When His Eyes Opened (Elliott and Avery) novel Chapter 688

Chapter 688

When Avery glanced at her phone, her heart skipped a beat. Then, she answered the call.

“Avery!” Elliot’s roaring voice penetrated through the phone.

Avery was taken aback, then asked, “What’s wrong?”

“You’re alright?” It was as if he was surprised to hear her voice. “You’re alright, Avery!”

“I’m fine. Were you hoping something happened to me?” Avery teased. 

“Who told you I wasn’t alright?”

“Someone saw you at a restaurant and said you were in trouble.” Elliot’s voice returned to its usual calm. 

“It’s a good thing it wasn’t you.”

“Oh. If that’s the case, the woman must look a lot like me… Could she have been Nora?” Avery deliberately said this.

Elliot was not interested in this at all. “I don’t care who it was, as long as it wasn’t you.”

Avery responded.

“Where are you right now?” Elliot asked after two seconds of9e silence.

“I’m eating out with Tammy.”

“Did you bring the bodyguard?” he pestered.

“I did,” Avery said as she glanced at the bodyguard standing nearby.

“Go home once you’re done eating.”

“I’m going for a haircut later. I already made an appointment.” She was not going to change her schedule because of this.

 “I’ll be fine.”

“Send me the salon’s address,” Elliot said after a moment’s consideration.

Avery hung up the phone and sent him the address to the hair salon.

At the police station, Cole strode out of the building after giving his statement.
