His Eagle Eyes on Me

Chapter 1895

"lI don't care about what kind of man Avery dates, but I'm worried about you," Natalie said. "Since | mentioned Billy to you before, |

worried that this might make you feel miserable. If | had not said anything, | wouldn't have to worry."

"You only mentioned that he was horrendous-looking and short, right?" Elliot said casually. "I wouldn't be in misery over something

like that."

"That's not the worst part. Billy is a psychopath." Natalie's features twisted in pain. "People who are talented but disabled like him

tend to be sick in the mind. He has all these horrible pets like snakes, lizards, mice, and spiders... Just thinking back to it gives me

chills... He toldthat if | want to be with him, | will need to accept his pets."

Elliot fell dead silent when he heard that.

"Maybe it's because Avery is a doctor, so she probably won't be scared of those animals... But | don’t think that's the end of his

insanity," Natalie continued, "I don’t understand Avery's tastes. Why would she date such a man?"

Unable to stand another word, Elliot clenched his fists and stood up abruptly. " Avery might not be aware of his perverted ways!

You don't have to speak as though they belong together! Avery is not married to him yet!" he said, before storming out of the cafe.

In Starry River Villa, Avery's brow kept twitching after messaging Lilith, almost like a sign that something terrible was about to

happen.

She lay awake on her bed. Unable to fall asleep, she got up and walked toward the window to open the curtains.

The sky had somehow changed into a different shade without her knowing. It had been sunny at noon, but rain clouds had

gathered swiftly after that.

Layla called her the night before saying that she would only need another day to complete her assignments. Layla had decided to

take Robert with her to Bridgedale to meet with Hayden.

Layla had not mentioned her plan to Elliot, and she had only planned to tell him of her plans once she was in Bridgedale.

Therefore, she had asked that Avery keep it a secret as well.

Avery knew that Elliot would blher for taking the children to Bridgedale in secret, so she was at a crossroads with whether she

should talk to Elliot about it.

As it started raining, a black Rolls-Roice appeared outside her door.

She immediately ran downstairs, >c&

Avery ignored it and headed to the porch to grab an umbrella before stepping into the rain.

"If he is here now," she thought, "maybe it's God's will that | tell him."

She hurried to the yard and opened the gate, holding the umbrella as high as possible in an attempt to shield him from the rain.

He studied her awkward gesture for a moment, before grabbing the umbrella without hesitation.

"There's something | need to talk to you about," she said. She walked beside him as rain pelted the umbrella.

"Same." He slowed down so she would not have to struggle to catch up.

"Oh... Letgo first!" Avery was concerned that they would argue if he went first. Once they started arguing, she might forget

what she wanted to say in the first place.

"Let's go inside first."

The rain grew heavier and by the tthey got into the house, their shoes were soaking wet.

She went ahead and changed into slippers.

"I plan on taking Layla and Robert to Bridgedale in a few days’ time," she said while staring at the back of his head.

He changed into slippers as well and turned around, before responding with an emotionless voice, "No."
