His Eagle Eyes on Me

Chapter 1896

Rage burned within her at his rejection. She should not have brought him an umbrella and should have left him to walk through the

rain without it. She should not have opened the door for him. Had he returned without seeing her, she would not be this enraged.

Avery finally realized why Layla had decided not to tell Elliot before they arrived in Bridgedale. It was because Layla knew exactly

what Elliot was like. However, it was too late for Avery to regret it since she had already let him in.

Regardless, she was not going to simply tolerate him.

"lI only informed you because | didn't want to fight. | am taking the kids to Bridgedale even if you say no!" Avery retorted. "This was

Layla’s plan. So if you still want to maintain a good relationship with your daughter, you better leave us alone."

Elliot studied her flushed cheeks and ignored her as he entered the living room.

"There's no point in running away from this conversation." Avery followed him. "I have the right to see them and | can take them

wherever | want to so long as they return hto you in the end..."

"Do you not care about Ivy?" Elliot sat on the couch and looked at her casually. "Poura glass of water. I'm thirsty."

Avery stilled and thought, "Water? Ivy?"

"What's with Ivy? Did you manage to check that pit?" Avery immediately forgot that she was just shouting at him earlier and went

to sit next to him.

"I'm thirsty," he repeated calmly while studying the anxious look on her face.

"Go pour yourself a glass, then, if you are thirsty!" Unable to stand his high and mighty act, she said, "Do you not know where the

glasses and the kettle are? Do you think that you are a guest here?"

"If I'm not a guest, am | the owner of this house?" he said before getting up. "If that’s who you considerto be, | can go pour my

own glass of water."

Defeated, she immediately pushed him down to the couch. "Be a guest, then!"

She reluctantly went and returned shortly after with a glass of water.

"Elliot, stop beating around the bushes >e(: PJX? tellwhat's going on with Ivy," demanded Avery, her heart sinking into her

stomach. "Was she really in that pit?" Elliot picked up the glass and sipped leisurely.

"You seem too relaxed, so | guess not. If that's not the case, then what are you trying to say?" Avery felt the extrurge to force

his mouth open and pour the entire glass of water down his throat.

Sensing that she was running out of patience, he set the glass down. "Don't you want to see that pit for yourself?" he said." From

what | heard the pit is so complicated that even the medical staff don't have the skills to get all the bodies out in one piece."

Avery straightened her back. "Where is that pit?"

"In Ylore. The pit was used by the kidnappers that took Ivy to bury bodies. It wasn't exposed until recently," he said. "I plan on

heading there, do you want to cwith me?"

"lI do," Avery agreed without hesitation, choking slightly. "When are you departing?"

"Tonight. Think it through. If you go, you will probably have to stay there for a while, so you won't be able to take the kids to

Bridgedale."

Avery realized that that was the reason why he had refused to let her take the children to Bridgedale. It was because he was

certain that she would follow him to Ylore to see the pit.

"Elliot, can you get straight to the point in the future? If you had mentioned the pit at the very beginning, | wouldn't have yelled at

you." Avery flushed.

"I told you | had something to tell you, and you were the one who wanted to go first,"

Elliot said.

Avery froze.
