When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1841
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1841
This necklace was very familiar.
It was the necklace in the jewelry set that her mother was going to buy for her last time, but was cut off by Norah Jones.
"Just a necklace?" Layla looked at Norah Jones and asked, "Aunt Jones, why are you hiding the bracelet in this set of jewelry? Or have you already given the bracelet to another child?"
With a swish, it turned red.
How did Layla know there was a matching bracelet for this necklace?
Guess?
Seeing his daughter being so impolite, Elliot immediately said, "Layla, you…"
"Elliot! Shut up!" Layla frowned and yelled at her father.
Norah Jones was shocked! Mrs. Cooper was also shocked.
It was very impolite for Layla to call Elliot's name directly. She was so angry at her father.
It was the first time that Elliot was scolded by his daughter in front of outsiders, and was a little confused.
"Layla, you shouldn't speak to your father so loudly. Auntie does have a pair of bracelets there. I want to give it to you next time. Since you like it, I'll go get it for you now." Norah Jones wanted to calm down as soon as possible Layla's anger, so hurried away and went back to get the bracelet.
After Norah Jones left, Elliot walked up to Layla and grabbed her wrist.
Layla didn't even think about it, she pushed him away!
At the same time, Layla threw the necklace in her hand to the ground!
Layla: "If you let Norah Jones come to the house in the future, I'll move out!"
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Mrs. Cooper immediately stepped forward and stood in the middle of the father and daughter.
"Layla, why are you so angry? Norah Jones came here specially to give you a birthday present. She has never been to the house before. Have you misunderstood something?" Mrs. Cooper held Layla's hand in both hands, hoping Layla can calm down.
Layla: "I didn't misunderstand! Norah Jones is not a good thing! Neither is Elliot!"
"How can you say that about your father? Layla, what happened? There are no outsiders at home, so just say it directly." Mrs. Cooper subconsciously felt that Layla's fire must have something to do with Avery.
Before Avery returned to Aryadelle, although Layla often gave Elliot a face, the father and daughter had never had such a big fight.
"This necklace…it's a set! My mother bought it for me. They took it away!" Layla pointed to the necklace on the ground, vented the anger in her heart, and then accused Elliot, "It's all your fault that my mother divorced you. You made my mother wrong before. Now you also make my mother wrong!"
Elliot was stunned.
This set of jewelry was bought by Norah Jones at the auction.
Elliot was in Bridgedale at the time. Norah Jones called him and asked him to help the owner of the auction house to leave this set of jewelry.
Could it be that Avery also wanted to buy this set of jewelry at that time?
After Mrs. Cooper understood why Layla was angry, she immediately turned to look at Elliot.
Mrs. Cooper: "Sir, please explain to Layla! You must not know that Avery also wants to buy this set of jewelry, right? Otherwise, how could you help Norah Jones?"
Elliot pursed his thin lips, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his face turned gloomy.
"He has a guilty conscience!" Layla said angrily, looking at the direction her father was leaving, "Grandma Cooper, Norah Jones will come to our house in the future, please don't let her in!"
Mrs. Cooper took Layla and sat down on the sofa: "Layla, your father must not know that your mother also wants to buy that set of jewelry. Otherwise, he will not help outsiders. Your father and your mother are both tough-tempered, so it is easy Quarrel. As their daughter, you should mediate the misunderstanding between them, instead of making things worse."
Elliot returned to the bedroom and closed the door. He took out his mobile phone, found Avery's number, and dialed it.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1842
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1842
Layla said that Elliot made Avery wronged. If what Layla said was true, then Elliot did make Avery wronged. Although he didn't know that Avery also wanted to buy this set of jewelry.
After the phone was dialed, it took a few seconds and was connected.
"Hello." Avery's voice came calmly.
"A week ago, you cursed me to death, is it because I helped Norah Jones buy the set of jewelry you wanted?" Elliot pointed out the question, "Layla told me just now."
Avery was stunned. She had told her daughter before that she should not tell him.
