When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1801
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1801
Robert looked at his father with a cute and handsome face, and said what he saw and heard from his mother today.
Avery said that he liked his father before, but after his communication, he now likes it.
These words made Elliot's heart arouse thousands of waves!
The son's serious appearance does not seem to be lying.
"Robert, who said this to you?" Mrs. Cooper asked Robert immediately when she saw Elliot's body froze.
Robert raised her head, looked at Mrs. Cooper, and replied, "It's what my mother said!"
Mrs. Cooper couldn't help laughing and crying: "Your mother told you such a thing!"
"Mom did." Robert was afraid that everyone would think that He was lying, so he repeated the point.
Mrs. Cooper saw that the atmosphere was really awkward, so she took out the other leg of the robot from the suitcase that Elliot opened.
"Let's go and fit the robot's legs." Mrs. Cooper led Robert away.
Elliot closed the suitcase and carried it back to the master bedroom.
Avery actually said such things against her intentions in order to get closer to her son!
She didn't expect her to be like this now.
After closing the master bedroom door, Elliot paced back and forth in the room, but his heart could not calm down!
Ben Schaffer actually carried him behind his back and took his son to Avery to see!
He turned on the phone, but did not see Ben Schaffer's news or missed calls.
In a fit of anger, he dialed Ben Schaffer.
Starry River Villa.
Ben Schaffer's cell phone rang, and seeing that it was Elliot calling, he immediately winked at everyone.
"Everyone be quiet first! I'll take a call." Ben Schaffer had expected the matter to be revealed, and he was about to be scolded.
Gwen was very gossipy and pressed his phone on the speakerphone, wanting to hear how Elliot scolded people.
Ben Schaffer looked embarrassed: "Gwen, can't you save me some face?"
Gwen: "What kind of face, if he scolds you, I will help you scold back."
With Gwen's words, Ben breathed.
After picking up the phone, Elliot's voice suddenly came: "Did you take Robert to see Avery today? Robert is my son, who allowed you to do this without my consent?"
Ben Schaffer cleared his throat: "The matter is like this…I took Robert to play outside today, and by coincidence, I met Avery…"
Elliot: "Is there such a coincidence?"
Ben Schaffer: "Yes! What a coincidence! How could I deliberately bring Robert to Avery's house? I wouldn't do that."
Ben Schaffer's eyes widened and he was talking nonsense, which fell into everyone's eyes.
Gwen didn't expect Ben to be so cowardly in front of Elliot, and was suddenly a little disillusioned.
When Avery saw that Ben was lying because he was afraid, she felt that she had implicated him.
"Give me the phone." Avery stretched out her hand towards Ben Schaffer.
Her voice clearly fell into Elliot's ears on the other side of the phone.
Elliot held the phone tightly with his fingers.
Unexpectedly, Ben Schaffer is now with Avery.
"Uh… Elliot… I'm at Avery's house now… She wants to talk to you on the phone…" Ben Schaffer said hesitantly here, see Elliot didn't respond, so he said, "Since you have no opinion, then I'll give her the phone… You two have a good chat."
After Ben Schaffer finished speaking, without giving Elliot a chance to respond, he directly handed the phone to Avery.
After Avery got the mobile phone, he turned off the handsfree, and then walked out with the mobile phone.
After walking out of the villa, Avery exhaled and said, "I asked Ben Schaffer to bring Robert to my house. Robert is my son, and I have the right to see him."
Elliot listened to her strong tone. He coldly Said: "If you want to see your son, do you need my consent first?! You still ignore me as always!"
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1802
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1802
"Have the two of them quarreled?" Mike has been paying attention to Avery's figure outside the door.
He saw Avery clenched her fists.
"Maybe! Elliot doesn't like others to kill first and then play." Ben Schaffer said, "I brought Robert out today and didn't tell him."
"Then he can't put his anger on Avery!" Mike said, put down Wine glass, I want to go out and help Avery speak.
Chad immediately dragged Mike back.
