It was the first time they had seen one another since the shootout, and they both still held a grudge against each other.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChristopher'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! | 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 glanced 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! | 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. | am Avery Tate's bodyguard." Christopher's expression instantly darkened. "Why are you here? Is Avery Tate here as well?!" He glanced around and paused briefly when he saw Hayden's face.

"You should go to Uncle Nick if you can't convince her! Isn't her Uncle Nick's woman, too? Naha!" Elliot lifted his glass ?f.
"Elliot, | didn't imagine that you guys are so open in private! Naha! That Avery chick surprised me, too!" Christopher began blabbering 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 be such a sl*t in private? | don't even know if you two are playing her, or if she is playing with the two of you." Hayden clenched his fists at Christopher's words. He stood up abruptly and accidentally pushed the glass of water off the table.
The glass 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.
Christopher scowled and his eyes followed Hayden until Hayden reached the counter." | can't stand seeing people acting so smugly in front of me! | would have given him a good beating if he was any older. How dare he act so rudely in front of me?!" Christopher said arrogantly. He seemed to be talking about Hayden, but in truth, those words were meant for Elliot.
He was subtly telling Elliot not to think of overpowering him.
Avery's bodyguard watched Hayden. When Hayden exited the restaurant, the bodyguard got up immediately and said, "I should go now. You guys carry on!"
