When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1891
"Oh…is he going to find Uncle Mike on vacation?" Layla's eyes lit up. Because she planned to take her brother to Bridgedale to find her brother.
If Uncle Chad also goes to Bridgedale, they can go to Bridgedale together.
"I didn't ask him." Elliot got up from the dining chair and held his daughter's hand, "Did you have fun playing in the water?"
Layla: "Robert is happier. I think it's too childish. Dad, I'm going to take a bath."
"Yeah." Elliot walked over to his son after seeing his daughter back to the room.
Robert became a drowning chicken. His dark eyes stared at his father, his mouth pouted, and he said in disgust, "Dad stinks."
This was the first time Elliot drank so much alcohol in his own home after Robert.
"Then you sleep with Grandma Cooper tonight. You should also go take a bath." After Elliot finished speaking, Mrs. Cooper took Robert to take a bath.
Elliot returned to the dining room, Chad scratched his head, reached out and rubbed his face.
"Are you awake?" Elliot teased, "Your alcohol intake is getting worse and worse." Chad scratched his head: "I must be too sleepy. I didn't sleep well last night, and I didn't have a lunch break today."
"The driver will take you back." Elliot called the driver.
"Boss, is it possible that it's not that my drinking has gotten worse, but that your drinking has gotten better?" Chad forced himself to regain his dignity, "I remember you used to drink two glasses…"
Elliot: "You used to be too. Do n't drink three glasses and pour it."
Chad: "I was really sleepy and fell asleep. If you don't believe me, let's keep drinking."
"I'm sleepy. You go back." After Elliot finished speaking, he went upstairs and went back to his room.
Chad was sent home by the driver. Because he slept on his stomach for an hour at Elliot's house, Chad was very awake now.
Chad called Mike.
"My boss asked me to drink tonight. I poured it after three drinks. He even laughed at me for not drinking enough." Chad was a little aggrieved, so he complained to Mike.
"When I go back next time, see if I can't drink him." Mike said, he couldn't help but say, "You pour three glasses? It's really getting more and more rubbish."
Chad: "I was so sleepy that I fell asleep. I'm not drunk."
Mike: "Oh, you're so sleepy, you went to be a thief last night?"
"What are you a thief? I'm so busy right now. Isn't it time to take a vacation? A lot of work has to be dealt with before the vacation!" Chad pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "My boss told me tonight that he wants to chase Avery back for Layla."
"Did Elliot tell you how he plans to chase?" Mike asked.
"He was very defensive about me. He probably thought he told me, and I'll tell you." Chad was a little sentimental, "My boss was not like this before. He used to believe in me."
Mike: "It's okay, you still have me."
Chad: "You can't be trusted! You listen to Avery's words the most, and you don't tell me a lot of things. I'm not human now!"
"Hey…you just get used to it." Mike really wanted to comfort him, but after thinking about it, it is better to make him stronger.
In a flash, two days passed.
Ben Schaffer's parents returned to Aryadelle. After Ben Schaffer picked up his parents at the airport, he took them to the restaurant he ordered.
Ben Schaffer called Elliot the night before and made an appointment with him to meet today.
As Gwen's brother, Elliot met with Ben Schaffer's parents on behalf of Gwen's elders.
In the restaurant, Gwen and Elliot were sitting at the table.
There are only the two of them in the private room now.
The awkward Gwen clasped her toes on the ground. If she knew it earlier, she would go to the airport with Ben Schaffer to pick up people.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1892
"Didn't you say that your job comes first, so don't you think about getting married for the time being? Why did you suddenly figure it out?" Elliot asked after drinking a glass of water.
"It's just a meal together, don't think too much." Gwen replied.
"I've seen my parents, is it still a long way to get married?" Elliot said calmly, without any turbulence, "You'd better think clearly, whether to marry Ben Schaffer. It's too late to regret it now."
"Do you regret it after eating this meal today? Is it too late?" Gwen asked back.
