"I have no plans to return to Aryadelle for the time being." Avery took a piece of mutton and put it in the Hayden bowl.
Tammy: "Oh… During the winter vacation, let Layla come to Bridgedale to find you."
Tammy understood her reluctance to return to Aryadelle.
Avery: "I'm afraid Elliot won't let me."
When Avery mentioned Elliot's name, she was a little tongue-tied. Probably because the relationship with him is so bad now that every time she thinks of him, she wonders if they ever really loved him. But she seldom thinks of him now.
It's not like she quarreled and broke up with him before, when she thought of him, her heart felt a lot of pain. Now she didn't feel too sad, except that she rarely thinked of him.
As long as Hayden was still by her side, as long as Avery could see Layla and Robert occasionally, she would feel satisfied.
This was all she could get.
"Mom, I'll pick Layla up when she is on her winter vacation." Hayden said.
Elliot didn't let Avery get close to Layla, could it be possible to keep Hayden from getting close?
Avery has scruples in her heart.
She didn't want Hayden to go back to Aryadelle.
What if Elliot used despicable means to rob Hayden?
"I'll ask your Uncle Eric to pick up Layla when the time comes. You stay by your mother's side and don't go anywhere." Avery urged.
"Yeah." Hayden replied obediently.
Aryadelle.
This weekend, Elliot was going to school as Layla's teacher called him last night to talk to him about Layla's studies.
The teacher told him not to tell Layla about it.
Because Layla is a girl with a very strong self-esteem.
Elliot waited for Layla to go to the training class before going out.
The teacher didn't tell him how Layla's study was on the phone last night. In the usual quizzes, Layla didn't tell him about the test results.
So the teacher had a bad feeling in his heart. If Layla's grades are good, the teacher will come to him alone to talk about Layla's study problems.
Arriving at the school, Elliot saw at a glance the head teacher who was waiting at the school gate.
There was hardly anyone in the school this weekend.
Elliot stopped the car, got out of the car, and walked towards the head teacher.
"Mr. Foster, looking for you today won't affect your rest, right?" The head teacher is a middle-aged woman in her forties. She said with kind eyes and straight to the point, "I came to you, mainly because of Layla's academic performance, which has fallen too badly. If she doesn't adjust it again, I'm afraid it will affect her next final exam."
Elliot guessed right.
"How far has my daughter's grades slipped?" Elliot narrowed his eyes coldly and asked in a serious voice.
"This time, she scored 55 points in the English language test, but she didn't pass the pass mark. Her composition was a strong point before, but this time the composition is not only off-topic, but also…"
"And what?" Elliot heard '55 points' At this time, he was in a terrible mood.
In the past, Layla's language was generally above 90 points, and the total score of 100 points would not be lower than 85 points.
"The subject of the essay was to write about 'The person who has influenced me the most and what I have learned from him/her' and Layla wrote about you." The teacher said embarrassedly, "She wrote she hated you and you broke her home. You learned how to be a bad*ss."
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1752
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1752
The head teacher was her English teacher in the class.
After seeing Layla's composition, she didn't dare to give points at all.
If this was awarded points, wouldn't it slap Elliot in the face?
Therefore, Layla failed to pass the language this time.
"Show me her test paper." Elliot's blood pressure had soared, but he still wanted to see his daughter's original composition.
"Come with me." The head teacher took Elliot to the teacher's building. "Layla didn't do well in every subject this time."
Elliot: "Show me all her exam papers."
The head teacher: "Good."
Arriving at the classroom office, the head teacher took out Layla's exam paper and handed it to Elliot.
"The questions on the test paper are basically taught in class. Even if the later big questions are a little more difficult, there is no reason to have so much time." The head teacher took the mathematics test paper and showed it to Elliot, "There are some simple questions, she's also wrong."
"The most outrageous thing is foreign language. Before, her foreign language was basically full marks because she grew up in Bridgedale, she has a good foundation. But this time, her foreign language just passed." When the head teacher said this, Elliot picked up Layla's foreign language test paper and took a look.
The above topics are basically not empty. Although she wrote it all, at least half and it was wrong.
