His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1786

Nick became friends with Avery through Elliot, so it was only natural for Nick not to prioritize what Avery told him.

If he listened to Avery rather than telling Elliot about her visit to Ylore, someone else would eventually tell Elliot about it.

Nick did not want Elliot to know about it from anyone else!

"You went to Bridgedale?" Elliot carried Robert downstairs.

Mrs. Cooper immediately took Robert when she heard Elliot's voice.

Elliot went upstairs again with his cell phone.

"Do you think I'd have the energy to go to Bridgedale? I just came back from a business trip, and Avery came before I even managed to get a day of rest!" Nick laughed. "I honestly thought I was dreaming when I woke up this morning and saw her at my house!”

Nick deliberately exaggerated how shocked he was at the incident but did not mention a single detail of Avery's purpose for coming to him.

Elliot could sense that it was a bit strange, so he lowered his ego and asked in a deep voice, "Why did she come looking for you?"

"You might not believe me if I say it, but... she came to me to ask about Ivy." Nick narrowed his foxlike eyes and asked, "Did you continue to look for Ivy after you returned to the country? Were you able to find any clues?"

"She went to you to ask about Ivy?" Elliot asked, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down in his throat. He began to feel even weirded out and prodded further, "What for?

"You haven't answered my question yet. Answer mine and I'll answer yours." Nick was in no rush.

"I haven't found Ivy." After hesitating for a few seconds, Elliot asked again, "What exactly does Avery plan on doing?"

"When we were talking about Ivy this morning, she couldn't help herself from crying," Nick recounted that unusual moment from earlier. "She seemed extremely sad, more so than you were even though you're Ivy's biological father."

Elliot frowned. "Are you telling the truth?"

It was outrageous to think that Avery would cry for Ivy!

"Why would I lie to you about that? I asked her why, and she said that Ivy and Layla look so alike that she suspects Ivy to be her daughter. She wants to find Ivy and do a maternity test," Nick explained.

"But Ivy can't be found," Elliot strode into the master bedroom. "Why would she suspect that right now? Why didn't she suspect it in the past?"

"I don't know, but maybe Ivy really did haunt her dreams. I tried putting myself in her shoes and realized that it's quite horrifying to have the same nightmare every day."
