His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 896

Perhaps people do become more sentimental at night. Just as she was contemplating how she should reply to his message, his call came in.

Seeing that she didn't reply, Elliot figured that there was a fifty percent chance she might pick up and went ahead to call.

Avery's heart throbbed at his call; after struggling with the choice of either answering the call or leaving it, she picked up.

"Avery, Jun isn't as hateful as you think he is," Elliot said, hoping to keep her interested by leading with the matters concerning Jun. He knew that Avery felt like she owed Tammy and had taken an interest in Jun's wedding. "He just wants to give Tammy a push with the wedding.”

Avery immediately understood what he was trying to say. "But what if Tammy doesn’t realize that's what he is trying to do?"

"That means it's really over for them," Elliot's voice was both calm and careful, "If you are set on marrying another man, I am definitely not going to let that wedding happen."

Avery retorted furiously, "Do you think everyone is like you? Who do you think you are to stop me from marrying someone else? I didn't do a thing when you went to marry Chelsea!"

"I was about to talk to you about this." Elliot switched the topic to the major issue and softened his tone, "Avery, would you look down on me for having mental illnesses? I don't need you to answer that right away.

When I first decided to compromise with Charlie's offer, what I thought of was not how the world would see me, but whether or not you and the kids would look down on me, and whether the kids would be affected by others' opinions."

"Elliot Foster, do I seem that fragile to you? Do you really think that the kids and I would care about what the world thinks?" Avery interrupted him and said, "Stop lying to yourself. You are afraid of being looked down on by the others, not me or the kids! The fact that you gave up on us at the airport hurt me more than you having mental illnesses!"

The other side of the line went silent and after a moment, she continued, "I said it wrongly. The fact that you are mentally ill does not affect me. If your illness is so severe that you are completely out of control :a!:QJT= couldn’t tell right from wrong, then I wouldn't have fallen in love with you in the first place!"
