Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 296

Deep into the night.

Denise delivered the documents. In the study, Harvey and Eloise sat side by side.

He signed first, decisively and briskly. When it was Eloise's turn, she held the paper for a long time before bending down to sign her name.

Tears welled in her eyes.

Harvey leaned back on the sofa, watching her for a few seconds, his tone laced with mockery. "Isn't this what you wanted?"

A sense of satisfaction filled him. Finally, he had managed to make Eloise feel awful.

Eloise was upset. She was not like him. Harvey did not love her, and divorce was nothing to him. But for her, with all the memories, she divorced him.

From then on, they would become strangers.

Eloise gently put down the pen, and whispered as she stood up, "Tomorrow morning, I will move out with the kids."

Harvey was taken aback. So soon?

Eloise didn't say anything more. She held the doorknob of the study, gently opened the door, and gently walked out.

The door closed quietly behind her.

Harvey stared at the door panel. The satisfaction he had felt was slowly sinking.

.

Early morning.

The movers were already at work, going in and out. When Harvey descended the stairs, tie neatly knotted, he saw the scene.

Coincidentally, Eloise was also in the hall. She calmly told him, "I will have the things at the villa moved out in a few days. The piano... I want it."

Harvey looked at her calm demeanor, and his throat tightened. "Take whatever you want."

Eloise nodded at him and then left in Baron’s car.

Harvey didn't go to the office that day. He waited until the movers had emptied Eloise's belongings before slowly making his way upstairs.

Everything was gone. In this newly refurbished bedroom, all of Eloise's belongings were gone.

Harvey slowly sat down on the mattress. Feeling restless, he lit a cigarette and smoked in silence. He thought Eloise was heartless, leaving so abruptly.

The old housekeeper knocked at the door and cautiously said, "Sir, the movers left a small box behind. It might belong to Ms. Eloise. It's in such a nice box, it must be something important."

Harvey reached out, "Let’s see."

The housekeeper handed him the small box. Harvey held the cigarette in one hand and felt the box with the other. He could tell that this was specially packed; it must have been one of Eloise's treasures. Perhaps, it was a piece of jewelry worth billions.

Harvey casually opened the box, but to his surprise, it wasn't any rare jewel. Instead, it was an old diary and a small voice recorder.

He frowned and found it weird that Eloise would cherish such things.

He gently opened the diary, and then froze. It was his handwriting, expressing his love and longing for Eloise—

[My greatest love, is Eloise.

She likes to play the piano and wear designer clothes.

Every day, I will give her roses.

Our first child is Linda. Eloise almost died giving birth to her. Linda is not well, she has a blood clotting disorder, and is AB-negative.
