His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1898

"Layla, your dad and I aren't enemies," she said awkwardly.

"So you mean you are still good friends?" Layla interpreted.

"Of course, not..." Avery was not sure how she would explain it to her daughter. "I can talk to him, but we will not sleep together. Do you understand?"

"Okay," Layla muttered regretfully. "Hey, Mommy. Remember to protect yourself. You don't want to sleep with him, but what if he wants to sleep with you? "

Avery fell silent at that.

Avery quietly slipped out of the master bedroom after the call with Layla to check on Elliot. Layla's words triggered the insecurity within her, and she kept feeling like Elliot was doing something behind her back.

To her bewilderment, he glanced over as soon as she headed out, as he saw right through her.

"You called Layla?" He noticed the way she was sneaking around but decided not to mention it.

"Yeah. Did you tell her?"

"Not yet. You did, so I don’t have to."

"I did talk to her about it, but you have to do it as well!" Avery scowled. "You are you, and I am myself. If you need me to fulfill your responsibility as a parent, then you might as well hand custody over to me!"

Rendered speechless, he instantly called Layla while Avery watched.

"Daddy, you don't need to explain. Mommy told me everything," Layla said as soon as she picked up. "Take care of Mommy. If she gets bullied or hurt out there, I won't help you get back together with her anymore."

"Yeah, I know. You and Robert are to stay home. If you want to take him to

Bridgedale to find Hayden, remember to take the bodyguard with you."

"You act differently with the kids

The driver will deliver my luggage so let's order food!"

Deciding that she should not fight with him, seeing as they were about to travel together, she said, "I'm not picky. Just order whatever."

"Alright. Go pack, then! Ignore that I'm here. " Elliot could sense that his presence unsettled her, but he did not want to leave.

After she returned to her room, he strolled toward the window and watched the rain fall.

The entire sky had gone pitch dark. The raindrops fell in fine lines, blurring the sight of the scenery in the distance.

Soon after, the driver arrived with his trunk and Avery had finished packing as well.

"The flight takes off at seven, so we need to be there at six. With this rain, there's definitely going to be traffic so we need to head out early." Avery checked the time and realized that it was already five in the afternoon.