"She did it on purpose." Elliot read the test paper and came to a conclusion, "I divorced her mother, and her mother took her brother to live abroad, so she was dissatisfied with me. She deliberately scored low on me."
The head teacher nodded: "Me and other subject teachers also think the same. Now that the cause has been determined, we must solve the problem in a targeted manner. Otherwise, she will take the exam with such a mentality in the future, which will definitely not work."
Elliot didn't know what to do. There was no way he could guarantee that he could convince Layla to take every exam seriously in the future.
Layla has a strong self-esteem and a stubborn temper. She became stubborn and did not lose to Avery at all.
Layla was forcing him to compromise, asking her to go to Bridgedale to find Avery, or simply asking her to return to Avery.
Elliot couldn't agree with either.
Returning home from school, Elliot stood at the door to change his shoes.
Robert took Lego-made car and ran in front of him.
"Dad, look! Car!" Robert's Lego-made car is quite cool.
"Son, you are awesome." Elliot took the car that his son put together, and boasted, "You like cars, Dad will buy you a lot of cars in the future."
Robert listened to his father's words, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face. Because Robert has always lived by his side, Robert loves him.
Only every time Elliot sees Robert, Elliot could feel that he is needed and feel a touch of warmth.
At noon, Layla finished today's training session and was sent back by the driver.
Mrs. Cooper brought the lunch to the table, and then went to feed Robert.
In the dining room, only Elliot and Layla were left.
Layla didn't like to eat alone with Elliot. Every time she ate alone with him, she would quickly finish eating and put down the dishes.
She would rather eat fruit snacks when she is hungry than eat her favorite dishes on the table.
This time was no exception. She hurriedly put the rice in the bowl into her mouth, then put down the tableware and prepared to leave.
"Layla, come with me." Elliot also put down the tableware.
The rice in Elliot's bowl barely moved.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1753
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1753
After Elliot finished speaking, he left the dining room first.
Layla's heart began to beat when she saw Elliot grim face.
Elliot"s sudden seriousness made her a little uncomfortable.
Mrs. Cooper saw that Layla was stunned, so she spoke to her, "Layla, your father is looking for you, maybe it has something to do with your mother."
Layla murmured in a low voice, "That's not it."
From the expression on Elliot's face just now, Layla had roughly guessed that it was because of her academic performance.
Now that Layla did, she was already mentally prepared.
If Elliot dared to scold her or beat her, she would run away from home immediately and go to Bridgedale to find her mother and brother.
After Elliot waited for Layla to come in, he closed the door.
"What are you closing the door for? Open the door." Layla ordered sharply, staring at the door.
Elliot had to open the door.
Outside, he is the high-ranking president of Sterling Group, and no one dares to be presumptuous in front of him. But at home, he didn't live without seeing his daughter's face every day.
"Layla, do you know what ordinary people use to change their fate?" Elliot didn't tell his daughter directly about her academic performance because he looked angry at the moment.
Sure enough, Layla didn't answer his question.
"Ordinary people change their destiny by reading." Elliot's deep eyes looked at his daughter's face that looked like Avery, "In Aryadelle, there are still many children who have no chance to study because of poverty. Since you have the opportunity to study, just You should cherish it. Don't take your study as a joke."
"You know I failed the exam?" Layla held her chest out, plausibly, "In the past, my mother taught me to study, but now I don't have my mother to guide me, so My grades have naturally declined.”
Elliot didn't expect his daughter to come out with this rhetoric.
"After that, Dad will personally guide you." Elliot gave a way to deal with it.
"You can't." Layla simply refused, "My mother is a genius, aren't you? Don't teach me more and more stupid."
Elliot felt as if he had been poured a basin of ice water, and his heart was cold.
After all, he also graduated from a prestigious university. Although he has graduated for many years, he can definitely do his primary school homework.
But his daughter disliked him so much.
"Then I'll invite your teachers from various subjects to come and help you." Elliot thought that her daughter would not be so rebellious that she didn't take the school's main teacher seriously.
"No!" Layla refused again, "No one can teach me except my mother."
The cellophane between father and daughter was completely pierced.
Layla was threatening him with academic performance.