"You can regret it anytime. You can get a divorce if you get married. It's just that I have a special relationship with Ben Schaffer, and I hope you are more careful." Elliot clenched his fingers holding the water glass, "She really wants to be at this age. The marriage is settled…"
"How do you know that he won't cheat after marriage?" Gwen retorted him, "Just because you have a good relationship with Ben Schaffer, you think Ben Schaffer is fine with everything. "
"Because I have a good relationship with him, he will look at me for my sake and will never treat you badly." Elliot, sitting here today as Gwen's relative, felt that there were some things that he needed to remind her.
"Do you want me to thank you?" Gwen dismissed, "Even if he treats me badly in the future, I won't cry and beg him to treat me well. I won't give up my job, I will support myself. From your failed marriage with Avery, I know that men are unreliable."
Elliot said, "Gwen! I'm your brother, if you think Avery treats you better, you can ask Avery to be your elder!"
"Avery has always treated me better than you." Gwen was frightened by his roar, but she held back her fear and talked back to him, "Avery never yells at me, and never dislikes me. What about you? Before I had this decent job, you didn't want to recognize your sister at all. Now that I can support myself and find a boyfriend, you finally appeared in front of me as a brother!"
Elliot listened to her accusation, his heart was cold.
It's true that Elliot didn't greet Gwen like Avery did, but he definitely didn't despise her as she said.
The private room door was suddenly pushed open, and Ben Schaffer walked in with his parents.
Ben Schaffer saw the faces of Gwen and Elliot at a glance, and immediately said with a smile: "There is a traffic jam on the road, so I came a little late. Are you hungry?" Turning his head, he said to the waiter, "Serve the food."
After that, Ben arranged for his parents to be seated.
Before Ben sat down, Gwen immediately walked to the seat next to him and sat down.
Ben Schaffer was very happy that Gwen took the initiative to come to him, but! Gwen didn't show respect to Elliot, which made Ben Schaffer very embarrassed.
Now, Ben Schaffer, along with Ben Schaffer's parents and Gwen, are sitting next to each other, while Elliot is sitting alone on the other side.
This scene didn't look like they came to eat, but like the four of them came to interrogate Elliot.
"Gwen, did you quarrel with your brother?" Ben Schaffer asked Gwen in a low voice.
Gwen pretended to be casual and said, "He told me not to marry you."
Ben Schaffer and his parents, all were stunned.
"This, this is impossible, hahaha!" Ben Schaffer used laughter to hide his panic.
He regarded Elliot as his own brother, how could his own brother stab him in the back?
"I just let her think clearly, don't make a decision in a hot head, and go back on it after a while." Elliot explained under the watchful eyes of Ben Schaffer and Ben Schaffer's parents.
Ben Schaffer breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew you would definitely not stop me from being with Gwen."
"Who doesn't get married by impulsiveness? The more you make me think about it, the easier it is for me to go back on it." Gwen answered.
"Uh…Gwen, what you said makes sense." Juniper said with a smile, "but even if you agreed to marry Ben Schaffer because you were too hot-headed, I think it's fine. Anyway, you should get married first. Now, have a child, if you don't like each other and get a divorce in the future, it's fine… We will definitely set you free."
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1893
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1893
Juniper's attitude was clear, she just wants them to have a child for the Schaffer family.
Elliot's face suddenly turned gloomy.
Ben Schaffer glared at his mother.
Juniper immediately added: "Of course, what I just said was the worst outcome. Of course, I hope that Gwen and Ben Schaffer can grow old together and love each other forever. Ben Schaffer, if Gwen promises to marry you, you must be nice to Gwen. If you dare If you bully Gwen, if you don't need Elliot to come forward, I and your dad will break your leg first"
"I know." After Ben Schaffer agreed, he looked at Gwen, "Gwen, I know we are together, I am the one who climbed high. After we get married, I will treat you more well. The reason why I called Elliot here today is to let him testify. If I treat you badly and make you wronged in the future, punish me how you want to punish me."
A blush appeared on Gwen's face.
This old man, when it comes to love words, one set after another, her heart is full of fawns, and her heart is full of joy.
The unhappiness when quarreling with Elliot was instantly cured.
