His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2008

Avery saw the way Angela's look darkened and how her eyes glittered viciously as though she was going to chase Avery out any second now.

"Ms. Hills, I'm only asking because I went to see Bobby yesterday," Avery blurted out." He hated my guts from the moment he saw me and asked me to leave after a brief exchange."

"Humans tend to experience drastic changes in personality after a traumatic experience like that. I heard from his father that Bobby used to be more mature than Sebastian. It's a shame that he has turned out like this," Angela said. "I did consider treating him myself, but I'm afraid that I'm not capable of it."

Avery gave her a confused look.

"My hands... They started shaking uncontrollably two years ago... It started as a shiver from time to time and didn't cause much damage. But maybe I've exhausted myself lately so the shaking has gotten worse. You are still young and probably won't understand what it's like for older people like us to wake up one day to find out yet another part of our bodies has issues." Angela lifted her arm and glanced at it.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that something happened to your hands," Avery said ruefully. "I am here only to visit you. As for Bobby, I've already agreed to treat him and I won't go back on my own words."

"You are here to visit me? More like to confront me, right?" Angela's eyebrows shot up. "Dean came home yesterday asking me if I had slapped you... You sure hold a grudge! If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten all about it."

"Ms. Hills, if I hold a grudge against you over a slap to the face, I would have sought revenge on you long ago, why should I wait until now?" Avery drawled calmly." Professor Hough had nothing but great things to say whenever he used to talk about you, so naturally, I won't hold such a small grudge against you."

Angela's expression darkened further at the mention of 'Professor Hough'. "Stop mentioning his name over and over again in front of me!"

"Professor Hough might be dead, but he still lives in my heart.”

"He is nothing but a playboy! You respect him so much simply because you have no idea what he's really like." Angela glanced at the diamond ring on her right ring finger. "He accepted my confession of love for him in the past

Seeing how flushed and enraged Angela was, Avery stood from the couch and stormed off.

Once Avery was gone, Dean came downstairs.

"Angela, what made you so angry this morning, hm?"

Angela stood from the couch and said in a sweet voice, "Who else has the courage to be so rude to me but Avery Tate? We should have just killed her back in the basement. Who would have thought that she was lucky enough to get out of there?"

Dean approached Angela and wrapped his arm around her waist. "She only survived because she is lucky enough to have such a brilliant son. I respect her for that." "Hayden Tate is brilliant, indeed, but he's so mysterious that I don't even know what he looks like."
