His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2253

She could not help but think of Sebastian.

If Dean had obtained information on Ivy's whereabouts, Sebastian would know as well.

She remembered how she had refused Sebastian's invitation for a meal, and how upset he had been. Avery knew that he was upset, but she did not bother to explain herself.

She wanted to contact Sebastian because she was desperate to know more about Ivy, but she was not sure if Sebastian would talk to her.

Dean would never provide her with any information, so she had to try her luck with Sebastian. So, she sent him a message.

[I will buy you dinner the next time you come to Aryadelle.]

It was daytime in Bridgedale, and Sebastian sent her a reply shortly after receiving her message. [I was right beside my dad when you called him.]

No explanations were needed to understand the contempt he felt for her. He understood why she had contacted him.

As she had anticipated, another message from Sebastian followed. [You are so calculative, Avery. You are only willing to talk to me when you can use me, and when I am no longer of value to you, you ignore me and treat me as you would a stranger. Your hypocrisy is disgusting.]

Avery's cheeks flared as she read his message, and she did not know if Sebastian was right, but she did know that that was how things must have looked from his perspective.

After a few thoughtful moments, she replied. [I am thankful for your help, and I am willing to help you when you are in trouble. Your father is the reason I do not want to get too close to you. You know exactly why I'm keeping my distance, so why pretend like you are unaware of it? Your father is about to scam people out of their money by using a technology that doesn't even exist. Not only are you not stopping him, but you are sitting around waiting to benefit from it as well. I don't approve of such behavior.]

[If you don't approve of my behavior, why bother messaging me?]

[Your dad said he knows where Ivy is. Is that true? I feel like he might be lying to me.]