Seeing her shyness, Ben Schaffer immediately took out the prepared diamond engagement ring and handed it to her. At the same time, Ben knelt down on one knee: "Gwen, marry me!"
Gwen looked at the diamond ring in front of her, her pierced eyes dazzled.
Such a big diamond ring is enough to witness Ben Schaffer's sincerity.
When she said that she was hot-headed, she was actually very clear-headed, but now, her head is starting to heat up.
Which woman can resist such temptation?
After a brief struggle, Gwen said the word, "Okay."
Ben Schaffer immediately took out the diamond ring and put it on Gwen's middle finger.
"Do you like the ring? I asked a female colleague from our department to help you choose it. I don't think you like the style. We will choose the wedding ring by ourselves." Ben Schaffer sat down in the chair and whispered to Gwen.
Gwen: "Oh…I think this kind of ring with no style is more attractive."
Ben: "As long as you like it."
…
After lunch, Elliot drove away. Just now, he witnessed Ben Schaffer and Gwen madly throwing dog food, and it was a lie to say that there was no fluctuation in their hearts.
He just remembered his sweet past with Avery more than once. When they are good, they are sweeter than Ben Schaffer and Gwen.
Starry River Villa.
After Avery finished lunch, she sorted out the fresh cut flowers from the garden and put them in a bottle.
The phone screen lit up, she took off her gloves, picked up her phone, and saw the photo sent by Gwen.
In the photo, Gwen wears a sparkling diamond ring on her finger, which is very eye-catching.
Avery immediately replied: [Ben Schaffer proposed to you?]
Gwen: [Hmm. He said today that the relatives of both parties would meet for a meal. I thought it was really just a meal, but he proposed to me.]
Avery: [Congratulations! The diamond ring is beautiful!]
Gwen: [I quarreled with Elliot today. He made me think hard so that I wouldn't regret it. His words stimulated me, so I agreed to Ben Schaffer's proposal.]
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1894
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1894
Avery couldn't help laughing: [Even if he didn't irritate you, you should agree to Ben Schaffer's proposal!]
Gwen: [Maybe not so fast. I really enjoy being pursued by him. What if he's less attentive after I promised to marry him?]
Avery: [Hahahaha…]
Gwen: [Avery, you laughed so hard that I was flustered.]
Avery: [Life certainly cannot be full of passion every day. In fact, ordinary days are the safest and best. Otherwise, if you think about the many quarrels after marriage, isn't it more scary?]
Gwen: [This is true. I just hope that after marrying him, I can continue to work. Otherwise, if I stay at home every day, I will definitely be cranky, and I will have to fight if I have nothing to do.]
Avery: [Enjoy the joy now, don't think so much.]
Gwen: [Hmm!]
…
Elliot planned to drive to Avery's house, but on the way, he received a call from Norah Jones.
He put on a bluetooth headset and answered the phone.
"Elliot, I heard that Avery is with the dream maker boss. Is this true?" Norah Jones asked.
Elliot: "Why are you asking this?"
Norah Jones hesitated, then said, "The friend I told you last time was actually a friend from nothing."
Elliot frowned, "Norah Jones, do you know what you're talking about? "
"Of course I know. Where are you now? Let's meet and talk about it!" Norah Jones knew that she was funny, like a clown, but even if she didn't say it, this matter might be used as a trick in the future.
That being the case, it is better to be honest.
Elliot turned the car around at the intersection ahead and headed for the Tate Industries.
Norah Jones was standing at the door of Tate Industries Building.
Elliot's car stopped in front of her. She walked to the passenger seat, opened the door, and got in the car.
"Take me a cup of coffee!" Norah Jones said lightly.
"When did you come back?" Elliot drove the car out.
"I came back yesterday." Norah Jones said, "Because of my meeting with B"illy, I was quite frightened, so I came back. I guess I won't want to go to Bridgedale any time soon.
"Has he disappeared? Why did you meet him?" Elliot wanted to know what method Norah had used.
