Tangled Temptations

Chapter 114

Harvey flashed his sharp face while gritting his teeth. "Griffin, I'm listening."

He gazed down at Eloise.

After watching her lose herself in pleasure, he couldn't control his lust. The faint voice on the phone only made

the scene even sexier.

Griffin was a grownup. He didn't need to think twice about what the two were up to on the other end of the call.

He cleared his throat. "Harvey, it's late. | won't bother you."

Then he hung up. He yearned to meet the child he had never seen. He thought that if the child was a girl, she

should never date someone like Harvey. Despite his good qualities, his libido was too high. He was making love

while speaking to an elder on the phone? His frequency was even faster than most rappers in their songs.

He thought again. No! A man like Harvey couldn't be his daughter's husband!

He chuckled bitterly. He couldn't find the child in the crowd, but he was now imagining her dating Harvey.

Harvey's current girlfriend was Ms. Laurent, and they seemed well-matched.

Harvey tossed his phone aside. He had a blast the whole night.

They made up and indulged themselves for a few days. They worked during the day, and after work, they would

eat, bathe, cuddle, kiss, and, naturally, make love.

Eloise had to admit that she was indeed addicted to this beautiful life.

Harvey was like a vibrator that never ran out of battery. He was passionate and knew what women liked; there

was no way she could resist him.

On Saturday night, they made love a few more times.

Harvey leaned against the headboard, lighting a cigarette out of habit.

Eloise loved watching him smoke with his legs apart, looking completely at ease. She thought he looked very

manly.

Harvey's phone beeped twice. He picked it up, smoking and checking it at the stime.

Eloise, applying skincare after her bath, asked softly. "Working this late? You're really dedicated."

Harvey chuckled. "Nope! It's Griffin. He's looking for his lost child. Griffin did a DNA test this week. If the child

also did the test, they should be a match."

Eloise paused.

A DNA bank...

If she also entered the DNA bank database, could she find her biological father? "What are you thinking about?"

Harvey patted the spot next to him. As she cover, he held her and kissed her, his voice hoarse and sexy.

"Did you like the jewelry and clothes | sent you today?"

Eloise definitely liked them. No woman could resist jewelry.

But the jewelry and clothes, even without knowing the market price, were clearly worth at least two million

dollars. She leaned on his shoulder and spoke the truth. "They're too valuable. Harvey, | can't accept these

gifts!"

"Why not? | wanted to give them to you."

Harvey caressed her gently, his eyes closed in thought.

He thought he would give her the 400-square-meter office later. If she liked it, he would put this apartment under

her ntoo. He really liked her and was willing to give her anything.

After thinking about this, he felt his pants getting tight again.

He whispered in her ear. "Eloise... Can you ca bit closer?" Eloise had never met a man who was so lustful

and generous.

Ever since Harvey mentioned the DNA test, Eloise couldn't help but think about it.

She was indecisive. She wanted to take the DNA test but was afraid to hurt Angus and Michelle.

The staff at the coffee shop downstairs of Encore Soundworks always brewed the coffee Eloise liked. Every time

she cto check on the test's progress, she would sit there for a while.

In the lazy afternoon sunlight, Eloise propped her chin, lost in thought.

A gentle voice interrupted her thoughts. "Ms. Laurent."

Eloise looked up and was surprised to see Griffin.

She quickly stood up. "Mr. Lynch, hello."

Griffin, wearing a light-colored casual suit, looked very friendly. He smiled slightly. "You're dating Harvey, so why

are you still being so formal? | almost treat Harvey as my own son."

Eloise helped him pull out a chair and smiled. "Didn't you just addressas 'Ms. Laurent'?"

"My mistake! | should call you... Lou."

When Griffin said this name, his voice tightened slightly, as if he were reminiscing about something.

Eloise handed him the menu and laughed. "My dad sometimes callsLou!" Griffin seemed lost in thought.

He looked at Eloise, who resembled Louise very much and was at the sage his daughter would be as well.

He couldn't help but hope a little, so he asked. "Have you met Harvey's parents?"

Eloise was surprised.

Although Griffin was an elder, suddenly bringing up this topic was a bit abrupt.

She thought for a moment and chose a 'safe' answer. "We're still getting to know each other; we're not at the

point of meeting his family yet."

Griffin didn't get an answer.

Just then, his coffee arrived. He took a sip and smiled. "What do your parents do?"

Eloise stared at her coffee and went silent for a while, then said softly, "My dad's an auditor. My mom passed

away when | was very young. | have an aunt who takes care ofnow; she's really good to me."

After Eloise finished, she gave Griffin a faint smile.

But the corners of her eyes were wet from tears. Clearly, this topic reminded her

of her mom.

At that moment, Griffin felt a sudden heartache.

He whispered. "Sorry. | didn't know she passed away."

If her mom passed away at such a young age, then her mom definitely could not

be his Louise. Louise was so healthy, and all the fortune tellers he visited told him she would live long and

becrich.

Griffin cback to his senses, realizing he had lost his cool.

He wanted to ask the nof Eloise's mother, but as he was about to ask, his phone rang.

Griffin glanced at his phone and gave Eloise an apologetic smile. "Sorry, it's my daughter. She just arrived in

Peterborough; | need to pick her up at the airport."

Eloise nodded softly.

Griffin reluctantly said goodbye, gently touched Eloise's hair, and said amiably. "See you next time; just call me

Griffin from now on. I'll treat you to a meal next time."

Eloise smiled faintly. She looked particularly cute when she smiled.

Griffin was in a daze again.

She really resembled Louise. If her mother hadn't passed away, he could've asked her.

That night, Eloise told Harvey about her encounter with Griffin at the cafe.

Harvey smiled and said, "Isn't Griffin your dream guy? Did you seize the opportunity to have more cups of coffee

with him?"

He sounded like he was a bit jealous.

Eloise teased. "Isn't my dream guy supposed to be you?"

Harvey was clearly amused.

Then Eloise regretfully said, "We only chatted for a while before he received a

call. It was his daughter, Joan; she was going to the airport."

Joan...

Harvey stiffened a bit, didn't respond to Eloise, and just kept staring at the TV screen.

He didn't even know what was on the TV.

Recently, Eloise had been getting along well with him. Harvey's mature character and excellent work experience

made her willing to actively ask him about many things. Now she wanted to discuss DNA testing with him and

hear his views.

But after she talked for a while, Harvey seemed to not be paying attention to her.

"Harvey?"

"Harvey!"

Harvey snapped back to reality, and he looked at Eloise in front of him. Eloise was beautiful, gentle, and had a

good personality. She took good care of him outside of work.

Harvey knew that such a woman could complete his life if he wanted.

He also knew that Eloise liked him; her eyes could hardly hide secrets.

But he didn't want to be tied down and didn't want to be led by the nose by a

woman like last time. He just wanted to enjoy their current "no-strings-attached" relationship.

He thought this was just fine.