Unexpectedly, Layla said it.
"Yeah, are you trying to laugh at me for being naive?" Avery retorted.
"I'm sorry." Elliot apologized immediately after her voice was settled, "I didn't know you wanted to buy that set of jewelry. Norah Jones didn't tell me."
Avery: "Don't blame Norah Jones. She wasn't there at the time, so I don't know. I was the one who made the bid with her assistant."
Elliot wanted to explain to her that Norah Jones seldom asked him for help, so he only helped Norah Jones last time.
But Elliot felt that even if he explained it, Avery might not like to hear it.
"Layla is very angry, can you come over?" Elliot moved out of his daughter, "I want to apologize to her, but she is angry when she sees me now."
Avery was a little embarrassed. She didn't really want to go to his house, but thinking that her daughter was angry at the moment, she wanted to coax her.
Foster family.
Mrs. Cooper persuaded Layla bitterly.
"I know you must like your father a little in your heart. If you don't like him at all, you can go to your mother and brother at any time, but you don't. You have been by your father's side for more than two years, and you can see very clearly what kind of person your father is. He doesn't interact with other women, and he goes home to accompany you and Robert after work every day. If he divorced your mother because of empathy, how could he treat you and Robert so good? "
Layla pursed her mouth and lowered her head, feeling sullen in her heart and didn't speak.
Just now she yelled at her father's name and reprimanded him, but he silently admitted without saying a word. She was satisfied with his response.
If Dad had quarreled with her just now, she would have left home by now.
"In my opinion, there is a misunderstanding between your father and mother that has not been resolved. They must have each other in their hearts." Mrs. Cooper saw that Layla seemed to be listening to her, so she said, "If your parents can Reconcile, you and Robert don't have to separate from Hayden. Why don't you try to help them reconcile?"
Layla pouted: "My mom doesn't like him anymore. I asked my mom before."
"Don't look at what your mother said. The two of them got divorced. How could someone so proud of your mother admit that she still likes your father?" Mrs. Cooper said, "The way your mother looks at your father can't deceive anyone."
Hours later, Avery drove over.
Elliot saw Avery driving into the yard on the second floor and immediately went downstairs.
"Mommy!" Layla saw her mother in the living room and ran out like a bird.
Avery pushed open the car door and got out of the car, holding a cake in her hand.
"Mom, are you coming for my birthday?" Layla asked, looking at the cake.
"Norah Jones came to give you a birthday present today. Does your father plan to celebrate your birthday today?" Avery asked back.
"He didn't tell me again. As soon as I came back and saw Norah Jones, I immediately became angry." Layla took her mother's arm and whispered, "I quarreled with my father."
Avery: "Your father called me now, and said you made a big fuss."
"Oh… did he call you here?" Layla remembered what Mrs. Cooper said, so she asked, "You come when he calls you?"
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1843
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1843
Avery blushed: "Mom is worried about you! But I think you are very happy now."
"Because I drove the annoying people away! I won't let her come to our house again!" Layla took Avery mom into the living room.
Elliot stood in the living room, watching the mother and daughter come in.
There was a smile on Layla's face, as if the unpleasantness had never happened before.
Elliot had already called Norah Jones and told her not to come here in the future.
And the necklace was also delivered to her by the driver.
Norah Jones apologized to Elliot on the phone and told him that she did not know that Avery was also at the auction that day.
Elliot believed that she didn't lie, but he felt very sorry for his daughter and Avery for this result.
"Avery, did you still buy a cake?" Mrs. Cooper saw Avery and immediately said enthusiastically, "If you stay for dinner tonight, let's celebrate Layla's birthday in advance!"
"Mom, if you don't say anything today, If you want to do something, then stay with me here." Layla coquettishly, "Let's go and get Hayden back later."
"Okay, Where is Robert?" Avery asked.
"He went to Aunt Shea's house. We'll bring Aunt Shea over for dinner later." Layla suggested, "Just give me a birthday in advance!"
