His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1627

"I'm worried that Hayden would find me annoying," Adrian said shyly.

"How could he possibly find you annoying? He doesn’t like taking naps," said Avery, consoling Adrian, before turning back to Lilith. "Hayden is in Robert’s room. Take Adrian there."

Once they left, Avery was about to walk toward Ben, but he noticed her from afar and approached her.

His head was spinning but he knew that Avery would find the opportunity to talk to him, so he waited in the hall. Worried that Elliot would find out that he was talking to Avery, he asked, "Where's Elliot?"

"He is drinking tea with the guests," she said. "What did Ruby say in her messages?

Can you show them to me?"

Ben knew she would ask to see it, so he took his phone out to show her. He had deleted the photo of Ruby's child and only showed Avery what Ruby said about her child getting sick and that she wanted Elliot to name her daughter.

"Elliot doesn't want to name the kid, so the name I sent was my idea," Ben explained. " Just think of the name as me taking pity on the kid."

Ben had named her Ivy Foster and added, "I named her Ivy because I want her to grow as fast and strong as the plant itself."

"You take pity on her." Avery handed the phone back to him and mumbled, "But what about me?"

Avery strode into the washroom. She did not care about Ben's attitude and was only concerned that he would help Ruby and her child in their attempts to reach out to Elliot.

She replayed every word Ben had said in her mind repeatedly and finally realized that she could not control anyone other than Elliot.

In the hall, Ben reached up to rub his face after Avery left. He had drunk too much before noon and could not quite control his emotions that were under the influence of alcohol. He felt dazed and could barely remember what he had said to Avery. All he remembered was the disappointed look in Avery's eyes when she left.

He wanted to confess everything to Elliot but was worried that he might enrage Elliot. In the end, he decided to go for a nap and apologize to Avery after that.

Avery did not know how long she remained in the washroom, but when she finally came out, she ran into Elliot, who was anxiously looking around for her.
