His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1642

Elliot was impressed by his imagination." What's in that brain of yours? Does Ben seem that desperate to you?"

Chad scratched his head. "I've never met Ruby before, but my instinct tells me that she's a formidable enemy. She managed to find a way to create a child in secret after getting married to you. After that, she killed her own father. That's not what ordinary people do, so she's definitely someone who will do anything to get what she wants '

"Are you concerned that she will bribe Ben into going against me?"

"Not to go against you but to seduce you," Chad said. "She has never been discreet about wanting you for herself."

Elliot took a sip of coffee. "Ben won't betray me."

"True. I'm worrying over nothing. I just keep getting worried, probably because Ruby has your child right now. If only we can get custody of that child. I know it's difficult for you, though. You definitely don't want that kid."

Before today, Elliot had thought and believed whole-heartedly that he would not want the child, but after receiving the video call from Ruby and seeing the child, his determination began to waver.

"If Ruby fails to take care of the child, I might just take her away," he confessed.

Chad readjusted his spectacles. He thought he had heard Elliot wrong. "Mr. Foster, if you take the child away from Ruby, who's going to raise her?" "I can hand her over to a nanny," Elliot said. "I certainly can't take care of her." "To be fair, Mr. Foster, Avery has been really understanding this time. I can't find fault with her," said Chad. "Don’t break her heart. If you really want to take that child, I recommend that you keep her without Avery's knowledge."

Elliot did not know how to respond. What he said was a mere possibility, and he would not act unless Ruby treated Ivy poorly.

"Haha, what a jerk!" Mike picked up the wine bottle to fill his own glass. "I have just promised Avery that I will be friendly with him because she said that things between her and that jerk have been great. She said something about moving forward and letting bygones be bygones..."

Chad did not attempt to defend Elliot.

"On the surface, he lied to Avery but in private, he told you that he wants to take that illegitimate child back. He only dares to tell you what he really thinks, but does he have the guts to say that to Avery?!" Mike felt angry about what Avery had to face.

"Mike, maybe people who are parents see things differently." Chad was not trying to defend Elliot mindlessly, but he actually empathized with the situation. "No matter how naughty I was as a kid and how mad my parents were at me, they would always forgive me in the end. The bond between parents and their children is inseverable."