How could Avery refuse to speak after her daughter said so?
"Then I'll go prepare the dishes now." Mrs. Cooper smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately walked towards the kitchen.
In the living room, there were only Avery, Layla, and Elliot's family left. They should have been harmonious, but at this moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Layla wouldn't be so awkward if Layla hadn't had such a heated fight with her dad.
"Layla, it's your father's fault." Elliot took the initiative to apologize to his daughter.
"What's wrong with you? You make it clear." Layla saw that Dad had such a good attitude, so she had to make a move.
Avery saw that her daughter's attitude was a little aggressive, so she pulled Layla, and said, "Layla, don't be angry. Talk well."
"I can't talk to him properly. I don't think he knows what's wrong with him." Although Layla was complaining, her tone was much calmer, "If he usually watched more The two idol dramas will not be disliked by us."
Avery looked at her daughter's serious appearance, and sighed in her heart, her daughter has really grown up!
She decided not to mind her own business and let her daughter teach Elliot a lesson.
"Dad, sit down and let's have a good chat." Layla looked at Elliot with a serious face.
Hearing this 'Dad', Elliot could only endure the helplessness of being ripped off.
Elliot sat down on the sofa opposite Avery and accepted his daughter's trial.
"You said, do you like Norah Jones? Do you want to marry Norah Jones?" Layla asked.
"Don't like it, don't." Elliot replied.
"In that case, why are you helping her? Before in Bridgedale, you ate alone with her. It's not right for you to do this!" Layla continued aggressively.
Elliot sighed in his heart: "I didn't eat alone with her. Robert was there at the time. Halfway through the meal, Robert was sleepy, so I asked him to go back to the room first. As for help, your uncle Chad will occasionally ask for help. I'll help, as long as I can…"
Layla: "How can Norah Jones compare to Uncle Chad?! Not only are you wrong, you don't know how to repent!"
Elliot: "…"
Elliot saw that the corners of Avery's mouth rise, is she watching the fun?
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1844
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1844
"Layla, Dad changed. Dad will not eat alone with Aunt Norah Jones in the future. He will not let her come to our house." Elliot assured his daughter, "In the future, if she asks me for help, I will say I can't help. "
It's almost the same!" Layla looked at her father's eyes, and it was a little pleasing to the eye.
"Avery, I hope you can tell me about anything in the future." Elliot coaxed his daughter, so he looked at Avery, who was sitting next to him and playing with her mobile phone, "For example, a week ago, you know that I helped Norah Jones rob him. After the jewelry you want to buy is gone, you can contact me as soon as possible. Whatever you call me, as long as you tell me what happened, I will thank you. "
Avery didn't expect that he would suddenly speak to himself and also Put on a righteous look.
"You help Norah Jones buy things, why should I contact you?" Avery asked back.
"If you don't contact me, I will help Norah Jones steal what you want. Do you think I know the truth now, will I feel better?" Elliot looked at her with deep eyes, "Avery, I am with you. Norah Jones is just an ordinary colleague relationship, I will not deliberately make you and your children angry because of her."
Elliot explained his relationship with Norah Jones clearly and clearly, if Avery talked about his relationship with Norah Jones again, It was her problem.
"Does Norah Jones know that you are in such a hurry to clear your relationship with her in front of us?" Avery couldn't hold back and teased Elliot.
"Does she know that I don't know and don't care, but I see that you seem to care about my private life." Elliot teased her in return.
Avery changed her face suddenly: "self-love."
"Avery, I heard that you got a doctorate." Elliot chatted with her, "Did you find a young boyfriend by the way?"
Elliot: "You are so gossipy."
"Looking at your appearance, you probably didn't look for it." Elliot said. "If you did, you would definitely not care about me and Norah Jones."
"Shut up!" Avery glared at Elliot, "If you insist on thinking that I care about you, then I also care about when you are unlucky."
"What good will my unlucky do for you?" Elliot asked sincerely.
