His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1427

"I headed out as soon as you called me." Ruby readjusted herself and stepped into the room with the thermal lunch box. "Dad, I've come to see you."

Gary hummed in response. He looked awkward. He wondered if she had heard anything he had said.

"Didn't you say that you are coming with Elliot? Why isn't he here?" Gary was slightly upset when he saw that she had come alone.

"He had a bit too much to drink last night, and he came down with a fever. He wanted to visit you, but I didn't want you to catch his fever, so I told him to stay at home and rest," Ruby explained as she opened the lunchbox. "I prepared your favorite mushroom soup today. Let me pour it into a bowl for you."

"I ate too much for breakfast, so I can't really stomach the soup right now," Gary said.

Disappointment filled Ruby's face as she closed the lid. Seeing that she was disappointed, he immediately said, "Let me drink just a bit, then!"

Ruby’s heart began to race, and color filled her cheeks. Her fingers on the lid trembled.

The nanny tried to take the lunchbox to pour Paul a bowl as well.

"NO! Ruby shoved the nanny's hand away." This is Dad's lunchbox. It's not for Paul. How is Dad supposed to drink if you give it to Paul? I brought exactly one bowl and one spoon!"

Paul felt incredibly awkward and so did the nanny. "Miss, it's fine if Paul has some. We can just—" "No! He is not getting any! I brought this for Dad!" Ruby tried her best to steady her emotions. "I brought this specifically for my dad, so he's the only one who gets to have it."

Seeing that she was getting frustrated, Paul immediately interfered and said, "I won't have any, Ruby. Don't get angry.”

"If you wanted soup, why didn't you say so? I could have brought two lunchboxes."

"Yeah, it's fine. I'm not hungry. It's just that when Father said he was not having any, you seemed a little..." Paul did not continue.

"Paul, just look at you! All Ruby did was throw a little tantrum, and you are trembling with fear! You should learn from Elliot >d!