"I'll show you the emails between me and him later." Norah Jones laughed at herself, "I asked a few friends from investment banks, and they spoke highly of the Dream Makers Group. I didn't want to give up, so I used Some self-righteous little things. Looking back now, I was really stupid. Maybe Billy was too stupid, so he asked me to meet."
Elliot drove the car to a nearby coffee shop and stopped.
The two entered the coffee shop, and after ordering two cups of coffee, Norah Jones opened the mailbox and handed it to Elliot.
"Elliot, don't laugh at me." Norah said awkwardly.
Elliot took her phone and glanced at the emails between Norah and Billy.
Soon, he returned her cell phone to Norah.
He didn't look carefully at the first long email Norah Jones sent Billy.
He didn't care about the process of Norah Jones's 'seducing' Billy, he just wanted to confirm whether Billy's mailbox was real.
"Dwarfism, looks ugly, is it true?" Elliot said in a low voice, "Is there no merit in him?"
Norah Jones: "His merit is probably his business acumen. Besides that, he is really bad. I have never seen a man uglier than him. Elliot, if a person does not willing to show his true face, in fact, it is easy to guess that he must be ugly and defective, other than that, there is no other reason."
Elliot's face became gloomy.
"So I went back to Aryadelle, and when I heard that Avery was in love with him, I was shocked and didn't close my eyes all night." Norah Jones continued.
"What kind of boyfriend Avery is looking for is none of your business?" Elliot said rudely.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1895
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1895
"I don't care what kind of man Avery is looking for. But I'm worried about you." Norah Jones said bluntly, "because I told you about Billy. If I didn't tell you, don't worry so much. You will suffer because of it."
"Isn't it just ugly and short in stature?" Elliot pretended to be calm, "I won't suffer because of it."
"It's not the most important thing. The important thing is that Billy is a pervert." Norah Jones's face was suddenly in pain, "A person like him who has the ability but is disabled can easily become mentally abnormal. He has a lot of messy and terrible pets. Such as snakes, lizards, mice, spiders… When I think about it now, my scalp is numb… He told me that if I want to be with him, I have to get used to his pets."
Elliot: "…"
"Probably Avery studied medicine, so she's not very afraid of these terrifying animals… But I think he's perverted, definitely more than that." Norah Jones continued, "I really don't know what Avery's taste is and find such a man to fall in love with."
Elliot clenched his fists, unable to continue listening.
He stood up abruptly: "Avery doesn't necessarily know about his perverted behavior! You don't need to confuse them! Avery hasn't married him yet!"
He settled down and strode out of the cafe.
Starry River Villa.
After Avery sent a message to Gwen, her right eyelid twitched from time to time.
She tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, so she got out of bed, went to the window, and pulled the curtains back.
The sky outside the window did not know when it changed.
The sun was still shining brightly at noon, but now it was overcast.
Layla called her last night and said she could finish her summer homework in a day at most. She decides to take Robert and go to Bridgedale to find Hayden for reunion. She didn't tell Elliot about the plan. She keeps it a secret too.
Avery could imagine that if Elliot found out that she had smuggled two children to Bridgedale, he would definitely blame her.
She was very confused, should she tell Elliot now?
Think what comes.
When the sky started to rain, a black Rolls Royce appeared in front of her yard.
She came downstairs immediately. Her cell phone rang at the time. but she didn't care. She walked directly to the door, took an umbrella, and strode into the rain.
Now that Elliot's here, she thinks it might be God's will.
She walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard and opened it.
She tried to raise the umbrella in her hand and hold an umbrella for Elliot.
Seeing her clumsy appearance, Elliot took the umbrella in her hand without hesitation.
"I have something to tell you." Avery followed Elliot step by step, speaking to him through the rhythmic voice of raindrops.
"I have something to tell you, too." Elliot slowed down, afraid that Avery wouldn't be able to keep up.
"Oh… let me speak first!" Avery was afraid that if Elliot spoke first, they would quarrel. If there was a fight, she might forget what she had to say.
Elliot: "Let's talk after entering the house."
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. When they entered the house, their shoes were wet.
Avery was the first to change into a pair of shoes.