"They're quarrelling, what are you doing? I don't think Avery will lose. My boss is not good at quarreling." Chad didn't want to let the fool like Mike get into trouble, "The two of them definitely didn't talk about visitation rights before, but now If you don't make it clear, it will be more troublesome in the future."
Mike heard the words and sat back: "Am I afraid that Avery will suffer?"
"You are not such a powerful helper!" Chad teased, "You can do nothing but help?"
Mike glared at Mike: "I don't like to hear you say that."
"Whether you like it or not, it's the truth. As long as Avery doesn't ask you to help, you don't care about the two of them." Chad said, "You are the most righteous all day long."
"Why are you two quarreling?" Gwen said, and stopped the fighting, "You two wait a while, I have something to say."
Mike and Chad immediately shut up.
Ben Schaffer felt that Gwen was going to target himself.
"Ben Schaffer, you lied just now and didn't even blink your eyes. Now I suspect that you didn't have a word of truth in your mouth." Gwen really aimed at Ben Schaffer.
Ben Schaffer was ashamed: "I can't tell the truth with your second brother, can I? Do you want me to tell Elliot that Robert was brought to Avery's house on purpose? What did he think? If I openly confronted him, he could still treat me as a friend? If he doesn't treat me as a friend, will I still have a chance to bring Robert out to play in the future? Gwen, the world is not black and white. "
Gwen: "But I just can't stand your cowardice."
"Where am I cowardly? I told a white lie to maintain peace." Ben Schaffer said in a straightforward manner, "Gwen, I know you must be suspicious. Are the words I said to you all false… I can swear that what I said to you is the truth!"
Ben Schaffer said, in front of everyone, raised his hands up, swear.
Chad was Stunned.
Mike: "The old man is playing tricks again!"
At this time, there was a flash of lightning in the sky! Immediately afterwards, a 'boom' sounded, and thunder began.
Gwen listened to the thunder and looked at the lightning, her face distorted with fright.
"Hahahaha! Eat well when you eat, what swear do you swear! You've hired Duke!" Mike almost burst into tears, "If you don't leave tonight, I'm afraid you'll be struck by lightning!"
Ben Schaffer angrily withdrew his hand and explained with a red face: "Today's weather forecast has a thunderstorm! I didn't invite the thunder!"
"There is no silver 300 taels here." Mike picked up the wine glass and poured it for him, "It's still a bar! When you're drunk, she won't question what you say to Gwen. After all, you tell the truth after drinking, hahaha!"
Ben Schaffer picked up the glass and took a sip.
Avery walked in from outside the house and returned the phone to Ben Schaffer.
"It's raining outside." Avery said calmly and sat down in her seat.
"How was your chat with Elliot?" Gwen asked, "Did you quarrel? How was the battle? Did you win?"
Avery looked calm: "It's not a quarrel. I said I want to see Robert in the future, Elliot can't stop me. Before he asks me to see Robert in the future, I should just tell him in advance."
"Is it going so well?" Mike couldn't believe his ears.
Avery responded, picked up the water glass in front of him, and took a sip.
Of course it didn't go so well.
Elliot felt that when Avery saw Robert this time, she didn't tell him in advance that she didn't take him seriously.
At the same time, Elliot proposed that if he secretly went to Bridgedale to see Hayden, Avery would definitely be furious when she knew.
Since it was Avery's charge of letting Ben Schaffer bring Robert out, she could only admit her mistake to him.
Avery apologized to him.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1803
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1803
Elliot probably didn't expect her to apologize, so he was shocked and speechless for a long time.
When the lightning and thunder were roaring just now, Elliot suggested that Avery would need his consent to see Robert in the future.
Avery agreed.
….
Foster family.
After Elliot finished talking on the phone, he put down the phone and walked towards the bathroom.
He's been in the flight basically all day.
Because of Avery, a day was wasted. Of course, Avery can't be blamed for this. It was Elliot who was upset and had to go to Yonroeville.
He wanted to ask her about Haze just now, but he reminded him rationally that if he asked on the phone, he would not get any results.
