His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1140

By the time she woke up, in deep sorrow, it was already dusk and the sky looked like it was on fire.

She picked up her phone and took a look at the time, only to realize that it was already half-past five in the evening and Elliot was no longer in the room.

She took a deep breath and sent a message to Cole.

'Have you taken Adrian for the tests?'

The door to the bedroom was pushed open once she sent the message and Layla's face appeared before her.

"Mom, are you awake? Why have you been asleep for so long?" Layla immediately went into the room when she saw that her mother was awake. "I am here to tell you that dinner is ready."

Avery set her phone down and lifted the blanket to get out of bed and put on her shoes. "Layla, how are you getting used to Daddy's house? We still have a lot of our things back home, so if you are having a hard time getting used to this place, we can move back anytime you want."

"It's a bit hard to get used to it! Dad's house is so big, like a maze." Layla sighed. "But it's nice, and a bigger house means we can put more things in here. It would be better if Hayden likes this place too."

"It's going to be very difficult for your brother to accept this place." Avery walked towards the washroom. "Once your brother comes back, we will move back into our house." "Oh." Layla followed her into the washroom. "Mom, there's a parents' meeting tomorrow at school. Are you coming, or is Dad coming?"

Avery was taken by surprise for a moment. "Would you prefer me or your dad?"

"Of course I want you to come. You are so pretty!" Layla's lips curled into a smile before her expression suddenly turned into a scowl. "Dad really wants to come but I don't want him to."

"Do you want me to go simply because I look prettier than your dad? Layla, we shouldn't judge a book by its cover!" Avery felt more refreshed after washing her face and said, "Your dad is going to be really sad if he knows that you think he doesn't look good."

Avery had never considered Elliot to be a fragile man before, but the more she spent time with him, the more she realized how sensitive he truly was. Perhaps it was because he was growing older?

"I don't think that he doesn't look good; I just think he looks too stern might scare our teachers. Mom, can you come to the parents’ meeting, please?" Layla begged.

"How about we let your dad go this time? I've already been to a couple of your parents ' meetings, but your dad hasn't gotten to go to his kid's parents' meetings his entire life, " Avery consoled Layla and said, "Let's take pity on him!"

Layla burst out laughing. "Alright, let’s take pity on him!"

The smile on Elliot's face froze as he felt weak in his knees. Going to his child's parents' meeting was supposed to be something to be happy about, but Avery somehow managed to make it sound horrendous.

During dinner, Avery had only managed to take two bites of her food before she received Cole's message.

She took out her phone and saw the test results Cole sent her. She forwarded it to Wesley so that he could check if the results matched with Shea.

"Don't use your phone while eating," Elliot said, "Who are you messaging?"
