His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2283

Elliot pulled him back. "I was mocking you just now. I didn't say I wanted to go up the hill."

His bodyguard sat down looking embarrassed. "I thought that you really wanted to go with them."

"I do, but the church doesn't welcome male visitors, so even if I went up the hill, I can't follow Avery. I would rather wait here," Elliot said calmly. "Even if I could enter the church, if Avery saw me there, she would surely be angry. I finally get to get out of the house; I don't want to make her mad."

The bodyguard said, "Mr. Foster, why are you afraid of her? She's only a woman—"

"Do you not want to work anymore?" Elliot gave his bodyguard a sharp look. "You have been working for me for a long time."

"Mr. Foster, I… I want to work! I was wrong! You have to listen to Miss Tate! She is doing this all for your own good!" The bodyguard immediately repented.

"Is she Miss Tate?" Elliot used a gentle yet stern look.

"M-Mrs. Foster!" The bodyguard corrected himself.

"In the future, not only do you have to obey what I say but you also have to obey her."

"Yes, Mr. Foster! I'll remember! If she doesn't want you to go out, but you want to go out. Should I listen to her or you?" The bodyguard posed a challenging question.

Elliot was stumped.

After some hesitation, he said with difficulty, "You should listen to her! Everything is done with her happiness in mind. Do you understand?"

"Yes! You have to remember what you say, too, don't blame me if I help her later on…" The bodyguard warned him beforehand.

Elliot picked up his cup and drank some water. He did not reply. He had already said what he said, so how could he retract it?

"Our church is funded by charitable organizations. Their donations keep the church running. Therefore, we do not have an entrance fee. The candles are free, too. If you want to give a donation, I have to ask our Abbess." The staff said to the visitors, "The girls we adopted eat and stay together with us. They are funded by charitable organizations too. So far, I don't think they need help from society. If you really want to help these girls, you can donate goods too."

Avery could not help but ask, "You adopt girls too?"

The staff looked at Avery and replied, "Yes. These girls are left at our church doors, and most of them have congenital diseases. There are a few healthy children too."

Avery could not help but ask, "How many children have you adopted? If you need supplies, I can donate."

"We have about thirty-two girls in our church so far."

"I never thought that the Hightide Church would have done such a touching act of kindness. I have never seen it on the news before," said Avery. "Could you take me to see these girls? I want to try my best to see if I can help them."