When Avery wants to see Robert next time, he will take Robert to the appointment.
After taking a shower, he came out of the master bedroom.
Unexpectedly, Robert was standing at the door of his bedroom.
Robert had already finished dinner, holding the installed robot in his hand and showing it to him.
"Robert, are you happy to see your mother today?" Elliot took his son's hand and walked downstairs.
Robert pouted, thinking about how to answer this question.
"What did mom tell you?" Elliot continued to ask.
Robert couldn't remember what his mother said to him.
"There are a lot of sisters on my mother's phone…" Robert raised his head, wanting to express that there are many videos of Layla on his mother's phone.
"Does mom show you anything other than sister's videos?" Robert thought for a while, then shook his head.
"Do you like your mother?" Today was the first time Robert saw her mother when he grew up. So Elliot wanted to know what his son was thinking.
Robert blushed shyly and decided to ignore this question.
He held up the robot and made a squeaking sound, pretending to be fighting.
Elliot saw his son avoid this question, so he thought of a way: "Do you like Aunt Norah Jones?"
Norah Jones would come to see Robert every one or two months.
Every time, She brought a lot of toys to Robert from abroad.
So Robert liked Norah Jones very much.
"I liked her!" Robert answered the question without hesitation.
"Then did you like your mother?" Elliot asked again.
Robert nodded shyly.
Although Robert was a little afraid of her mother, Robert knew that her sister liked her mother very much, so he should also like her mother.
After getting his son's answer, Elliot was a little bit worried.
Robert's personality is like Avery, he is gentle and well-behaved, and he likes whoever treats him well.
Unlike Hayden and Layla, who love and hate clearly, they are fierce like little wolf dogs.
Robert would only cry in front of Elliot when he was angry.
"Dad, do you like Mom?" Robert raised his head suddenly and asked this question seriously.
Elliot: "…"
He just heard this question, and his heart was completely confused. There was no way to answer the son's question at all.
"Dad, let's go and bring mom to our house! Sister will definitely be very happy like this, hehe!" Robert said. His eyes lit up.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1804
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1804
Elliot looked at his son's silly appearance and laughed.
Robert was Layla's little follower and sycophant.
Because the age gap between the brother and sister was slightly large, Robert was always worried that her sister would not play with him, and usually flattered her sister in various ways.
"Then next time you see your mother, invite her!" Elliot said to his son.
Elliot knew that Avery would refuse, so he said that on purpose.
"Okay!" Robert happily followed his father downstairs, and began to look forward to seeing his mother next time, "Dad, when will my sister come back?"
"Let's make a video call for her!" Elliot didn't communicate with his daughter for two days, so he missed her especially now.
He carried Robert to the living room sofa and sat down, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Layla's number.
Called, no one answered.
It's past seven o'clock in the evening, so it's impossible not to finish work, right?
He asked Eric for Layla's shooting schedule, and Layla's shooting was basically arranged during the day.
Thinking of this, Elliot found Eric's number and dialed it.
It was Eric's agent who answered the phone.
Eric's agent: "Boss Foster, do you have anything to do with Eric?"
"Where is my daughter? Why can't she get through on the phone? Let my daughter answer the phone." Elliot said.
Eric's agent looked embarrassed and said embarrassedly, "Boss Foster, Layla is crying right now, I'm afraid I can't answer your call."
When Elliot heard this, the blood in his body boiled instantly.
He put Robert in his arms aside, took the phone, and quickly walked towards the door. And askd, "What happened to Layla? What happened?!"
Robert didn't even think about it, and ran quickly with his father.
"Robert, it's raining outside, don't run around!" Mrs. Cooper saw this and immediately chased after him and hugged Robert.
Elliot turned around, looked at his son with an anxious face, wanted to go out with him, and immediately explained to his son in a low voice, "Dad is going to pick up you sister. You stay at home."
With his father's words, Robert felt at ease.
Mrs. Cooper immediately handed Elliot an umbrella.
Elliot took the umbrella, opened it, and strode into the rain.