Elliot picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip of water, and then said slowly: "Layla, since you don't think you are good at reading, and you can't be a genius like your mother, then let's face the reality and become a A mediocre person!"
Layla: "???"
"In the future, you can take the exam as you like. If you do well, your father will reward you. If you do not do well, your father will not criticize you. With your father's ability, even if you do In the next big exams, all the exams will be zero points, Dad can also spend money to let you graduate from a famous university in Aryadelle."
Layla was stunned.
"So then you can study if you want, and play if you want. Dad doesn't force you." Elliot looked at his daughter's stunned face, and his tone became more gentle, "When you graduate from college, if you don't want to work, you can play at home. If you don't think it's fun at home, you can travel around the world. Dad has money, and it's not a problem to support you for a lifetime."
Layla cried with a 'woo'.
Her threats were completely useless to Dad!
She was so angry!
Seeing his daughter run out of the study, Elliot planned to follow him out.
At this moment, the phone on his desk rang.
He walked to the desk, picked up the phone, and glanced at the caller ID—
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1754
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1754
It was Norah Jones's call.
Norah Jones ran in Aryadelle and Bridgedale these days.
In order to destroy Avery's AN technology, she worked very hard.
If Elliot really had a deep hatred with Avery, he would definitely praise Norah Jones.
He stared coldly at the name on the screen, hesitated for a few seconds, and then answered the phone.
"Mr. Foster, preparations for the new company in Bridgedale have been completed. It is expected to start construction in a week. Can you come to the ribbon-cutting event at that time?" Norah Jones asked.
Elliot frowned. He doesn't want to go to Bridgedale again in a short time.
It should be said that if there is no reason to go, he never wants to go to Bridgedale again.
"Mr. Foster, we have invited many politicians and business friends from Bridgedale to participate in the ribbon-cutting event. If you can come…" Norah Jones said.
Elliot interrupted her: "You call Ben Schaffer and ask him to come if he has no time."
After speaking, Elliot hung up the phone.
Norah Jones did not expect that he would not care about the opening of the new company at all. She worked so hard, she thought Elliot saw it all.
Elliot put the phone on the desk, then went downstairs to find his daughter.
Layla was sitting on the sofa in the living room, with Mrs. Cooper and Robert surrounding her.
Mrs. Cooper coaxed and persuaded her, while Robert took her favorite snack and handed it to her sister, hoping to comfort her.
"Layla, your dad must love you very much. If he says bad things to you, it's because he wants you to be better. You are still young and don't understand what I'm saying. When you grow up , you will definitely understand his painstaking efforts." Mrs. Cooper still had a bit of weight in her words in front of Layla.
Layla knew very well that her father was obedient to her. She was just angry that her father had torn apart her originally complete home.
"Sister, I'll give you something to eat!" Robert's bright and clean eyes were filled with care and love for her sister.
"I won't eat it!" Layla pushed away the snacks that her brother handed over, "I miss my mother."
"Then you can make a video call for her!" Mrs. Cooper coaxed, "Didn't you say that you will be able to wait until your winter vacation is over? Have you gone to see your mom? Winter break is coming soon."
Layla took a breath, reached out and rubbed her eyes: "It's night over mom's side. I can't make mom sleep."
"Oh, too. You can wait for the night. Make a video call for her again." Mrs. Cooper asked in a relaxed tone, "Is your mother okay?"
"Of course my mother is okay! She is getting better and more beautiful without her father being angry with her!" Seeing Elliot coming downstairs, Layla said that on purpose to anger him.
Mrs. Cooper also saw Elliot, so she changed the subject: "Layla, your brother has a handicraft class, teach him how to do it! I'm clumsy, I'm afraid I'm not good enough."
"Oh! Brother, let's go. Layla got up from the sofa, took her brother's little hand, and left the living room.
The siblings have a very good relationship.
Layla pinned her thoughts on her mother and brother on Robert.
In the past, when Avery and Hayden were still around, Layla would occasionally bully Robert, but now Layla not only does not bully Robert, but also worries that her younger brother will be bullied in kindergarten.
After the siblings left the living room, Elliot walked up to Mrs. Cooper.
"Did you criticize Layla?" Mrs. Cooper asked in a low voice.
