His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1955

On the way back, Mike rubbed his palms together. After a moment of hesitation, he said to Avery, "I haven't told Layla yet, but she has already guessed that something has happened to you. I wanted her to come and pick you up together with me, but she refused."

Avery's lips quivered, but she could not make a sound.

Even if they were to hide this from the children, one day, they would surely hear this from someone else or see it on the

news.

At Elliot's mansion, Mrs. Cooper had made a feast. She was waiting by the entrance.

Layla and Robert were waiting in the living room. They did not play with their toys or eat anything.

Robert wanted to head to the courtyard, but Layla held his hand, not letting him go. She was feeling terrible and wanted someone to stay with her.

For the past few days, she had been secretly calling Avery and Elliot but neither of them had answered their phones.

She had asked Mike why she could not get through to them. Mike had been evasive and avoided talking about it.

She was not a three-year-old anymore, nor an idiot. If she could not contact her parents for such a long time, it was surely because something had happened to them.

However, Mike had told her the day before that Avery was returning. Despite being happy, she had asked Mike whether Elliot was coming home as well. Mike had told her that he only knew that Avery was coining home and he knew nothing about Elliot. He did not tell her that Elliot would not be returning.

He could not tell her that Elliot would not be returning, nor could he tell her the reason why. He was afraid that she would not be able to accept the truth.

A black sedan appeared by the entrance, and the bodyguard opened the gates.
