His Eagle Eyes on Me

Chapter 1847

"She wants to sellthe jewelry." Avery set the box onto the coffee table and extended her hand toward Elliot. "Givethe

receipt."

Elliot glanced at the receipt and saw that the jewelry was worth ten million. It was not a small amount.

"lI will pay her later..."

"She sold it to me, not you." Avery stepped toward him and snatched the receipt from his hand. "Ten million... It's generous of her

to spend so much as a gift for Layla. Does she always spend so much on Layla?"

Elliot shook his head. "No. She gave Layla a dress last year, and | saw the price of it. It was just fifty thousand or so!" "Fifty

thousand?! Do you consider that as cheap? It's a wonder that you are willing to accept such an expensive gift for your children!"

Avery glared at him.

He pursed his lips, not knowing how to respond. Layla was the one who had accepted the gift, not him, and he only went to check

on the price after Layla had accepted the gift.

"Mommy, | was the one who accepted the birthday present she gotlast year. The dress was really pretty and | didn't think it

was expensive..." Layla was not aware that the dress had cost fifty thousand.

"It's okay. It's done, and I'm sure your dad sent her a return gift." Avery sucked in a breath and walked toward Layla with the

receipt. "Layla, take a look at the jewelry. If you like it, then | will pay Natalie later." Layla opened the box for a glance. She had

thought that the jewelry looked beautiful in the photo and though that remained true in reality, Layla was no longer as fond of it.

"Mommy, it's too expensive... | don't want it. " Layla did not want Avery to spend so much money on her and closed the box after

taking one look.

"Darling, it's fine. So long as you like it, | can afford it." Avery opened the box again." Letput this on for you. Try it on."

"It's ten million! That's so much money and that's enough to buy a lot more jewelry," Layla said and turned to her father. "Daddy,

you pay."

Elliot hummed in agreement and immediately made a transaction of ten million to Natalie.

"Elliot Foster, | said | can afford it. Who are you trying to undermine?" Avery spoke sarcastically at his action. "l will pay you back

later. This is my gift to my daughter, > a"?RLU? | am going to pay for it myself."

Elliot stilled. "Didn't we talk everything out?

"Have | accepted your explanation?" she retorted. "Even if you are not lying, and I've indeed misunderstood you, we are still

divorced. Even family members have to set boundaries, and we are not a family anymore. We are not related in any way."

Seeing that she was insistent, he said, "Payback then."

"Yeah." Avery helped Layla with putting the jewelry on and brought her toward the mirror. "Darling, you look amazing with this. |

earn money to spend it, so don’t worry about the price. | can afford it." "But you don't have a job right now. What if | end up

spending all your money?” Layla muttered.

"I know my limits," Avery said and glanced at the door, before lowering her voice. "I have money. Don't tell your dad, though, it's

my secret."

Layla gaped in awe. "Okay, Mommy. | won't tell him."

"Okay. Now, tellagain, do you like this piece of jewelry?"

"I like it!" Layla beamed. "But Mommy, Daddy said that you two have talked everything out. Did you really? Have you

misunderstood Daddy?"

"Your dad cclean, but | don't know if what he said was true. If | accept his explanation, something just doesn’t feel right within

me. | don't want to blindly believe what he said, but | don't resent him as much now." Avery did not want her conflict with Elliot to

affect the children." Layla, if you think that he's a good father, then don't hate him just because of me."

"That depends on his performance!" Layla said. "I think he is trying to pursue you again."