On the other side of the phone, Eric's agent told Elliot what happened in the afternoon: "I already knew that Layla liked her mother, but I didn't expect that Layla would not be able to tell the difference between the inside and the outside. What's more, when the heroine was a child, in the play, her mother was a sc*mbag who abandoned her husband and her daughter, and the lines required her to cry and say that she hated her mother, but she could not enter the state, which led to NG many times."
The agent Continued, "Originally, the director didn't blame her, nor did the actors who played with her… But Frida, the heroine of the show, whispered to a staff member that Layla's acting was not good, I got the role through relationships, and I was heard by Layla. Layla cried very sadly. Eric persuaded her for a long time, but she still hasn't persuaded her yet!"
Elliot finished listening. Cause and effect, his face was gloomy and terrifying.
With a 'bang', he slammed the door shut!
The car sped away quickly.
At the shooting set.
The director and Eric, including Frida, the heroine who complained about Layla's poor acting skills, surrounded Layla, trying to appease her.
Eric wanted to take Layla back to the hotel, but Layla held her knees with both hands and buried her head in her knees, unwilling to speak or get up.
Only her sad cries could be heard.
All along, Layla has lived under the applause and praise of the people around her.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1805
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1805
Layla was very smart and could learn everything in one go, she had not suffered many setbacks.
Regarding acting, she also often heard people say she has talent.
This is not the first time she has acted. She has performed well in the past and also in crying scenes, but this time, let her express her hatred and resentment for the role of 'mother', she can't take the role.
She has never encountered such setbacks in the past few years.
She felt that she might not be able to complete this job, because what she loved the most was her mother, even if she knew it was a play or a fake, she couldn't act it.
Thinking that if she gave up halfway, she would fail Uncle Eric's care and make others laugh, making her heart even more uncomfortable.
"Layla, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean it. I didn't mean to say you're bad at acting… well, I probably did say something like that, but I said something else later…I was also a child star, and my acting skills were far worse than yours now." Frida didn't expect that a word she accidentally made would make Layla 'strike'.
Frida worries about the progress of her work. Because Layla was upset, Eric stayed with Layla all the time, and they couldn't continue filming their rival scenes.
At the same time, she was also worried that Elliot knew about it.
Layla is the apple of Elliot's palm, and no one knows about it.
If it weren't for this relationship, she would have publicly rebuked Layla for being unprofessional and poor in her acting skills, instead of privately complaining.
"Go away!" Eric turned his head and said to Frida.
Frida looked embarrassed and was taken away by her agent.
Not long after, Elliot arrived.
He pulled Eric, who was squatting beside Layla, away, and then said to Layla, "Layla, dad is here. Dad will take you home."
Layla immediately raised her head when she heard dad's voice.
Her crying scarlet and swollen eyes caught Elliot's line of sight.
Elliot was very distressed. He never wanted Layla to enter the entertainment circle where the dragon and fish were mixed. It was Avery who said to respect the child's wishes, so he let Layla follow Eric until now.
If Elliot could choose again, he would never let Layla enter the entertainment industry.
"I want mom." Layla choked and said this, "I don't want you."
Elliot's throat rolled, feeling a little uncomfortable.
But now his daughter was more uncomfortable, he could only follow her daughter's request and contact Avery.
"Layla, I've already called your mother! She said she'll be here soon!" Eric's agent immediately spoke to Layla when he heard Layla's request.
Hearing this, Elliot stood up immediately.
"Who is Frida?" Elliot asked the agent.
Eric's agent coughed awkwardly, trying to pretend that he hadn't made a snitch.
He can't point to Frida's face and say, this is Frida, she is the one who made your daughter cry.
How will we meet again after this?
Seeing that Frida couldn't escape, she could only walk in front of Elliot and sincerely admit her mistake: "Mr. Foster, I'm sorry, it was me who talked about your daughter behind her back, causing your daughter to be sad… I've already apologized to Layla, I can go and apologize to her again."