"In this way, I can take advantage of your troubles and take custody of the two children." Avery answered truthfully, "I haven't forgotten what you did to me before. So you must not be selfish."
"How am I right? Yours?" Elliot murmured, "You gave up the Tate Industries. You gave up, can't I make it bigger?"
"No matter what you do, you can find a good one reason for yourself." Avery looked at him calmly and sarcastically said, "Including the reasons for our divorce, including the things you did later. What your daughter said to you just now, you said you were wrong, you apologize to your daughter. It's not from your sincerity. How could you make a mistake? You are Elliot, Elliot who is high above."
Elliot's face suddenly gloomy.
Layla glanced at Dad, then at Mom.
She knew they were arguing again, but they didn't quarrel without swearing or yelling.
It made Layla very embarrassed, not knowing how to interject, nor how to persuade him to stop.
"Layla! I cooked your favorite sparerib soup, come and try it." In the kitchen, Mrs. Cooper shouted.
Layla immediately got up from the sofa.
"Mom, if he bullies you, call me." Layla whispered to her mother, then walked towards the kitchen.
As soon as his daughter left, Elliot also stood up from the sofa.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1845
Avery thought Elliot was going to walk away, but as a result, Elliot walked over to her and sat down.
Avery didn't even think about it, she moved to the side.
"What are you doing?" Avery looked at his familiar face close at hand, but she couldn't guess what he was thinking.
"Why did you say that I didn't apologize to my daughter just now?" Elliot voice was a little lower than before, "This is still me. When I was away, how did you tell your daughter about me?"
"What's in your heart? I'll say what I want. How confident are you to think that I will say good things about you in front of the child?" Avery raised her lips and sneered, "It's not impossible if you want me to praise you. You give me custody of the child, I can praise you to the sky."
The calm on Elliot's face suddenly disappeared.
Elliot: "Avery, you said that no matter what I do, I will find reasons for myself. When did I find reasons for myself? No matter what I do, I am worthy of my conscience."
"Conscience? You talk to me about conscience? You dare to say you have no humility towards me?" Avery said coldly.
"Haze is our daughter. She was so dangerous at the time. What was wrong with me going to her? You have an accident with your eyes and you are blind. You tell others that I know, but I really don't know. Avery, I believe you I won't be wronged for no reason, so I adjusted the recording of our call at that time."
Avery stared into his eyes, trying to see if he had a guilty conscience.
"I have a recording on my phone, do you want to listen?" Elliot took out his phone, "Our last call before you filed for divorce. Because I really don't know what happened to your eyes, I'm very angry about your divorce. "
I've heard it." Avery glanced at his cell phone, "Elliot, is your recording really okay?"
"I asked someone from the communication company to tune it up. When I was talking to you on the phone, I heard the same thing." Elliot held the phone tightly, "I couldn't hear your voice when we were halfway through talking. The recording also shows that you lost your voice after two sentences."
"Are you sure?" Avery frowned tightly, "Are you sure you didn't hear me at the time? Are you sure your recording is true?!"
"If I lie, if I make a false recording, when will you curse me? If I die, I will die anytime." Elliot swore to her.
Avery looked at his determined eyes, her heart beating violently.
Is what Elliot said true?
Elliot doesn't look like a lie.
"Avery, you hate me so much, is it because you told me on the phone that you had an accident with your eyes?" Elliot guessed countless times that the reason for the deterioration of their relationship was only this reason, which was the closest to the truth, "I don't know. Is there a problem with your phone or my phone, I really can't hear what you said after that."
"I listened to that recording. In the recording, your voice is there throughout the whole process, but there is no me behind it. I heard it." Avery took a breath, "If there is really a problem with my phone, it must be my phone."
He thought of this misunderstanding, and it was only now that Elliot was stabbed in his heart.
Thinking that Avery couldn't see at the time and called Elliot for help, but Elliot didn't know it, and resolutely embarked on the flight to Yonroeville, how helpless and heartache would Avery feel?