"Do I dare to criticize her?" Elliot sat down on the sofa, "Layla deliberately got low grades and threatened me."
"Ah?" Mrs. Cooper couldn't believe it, "How could she make fun of her own studies? That's not good! "
Mrs. Cooper was very worried, afraid that Layla would go astray.
During the lunch break, Elliot and the two children went back to their rooms to sleep.
Mrs. Cooper took her mobile phone and decided to send a message to Avery.
Elliot definitely couldn't control Layla, and Mrs. Cooper couldn't let Layla make such a mistake.
….
Bridgedale.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1755
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1755
The sun was rising. It was early morning.
Avery got up, walked to the bed, and opened the curtains.
The bright sun outside the window made her feel better.
She couldn't help opening the window, and a biting chill came in.
The good mood brought by the extra sunshine disappeared instantly.
She closed the window, walked to the bed, picked up her phone, and checked the time.
Mrs. Cooper's text message immediately came into view:--
——Avery, I wonder how you are doing lately? Layla says you're fine, I hope it's true. Layla had a fight with Mr. foster today. Layla misses you so much that she deliberately gave a low score on the exam, hoping to threaten Mr. Foster to get you back, or to get him to agree to let her go to you. As a result, they broke down. Mr. Foster did not criticize her, but Layla cried very sadly. I know you have always valued Layla's studies, and I hope you can persuade Layla in private. Also don't tell her, I'm telling you this.
After reading this long text message carefully, Avery felt as if her heart was burning with anxiety.
Her sanity has been thrown into the clouds, and now she just wants to go back to Aryadelle immediately, meet her daughter, and have a good talk.
She was the last thing she wanted to see her child suffer so much from her failed marriage with Elliot.
She pressed the back button, opened the address book, found Elliot's number, and dialed it without hesitation.
——Sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable.
Her heart sank suddenly and kept sinking.
A thought rose in her heart: Elliot blocked her.
She put down her phone and strode towards the bathroom. She turned on the faucet and washed her face with water. She looked at her pale, bloodless face in the mirror, her breathing gradually steady. If she can't get through to Elliot, she can call Layla. Thinking of this, she took a towel to dry the water droplets on her face, and strode out of the bathroom.
She picked up her phone from the bed, found Layla's number, and dialed the video call.
After a while, Layla took the video call.
Avery saw her daughter's face sullen and aggrieved, and her nose suddenly became sore.
Thinking of Mrs. Cooper's reminder, Avery could only ask knowingly, "Layla, what's the matter with you? Mom doesn't see you very happy."
Layla: "Mom, I miss you."
Avery: "Baby, mom misses you too."
"Mom, Why can't I go to you now?" Layla pursed her lips and said angrily, "If I go to you now, what can he do to me?"
Outside the door, Robert refused to sleep, so he ran to his sister Play.
The little guy pushed open the door, got into Layla's room, and shouted in a clear and clear voice, "Sister!"
"Brother, look who this is?" Layla's expression relaxed a little when she saw Robert coming.
She squatted down, picked up her brother, and turned the camera on her and Robert's face.
Robert's dark and bright eyes stared at Avery on the screen.
He knew it was his mother, but he was a little shy because he hadn't been in contact with his mother for too long.
He refused to call his mother, and he didn't dare to look at Avery's face.
"Brother, call her mom!" Layla turned her brother's face toward the camera.
"…Mom." Robert was shy and sounded like a mosquito.
"Brother, speak up!" Layla asked, frowning.
Robert's brows were slightly wrinkled, his face flushed red, and he opened his throat: "—Mom!"
In the study on the second floor, Elliot clearly heard his son calling his mother.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1756
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1756
Elliot knew that Layla had been secretly videotaping with Avery.
His daughter didn't contact Avery in front of him, and he didn't want to interfere.
As long as his daughter is by his side, he doesn't care about the rest.
But now, hearing his son's loud voice calling for his mother, Elliot's heart was pounding.
He got up from his chair uncontrollably!
…
Avery saw her son appearing in the video, so it was inconvenient to tell her daughter about her studies.
And she saw that Robert was a little unfamiliar with her, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Avery wanted to hug her two children through the screen.
