Chapter 1328


    Elliot was about to spring up and grab Hayden when a group of men headed by Christopher walked


    into the restaurant.


    Elliot spotted Christopher the moment Christopher spotted him.


    It was the first time they had seen one another since the shootout, and they both still held a grudge


    against each other.


    Christopher''s eyes gleamed viciously when he saw Elliot, but because of Gary and Ruby, he knew that


    they still had to give the appearance of calm.


    Hayden immediately sat back down when he saw Christopher walk in.


    It was his first time seeing Christopher and he thought to himself, "So this is the assh* le that bullied


    Mom! If it weren''t for how smart Mom is, she would have suffered so much at the hands of this b*st*rd! I


    won''t give him the chance of hurting my mom again, so he has to die now!"


    "I thought that you were out with Uncle Nick? Why are you eating here? " Christopher asked Elliot as


    he nced over at Aaron.


    Aaron performed the role of Elliot''s bodyguard, but in truth, he was a spy for Gary, and Gary had been


    the one to station him by Elliot. Christopher did not think that the bodyguard would switch sides so


    quickly, but he also could not figure out what Elliot was doing here.


    Aaron flushed anxiously.


    "Nick isn''t free this morning, so we changed the time to this afternoon," Elliot said.


    "Oh! I see! Who is this?" asked Christopher as he sat down next to Avery’s bodyguard.


    The bodyguard immediately extended his hand toward Christopher. "Hello, Mr. Gould. I am Avery


    Tate''s bodyguard."


    Christopher''s expression instantly darkened. "Why are you here? Is Avery Tate here as well?!"


    He nced around and paused briefly when he saw Hayden''s face.


    Fearing that he would recognize Hayden, Elliot immediately said, "I asked Avery’s bodyguard out


    because I want him to send her back to Aryadelle. Ruby talked to mest night and said that she


    doesn''t want Avery to remain in Ylore any longer."


    "So you''ve finally started caring about Ruby''s feelings?" Christopher said sarcastically. "You should go


    to Uncle Nick if you can''t convince her! Isn''t her Uncle Nick''s woman, too? Naha!"


    Elliot lifted his ss ?f.


    "Elliot, I didn''t imagine that you guys are so open in private! Naha! That Avery chick surprised me, too!"


    Christopher began bbering when he talked about Avery," She is supposed to be this genius in the


    medical field and a famous female entrepreneur. Her titles sure sound great, so who knew she would


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    be such a sl*t in private? I don''t even know if you two are ying her, or if she is ying with the two of


    you."


    The ss fell to the ground with a loud,


    splintering crash, and Christopher''s attention was instantly drawn to him.


    Hayden swiftly pulled his hat lower onto his head and took his backpack to pay his bill at the counter.


    He was subtly telling Elliot not to think of overpowering him.