"But… there is no problem with my mobile phone at all!" Avery picked up her mobile phone and said sadly, "I used to use this mobile phone. I still use it now. For more than two years, this mobile phone has never had any problems."
Avery said this to prove that she should have no problems with her mobile phone at the time.
Elliot couldn't hear her at the time, either he was lying or something else.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1846
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1846
At this time, at the gate of the courtyard, a blue car slowly stopped.
After a while, the bodyguard entered the living room and reported to Elliot, "Boss, Miss Norah Jones is here. Said that she's looking for Avery."
Avery immediately looked out the door when she heard this.
She and Norah Jones have not met formally yet.
Now Norah Jones came to Elliot's house to look for her, which was very strange.
Elliot didn't say a word, and strode outside.
Avery followed behind Elliot. She wanted to know why Norah Jones came to her.
Norah Jones held a large jewelry box in her hand.
The moment Avery saw the box in her hand, she knew the purpose of her coming.
"Elliot, Miss Tate." Norah Jones saw the two of them walking from the room together and looking at how they were a good match. It was impossible not to be jealous at all.
"Norah Jones, I made it very clear to you on the phone." Elliot frowned, his voice unpleasant, "Don't come to my house in the future. We should not talk about anything other than official business."
Elliot's tone can be described as Is very welcome.
If Avery heard what Elliot said, Norah would definitely turn around and leave without thinking about it. But Norah did not do that.
The expression on Norah Jones's face did not change.
"Elliot, I didn't come to you. I didn't plan to go into your house." After Norah Jones finished speaking, she looked at Avery, "Miss Tate, I'm very sorry. I didn't know you wanted to buy this set of jewelry. Since now Say yes, then this set of jewelry is still for you. It belongs to you. I think this set of jewelry is very suitable for Layla. You can buy it and give it to Layla. This is the invoice I bought at the time, I know you won't be accepted for free, so you can just give me the amount above."
Before Avery could react, Elliot cut off the invoice in Norah Jones's hand.
"If that's the case, then it's hard for you to make a trip." After speaking, Elliot took the jewelry from Norah Jones's hand.
This is what Avery fancy and was going to give to Layla before, presumably this set of jewelry is really beautiful.
Elliot wants to make his daughter happy.
Since Norah Jones is willing to transfer, it would be better.
"I'll call you the money later." Elliot shoved the jewelry box into Avery's hand, and said to Norah coldly and politely, "Go away!"
Norah nodded, as if not aggrieved at all, and turned around car, drive away.
Avery was shocked by Norah Jones's strong psychological endurance. She has heard all kinds of remarks about Norah Jones. When everyone talks about Norah Jones, they will say how much Norah Jones likes Elliot.
But with Norah Jones's attitude just now, Avery really can't see how much Norah Jones likes Elliot.
It was even less obvious that Elliot had any personal feelings for Norah Jones.
Entering the living room, the two confront Layla.
Layla's eyes looked out, trying to see what was going on outside.
"Norah Jones brought the jewelry." Avery explained to her daughter, "She's left."
"Oh, what does she mean?" Layla looked at the jewelry box in her mother's hand and said coldly, "I just don't want her present!"
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1847
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1847
"Nora intends to sell this set of jewelry to me." Avery put the jewelry box on the coffee table, then reached out to Elliot and asked for the invoice, "Give me the invoice."
Elliot glanced at the invoice.
$10 million.
This money is not a small amount.
Elliot: "I'll give her the money later…"
"Nora sold it to me, not to you." Avery walked up to him and took the invoice from his hand, "$10 million … She is so proud to spend so much money on gifts for Layla. Does she usually give gifts to Layla, but is it so expensive?"
Elliot shook his head: "No. Last year she gave Layla a dress. I looked at the price. It's only a few hundred thousand dollars."
"Hundreds of thousands?! Do you think a few hundred thousand is cheap? You dare to accept such an expensive gift from someone who gave your child for no reason!" Avery glared glanced at him.