But everything is delusional.
Now that Avery and Robert have been separated for less than half a year, Robert feels unfamiliar with her. If they leave for a longer time, will Robert treat Avery like Layla treats Elliot?
After about twenty minutes of talking, Robert became irritable and started to make trouble with Layla, so Avery hung up the video.
From the bedroom, Avery walked towards the kitchen and got ready to make a simple breakfast.
"Avery, I bought you breakfast." In the living room, Mike's voice came, "Are you talking about a video call with Layla?"
"Why did you get up so early?" Avery walked towards the living room and asked worriedly, "I'm afraid you won't believe it. Layla got angry with Elliot and deliberately smashed the exam."
"This really seems like something Layla dared to do." Mike picked up his coffee and took a sip, "You don't have to worry about it, even if Layla usually does poorly in the exam, as long as she takes the high school entrance exam well in the final exam, it will be fine."
"Well. When I see her during the winter vacation, I want to have a good chat with her. She is so angry that she lacks consideration."
Mike finished his coffee and asked, "Do you know why I got up so early today?"
Avery: "Have you had a nightmare? Or is Chad coming to see you?"
Mike: "Hehehe… Chad won't come, Ben Schaffer is here."
At 7:30 this morning, Ben Schaffer called Mike and asked him to meet.
Mike slept in a daze at that time, and he thought that Chad was coming together.
After careful inquiry, he found that it was not what he thought.
"Is Ben Schaffer looking for Gwen? What is he calling you for?" Avery began to think.
"He said he was going to visit AN Technology. I guess it wasn't for personal matters." Mike glanced at the time, "I made an appointment with him at ten o'clock, and I should go out now."
Avery was stunned and reminded him: "Mike, What to say and what not to say, you know what?"
"Of course I know. I have a boat with you, and he and Elliot have a boat." After Mike finished speaking, he pointed to the kitchen, "I bought it. The dishes are in the refrigerator. You can order at noon if you want, and you can make your own if you don't want to."
Avery: "Okay."
After Mike went out, Avery glanced at the breakfast on the coffee table.
A sandwich, a glass of room temperature milk.
Avery and Mike were not picky eaters, they could eat the same food for a lifetime.
…….
AN Technology.
When Mike arrived, he saw Ben Schaffer standing in the lobby on the first floor, not knowing who he was talking to.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1757
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1757
Ben Schaffer saw Mike and immediately hung up.
Mike walked up to Ben and looked at him: "How about we go outside and talk? I always think you have bad intentions."
"If I have bad intentions, I will not come to your site." Ben Schaffer Pull Mike and walk to the elevator entrance, "Do you have any good tea here? Let's chat while drinking tea."
"It's just that you old man like to drink tea." Mike did not let go of any complaints. he said, "Who asked you to come here? Elliot?"
"Well, why did you mention Elliot?" Ben Schaffer didn't care about his sarcasm, "Then what do you have to drink here? I'm a little sleepy."
"Don't you just get off the plane?" Mike glanced at his face, "What's the urgency for you to find me? As for coming over as soon as you get off the plane?"
"It's nothing urgent, I just feel sorry for Avery, and I'm embarrassed to go directly to tell Avery." Ben Schaffer pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "You also know that Elliot and I are deeply tied up in business. In terms of company decision-making, we basically listen to him."
"Oh…" Mike understood what Ben Schaffer was talking about, "Is the Tate Industries's branch in Bridgedale about to open? You came here this time for the opening, right? Elliot is also here?"
"He didn't Come. Because he didn't come, I have to come." Ben Schaffer said helplessly, "There will be a grand ribbon-cutting event at that time."
Mike: "Are you afraid that Avery will blame you? Don't worry, her grievance with Elliot is not to blame on your head."
The two entered the elevator, and after a while, came to Mike's office.
"I came to you in my personal capacity." Ben Schaffer entered Mike's office, saw the refrigerator, and immediately walked over to pull it open, "Why so much milk? Aren't you so healthy?"
Mike: "Avery asked the secretary to order it for me."
"Avery treats you so well? Why do I think she's not so careful with Elliot?" Ben Schaffer sneered, "No wonder you are so committed to her."