"I plan to take Layla and Robert to Bridgedale to play for a few days in two days." Avery looked at the back of his head and told the story.
Elliot changed his shoes, turned around, and said without a trace of emotion: "No."
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1896
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1896
Elliot's refusal was so neat, making her furious.
He shouldn't have held an umbrella for him just now, and let him drown in soup.
Don't even open the door for him! Let him return without success, and she will not be angry with him.
But now that he has been put in, regret is useless.
However, how could Avery suffer this kind of grievance in vain?
"I didn't want to quarrel with you until I notified you in advance. If you said no, I'll take the child to Bridgedale too!" Avery said to Elliot, "This is Layla's plan. If you don't want the relationship with your daughter to deteriorate completely, You'd better leave us alone."
Elliot saw her blushing with anger, turned around and walked towards the living room without answering her.
"It's useless for you to escape." Avery followed him, "I have the right to visit, I can take the child to play anywhere, as long as I finally send the child back to your home…"
"You don't care how small Are you ready?" Elliot sat down on the sofa and looked at her at leisure, "Pour me a glass of water. I'm thirsty."
Avery: "???"
Pour water?
Haze?
"What happened to Haze? How's the corpse pit investigation?" Avery walked to him to inquire.
"I'm thirsty." Elliot looked at her anxious face, and his tone was calm.
"Drink your own water when you're thirsty!" Avery couldn't stand her uncle's attitude. "You don't know where to put my water glass, or where is my kettle? Are you really treating yourself as a guest?"
"I'm not the guest, am I the master?" Elliot said, getting up, "since you think I'm the master, then I'll drink water myself."
Avery was defeated by him! Push him back on the sofa immediately!
"You should still be a guest!"
Avery was reluctant and went to pour water for Elliot.
Soon, Avery brought a glass of water to Elliot.
"Elliot, don't go around in circles with me. What happened to Haze?" Avery asked worriedly, "Could it be that Haze is really in that corpse pit?"
Elliot held up the water glass and drank water slowly.
"Looking at how calm you are, you probably aren't. If you aren't, what are you going to say?" Avery had the urge to open his mouth and give him water.
Seeing that Avery was patient, Elliot put down the water glass.
"Don't you want to go to that corpse pit?" Elliot explained his intention. "I heard that the situation there is very complicated. I'm afraid that the local medical staff are not skilled enough to transfer the bones out."
Avery listened to Elliot. When Elliot said that, she sat upright and asked, "Where is the corpse pit?"
Elliot said, "Yonroeville. That corpse pit was used by the criminal gang who kidnapped and sold Haze to hide the corpse. It's only been exposed until now. I'm going to go there for a visit. Do you want to come with me?"
"Yes." Avery didn't hesitate to think, her voice was a little choked, "When are you going to leave?"
"Tonight." Elliot replied, "You have figured it out. If it passes, definitely you have to stay there for a while. You can't take your two children to Bridgedale."
Avery understood why Elliot said no at first.
Because Elliot was sure that Avery would go to Yonroeville with him to see the corpse pit.
"Elliot, can you stop going around in circles with me in the future? If you said you were going to see that corpse pit from the beginning, could I scold you just now?" Avery's cheeks were slightly hot.
"In the beginning, I said I had something to tell you, and you told me to tell you first." Elliot corrected.
Avery was stunned for a moment.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1897
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1897
"You go to Yonroeville with me, do you want to ask your boyfriend's opinion first?" Elliot tentatively asked.
Avery: "Why should I ask others' opinions about my affairs? Not to mention that he is just my boyfriend now. Even if he is my husband in the future, he has no right to interfere in my affairs."
Elliot gritted his teeth.
Avery's words just now revealed two meanings.
She and Billy, it's true.
Second, Billy had no control over her.
So Avery should not suffer from her relationship with Billy.
"If that's the case, then pack your luggage! If you don't tell your boyfriend, should you tell Layla?" Elliot reminded.
"What should I do to prepare, I know in my mind. Take care of yourself." Avery said here, and glanced at the rain outside the window, "The rain is getting heavier and heavier. Is it possible to cancel the flight tonight?"
