His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 240

"Let's have lunch together," Elliot said, offering an invitation to Avery.

Avery met his eyes and asked, "Have you been waiting out here this entire time?"

Elliot had no comment.

If he were not waiting for her, he would have left a long time ago.

Avery looked up at the sun.

It was early fall, so it was not as hot out, but the afternoon sun was still rather blazing.

"Where's Shea?" she asked.

Elliot shot a look over to the parking lot, then said," She's in the car."

"I see... You two go ahead! My mom cooked, so we're going home for lunch," Avery said, declining his offer without hesitation.

She could not figure out what Elliot was thinking by asking her to eat at the same table as Shea.

Did he not feel shame?

Even if he wanted to two-time... No, three-time, there was no need for him to be this obvious about it!

"I made a reservation at that restaurant over there,"

Elliot said as if he was unfazed by Avery's rejection. "I need to send Shea to school later, and you need to send Hayden there, too. Let's have lunch, then send them to school."

Avery pursed her lips.

After a moment's consideration, she refused once again.

"We're going home for lunch. I'll take the kids to school after a nap.'

Realizing that being civil with her would not work, Elliot decided to go with a more aggressive tactic.

"Why are you so afraid of having lunch with me? Can't we have a meal together after the divorce? Or are you avoiding me because you're still in love with me?"

Avery was speechless from rage.

She tried her best to remain calm, then held Hayden's hand and walked in the direction of the restaurant.

Elliot went to the car to get Shea. 2

Once the four of them were seated, they ordered their food.

The awkward silence made the atmosphere slightly strange.

Avery ordered a couple of dishes, then handed the menu over to Elliot. 1
