Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 99

Harvey tossed off his coat as soon as he stepped into the apartment, throwing it onto the couch without a care.

Eloise whispered, "I'm going to change."

Harvey glanced at her without a word, then motioned for Orlena and Max to sit.

Instead, Orlena dragged Max around for a tour.

She ran her fingers over the Louis II piano and exclaimed, "Man, you're living large! Did you have this piano air shipped here? And your apartment has also changed a lot."

Harvey fetched a bottle of red wine and four glasses from the liquor cabinet.

He poured the wine leisurely and told Max, "Eloise did all this. She likes to keep busy at home."

Orlena was green with envy.

Harvey was so good to Eloise!

Max looked somewhat uncomfortable.

He had rushed over impulsively but felt uneasy once he entered the apartment. The place was filled with Eloise's presence, constantly reminding him that the woman who had loved him for four years was now living with another man.

He picked up his glass and downed the wine in one gulp.

Harvey swirled the wine in his glass, in high spirits.

Then, Eloise emerged in a soft loungewear, her hair tied up in a ponytail, revealing her slender neck.

Harvey watched her for a bit, then said in a master-of-the-house manner, "Just whip up something simple. Orlena's always on a diet, so no matter how much you cook, she'll only eat a little."

Feeling guilty about the kidnapping incident, Orlena told Eloise warmly, "Eloise, I promise I'll eat everything you make."

Eloise smiled and headed into the kitchen.

Unable to control himself, Harvey kissed her from various angles, but it never seemed enough. He loathed the engaged couple in the living room at that moment.

Still retaining some sanity, Eloise blushed and said, "You've been in here for a while. Go out."

Harvey looked at her, a roguish glint in his eyes. He asked her, "How am I supposed to go out like this, Eloise? Tell me."

With a red face, Eloise whispered, "Just tell them you're going to take a bath. Hurry, so they won't see."

Harvey shot her a playful smile. "Are you willing to let me suffer like this?"

Just as she was about to comfort him, the kitchen door swung open.

Max walked in.

Eloise and Harvey were still hugging; Eloise was gazing at Harvey with deep affection, and Harvey looked no better.