"You don't understand people like us who have no parents." Mike took out a bottle of milk from the refrigerator and handed it to him, "I don't have any tea, you can drink it!"
Ben Schaffer took the milk, "It's good for you to take care of each other like this. But I want to know what your company will do next. And, I have some ideas, I don't know if you want to listen."
"Stop.." Mike stopped, "of course I won't tell you what we plan to do next. I don't want to listen to your advice."
Ben Schaffer regretted, "It seems that you are planning to fight against Norah Jones. Norah Jones has Elliot's support, it is very difficult for you to beat her."
Mike: "Norah Jones is just a pawn of Elliot. It's not so much that it is difficult for us to win her. Let's say it is difficult for us to win against Elliot."
Ben: "That's the truth. In fact, as long as Avery goes to Elliot to have a good talk, Elliot will definitely not continue to target you."
Mike said lightly, "Let him give up his fantasy. Avery will never go to find Elliot. She can even let go of the child, just a company, she has nothing to let go."
"I really don't want to see this situation." Ben Schaffer regretted.
Mike; "Are you afraid that Gwen will stand on our side and ignore you?"
Ben Schaffer shook his head: "I've been single for most of my life, do you think I'll be afraid of dying alone? I'm here to tell you this because I think Elliot has gone too far. If it were me, I would never have done this to my ex-wife."
Five days later.
Tate Industries Bridgedale branch was grandly opened.
The company's ribbon-cutting event was broadcast live by many well-known media in Bridgedale.
Mike was with Avery at home today.
Mike ordered a big cake without telling Avery in advance.
When the cake was delivered to the house, Avery smiled in surprise: "Can we both eat such a big cake? What festival is today? Why did you order the cake?"
The figure of Ben holding scissors and participating in the ribbon-cutting event of the new company.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1758
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1758
"The company opened, let's celebrate?" Avery couldn't understand what Mike said.
"Why don't you laugh?" Mike opened the cake, cut a piece, and handed it to her. "Eat more, think less. I suspect that when I'm not at home, you don't have a good lunch at home every day. Have you lost weight?"
"You're saying the exact opposite. I cook and eat well at noon every day." Avery took the cake and fork, and took a small bite, "Gwen said she came to eat tonight, shouldn't it be the same? To comfort me, right?"
"If I had known you were so late, I wouldn't have reminded you." Mike took the remote and turned off the TV.
"I didn't think about that. Tell me or not, I know they will build a new company." Avery removed the cream from the cake, "Why buy a cream cake? I still prefer tiramisu."
"You asked the question before. Of course, I don't mind answering you again." Mike shrugged, "Layla and I prefer cream cakes. I miss Layla a bit, so I ordered cream cakes."
Talking about Layla, The expression on Avery's face sank a little.
Mike said, "Avery, I plan to go back to Aryadelle to see Layla and Robert. What do you think? Do you want to go back to Aryadelle with me? I will never reveal the information about your return to Aryadelle."
"It's winter vacation, I'll wait until Layla comes over here!" Avery said this because she didn't think she would be able to see two children when she returned to Aryadelle.
She was afraid that she would go back hastily, secretly go to see the child, be discovered by Elliot, and cause unnecessary disputes.
She didn't want to quarrel with Elliot. The quarrel not only consumed the emotional energy of both parties, but also tortured the three children.
"Okay, then I'll go back to Aryadelle alone." Mike couldn't let Layla and Robert go. "You'll be home alone, will you?"
Avery: "Isn't there Hayden?"
"Hayden can't see anyone all day long, and he can't be at home with you." Mike pondered, "Should you let Gwen live here?"
"Gwen is busier than Hayden? Besides, Gwen is in love with Ben Schaffer now, if Gwen is in a relationship and living with me, does Ben Schaffer still dare to come to Gwen?"
Avery hit the nail on the head, and Mike dismissed the idea.
"Don't worry, go back to Aryadelle! I'm going to review soon. I planned to do a PhD. I'll apply to the university next to Hayden School." Avery told her plan, and Mike was stunned.
"Do you still need to continue reading?" Mike's tone had already said the answer.
