. Harvey was no longer in bed. The pillow beside her was slightly dented, and there was a fresh rose on it.

Eloise felt completely relaxed. She thought back to the wildness of last night, and there was a certain sweetness to it, especially since their child was not there. She could lie on his pillow, savoring the moment.

She felt her cheeks turning red at the thought of how desperate she had been.

Last night, in the heat of the moment, Harvey had teased her, "Eloise, you're at that age now. How have you survived these past three years. What did you do when you missed me?"

When Harvey was doing such things, he loved to talk dirty. Eloise had thought she would be disgusted, but when he whispered it in her ear, she found it incredibly arousing.

Just as she was lost in thought, the phone rang. It was Harvey, his voice was very gentle, as though he were whispering in her ear, "Eloise, could you find a document for me? Denise will be coming to pick it up later."

Eloise responded softly. He guessed she was still in bed, so his tone became even gentler, "Does it hurt?"

Eloise blushed. She naturally didn't want to answer that, "I'm going to find the document."

Harvey was probably alone in his office, and deliberately said a few provocative words to her. Eloise couldn't stand it and hung up the phone.

After hanging up, she put on a robe and went into his study. She found the document and was about to leave when her eyes were drawn to a piece of information. The cover was a leather bag, and it looked like a detective's file.

Eloise hesitated, but eventually opened it. When she saw the contents of the file, she was taken aback and slowly sank into the office chair.

The file had one name on it - Luca.

Luca, AB-negative.

Just then, a maid came upstairs and told her, "Madam, Denise is here to pick up a document."

In all fairness and decency, Eloise knew she ought to go herself. But glancing down at the marks on her body, she decided it would be best to have the maid deliver the document to Denise, along with her apologies.

Downstairs, the maid handed over the document to Denise. It wasn't long before she hopped into her car and sped off. Once she returned to Everest Technologies, she marched straight into the CEO's office and handed the document to Harvey. However, she was a tad puzzled. It wasn't exactly urgent for her to retrieve the document, so why had Mr. Horigan insisted she get it today?

Harvey, dressed in a classic black and white suit, sat behind his desk, holding the document in hand. He casually asked, "Did Eloise say anything?"

Denise looked at her boss, noticing the two conspicuous scratch marks on his neck. It looked like he had a quite a wild night. She cleared her throat softly, "She didn't come downstairs."

Harvey caught on quickly, and with a slight wave of his hand, he dismissed Denise. Once the door was closed, he leaned back into the plush leather chair, rotating it slightly, certain that Eloise must have seen the file.

He wondered, what would her reaction be when he got home in the evening?