Elliot turned on his phone and looked at the weather: "The rain will stop at 7 o'clock tonight."
"Oh…are you going? You can take the umbrella outside the door." Avery was going to pack up. So there is no time to entertain him.
Elliot: "It's raining so hard, are you sure you're going to drive me away?"
"I kindly borrowed your umbrella, and you said I'd drive you away… Just stay here if you like, I don't care about you." Avery strode back to the room.
Elliot didn't follow. But he didn't leave either.
He called Mrs. Cooper, asked Mrs. Cooper to help him pack his luggage, and asked the driver to bring it to Avery's house.
By the way, he told Mrs. Cooper that he was going to Yonroeville.
Mrs. Cooper was very happy: "Sir, if you go with Avery, then you must seize this opportunity. No matter whether Haze can get it back, you can't quarrel with Avery again. Although Avery has a good temper, she also likes to hear good things from others, so don't always say things she doesn't like."
"Do you think she has a good temper?" Elliot whispered.
Mrs. Cooper: "Yes, she has the best temperament among the women I've ever met."
"Isn't it Shea who has the best temper?" At least in Elliot's heart, Shea was the most obedient.
Mrs. Cooper smiled and said, "When Shea is stubborn, she can't be reasonable, but Avery is different…"
"Why do I feel that Avery is often unreasonable in front of me?" Elliot said.
"It is unreasonable for two people to fall in love. Otherwise, if she is unreasonable in front of you, can't you let her go?" Mrs. Cooper replied.
Elliot: "Tell Layla and Robert about my going out. I'll tell them later."
Mrs. Cooper: "Okay."
In the bedroom, Avery sat by the bed and called her daughter.
"Layla, I don't know when I can come back, so I may not be able to take you and Robert to find Hayden." Avery apologized.
"I can ask Uncle Chad to take us there. Uncle Chad will find Uncle Mike in a few days. What is he doing? Didn't he want to go to Yonroeville with you? When he goes to Yonroeville, he won't care about me and my brother." When Layla said this, the conversation changed, "Mom, are you going to go with dad? "
Avery was startled: "Well. Baby, what's the matter?"
"I'm curious…you two go together and stay in a hotel, will you two live in one room or two? Do you eat together every day? Then do you have to talk a lot every day…" Layla is more concerned about whether the two of them will reconcile, so she thinks a bit too much.
Avery couldn't help blushing.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1898
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1898
"Layla, your father and I are not enemies." Avery said awkwardly.
Layla: "You mean you two are still good friends?"
"Of course not…" Avery didn't know how to explain to her daughter, "I have no problem talking to him, but it's impossible to sleep together, understand?"
"Understood." Layla felt a little regretful, "Hey, Mom, then you have to protect yourself. You don't want to sleep with him, what if he wants to sleep with you? "
Avery: "…"
After talking on the phone with her daughter, Avery quietly walked from the master bedroom, came out and planned to see what Elliot was doing in the living room.
Her daughter's words made her feel uneasy, and she always felt that Elliot would do something secretly behind her back.
Who knows, when her head came out, Elliot looked at her.
His eyes seemed to grow on her head.
"Did you call your daughter?" Elliot saw her sneaky look just now, but didn't reveal it.
Avery: "Well, have you told your daughter?"
Elliot: "Not yet. Since you said it, I won't say it."
"I said her, and you have to say her too!" Avery frowned, "It's you and I'm me. If you need me to take care of your child's responsibilities, then give me the custody of the child!"
Elliot: "…"
Under Avery's gaze, Elliot gave Layla the call up.
"Dad, you don't need to say it, my mother told me." Layla answered the phone and immediately said, "You have to take good care of my mother. If my mother is wronged or injured outside, I will not help you chase my mother."
Elliot: "Well. Dad knows. You and Robert stay at home obediently. If you want to take your brother to Bridgedale to visit Hayden, remember to bring bodyguards with you."
Layla didn't expect Dad to know what's on her mind.
She never told her father that she would take her brother to Bridgedale to visit Hayden.
