His Eagle Eyes on Me

Chapter 218

It was dinner time at Starry River Villa.

"Avery, Wesley came by to see you this afternoon," Laura said with bright eyes. "He told me that he

was going to settle down here in Aryadelle..."

Avery figured out what her mother was thinking from the grin on her face.

"Mom, I know you're hoping I'll find someone to get married to soon, but please don't pull that face

while we are in public. Otherwise, people would think I'm desperate for marriage!" Avery pleaded. "I'm

still in my twenties. I'm still young! This is the time I should be focusing on my career. Once I'm

successful, men will be lining up to marry me."

The smile on Laura's face vanished.

"I'm not pestering you... I just really think that Wesley's a great man. He took care of you the whole time

you were abroad! Don't you see how well he treats you?"

"Am I supposed to marry anyone who's good to me? In that case, Professor Hough was good to me,

too!"

"Fine! Keep acting blind! Wesley really is a good man. You might never find someone like him again if

you miss out now." "Can't you have a little more faith in me? There will be

men who will be attracted to me in the future," Avery said as she comforted her mother. "Besides, did

you ask the children what they think? They don't want a stepfather."

Avery shot a meaningful look at her children.

Layla cleverly expressed her opinion and said, "I don't want a stepfather, but I'll make myself accept

anyone Mommy likes."

It was clear that her daughter did not understand what Avery was trying to signal to her.

Avery pinned her hopes on her son. 1

"Let's eat, Grandma," said Hayden.

"Alright, I won't say more," Laura said. "I'm just worried that your Mommy will regret this, so I'm just

reminding her. I won't waste my time worrying about it, since she has no such intentions."

Avery chuckled and said, "Mom, if you're so eager to play matchmaker, then find someone for Mike.

He's been hanging out at bars every day recently. I bet he's dying to find a better half."

Laura was left speechless.

At Tate Industries the next day, Wesley's visit took Avery by surprise.

"Aren't you resting at home from the jet lag?" Avery asked as she invited him to take a seat on the

couch.

"Do you have coffee here?" Wesley asked.

"I do, but you shouldn't have coffee now. Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep at night," Avery said,

then poured him a glass of water. "How about I take you on a tour of each department later?"

Wesley nodded, then said, "I've actually come to talk to you about something."

He then placed a photo in front of her.

Avery picked up the photo, and her eyes were filled with curiosity as she asked, "Who's this?"

"He's a patient. He's been bedridden for three years, but he is somewhat conscious. He is a little better

than someone who is in a vegetative state. His parents contacted Professor Hough half a year ago. He

took on the case but wasn't able to put together a treatment plan in time..." Wesley answered.

"I see... Since the professor gave his word, please send over his medical records for me to take a look

at," Avery said.

"Would it get in the way of your work? You just started your company after all," Wesley said hesitantly.

"Let's talk about this again once things settle down here."

Avery glanced at the photo, then said, "Send over his records first. It's a waste for such a handsome

face to be lying on a hospital bed for so long!"

"I'll send it to you later today," Wesley responded." Now, take me on a tour of your empire!"

Avery could not help but laugh.

"Don't tease me. I didn't make fun of you like this when I was at Elizabeth Hospital."

As Avery and Wesley left the office, they engaged in cheerful talk and laughter.

Very quickly, the news of Avery Tate's new boyfriend spread through the entire Tate Industries.
