NovelStartChapter 65 Max suddenly rolled over.
He unlocked his phone and found a private album.
There was only one picture in it, a picture of Eloise.
That picture was taken a couple of years ago. Back then, he was always staying up late working, and Eloise would always wait for him at home, preparing food for him. One night, she waited too long and fell asleep at the table.
Her face was pure and innocent, like an obedient child.
When he chexhausted and saw Eloise sleeping, he felt a wave of tenderness.
For no particular reason, he took a picture of that moment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLater on, he started pursuing Orlena and broke up with Eloise in a heartbeat, but he never had the heart to delete that picture... Max himself didn't know why.
He didn't even like her that much! He wasn't even that good to her! He stared at the photo for a long tuntil he heard a knock at the door. It was his mother's voice, "Max, I need to talk to you." Max responded and put his phone away.
His mother cin and saw how tired her son looked. It pained her heart, but there were sthings that needed to be said.
"Max, whatever happened with Eloise is in the past." "You're already engaged to Orlena, you can't do her dirty!" "Plus, Eloise is living with sother guy now, her reputation is bound to take a hit sooner or later. How could we, the Velona family, accept a woman like that as your wife?" Aliza's words were sharp.
Max frowned and replied coldly, "She doesn't plan on being witheither." He picked up his jacket, as if he was going out.
His mother called after him, "Where are you going?" "Back to the office." Max got into his sports car, but didn't start it right away.
He closed his eyes, thinking about his mother's words, especially the part about "Eloise is now living with another man." It felt worse than death.
He wondered if Eloise wouldn't have ended up with Harvey if he hadn't pushed her so hard.
Eloise got back to the apartment before five.
Harvey usually got hat seven, so Eloise hurried to prepare dinner.
She was a neat freak, so she took a shower after cooking.
Eloise was in good spirits, hanging up the new clothes she bought for Harvey in his wardrobe. The soft fabric of her clothes hanging next to his cold-style garments looked surprisingly harmonious.
Lastly, she took out the things she bought for him.
Two shirts and a belt.
All from designer's brands, they were pricey.
Eloise lightly touched them, imagining Harvey looking dashing in these clothes, and couldn't help blushing.

He had a bad temper, but once they established their relationship, he was very good to her.
"I took on a tough case, I might have to work overtfor a few days." Eloise asked him, "So you're not coming hfor dinner tonight?" Harvey softly responded, he should have hung up, but he added, "I might only have tto cback and change clothes for the next few days." Eloise suddenly felt like she spent too much today.
Harvey was too busy and hung up quickly.
Eloise put her phone away and quietly looked at theshirts hanging in the wardrobe. The joy in her heart gradually faded. She ate dinner alone.
She laid on the bed alone, feeling a bit strange. Usually, Harvey would hold her tight...
Eloise suddenly blushed.
Why was she looking forward to Harvey's embrace?
She forced herself to try and sleep, but woke up several times during the night. It wasn't until morning that Harvey still hadn't cback, but Marianna came... Marianna said in her usual way, "Attorney Horigan often works late, Ms. Laurent, don't worry too much." Eloise nodded gently.
Harvey not coming hall night made her unable to relax and enjoyher tat home. After sthought, she asked Marianna to prepare sbreakfast to bring to Harvey.
