His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1782

Avery called Mike and gave him that reminder because she knew that Elliot would try and gain custody of Ivy if he caught wind of what was happening.

She had not seen Robert for three years, and she did not even know if she would be able to meet him when she returns to Aryadelle.

Letting him have custody of Ivy was the last thing she wanted because she feared it might be difficult for her to see Ivy again in the future.

Ivy might well be dead, but it was better to have a little hope than to immediately assume that the child was dead.

Mike knew what she was thinking.

The reason she and Elliot had a divorce was because of Ivy.

If she had known since then that Ivy was their child, it might not have set off the domino effect that led to the collapse of everything. It no longer mattered that she found out the truth about Ivy being her child because her relationship with Elliot had long since broken down.

After the call ended, Mike went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water.

He then remembered that Avery wanted a photo of Ivy and recalled having saved Ivy’s photos on his phone before. However, he did not remember going to the trouble of deleting them, which meant that they might still be somewhere in his gallery.

Once he came out of the bathroom, he searched his cell phone for Ivy's photo and sent it to Avery before calling Chad to get some information about Ivy's situation.

He never asked about Ivy from Chad when Elliot previously tried to find her, and Chad did not take the initiative to tell him either.

Moments after making the call, Chad finally answered the phone.

"I'm very busy today..." Mike's call happened to come at a time when people at Aryadelle were about to clock in for work. It was the busiest time of the day for Chad.

It was always best not to tell Chad anything that should be kept secret from Elliot. After all, the two of them worked together every day, and if Chad could inadvertently tell Elliot about it when sober, there was an even greater chance that Chad would let the cat out of the bag if the two of them drank together.

"Are you joking? What does this have to do with you? I'm appalled that you have the nerve to call that important!" Chad lashed out as he went out of the bathroom. "You want an answer? I'll give you an answer. I have no idea because I didn’t go to Ylore with them and I didn't ask them either."

"Them?"

"Ben went with Elliot. If you really want to know the whereabouts of that child, you can always ask him," Chad said and was about to hang up.

"Hmph! I'm not going to ask Ben! I'll ask Lilith to ask him."

"Well, aren't you a smarty pants?" Chad praised. "I don't think he found Ivy though. I haven’t heard about it at all, and if there really was any news, I wouldn't have known nothing about it."
