His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2140

"Wilson, let's head home," Avery said.

"Aren't we going to buy chestnuts?” Wilson asked. "What happened?"

"Both Elliot and Hayden are at home. I'm worried that they will fight." Avery's heart sank. "Hayden is still mad at me, so he has to be mad at Elliot as well!"

"Those two didn't fight last night when you were inside the room! Hayden only got mad after you came out," Wilson said.

Avery's head started pounding. "I'm still worried."

"Let's hurry back, then."

In the mansion, the nanny served Elliot a bowl of soup, before she went up with Hayden's bowl. Setting the bowl before him, she told Hayden that Elliot was home.

Hayden immediately stepped out of his room with the bowl of soup in hand.

This was his and his mother's house, and Elliot, Avery's former husband, was an outsider. Hayden did not intend on hiding in his room.

The nanny was surprised to see Hayden out and about, but she was still relieved. She went into the living room, and when she remembered that Elliot was home as well, she gasped, wondering if the two would fight like they did the night before.

"Hayden, why don't we go out for a walk? You haven't come out the whole day..." The nanny made an attempt to lure Hayden away.

Hayden stared intently at Elliot, and Elliot's heart raced. "Go back to your chores! I'll talk to Hayden," he said after a while.

"You are right. You are better than me on that front." Elliot was willing to admit that he was wrong. "I found out that Dean had planned on using me to blackmail your mom into marrying his son, Sebastian. I can't just watch that happen. It would be worse than dying. Hayden, what would you do if you were me?"

Elliot asked for Hayden's view not only because he wished to learn about his son but also to get closer to him.

"I will make those who blackmail me pay! If I'm going to die, they won't get to live either!" Hayden said without hesitation.

Elliot studied his face endearingly. "I won't have to worry if someone would bully your mom or your siblings even if I'm gone. I'm glad that they have you to look out for them, Hayden."

Elliot's eyes were gentle and his tone was endearing.