Layla: "Oh… Of course I will bring bodyguards. Otherwise, I won't be able to bring my brother!"
"When you have any action, you must tell Dad as soon as possible. As long as it is a reasonable request, Dad will not be angry. I won't blame you." Elliot confessed lovingly.
Layla's face blushed: "I see."
Avery stood by to watch Elliot finish talking on the phone, and couldn't help teasing: "What a good father. Gentle and reasonable, kind and unrestrained… I only just today It turns out that you have two faces!"
Elliot: "You have two faces to the child and to me."
"That's because you are worthy." Avery followed his words and chastised him, "No wonder Layla and Robert like you. If you want to buy someone's heart, you can let go of your self-esteem and be good to anyone."
Elliot: "They are my children, and I am good to them, so you don't need to let go of your self-esteem."
"Okay, your mouth is on your face, you say What is what." Avery turned around and planned to go back to her room to pack her luggage.
"What do you want to eat at night?" Elliot looked at her back and asked, "I won't go back. The driver will bring my luggage in a while. Let's have takeout tonight."
Avery thought about going with him out together, it's better not to make trouble with him, so she responded: "I'm not picky eaters, I can do anything."
"Okay. Go and clean up! Don't worry about me." Elliot could feel that Avery was here and she Seems a little uneasy.
But Elliot still didn't want to go.
After Avery went back to her room, he walked to the window and watched the pouring rain outside.
Heavy rain made the sky dark. The dense rain formed a line, casting a layer of mystery on the distant scenery.
After a while, the driver brought his luggage.
Avery also packed her luggage.
"The ticket at 7 o'clock will get the airport at 6 o'clock. It's raining heavily today, and the road conditions must be bad. We have to go out early." Avery glanced at the time, it was almost five o'clock.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1899
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1899
"I ordered takeout. It's almost here." Elliot glanced at the phone screen.
"When the takeaway arrives, take it to the airport to eat!" Avery was afraid that the time would be too late.
Elliot: "Actually, we don't need to be in such a hurry. We can change the booking."
"As long as the flight is not cancelled, then it will not be changed." Avery couldn't wait to go to Yonroeville, "Elliot, I need a result. It doesn't matter whether Haze is alive or dead. I want to know the result as soon as possible."
Elliot: "Me too."
After a while, the takeaway was delivered.
The bodyguards loaded their suitcases into the car, and they got into the car right after.
The two sat in the back seat, and in the cramped space, the atmosphere was particularly awkward.
"You don't have bodyguards?" Avery asked.
Elliot: "My bodyguard is already at the airport."
"Oh, I thought you didn't bring a bodyguard!" Avery said.
Elliot: "If you don't want me to bring a bodyguard, then I won't bring it."
"Why do you always like to think differently? You can guess ten meanings of a word I casually say while looking for a topic." Avery teased.
Elliot closed his mouth immediately.
"Did you go to meet Ben Schaffer's parents at noon?" Avery thought of the diamond ring from Gwen, "How was the talk?"
"To be precise, I just went to have a meal." Elliot narrowed his eyes, said lazily, "Their affairs are their own decisions. Gwen is not a three-year-old child, and I don't need to care about her affairs at all."
Avery: "You are her brother after all."
Elliot: "If I wasn't her brother, you think I would go to this dinner?"
"Did they say when they would get married?" Avery asked curiously, "And the details of the wedding, etc., have you talked about it?"
"No." Elliot simply replied, "I have been eating, and I didn't hear what they were talking about. What do you say?"
Avery: "You don't care about Gwen's marriage at all."
"The two of them are in a free relationship, what do you want me to care about?" Elliot said calmly, "I want to care too, but she doesn't appreciate it."
Avery said nothing.
Elliot was afraid that Avery would misunderstand that as Gwen's brother, he really didn't care, so he said, "I plan to give her a sum of money as a dowry when she gets married."
Avery: "Oh…"
Elliot: "I'm afraid Others look down on her."
Elliot's cheeks were a little hot. He wasn't going to talk about this. He doesn't even plan to discuss it with Gwen. But he didn't want Avery to misunderstand him again.