"Since it's useless for you to apologize to her, let's try another way." Elliot's voice was indifferent, "If my daughter can't calm down tonight, you won't want to hang out in the entertainment industry in the future."
Frida was so frightened, she slapped herself in the face with a 'pop'!
"I was wrong! I knew I was wrong!" Frida said, raising her hand again and slapping her face on the other side, "Layla! I'm sorry! I'll never talk again! I really know wrong!"
…
When Avery came, the scene was full of chaos.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1806
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1806
Avery saw a well-known actress sitting in a chair crying, and under the white aperture, she could see the tears in the eyes of the actress.
A doctor was applying ointment to the actress's face.
Elliot and Layla were on the other side.
Layla didn't cry, but she looked sullen.
Avery strode up to her daughter and held her daughter's hands.
"Layla, your eyes are swollen from crying." Avery said in pain, "Why didn't you call mom earlier? After mom returned to Aryadelle, she told Uncle Eric, should Uncle Eric tell you?"
"Mom, hug me." Layla threw herself into her mother's arms, "Mom, I can't act that scene well… I tried many times and couldn't act it."
"It's not that you can't act well, it must be the method." Avery encouraged.
Elliot's eyes looked at Avery for a moment.
After an absence of nearly three years, Avery looked more mature than before.
It may be because she had long hair, and the ends of her hair were permed in waves.
"Take Layla home first." Elliot saw that Avery seemed to be teaching Layla how to enter the role, so he said, "Don't you want Layla to continue filming?"
"Why not?" Hearing Elliot voice, Avery looked up, "My daughter didn't say she wanted to give up."
Their eyes met, and the smell of gunpowder suddenly rubbed in the air.
Because this was a set, there were people all around.
So the two of them didn't speak very loudly, and they wouldn't quarrel in front of their daughter.
"Daughter can't act in that scene. Didn't you see that she has collapsed?" Elliot had a chat with the director just now, and the director told him that if Layla had to act, the screenwriter could change the script for Layla.
For the sake of his daughter, Elliot can of course ask the director to do this. But he didn't think it was necessary.
He didn't want Layla to take this path in the future, and secondly, his daughter might not be suitable for this line of work.
"I said it just now, maybe the method is wrong." Avery argued with him rationally, "Whether to continue, it's up to my daughter. Not yours."
If Layla wanted to leave, Layla would have left long ago.
Since Layla is still here, it means that Layla doesn't want to give up.
"Layla, tell your mother, do you want to give up filming? You can answer your mother after you have made up your mind." Avery asked, looking at her daughter's little face.
"Mom, I don't want to give up…but I don't know how to do it well…" Layla murmured, "That aunt said I wasn't good at acting, I want to act well…"
"Well, mom knows that you definitely want to act well." Avery already knew the main reason for Layla's collapse on the phone, "Tell mom, who do you hate the most?"
Layla lowered her eyes, After hesitating for a few seconds, she said, "I…I hate dad the most…"
Although Elliot was present, Layla bravely said the answer.
She blamed her father for the departure of her mother and brother.
"Then imagine your mother's role in the play as your father." Avery bit the bullet and tried to figure out a way with his daughter, "Your uncle Eric is in the play, marrying other women, and having children, does not mean that he is in reality. I really want to marry that actress. Your bad relationship with your mother in the play will not affect your good relationship with your mother in reality."
"Layla, your mother is right. You can play the role of mother in the play, Imagine being your father." Eric echoed, "I believe you can play well."
Elliot stood beside Eric, like a walking dead.
First, he was stabbed by his daughter, and then by Avery, and now even Eric's little white face has bullied him! How ridiculous!
"Then I'll try again!" Layla took a deep breath and stood up from her chair.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1807
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1807
The staff immediately took Layla to touch up makeup.
The place suddenly became busy.
Avery is going to go to the filming of Layla with Eric.
Elliot blocked her way.
His sturdy body was an unavoidable wall of flesh.
Avery looked at his gloomy and cold face and said, "I didn't instigate my daughter to hate you. I came up with that method just now so that my daughter could finish filming this scene smoothly."
