His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 50

Cold sweat dripped down Avery's back.

Instinctively, she slammed her laptop shut.

She would not have done that if she were working on her thesis.

In her earlier frenzy of wild thoughts, she started a new file and wrote down a plan.

It was a plan to get a divorce within the next three months.

Avery hoped to get a divorce from Elliot before she was seven months pregnant.

That was the only way she could successfully go through her last trimester and peacefully give birth to the twins.

If her plan failed and the divorce did not go through, then the only thing she could do was disappear.

That would be the worst-case scenario.

Avonsville was her home, and she wanted to continue to live and work there. She also hoped that her children could be born and grow up where she did.

Avery's overly cautious reaction revolted Elliot.

Did she think that he would be interested in her thesis?

Or perhaps she was not working on her thesis at all, and she was doing something else?

Avery saw Elliot's sullen expression and immediately shot up and walked over to the door.

"Did you not like the book I gave you?" she said gently as she squeezed past him out of the room. "You shouldn't look down on it. It's a really good book that highlights all kinds of ways to stay healthy. The author is my mentor's teacher. He's a really well-known professor, you know?"

She talked as she walked into the living room and picked up the book from the coffee table.

In the seriousness of her introduction, Elliot forgot to cut her off. 1

"You can take a look whenever you're bored. You can start at any chapter and it would still make sense," Avery added.

"Is it really that great? You're making me want to get one for myself, too," Mrs. Cooper chimed in.

"I'll go get one for you tomorrow, then," Avery said with a smile.

"Oh, that's alright. I'll just go get it myself," Mrs. Cooper responded. 1

"Don't mention it. It was not expensive at all. There was a sale at the bookstore so I got it for a dollar fifty."