Mike thinks that Avery is good enough, and there is no need to study for a PhD.
Avery said seriously, "Mike, medicine is a very broad field. What I know about it now is only scratches. If I want to learn, I may never finish it all my life. I have already thought about it. I am at home every day. Wait, it's too boring. I want to be closer to Hayden. What's the matter, we mother and son can take care of each other."
Mike: "…"
It turned out that Avery wanted to study for a fake, and she wanted to go to school with Hayden is true.
Aryadelle, the master bedroom of the Foster family.
Elliot was lying on the bed, unable to sleep.
Tate Industries's branch in Bridgedale opened, and a grand opening event was held today.
--He don't know how Avery was feeling.
--She must hate him?
--Since he blacklisted Avery's number, the world has become a lot cleaner.
--But tonight, he began to think of her uncontrollably, of their past.
--He also wondered if it was too much for him to target her like this.
--But whenever this thought arises, he will think of her indifferent decision when she desperately divorced him.
--A normal person would not be so heartless even with a toy that has been around for ten years.
--He really couldn't forgive her!
When a faint white light appeared outside the window, Elliot finally fell asleep.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1759
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1759
At 7:30 in the morning, Layla received a video call from Mike.
"Layla, I'm going back to see you and Robert! Are you having a good time?" Mike was packing.
"Ah! Really?!" Layla jumped up excitedly, "Is my mother back too? Are you two coming back together?!"
Mike knew that Layla would ask.
Mike: "Don't tell anyone when I go back to see you alone? I'll be sad if you do this."
Layla's joy diminished sharply: "Why didn't my mother come back with you?"
Mike: "Because of your father. She doesn't want to see your father or quarrel with him. So I'll go back to see you and Robert first. After your winter vacation, I'll take you to see your mother."
"Okay, okay! I told Uncle Eric as well. Well, he can take me to Bridgedale too! Can he take Robert with me?" Layla couldn't let Robert go, "If I left alone, Robert will be alone at home, how lonely! He must be think of crying!"
Mike: "Let's see if your father will allow us to take Robert to Bridgedale. After all, he is relatively young and has never traveled far, so I guess your father won't be relieved."
Layla: "Humph! I'll put Robert in my suitcase and take it away!"
"Layla! Don't do that! You'll choke your brother to death!" Mike said.
Layla: "I'm talking about that kind of bag for pet dogs! That kind of bag won't suffocate Robert!"
"You take your father for a fool. Do you know that your every move is under your father's surveillance? Every time you secretly make a video to your mother, do you think he doesn't know? How naive!"
Layla immediately raised her head. There are cameras everywhere in the room.
Layla: "I don't have a camera in my room!"
Mike: "Don't you know about the hidden camera? As long as he wants to control your life, he will definitely not let you discover the existence of the camera."
Layla's anger suddenly burned.
Mike: "Layla, be nice these days! Don't let your dad stare at you. It won't be convenient for us to meet then."
Layla: "Okay! I promise I won't be mad at him today!"
After the video call, Layla was in a good mood.
After washing up, Layla was ready to go to breakfast as usual. But today, before going to breakfast, she especially wanted to see her father.
She quietly walked to the door of the master bedroom and gently opened the door a crack.
On the big bed, Elliot slept soundly, completely unaware that his daughter was peeking at him.
"Slacker!" Layla murmured and went downstairs to breakfast.
Time flickered, it was noon.
Elliot was woken up by the phone ringing. When he opened his eyes, he was groggy and hadn't slept enough.
His long arms reached to the bedside table and picked up the phone.
Seeing that Ben Schaffer's call, he immediately connected and closed his eyes.
"Elliot, I heard some news just now." Ben Schaffer's voice was a little tight, and his tone was a little horrified, "Avery seems to have sold AN Technology!"
Elliot's closed eyes opened immediately!
Avery sold AN Technology?
Ben Schaffer spoke quickly, "The accuracy rate of this news is at least 80%! It is said that it was sold at a low price. Because the Tate Industries branch opened, everyone is not optimistic about AN Technology. Avery's shot at AN Technology at this time will definitely not sell good price but she still chose to sell it. Elliot, do you regret it?"