Elliot didn't answer her topic, but threw a sentence, "I went to Yonroeville to meet Nick."
Avery immediately understood what he was doing to block her.
Avery looked at Eric and said, "Go to see Layla filming first!"
After Eric responded, he strode away.
"Why did you suddenly look for Haze?" Elliot asked Avery in a low voice, looking at the back of Eric leaving.
Avery: "I'm looking for whoever I want. It has nothing to do with you."
"Haze is my daughter. Of course you have something to do with me when you look for her." Elliot put his hands in his pockets, his deep eyes fell on her face, "Why do you suspect that she is your daughter? Is it just because Haze looks like you?"
"What answer do you want from me?" Avery looked at him calmly, "Either you bring Haze back, I I'll tell you the reason."
"If I could find Haze, I would have found it long ago. She may not be here anymore."
"Even her biological father thinks so, even if she is still alive, what does she have to do with death? The difference." Avery's eyes were sullen and disappointed with him.
Elliot: "I haven't stopped looking for her. Until now, I still send people to look for her all over the world."
Avery: "Have you ever looked for her in Aryadelle?"
"Do you think I don't have one?" Elliot asked back, "She was just born when she disappeared. You know how small and fragile a newborn child is. Looking for her is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"I have to find it!" Avery's eyes were slightly red, her chest heaved sharply, and her voice trembled, "What if she is still alive?"
Elliot looked at Avery's irrational reaction and understood what Nick said.
Avery may have already decided in her heart that Haze is her daughter.
"Avery, if Haze was our daughter, we would not have quarreled, let alone divorced." Elliot thought this was very ironic, so he made this assumption.
"You still don't know the real reason for the divorce between the two of us." Avery's mouth raised a bitter arc, "It has nothing to do with Haze."
"What does that have to do with?" Elliot asked, "It was because of your eyes back then. I'm sick, I didn't go to you, but chose to go to Haze? Avery, you were sick with your eyes, this… No one told me."
Before Elliot could say the next, Avery cut him off.
Because of his intense emotions, his voice was getting louder and louder.
Avery was afraid that he would influence others to shoot.
Avery: "What's wrong with this? Elliot, if you think you're right, then you're right. I didn't blame you for this, and you don't have to mention the past of these old sesame seeds and rotten millet!"
Elliot clenched the fist tightly. His mind became blank after listening her words.
"I'm fine now. Judging from your appearance, I'm living a good life. Besides, you take good care of Robert, so you're a good father right now." Avery quickly adjusted her mood and boldly looked him up and down After looking at it again, "It's good for us to maintain the relationship between our ex-wife and ex-husband."
"I didn't say I would remarry you, so why are you in such a hurry to distance yourself from me?" Elliot frowned.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1808
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1808
"Make it clear now to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future." Avery said calmly, "It's very late, why don't you go back first? I'll accompany Layla when she finishes filming. "
Elliot originally wanted to wait for his daughter to finish filming before taking her home.
But thinking that her daughter said that the person she hates the most is herself, her mood is inevitably affected.
Elliot didn't want his daughter to hate him.
"How is Hayden?" Elliot asked Avery before leaving.
Avery replied, "He's fine. He is in good health and his academic performance is good. If you want to see him, you can go to Bridgedale to see him at any time. You should know his new school, right?"
Avery expressed A generous look made Elliot particularly helpless.
Elliot wanted to find Hayden, although Avery would not stop him, Hayden would not see him.
Except during the previous time in Yonroeville, the relationship between father and son has eased. At other times, Hayden does not recognize his father.
"When will you go back to Bridgedale, let me know. I'll go with you." Elliot thought about it for a while and made his own request, "without you, he won't see me."
"I have no plans to go back to Bridgedale for the time being. Avery understood his mood, "As long as you let me see Layla and Robert at any time, I will help you see Hayden."
Elliot pondered for a moment and accepted the exchange.
He doesn't hate Avery as much as he did when he first divorced.
