His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2142

The smile on Avery's face instantly froze.

"I like it that you are dominating," he added. "Back then, I used to consider protecting you and the kids as my responsibility, but now that I can't and need you to protect me instead... It's a hard pill to swallow, so I was quite upset for a while.”

"And now you are okay?" Avery could sense that he was more relaxed from his tone.

"Hayden taught me a lesson today." He shrugged. "I feel like maybe I've really aged.

"Don't think like that. Everyone ages, and like an old machine, anyone would experience difficulties." She served a piece of steak onto his plate. "Eat well and drink well. There's always hope." "You went to meet with those experts today, right? Do you think you can rely on them?" Elliot couldn't help but feel hesitant about the people Mike had gathered.

Avery bit down on a piece of vegetable and chewed slowly. "I don't know them enough to say anything just yet, but Peter is famous. I didn't think he would come to our aid."

"Maybe he is interested in the idea of bringing the dead back to life!"

"Yeah. Like me, he is having a hard time believing that this is real. It's just too unbelievable for the dead to come back to live," Avery said. "Maybe our mindsets are just limited and cannot process things that are out of what we already know. What about you? You went to Tate Industries today, right? Did you meet with Natalie?"

"I did." His expression was relaxed. "Avery, Tate Industries is yours. Forever. I won't take it away from you."

"I know. I've doubted you once before, but I decided to trust my gut in the end."

"When you have time, we are transferring the company ownership back to you," he said. "Let's do it tomorrow!"

"That soon?" She glanced at him. "I don't think that's necessary. It can still be under your name. You wrote your will, right? Just give Tate Industries to Layla."
