Chapter 55 Eloise seemed a bit dazed.

Harvey lightly rested his hand on her shoulder and casually asked, "Why did you bring the booze into the café?" Eloise's mood inexplicably lifted.

She didn't hide anything from him, quietly saying, "I ran into someone I know, had a little chat." Harvey's eyes were glued to her, then shifted to the "someone" behind her, coldly saying, "Ah, it's Max." Compared to his nonchalance, Max looked quite tense.

He wasn't stupid, he could tell Harvey didn't like him, not just because of Orlena but probably Eloise too.

The two men's gazes clashed, sparks seemingly flying in the air.

Eloise gently took Harvey's arm and whispered, "Let's go back." Harvey nodded, withdrawing his gaze.

But then, Aliza walked out of the café, warmly greeting, "Harvey, is that you!" She seemed to have just noticed Eloise was with him, surprised she asked, "Eloise, how are you with Harvey now? Didn't you and Max have..." She suddenly stopped, seeming a bit hesitant.

What a reaction, most guys would've blown up at Eloise, but Harvey wasn't most guys. How could he let a scheming woman affect his mood? He handed his laptop bag to Eloise, then took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket.

As he lit one, he casually said, "Has Max had a girlfriend before? I heard from Orlena that Max was her first love." Aliza glanced at her son, looking a bit embarrassed. She quickly defended, "I meant Eloise's dad is an accountant at Velona Corporation." Harvey exhaled a circle of smoke, lightly flicking the ash, saying, "I thought Max and Eloise had something before, and then he dumped her, I thought he was irresponsible." The color drained from Aliza's face.

Then, Max calmly said, "Harvey, you're overthinking. Nothing happened between Eloise and me, and nothing will." Harvey gave a small smile.

He caressed Eloise's hair, saying, "Now I can rest easy." Eloise thought he was being a little outrageous, but he had solved her problem. She looked up at him.

Harvey was naturally handsome, exuding an air of mature confidence. Eloise's gaze softened a little.

Max had known her for four years, and he knew that look all too well.

-Eloise liked Harvey.

Max stood tall, quietly saying to Aliza, "Let's go."

Aliza left with a complex expression, pulling Olga along. Once in the car, Olga threw a tantrum, Mom, why didn't we expose Eloise? Isn't Mr. Horigan our relative? He'd definitely help us." Aliza told her to shut up.

She scoffed, "You think being relatives means being equals? Did you see Harvey's attitude? If he disagrees, your brother's marriage to Orlena might not happen." Olga was stunned.

Aliza ignored her, turning to her son, "Max, you should know how important this marriage is. No matter what you do outside, you can't touch Eloise." Max sat in the driver's seat, staying silent.

Aliza knew he was determined, so she didn't say anything else, believing Max could distinguish right from wrong.

His four-year relationship with Eloise wasn't that deep, and he just felt a bit uncomfortable now om gradually forged gradually forget their affection after getting married. As for Eloise and Mr. Horigan, there was no chance they'd beca couple.
