His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1354

"Oh, are you heartbroken?" Nick smiled thuggishly. "What is a light beating to a man like Elliot? He would not have minded being stabbed or shot."

Avery furrowed her brows. "Nick, Elliot is not like the rest of you men. When he was in Aryadelle—"

Nick interrupted her. "We're in Ylore. Don't bring up the past, including his affairs in Aryadelle. That is the past."

Avery's scrunched her brows. "He will return to Aryadelle. He said that he will return once he settles things here."

"When did he tell you that?"

"A few days ago."

"He told you that before Christopher died,

right?" Nick sneered. "The night Christopher died, he promised Gary that he would never leave Ylore."

Avery instantly paled. She looked lost.

"You can't bear it, can you?" Nick was not trying to upset her. It was something she was bound to find out— sooner or later.

Her finding out about it now was better than her finding out about it from Elliot. She had been completely caught off guard.

"There will be many more things that you will find hard to bear. Do you want to hear them?" Nick passed her the tissue box. "If you want to cry, do it now. Don't cry once you get out of the car, you'll look bad."

Right on cue, tears trickled down Avery's face.

"What other things are there that I would find hard to bear? Tell me." She wiped away her tears with a tissue and looked at him.

Nick's heart softened. He no longer wanted to tell her anything anymore. What if she started sobbing after learning the hard truth?

"Hey! You don’t have to be this sad," said Nick after her. "If Gary were to die, the promise between them would no longer be valid. But killing Gary won't be that simple!"

Avery took a deep breath and got out of the car.

It was raining heavily. She opened her umbrella and walked into the crowd. That way, she could see Elliot easily, but the Goulds would not be able to spot her.

She stood still like someone had pressed the pause button. She could not breathe, think, or even move.

Elliot was going to have a child with Ruby and settle down in Ylore- forever. It was the situation she had been fearing the most.

If she was in Aryadelle, she could still think up a solution, but she was in Gary's territory. She could not do anything.

She even thought about how today would be the last time she saw Elliot. They might not be able to keep in touch with each other anymore after today.