Elliot pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
The gift was received by Layla, not through Elliot's hands at all.
He took a peek at the price tag after Layla had received the gift.
"Mom, I received the birthday present she gave me last year. The dress she gave me was very beautiful, I didn't think it was very expensive…" How did Layla know that a dress cost hundreds of thousands.
"It's okay, just accept it. Your father must have returned the gift." Avery took a deep breath and returned to her daughter with the receipt, "Layla, look at the jewelry, if you like it, mother will pay the money to Norah Jones."
Layla opened the box and glanced at it.
When Layla looked at the pictures before, She thought this set of jewelry was very beautiful, but now She sees it with her own eyes and She thinks it is very beautiful, but she doesn't like it that much.
"Mom, it's so expensive…I don't want it." Layla didn't want her mother to spend so much for herself, so she glanced at the jewelry and closed the box.
"Baby, it's fine as long as you like it. Mom can afford it." Avery reopened the box, "Mom will put it on for you, try it."
"$10 million! With so much money, you can buy a lot of jewelry…" Layla said, looking at Dad, "Dad, you pay."
Elliot responded and immediately transferred $10 million to Norah Jones.
"Elliot, I said I can afford it, who do you look down on!" Avery said in a sour tone when she saw that Elliot had paid the bill, "I'll transfer the money to you later. This is a gift I bought for my daughter, I have to pay for it myself."
Elliot was stunned: "Didn't we just make the misunderstanding clear?"
"Have I accepted your explanation?" Avery retorted, "Even if you didn't lie, it was me who misunderstood you, and we already divorced. Friendss still have to settle accounts, we are not friends, we have nothing to do with each other now."
Elliot saw her attitude was so strong, and said, "Then give me the money."
"Well." Avery take Layla to look in the mirror.
Avery: "Baby, you look so good in this set of jewelry. Money is spent, don't think it's expensive, mom can really afford it."
Layla whispered: "But you don't have a job now, if I spend all your money What should you do?"
"Mom will do what she can." Avery said, glanced outside the bathroom door, and lowered her voice, "Mom has money, don't tell your dad. Because it's mom's secret…"
Layla opened her mouth in an 'O' shape, looking surprised: "Okay mom, I won't tell him."
Avery: "Well. Tell mom now, do you like this set of jewelry?"
"Yes." A happy smile finally bloomed on Layla's face. "But Mom, Dad just said that you made the misunderstanding clear with you. Did you really make it clear? Did you blame Dad?"
"Your father made it clear, but I don't know if what he said is true. If I accept what he said, I can't explain it myself. I don't want to blindly listen to him, but I don't hate him as much as I used to. It's over." Avery didn't want to let the grievance between himself and Elliot affect the child, "Layla, if you think he is a good father, then you shouldn't hate him because of your mother."
"Look at his performance!" Layla said, "I think he wants to chase you again."
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1848
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1848
"Layla, how did you see it? Why didn't mom see it?" Avery really didn't see it. After all, after she came over, what she said to Elliot was serious business.
Layla said firmly: "He always stares at you. If he doesn't like you, why is he staring at you? When Aunt Norah Jones came to our house, he didn't stare at Aunt Norah Jones very much."
"Layla, you can't just look at whether you like someone or not. I was confronting him just now, and of course I will look at him." Avery said, "I looked at him just now, do you want to say that I like him too?"
"Oh… Mom, don't you like him at all?" Layla was a little puzzled, "My dad is still handsome, right?"
Avery couldn't help laughing: "It's okay! But sometimes there are no feelings, it has nothing to do with looks. If two people quarrel frequently, no matter how good-looking the other person is, they will only get bored."
Layla: "But you two didn't quarrel just now."
"I can't quarrel with him anymore." Avery said, " All the chips he thought he could threaten me were ineffective."
"Mom, do you really want to teach him a lesson?" Layla looked at her mother and asked, "If there is anything I can do to help, just tell me. I'm definitely on your side!"
