His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1010

Avery walked up to him. "What did you buy?"

She had a clear view of what was in his trunk, and she instantly froze. The trunk was spacious and there was no telling what could be in it. Currently, it was jammed packed with boxes and bags.

"Elliot, didn't you tell me to go to your place tonight?" She changed the subject and said, "I thought you weren't coming."

"You coming over, me coming over, aren't they the same thing?" He took the bags and boxes out of the trunk and said, "I was walking past a street this afternoon and saw some nice things that you and kids might like, so I bought them all."

Avery was stunned for a moment, before finally realizing what he had just said. "Are you saying that you spent the entire afternoon buying all these for me and the kids?!"

"Yes." He continued to move the things he bought out of the trunk.

She grabbed onto his arm and said seriously, "Elliot Foster! Are you still drunk from last night?"

He leaned toward her.

Avery flushed and shoved his handsome-looking face away. "What are you doing? Our daughter is watching! Quit fooling around!"

"I'm giving you a chance to check whether you can smell any alcohol on me," he said seriously. He then turned to Layla, "Layla, come here. Daddy bought you gifts."

Layla immediately hopped toward him like a bunny as soon as she heard that there were gifts.

Avery noticed that Elliot was acting oddly and pulled him aside. "Is today some kind of special occasion or anniversary? Why are you buying me and the kids so many gifts?"

Suddenly, she was reminded of what Tammy told her earlier that day. "Is it that... you wronged me last night and you are now trying to compensate me with gifts?!"

"Avery, I did lie to you last night." Elliot faced Avery and said, "But I didn't wrong you in any way. I lied and said that I was out drinking with friends, but that wasn't the truth. I was drinking alone last night."

Avery was confused. "Why would you lie to me? Why were you drinking alone? You said that you were in a good mood last night and that was a lie as well. You weren’t happy at all last night."

"Yeah." He stared at her doe-like eyes and pulled her into his embrace. "I wasn't upset because of us. I was just reminded that I don't have any family that I can invite to the wedding and that made me a little depressed."

Avery hugged him back tightly. "It's okay, we can invite more friends."

"Yeah. I'm fine now." Elliot adjusted himself and let her go. "I bought gifts for you and the kids to make you happy and to give me more motivation to make more money."

"But you bought too much." Avery took his hand and walked toward Layla. "If you buy us this many things every time you come over, there wouldn't be enough space in my house forthem."