After knowing that Avery was resolutely divorced because of illness, she didn't hate him so much.
It's just that the two of them had already torn their skins at that time, and it was difficult to go back to the beginning.
After talking about the child, the two of them fell into silence with a tacit understanding.
This tacit understanding made the atmosphere extremely awkward.
"You go first!" Avery felt uncomfortable breathing.
Elliot said, "When Layla finishes filming, I'll tell her before leaving. She will be filming tomorrow, so she won't be able to go home with you tonight."
Avery: "I didn't say I would take her back to me. I just want to spend more time with her."
"Have a party at your house tonight?" Elliot thought of calling Ben Schaffer at that time, and Ben Schaffer said that he was at Avery's house.
There must be other friends besides Ben Schaffer and Gwen.
Before the two of them got divorced, everyone liked to go to her house for parties.
"Well, what's wrong?" Avery asked softly.
"Nothing. Just ask." Elliot realized that he was not qualified to ask her private affairs, so he could only put aside his curiosity.
Avery watched his Adam's apple roll up and down, as if he had something to swallow, so he asked with concern: "Before I returned to Aryadelle, I took a look at the Tate Industries branch you built in Bridgedale."
Elliot stunned.
"I heard that the Tate Industries has made a lot of money in the past two years." Avery raised the corner of her mouth, looked at him with a smile in her eyes, and continued, "The person in charge you found is really good. The person in charge of the Tate Industries is called Norah Jones, right?"
"Yeah." Elliot looked at the smile on her face and couldn't see through her inner thoughts.
If the two of them hadn't divorced, Elliot wouldn't dare to change the head of Tate Industries easily.
Elliot thought she would be angry and question him, but the smile on her face clearly didn't seem to care too much about these questions.
"If you want to find a stepmother for Layla and Robert, I have no problem," Avery changed the conversation, which caught Elliot by surprise, "As long as your new love can get along with the child, even if it is only superficial politeness."
Because Layla is not the kind of child who can be wronged.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1809
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1809
If Layla was wronged at Elliot's house, Layla would definitely run away from home.
And if Elliot remarrys another woman, he will definitely have another child. When he has a child with his new wife, he will definitely not be able to take care of Layla and Robert. Avery will find a way to get the custody of the two children back.
Even if the custody can't be taken back, as long as the two children can live with her, that's fine.
Avery had a wishful thinking in her heart, but Elliot looked at her coldly.
"You care so much about my life?"
"I mainly care about my children." Avery said lightly.
"I want to give you Layla and Robert after I remarry!" Elliot saw through her inner thoughts at a glance, "Avery, don't dream anymore. Even if I meet a woman I like in the future, I want to marry her and have children. I won't give you Layla and Robert."
Avery's expression suddenly froze.
At this time, Layla successfully finished filming and ran towards them.
"Mom! I'm done shooting!" Layla grabbed Avery's hand and pulled her to the director's side to watch the replay, "The director said I did a good job, mom, go and see."
"Well." Mother and daughter quickly walked away from Elliot.
Eric stood in front of Elliot: "What did you two talk about just now? You won't see Avery and become thirsty again, right?"
"What did I talk about with my ex-wife and what does it have to do with you, an outsider?" Elliot refuted, "I think it's you who has always been a thief, isn't it?"
"I have long accepted the fact that I am not worthy of her." Eric saw Avery looking back at them not far away, so he lowered his voice again, "Elliot, I advise you to accept this fact as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will suffer in the future."
Elliot failed to understand the meaning of Eric's words.
"Go back first! Layla will be filming tomorrow morning, so she can only stay at the hotel tonight." Eric didn't wait for him to raise his doubts, and spoke again, "With Avery accompanying her, you don't have to worry."
Elliot knew that he Superfluous, so turn around and get ready to go.
"Also, who are you going to teach next time, can you not be in front of Layla?" Eric recalled Frida's slap in the face, "Aren't you afraid of Layla's nightmare at night?"
Elliot was angry at the time, but he didn't So thoughtful.