"Layla, your father and mother are adults. Even if I want to teach Elliot a lesson, I will teach him a lesson myself, and I definitely don't need your help." Avery said, taking her daughter from the bathroom come out.
Elliot knew that the two of them were whispering inside, but he didn't hear what they said.
After Layla came out of the bathroom, she went to the kitchen to show her jewelry to Mrs. Cooper.
Avery walked towards the living room and wanted to transfer the money to him.
"Why did you buy such an expensive birthday present for your daughter?" Elliot asked her after giving her the card number, "It was an auction. If Norah Jones had bid with you at the time, what was your reserve price?"
In his impression, Avery's spending money is definitely not like this.
Not only does she not spend money herself, but she also doesn't like his spending money like running water.
But now, it's just a birthday present, and Avery dares to spend tens of millions.
"People can change." After Avery handed the money to him, she replied, "When I first met you, I was a girl who was not deep in the world. Elliot, don't look at me now with the eyes of the past."
"You are now?" Elliot looked at her as familiar with facial features as before, and found it hard to accept her change. "What are you like now?"
"That's what you see now." Avery didn't want to continue with him look at each other. She always feels that his eyes are like an abyss, and if he continues to look at it, She's afraid it will be bad.
Avery took an apple from the fruit bowl and took a bite.
"Didn't you wash it?" Elliot took out a fruit knife from under the cabinet and handed it to her.
Avery embarrassedly swallowed the apple in her mouth, and then began to peel it: "you went to see Hayden, how was it?"
Elliot: "Did you not ask Hayden?"
Avery: "He didn't say it, I didn't ask."
Elliot: "He has grown a lot taller and looks like an adult. But his temper is still the same…"
Avery felt that she couldn't say anything good, so she turned her head to look at him.
Elliot stopped immediately and changed his words: "He still hates me as always. But he is good to Robert. He bought Robert a gift. He is also willing to talk to Robert."
"Of course, Robert is his younger brother. He has no grudge against Robert." Avery continued to peel.
"Do I have a grudge against him? Layla can forgive me, why can't Hayden?" Elliot was willing to hold both Layla and Hayden in the palm of his hand. But Hayden didn't give him the slightest chance.
"Do you think that I must have spoken ill of you in front of Hayden?" Avery teased.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1849
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1849
"No. No matter if you speak ill of me in front of Hayden, Hayden hates me." Elliot's heart was like a mirror, "When we didn't divorce before, you couldn't make your son forgive me. He has himself and my thoughts are not affected by the outside world."
"You are wrong. Hayden can't naturally hate you because you make me sad again and again, and he thinks you are unreliable." Avery corrected him, "but you don't have to be sad, after all Robert likes you so much, so you should be content."
Elliot: "You can really comfort people. Hayden is my son after all, how could I not care about him at all? I gave him a card. He accepted it. But I checked and he didn't spend the money for the time being."
Avery: "…"
Elliot saw her stop and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Why did you give him money? He is with you. Are you saying he is short of money?" Avery felt that Hayden must be angry.
"Chad told me that he has a lot of expenses. I'm afraid he's out of money, so I'm too embarrassed to ask you for it." Elliot expressed his thoughts, "What's your expression? Do you blame me? I'll pay you alimony, don't you? Hayden is my son, and I should give him the money."
"I'm really touched." Avery put down the fruit knife and took a bite of the apple, "You are such a good father. Layla said in the bathroom just now that you are a good father. "
Elliot: "Really?"
"Can I lie to you?" Avery glanced at him, "My daughter also said that you've been staring at me and you must want to chase me."
Elliot: "…"
Elliot seemed to be knocked out, and Avery felt much lighter.
"I think at our age, we should live more freely." Avery shared her feelings with him, "Let's let go of past grievances and grievances when we should. Enjoy in time. Who knows which will come first, tomorrow or the accident. "
Elliot understood her overtones.
What Avery means is that even if she chase after him, she will not promise you.