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1760
Regret?
Elliot was a little confused for a moment.
Avery quietly sold the company.
In the eyes of outsiders, Elliot definitely forced her to do this.
"Elliot, are you satisfied that you pushed her to this point?" Seeing that Elliot didn't answer, Ben Schaffer spoke again, "She has already fled to Bridgedale, you two are clearly not guilty of water, so you have to go. Bridgedale has to tell everyone with great fanfare that you will continue to work on AN technology… Although Avery will not starve to death in the future, have you ever thought that it is really low for you to do so? Hayden is not yet an adult. You broke Avery's back. Do you want your son to suffer too?!"
Elliot listened to Ben Schaffer's accusations quietly and did not refute. He never thought that Avery would sell the company.
But what Ben Schaffer said was right, since Elliot replaced Vice President Locklyn of Tate Industries and let Norah Jones take over, the relationship between him and Avery was destined to deteriorate all the way.
"You treat Avery like this, don't you want Hayden to come back to you after Avery has nothing?" Ben Schaffer diverged his thoughts, "Hayden's personality is like yours, if you treat Avery like this, Hayden will starve to death, I won't choose to come back to you."
"Have you said enough?" Elliot's Adam's apple rolled up and down, "I don't regret it!"
On the phone, Ben Schaffer was stunned for a moment. Tonight, he drank a lot of wine. He was taking advantage of the alcohol, so he made this call to Elliot.
Hearing Elliot saying that he had no regrets, anger burned in his chest.
"Elliot, why did you become like this?" Ben Schaffer no longer cared about his feelings, and told his whole heart, "Why do you keep pretending that Avery owes you?! It's clear that neither of you owe you anything. Who is it, at least in my opinion! Can you not always regard yourself as the center of the world, whoever does not listen to you, you will take revenge on someone, you are really naive!"
"I regard myself as the center of the world. I'll take revenge on her?" Elliot was startled by his words.
Ben: "Isn't it? I always think you are a reasonable person, but you are unreasonable to Avery! You think she gave you three children, so you can bully her casually, and she will end up doing it for the children. Stay by your side! You didn't expect that you made the wrong abacus! So you became angry!"
Ben Schaffer's words made Elliot really angry.
Elliot: "In your eyes, she is so pitiful?"
Ben Schaffer angrily said, "Isn't she pitiful? Elliot, your conscience won't hurt? I didn't know why she insisted on divorcing you, but she was still with you. I scolded her in front of me. Later, I learned the truth, your actions subverted my imagination more and more! You…"
Before Ben Schaffer finished speaking, Elliot interrupted him and asked coldly: "What truth do you know?"
How could he not know the so-called truth?
"You really want me to say it? I didn't mention a word because of your face…"
"Speak!" Elliot shouted angrily, "Tell me the f*ck!"
"Okay! Since You are shameless, then I don't have to worry anymore!" Ben Schaffer also roared, "When something happened to the Jobin family, when we were going to Yonroeville, you received a call from Avery at the airport, why didn't you say Avery? An accident happened too? After all, you don't care that much about Avery! You f*cking told me, I can let you go to Yonroeville?"
Elliot seemed to be given a sap in the head. He clenched his fingers tightly holding the phone, a thin layer of sweat on his palms.
"You said just now… Avery had an accident at the time?" Elliot heard his heart pounding. There were countless noises in his mind, mixed with a clown-like laugh.
Ben Schaffer listened to his rhetorical question and scratched his head: "Avery said you know, do you have to pretend here?"
Elliot: "What happened to her? Ben Schaffer, make it clear!"
His face turned red and white, There was a layer of hot sweat on his forehead, but his body was shivering with cold.
"You're still pretending?! Elliot, you feel guilty, don't you?" Ben Schaffer sneered, "Avery couldn't see and called you, but you left her alone and ran to Yonroeville. I will insist on divorce from you!"
With a 'boom', Elliot felt something collapsed.
"She can't see? You said she can't see?" Elliot murmured and repeated Ben Schaffer's words.
"What do you mean? It's boring for you to pretend!" Ben Schaffer said angrily.
Dudu Dudu!
Call disconnected.
