His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 924

"Avery, what are you doing?" Elliot's voice was hoarse and cold.

Avery could hear that Elliot had just gotten up because his tone was rather emotional.

"I'm going to Bridgedale to tend to something.” Avery went past security and headed inside. "It's early. Who told you I'm going abroad?"

Elliot did not answer her question, but asked, "It’s almost the children's birthday. Do you have to go to Bridgedale now? Is there something urgent?"

If it was as usual, Avery might have said that he was being nosy. However, at that moment, she was strangely calm. She did not want to fight with him over such a small thing.

Elliot was asking her all these questions out of concern.

"It's nothing urgent," Avery said calmly," Elliot, these are my private affairs. I don’t need to tell you. I will be back before the children’s birthday."

Elliot rubbed the middle of his brow. He calmed down. "As long as you're fine."

"Hmm, go back to bed. I'm about to board." Avery lowered her gaze. She thought about how long has she not spoken to him properly in that way. Their go-to method was always using the harshest words on each other.

"Okay."

After the call, he flipped the covers and got off the bed. He strode into the washroom. He turned on the tap and splashed cold water on his face. He looked at himself in

the mirror in a daze.

The water droplets flowed down his face, drip by drip!

Turns out, that when one cares for another person, they cannot hide it. When he called her just now, he never considered that they were still not on speaking terms. He also did not consider whether she would pick up his call or not. Neither did he think about what would happen to his dignity if she did not pick up his call.
