NovelStartChapter 53 Eloise's cheeks started to heat up. She called Michelle, letting her know she was about to visit her dad at the hospital. Unexpectedly, Michelle was quite adamant, saying, "I've got your dad covered here, you just started with Harvey, and you guys need to spend more ttogether." Eloise was taken aback. They need to spend more ttogether? Isn't her thing with Harvey just a secret affair? Eloise wouldn't delude herself into thinking Harvey helping her out meant he was in love with her, there ain't that many Cinderella stories in real life. But she didn't want to upset Michelle, so her response was somewhat vague. Michelle seemed pleased, gave a few more instructions, and hung up.
Eloise was left in a daze for a while after hanging up, not even noticing Marianna standing at the door. Marianna cover to ask what food she wanted for lunch, only to find Eloise wearing a men's shirt, faint marks scattered across her exposed neck and shoulders. Oh boy! Attorney Horigan was really showing his youthful vigor. Marianna looked amused, gave her a knowing look, and said with a voice full of experience, "Men are always excited in the beginning, don't worry, I'll make sgood food for you, eat and rest well after." Eloise knew Marianna misunderstood, but she saw no need to explain, it's bound to happen sooner or later anyway.

Once she was gone, Eloise pulled her shirt slightly open to inspect her body, indeed there were marks all over that were hard to look at. She took a deep breath, having a gut feeling that Harvey's needs were more than the average guy. So, Eloise decided to take a bath. With the water running down, her head would clear up a bit, she needed to think about how to proceed in the future.
After lunch, Harvey called her, asking her to pick up swine for him from a merchant. He had a few boxes of high-end red wine stored there and wanted Eloise to bring back two bottles. Eloise agreed with a docile, gentle tone...
Standing in his high-rise office, exuding an air of elegance, Harvey gently pulled the blinds and chuckled, "Aren't you going to ask what I did today?" Eloise knew, he had taken care of her dad's issue, she expressed her gratitude. Harvey just laughed again and didn't say anything more.
Eloise looked at her phone, feeling a bit puzzled by him. Since she was picking up wine for him, the people there should know him. Eloise changed into a more formal outfit, looked up the address. Turned out it wasn't far, just around the corner from the apartment. She decided to walk there, it would help digest the food and it would be a nice walk, she's been too stressed out recently.
Eloise got the wine quickly and was heading back when she was stopped at the entrance of the apartment. "Eloise." The familiar voice made Eloise pause, looking up, it was the Velona family's Aliza Velona and her daughter. Having experienced the ups and downs of life, seeing them now made her throat tighten a bit, she asked casually, "You need something from me?" Aliza kept her cool, smiled and said, "There's a café across the street, let's talk there!" Eloise had no idea what happened today, thinking Aliza cspecifically to hand her a check. She just smiled and didn't refuse.
The three of them sat down in the café, Eloise didn't take the initiative to order.

The Velona family mother and daughter were used to hergenerosity finding Eloise not taking the lead in paying this time, they awkwardly ordered three coffees.
As they sipped their coffee, Aliza glanced at the wine next to Eloise, calmly stating: "This kind of wine isn't cheap, one bottle must be at least twenty grand." Eloise suddenly looked up, meeting Aliza's scrutinizing gaze.
In that moment, Eloise realized that her relationship with Harvey was out open, the Velona family knew.
