His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 31

"It's the weekend tomorrow. Let's get the divorce settled on Monday!" Avery continued.

Faced with her fervent impatience, Elliot nonchalantly pulled out a cigarette and lit it. 2

Avery furrowed her brows. She could not figure out what he was thinking.

Could it be that he did not want to go through with the divorce?

Otherwise, he would not be so indifferent.

Avery took a deep breath and said, "Can you really handle being cheated on? I wouldn't want to see the person who had cheated on me for the rest of my life if I were you. You have to divorce me! You'd be an idiot not to!"

Elliot coolly exhaled a smoke ring as he followed her with his dark eyes, watching her performance. 3

"Have you met with Chelsea? That must have p*ssed you off, right? That's good because it was all my idea! I did it just to mess with you!"

Avery was adding fuel to the fire.

Mrs. Cooper was in a corner. Her heart was pounding as she listened in. 2

Why was Avery digging her own grave?

Was she having a mental breakdown because of the abortion? 2

If she continued aggravating him, Elliot might just send her to her death.

At that thought, Mrs. Cooper could no longer stand aside. She walked over and said, "Madam Avery doesn't mean any of this, Master Elliot... She must still be upset, so she's lashing out now... She's been sitting around at home ever since the wedding, so I can guarantee that she's never done anything dishonorable with Mr. Cole." 1

"Go and rest, Mrs. Cooper!" Avery said as her cheeks flushed from anxiety. "This is between him and me, so I'll deal with it myself. You don't have to worry about me. 1

"Stop trying to provoke Master Elliot, then!" Mrs. Cooper exclaimed. "Nothing good can come from it. Listen to me and apologize to him, Madam. He might just forgive you." 6

"I don't need his forgiveness," Avery replied. "I just want a divorce."

Elliot's sharp, hawk-like eyes were fixed on Avery's slender back.

Was she playing hard to get, or did she really want a divorce?

Judging from what he had seen and heard, it seemed

that the latter was more likely. 3

Now that her plan with Cole had been exposed, and the child had been aborted, they had no way of further exploiting him. So, she could not wait to divorce him, so that she might run back into Cole's arms. 1

"Forget it!" Elliot snapped coldly as he tap his cigarette on the ashtray on the table. "Unless I'm dead, you can forget about getting a divorce."
