Tangled Temptations

Chapter 153

After a long thought, Callum's mother finally said, "I want Callum to break up with

you! We can't accept a daughter-in-law like you in our family."

"| respect your decision!" Eloise replied and stood up to leave.

Callum walked in from the outside, his face full of anxiety.

He turned to look at Eloise, trying to find sclues on her face.

Eloise got it right away.

Delilah didn't like her. Despite Callum's insistence, he couldn't make the final decision.

Eloise did like him.

But given the current situation, she could only stop.

Politely and gently, Eloise said, "Callum, let's just call it off! A marriage without family approval won't be happy...

Thanks for your company these days."

But Callum didn't want to end the relationship.

He argued with his mother pale-faced, but Delilah was adamant. Finally, Callum turned to Eloise and whispered,

"I can go abroad with you, what do you think?"

Afterwards, he tightly held Eloise's hand.

Eloise felt ridiculous.

This was too humiliating!

In such a family, even Callum had to obey his mother's decision, let alone her?

She gently withdrew her hand and said, "Callum, | don't want this kind of relationship. We're not deeply involved

yet, it's not too late to end it now!"

Callum looked at her, his face full of disappointment.

Eloise could tell that he hadn't been doing well these days, probably because he was restrained in the Colman

family. But the more it was like this, the less she could go further with him.

She whispered an apology and was about to leave.

In the quiet café, Callum's mother's sharp voice suddenly rang out.

"Ms. Laurent, you don't want this kind of relationship? Do you like being played by Harvey?"

Eloise felt suffocated.

Her relationship with Harvey was genuine, but she didn't get a response in the end. It wasn't her fault.

Why did Delilah have to say this?

Eloise tried to control her emotions and softly said, "Now | understand why Callum

is still single at this age! With a mother like you, he probably doesn't even have the courage to pursue girls."

And she was the one he chose!

Eloise glanced at Callum again, not wanting to argue with him, and gently nodded before leaving.

When she left, her eyes were a bit red.

After all, her relationship with Callum was sincere.

But Eloise had her own bottom line and principles. If it didn't work out, then let it be. She didn't want to

compromise herself.

She decisively left, and Callum and his mother started arguing.

Delilah's words becmore and more harsh, each sentence was like a stab in Eloise's heart. To Delilah, the fact

that Eloise didn't accept her son probably hurt more than death!

Eloise walked straight out.

Get in the car, ready to hit the road.

She didn't start the car immediately, but took a tissue to wipe her eyes. Her eyes were a bit red and sore.

The passenger door was opened...

Harvey sat next to her, bringing in the cold wind.

Eloise turned her face, "Harvey, get out!"

Harvey looked at her swollen eyes and softly asked, "Did you break up with Callum? I told you, what's good

about being with him? He seems gentle and refined, but he's actually weak-willed!"

Eloise was annoyed and particularly sensitive to his words.

She threw the tissue in her hand at him.

"Get out of the car!"

Harvey didn't move, just stared at her.

Eloise didn't want her embarrassed look to be seen by others, especially Harvey.

If he didn't leave, she would kick him a couple of times.

Harvey gently held her arm, lightly stroked it twice, and quietly said, "Eloise, you only dare to lose your temper

with me."

She stared at him, her eyes filled with tears, looking incredibly touching. Harvey really wanted to continue

stroking her arm, but it wasn't the right time. He leaned in, lightly scraped her smooth cheek, and sighed softly,

"Seeing breaking up with Callum, I should be happy for a few days, even thank that old lady. But your tearless

look makesfeel bad. Eloise... no one can bully you except me."

After that, Harvey got out of the car.

He also took Eloise out of the car.

Eloise was a bit stunned. Harvey knew what Delilah had said? When she finally realized it, she started to

struggle, "Harvey, what are you doing?"

Harvey tightly held her shoulders.

He lowered his head to look at her, "I'm going to get back at them for you."

In the café.

Callum and his mother were still arguing, suddenly, Delilah saw Harvey bringing Eloise in.

She pointed at them angrily and said to Callum, "See! This girl is definitely not to be married, what's the use of

marrying her back home!"

Callum was pale and looked at Eloise.

Eloise wanted to say something, but Harvey warned her in a low voice, "If you dare to speak, I'll kiss you."

Eloise didn't speak...

Harvey looked at Delilah.

He put on a business-like demeanor and said politely, "Hello, Delilah."

Delilah snorted, "Harvey, take Eloise away. Callum is not good enough for her."

She originally thought Eloise was just a girl played by Harvey, so it didn't matter if she was a little disrespectful.

Harvey sneered.

He said word by word, "Indeed, your Colman family is not good enough."

Delilah's face changed drastically.

"Harvey, are you going to break off with me, an elder from the Colman family, over an irrelevant woman? What

would your parents think if they knew?"

Harvey sneered.

"Delilah, I'm 28 for heaven's sake. If | still need my parents to bailout for my own actions, | might as well not

call myself a man. Oh, and by the way... Eloise is the girl I've been taking care of. Having her withis like

adding a diamond coat your precious Colman family. Eloise and | had a little spat, so she went and dated Callum

for ten days in a huff. Consider those ten days a free trial courtesy. As for others, and the future..."

Harvey smirked, then continued.

"None of what happened between Eloise and | during these ten days should be any of your business. If anyone

dares to badmouth Eloise in public, | promise you, I'll bankrupt the Colman family and spend your profit on a

month-long fireworks display in Peterborough. Then, a month later, the Colman family will be history in

Peterborough."

Delilah pointed at Harvey, so furious she was about to pass out.

This reality was too hard for her to swallow!

How dare this young man threaten her!

"Callum... quick, call your relatives, | need to teach this disrespectful young man a

lesson, | need... | need..."

Callum didn't move an inch.

He stared at Eloise, his eyes reddening.

He really did have feelings for her!

After a moment of silence, he muttered, "I'm sorry, Eloise."

Eloise was right. They weren't meant to be.

He had tried for their future, but all he could win was Eloise bowing to his

mother... and Eloise didn't want that!
