His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 848

"Did you meet her?" Elliot picked up a cigarette and held it between his fingers.

"I did." Ben saw that Elliot did not lose his temper, so the rage inside of him calmed down quite a bit.

He even lit his cigarette for him when he saw that he didn't have a lighter.

"She was the one who called me." Ben took a seat next to Elliot, picked up a cigarette from the coffee table, and lit it. "Does she have something on you?"

Elliot lowered his gaze slightly and then said bitterly, "Not her."

"Oh. The Tierneys have something on you?

I was thinking, the Chelsea I know wouldn't have the guts to show up in public with the way she looks right now. Even if she really wanted to marry you, she wouldn't want a big wedding."

Elliot turned to Ben and asked, "What does she look like now?"

"It’s hard to describe. I panic every time I think about her face," Ben said through gritted teeth as he snapped his cigarette in half. "All of the love and hate in the past have paled. I can’t tell what she's feeling right now. It's scary, but I also sympathize with her."

Elliot ashed his cigarette in the ashtray and then said hoarsely, "I'll go see her tomorrow."

"She might reconsider once you see her tomorrow." Ben leaned back on the sofa and let out a heavy sigh.

I can marry her no matter what she looks like." Elliot took a puff of his cigarette and exhaled a ring of smoke. "I’ve already hurt Avery and the kids. I don't have another choice."

"Did you already decide before the new year?" Ben interrogated as he gazed at Elliot's profile. "Why did you go to Bridgedale, then? You spent Valentine's Day with her and even took family portraits. Were you out of your mind?!"

"That's right. I was out of my mind," Elliot answered honestly. "Even in my dreams, I want to be with her. When she called me over there, all of my reason went out the window."

"You knew that would hurt her even more. Why couldn't you have some self-control? How did you expect her and the kids to feel? You didn't tell her you were being threatened, did you? I bet you didn't!" Ben knew him far too well.

Elliot never revealed his pain to anybody.

The closer he was to someone, the more he would hide it.

"Tell her ;h+?YKU> let her worry?" Elliot said word after word, "It's my own problem. I'll deal with it myself."
