His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 117

"I have no idea," Elliot said. "Don't worry about them."

"Let's get a bigger one, then!" Avery said. "Ten inches, maybe?"

Elliot turned to the shop assistant and said, "Ten inches."

"Sure thing. Are you guys on a date? You look cute together," said the shop assistant with a smile. 1

A wave of embarrassment washed over Avery's face, turning her porcelain skin ruby red. 1

On the other hand, Elliot glanced at the desserts on display and asked, "Do you want to get anything else to bring home?"

"It's fine..." Avery answered.

"Go ahead and get something for your mother."

Avery noticed the rosy tint in Elliot's cheeks, chuckled to herself, then said, "Sure! I'll get something."

They left the bakery an hour later. 1

Elliot was holding the cake with an uneasy expression on his face.

There were not many people out on the streets.

The weather was cold, but the warmth that surrounded him helped him fight the chill. 1

When they arrived at the restaurant, all the other guests were waiting for them in the private room.

Upon Avery and Elliot's arrival, the noisy atmosphere instantly turned silent.

The cake he was holding also clashed with his image.

Everyone knew that he never ate dessert.

Ben cleared his throat and approached the couple.

"Did you guys go and get a cake? I brought one, too, but it's not as big as this one."

Avery felt uncomfortable under the crowd's gaze and explained, "He said he felt like eating cake, so we went and got one."

Ben coughed and asked, "Elliot said he wanted to eat cake?"

"Yes," Avery said. "Is everyone here? I'll unbox the cake, then."