Because she wants to be free.
In the afternoon, Wesley came to Foster's house with Shea and two children.
Seeing her sister, Robert immediately turned into a sticky spirit, wishing he could hang on her sister.
"Brother! You don't even want to hug your sister! Your sister will laugh at you!" Layla hugged Robert for a while and felt tired, so she forced her brother to the ground.
"Call Tammy and the others too!" Avery wanted more people and more lively, "and Gwen."
"I'll call Jun, you call Gwen." Elliot divided the work with Avery.
Avery: "Okay."
The two went to call.
Layla followed Wesley's gaze, looked at her mother's back, and said playfully, "My parents cleared up the misunderstanding today. My mother said that I don't hate my father so much."
"That's great." Wesley said, "Your parents are reconciled, and their three children can be reunited."
Layla: "They didn't reconcile! They just made the misunderstanding clear, but they still have their own ways."
Wesley stunned.
"My mom doesn't like my dad very much anymore." Layla leaned into Wesley's ear and said regretfully.
In the evening, everyone gathered at Foster's house to celebrate Layla's birthday in advance.
"If only Layla had her birthday every day." Chad sighed looking at the long-lost smile on Elliot's face.
"Do you want to come over to eat every day?" Ben teased.
"Brother Ben, even if I want to eat, I'll go to your place." Chad whispered in Ben Schaffer's ear when he said this, "I saw the two of them looked at each other just now, and there was no murderous light in their eyes."

Ben Schaffer didn't pay attention to them, so after listening to Chad's words, he looked at them: "You two are reconciled?"
Elliot: "Well."
Avery: "No."
The two said in unison, but the answers were different.
In an instant, the atmosphere of joy was replaced by embarrassment.
Elliot and Avery looked at each other.
Probably did not expect each other's answers to be different.
"When will we be reconciled?" Avery asked.
Elliot: "Isn't it clear?"
Avery: "To be clear means to be clear, but it does not mean that we are reconciled."
"In your opinion, what does reconciliation mean? In my opinion, reconciliation means that we will no longer be for the past. We quarreled about something." Elliot expressed his understanding.
Avery said 'oh': "Then according to your opinion, we are indeed reconciled."
Seeing that the two of them reached a consensus, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"In your opinion, what does reconciliation mean?" Elliot asked, "Remarriage?"
Avery got goosebumps when she heard 'Remarriage'.
Could this be a stress response?
"In my opinion, reconciliation means a good relationship. It has nothing to do with remarriage or not." Avery looked at his face and said word by word, "Now for dinner, if you want to argue about this issue, we will talk about it in private."
With so many eyes watching, Elliot didn't feel ashamed but Avery couldn't afford to lose this person.
Elliot took his eyes away from her, and took the chopsticks to serve Robert with vegetables.
"Mom." Robert suddenly picked up his head and shouted.
When Avery heard Robert's cry, her heart softened, and she immediately looked at her son: "Baby, are you calling Mom?"
Robert blinked her eyes and said clearly: "Is mom going to sleep at our house today?"
Avery Confused by this question.
"Brother, why did you say this to your mother?" Layla sat between her mother and brother, and because her brother asked this question, Layla poked her brother's little face with his hand.
"Sister, if you like mom, then let's let mom sleep in our house!" Robert said, looking at his father again, "Dad, how are you?"
Robert is really Elliot's good baby! No matter what, tell Dad.
"Elliot, shouldn't you be the one who taught Robert to talk like this?" Tammy felt that this move was too clever.
Avery likes Layla and Robert so much, and now facing Robert's request, she is probably hard to refuse.
Because Avery hadn't seen Robert in the past three years, she was full of guilt towards Robert.
Elliot shook his head: "I didn't teach Robert to talk like that."
"Father promised me." Robert remembered something, "Father promised to let mother come to sleep at our house."
Elliot did promise his son that. But he didn't think his son still remembered this!
"Mom!" Robert raised his voice and called Avery softly.
