His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2099

"Avery has become so gentle lately. It's a bit hard for me to adjust to it," Ben said. "If only she was like this back then, you two wouldn't be fighting so much."

"I'd rather she act as she did before. At least that would mean that I'm still the same man I was." Elliot set the phone down.

"Elliot, what's happening to you now is just temporary. Just think of this as taking a break." Ben could understand why Elliot was having a hard time adjusting. "It's always darkest before dawn."

"Ben, are you really that optimistic?" Elliot looked at him and drawled, "Both you and Avery are just lying."

Ben felt uncomfortable under Elliot's stare. "Would you rather I sit here and discuss your funeral with you instead? Elliot, I wasn't lying when I said I believe in Avery. It's not to calm you down or because I'm in denial. If Avery fails, no one else will be capable of saving you."

"If she has to pay a high price to do so, I'd rather she doesn't try."

"Don't overthink this and just let her try," Ben pleaded. "Are you bored staying home all day? Do you want to go somewhere else? I can take you to wherever you want to go. Avery is going to be busy but I have time to keep you company."

Elliot shook his head. "I don't want to go anywhere."

"You still want to stay with Avery, huh?" Ben grinned. "Even if I want to take you out, Avery probably wouldn't let me. I dare say that she hasn't been this careful even with her kids."

Elliot remained quiet.

Dean did not like the color black because he thought that it was an ominous color. He felt that if he was dressed in black on his wedding day, it would take away the joy of the wedding itself.

"Angela, are you sure you want a black dress? Why didn't you say so before? The dress is already made now and we might not have enough time to change the color now." Dean was not willing to compromise. "How about this, let's just get married in this dress. If you like black clothing, I will have the designer design black clothes for you. As many as you want." "I am only getting married once in my life. If I can't even decide the color of my dress, I will feel as if I'm not treasured." She lowered her gaze sadly. "I've always liked black. You never asked me what color I like so I didn't bother mentioning it. Now that we are about to be married, I don't think I'm reaching for the stars here, right?"

Dean was slightly irritated that she was talking down to him from a moral high ground, but he decided to tolerate her since he still had something important that he needed Angela to do for him.

"If you want black, then you will get a black dress!" he promised, before turning to the designer. "Make sure that the dress is ready before the wedding!"