"Actually, I won't say anything if you give money to Gwen or not. You don't have to be so nervous." Avery saw his blushing and became uncomfortable, "Also, Gwen probably won't ask for your money. Her income is not low."
"How she earns has nothing to do with me. She is my sister, and I just do my part. Whether she will live well or bad, it will depend on her own destiny."
Avery: "Well."
After arriving at the airport, the bodyguards took their luggage to check in.
Elliot and Avery are having dinner in the VIP lounge.
"Didn't you say you've been eating at noon? I thought you wouldn't be able to eat dinner. Are you having such a good appetite now?" Avery teased him.
"I've been eating it at noon, but it tastes like jue wax. Now I really have a good appetite." Elliot didn't blushed or panted, looked her in the eyes, and replied, "Your boyfriend knows that we are going to Yonroeville together, are you really all right?"
"Are you afraid that he will beat you?" Avery asked back, "If you are afraid, you can choose to stay away from me."

Elliot: "I'm not afraid. I'm afraid that you're afraid."
"Why should I be afraid? Did I have an improper relationship with you? or are you going to be with me? Is there something that will make me afraid?" Avery blinked her apricot eyes.
Elliot's face swish, and a layer of blush was covered.
"You mention my boyfriend from time to time because you're afraid I'll forget him?" Avery was full, put down her chopsticks, and wiped her mouth with a tissue. "Aging has not made you mature."
Elliot: "Avery, you say I'm naive, what about you?"
Avery: "No matter how naive I am, I'm still a little more mature than you. I didn't openly or secretly inquire about your privacy."
"It doesn't matter whether I'm naive or not, it just means that you don't love me that much." Elliot corrected her.
Avery picked up the water bottle, twisted it open, took a sip of water, and moistened her throat: "How old are you, and you still talk about love, don't you feel ashamed?"
Elliot: "How old is the right to pursue love."
Elliot wanted to say something to yell at her, but he didn't say it.
Indeed, no matter how old people are, they have the right to pursue love.
…….
The next day. At half past eight in the morning.
Layla was still asleep. She usually doesn't sleep so late. The reason why she couldn't wake up this morning was because she stayed up late last night to do her homework.
The phone rang, but Layla didn't hear anything at all.
When Robert heard the bell, he ran into the room.
Standing beside the bed, he saw his sister sleeping soundly, so he stretched out his short hand, picked up his sister's mobile phone on the bedside table, and answered the phone.
"Hey~" Robert said to the phone, imitating the appearance of an adult.
The person over the phone was stunned for a moment: "Are you Layla?"
Robert listened to the nice female voice over the phone and moved her mouth, "I'm her brother, Robert. My sister is still sleeping! "
"Oh…you're Layla's younger brother?"
"Yes! Who are you?" Robert asked.
"Hello, kid, I'm the head teacher of Layla's new semester. I called your father, but I couldn't get through. I got your sister's number from another student, so I called." The teacher explained in detail, "I'm visiting your house today."
Robert didn't understand what the teacher said.
Robert was stunned for a while, and then said cutely: "Oh…oh…I woke up my sister…Can you tell my sister?"
The teacher couldn't help laughing: "Since you Sister is still sleeping, then let her sleep! Robert, are there any adults in your family?"
Robert: "Yes! Except for me, all are adults!"
"Then give your phone to a adult, and I'll come with you." The teacher said embarrassedly, "I'm lost, I don't know how to get to your house."
There are single-family villas here, and each villa is far apart.
At a glance, there are green plants and flowers.
Although the environment is good, the people walking are very confused.
Robert heard that her sister's teacher had lost her way, so he immediately said eloquently, "Teacher, I'll pick you up!"
Not long after, Robert rode his scooter and followed the bodyguard to pick up her sister's new head teacher.
About ten minutes later, the two were in a pavilion and received the female teacher.
When the female teacher saw Robert riding a scooter, she immediately smiled kindly: "Little boy, thank you for coming to pick me up!"
Robert smiled shyly, "Teacher, come with me, I'll take you to our house."