"Got it."
After Elliot left, Avery took Layla to the hotel to rest.
Layla: "Mom, sleep with me tonight!"
"Okay." Seeing her daughter's obedient and docile appearance, Avery couldn't bear to refuse, "Layla, next time you encounter difficulties, you should call your mother first. People are crying secretly."
"I don't know what happened to me today. But I'm better now!" Layla smiled, and asked, "Is my dad gone?"
Avery: "Well."
"Mom, Isn't it good to say that I hate him the most in front of so many people?" Layla sniffed, "Actually, I don't hate him that much, I'm just angry with him."
"Layla, I'm with you. Dad's divorce, don't put all the blame on him." Avery didn't want to intensify the conflict between their father and daughter, "I chatted with him just now, he won't stop me from seeing you and your brother, he's not as mean as I thought."
"Because he can't control me!" Layla shrugged, "I can go wherever I want, and see whoever I want. It's just that Robert is not very obedient."
"What's wrong with Robert Already?" Avery asked.
"Every time I want to take Robert to find you, but Robert doesn't want to." Layla complained.
Avery was startled: "Didn't your father stop Robert from coming to me?"

Layla shook her head: "No! Dad never told me to take Robert to find you. It was Robert who didn't want to come with me to find you. My brother was a little shy."
Before returning to Aryadelle, Avery always thought that it was Elliot who prevented Robert from coming to Bridgedale to find his mother, but Robert himself did not want to come.
"Mom, although Dad is very annoying, he listens to me a lot of the time." Layla didn't mean to speak for Dad, but the meaning of her words was obvious.
Avery knew that Elliot was very fond of children.
No matter how their relationship changes, the child is always his biological child, how could he not love the child?
"Layla, since you don't hate your father so much, why did you say that in front of him just now?" Avery remembered the sadness on Elliot's face when Layla said that she hated his father the most.
"I just want to be mad at him." Layla frowned and took a breath, "Mom, maybe my rebellious period is over."
"Layla, don't make him angry!" Avery said.
Layla: "Why? Are you afraid that he will be bad to me and Robert?"
"No." Avery blushed slightly, "Your father is quite old… If he gets angry, it will be bad."
Layla was stunned.
In Layla's mind, Dad has always been the same. He was tall and straight, as majestic as a mountain. Layla would never have thought about Dad's age if Mom hadn't reminded Dad that he was quite old.
She knew that people would grow old, but she never thought that parents would grow old.
"Baby, what's the matter? Did your mother's words scare you?" Avery immediately comforted her daughter when she saw that her mood was suddenly down.
Layla's eyes were slightly red: "Mom, I don't want you to grow old."
"Everyone gets old." Avery led her daughter into the hotel room.
Because Layla is afraid of living alone, she and Eric live in the presidential suite.
"You live here with Layla, and I'll open another room." Eric said after sending them into the room.
Avery: "Eric, did Layla have dinner tonight?"
Eric: "No. I'll order food now and have it delivered."
"Okay, I'll take her to take a bath first." Avery led Layla into the bedroom.
After the room door was closed, Avery went to find her pajamas.
Layla followed behind her: "Mom, is it really impossible for you and my dad?"
Avery tightened her fingers on the clothes: "Do you want me to be with your dad again?"
"I didn't really think about it…I want to go back to the way we were before when you were not divorced, how happy we were living together as a family!" Layla always thinks of the happy life before, "But I know it's my wishful thinking. You've both been divorced for so long, and I hope you find a better man than Dad…"
"Layla, there's so much to do Mom, and finding a man is definitely not on my schedule." Avery put the pajamas on the bed, and then took her daughter to remove her makeup.
"I know, I know! Uncle Eric said that no one is worthy of you. But I'm afraid you are lonely sometimes." Layla sat obediently in front of the dressing mirror and asked her mother to remove her makeup.
Avery wiped off the makeup on her daughter's face little by little.
Seeing her daughter showing no makeup, she couldn't help thinking of Haze.
