Avery shook her head. “I want to go out.”
“Then, tell me if your leg hurts. Don’t force it.”
“I know.”
“Avery, if I had known how many miserable things would happen to us when we came back to this country, I would not have allowed you to return.” Mike helped her into the car. “When we were in Bridgedale, everything went smoothly. I never once worried about you. Who could have known that your return would bring me an endless amount of25 worry.”
Avery was apologetic. “Why don’t you return to Bridgedale!”
“That’s not what 196 meant!”
“I know that. I think that I can handle work here. You should go back to Bridgedale—”
“Come back with2d me.”
“I’m not going. I like my country better than I love Bridgedale.”
Mike snorted. “Then, I’m not going either. I’ll be where you49 are.”
“You miss Chad, huh?”
“Why did you have to bring him up? He blocked my calls.” Mike stepped on the gas. “That jerk! He only has his boss in his 35 heart.”
Avery said, “I’m sorry!” “Why are you apologizing to me? Even without you, we will still have to face this problem. I will not accept it if he constantly places his boss first.”
11.
They both went to a shopping mall. Avery bought some imported snacks. Then, she went to the jewelry shop to get each female employee a gold zodiac bracelet.
“Avery, you’re constantly making things difficult for yourself! You have to know each of their birthdays,” said Mike, taking a jab at her.
Avery said, “But they would be happy when they receive the gift.”
“They would be happier if you gave them money.”
“You might be right, but I feel some happiness can’t be bought with money,” Avery said.
For instance, the gift that she had received from Eric. She was much happier with the gift than she would have been if Eric had given her cash.
After buying the gifts, Mike carried the shopping bags in one hand while holding onto Avery
with the other.
After shopping for a while, her injured leg began to hurt.
“I already said I should have gone alone, but you wouldn’t listen. You never listen to others!” Mike nagged.
Avery automatically filtered his nagging.
The next morning, Mike drove her to work. After distributing the gifts, Avery returned to her office which she has not been in in a long time.
There was a bouquet on her table. She walked over and looked at the card on it.
On it was written, ‘Today is a beautiful day!’
The signature only had one letter, E.
It was from Eric Santos.
Avery smiled. She walked over to her office chair and sat down, switching the computer on.
She had half a month’s worth of work piled up. Although most of it had been dealt with, she still had to go through them. Thus, Avery spent the entire morning in her office.
At noon, Mike knocked on her door, asking her to head out for lunch.
“Have you received the medical examination results? It’s in your email,” Mike reminded her.
She nodded and got up from the chair. “I just received it, but I haven’t checked it yet. How was yours?”
“The doctors advised me not to drink for the time being,” Mike was troubled. “What meaning is there to life if I can’t drink?”
“Listen to the doctors. I’ll keep an eye on you,” Avery said as she tapped on the email icon of her phone. She read the results of her medical examination.
Mike walked in front and pressed the elevator button. The moment she entered the elevator, she read a line that shocked her. Early Pregnancy: Three Months!
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 422
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 422
Avery was pregnant!
According to the report, she had gotten pregnant the night Elliot had stabbed himself in the heart.
It was ironic! They were already estranged, and here she was pregnant with his child. Avery had no words or emotions to express the shock she felt. It reminded her of the time she had been pregnant with Hayden and Layla. She was extremely heartbroken.
Back then, Elliot was fighting for a divorce. Now, things were different. She was financially independent. She could raise the children herself. It did not matter if it was one, two, or three; she could raise them25 all.
However, should she tell him about this matter?
After all, back when Zoe had a miscarriage, he blamed it all on her, insisting that she give him a baby in return. Although they were no longer in contact, what if he tried to get in contact with her because she had not given him a96 child?
Mike saw her panic through the corner of his eyes. He immediately closed the distance between them and glanced at her phone.
Avery pressed the power button of her phone. The screen immediately went2d black.
“Is there any problem with your report? Your expression is quite scary.” Mike wanted to take her phone, but Avery swerved.
“I’m fine… I’m only slightly anemic.” Avery found some random excuse. “Right, I have something to do in the afternoon, I won’t be in the49 office.”
She had to go to the hospital. She needed to see if the results were wrong.
Mike had a look of suspicion on his face. “What’s going35 on?”
“It’s private. Can you not be so nosy? I won’t ask about your private life too.”
“I never hid my private life from you!”
“Well, I do. So, I can’t tell you what it is for now,” said Avery flatly.
“Then, when will you tell me?”
The elevator doors opened, and Avery walked out.
“I’ll tell you when I want to.”
Mike replied, “Avery, are you going to look for Elliot behind my back? Don’t go seeking death! He might have stabbed himself this time, but the next time, it will surely be you!”
Avery’s head felt numb when she heard what Mike said.
“I’m not going to look for him.”
“Oh, okay, then! As long as you’re not looking for him, I don’t care about the rest,” Mike explained.
Avery said, “Even if I’m going to look for him, you can’t stop me anyway.”
Mike furrowed his brows.
“I’m joking! What are we having for lunch?” Avery tugged on Mike’s arm. “Why don’t we have something lighter! Did the doctors stop you from drinking because you have stomach problems or liver problems?”
Avery managed to distract Mike.
“My body is still strong!” Mike said defiantly.
“Oh, is it? Then, let’s go drinking.”
Mike caved in. “My stomach has some problems. Stomach issues. Many of them have it.”
“Don’t take stomach problems lightly.” Avery’s expression was a little cold. She tilted her head up slightly to look at him. “You have to stop drinking. Even if it is an occasional drink, you can’t drink too much. Do you hear me?”
“I got it! Where are you going this afternoon? I’ll send you!”
“No need. I’ll call a taxi.”
Mike stopped asking her questions.
After lunch, they went their separate ways. Avery got into a taxi. She asked to be taken to the nearby hospital.
Then, she opened the medical report and looked through it once again.
They had detected her pregnancy from the blood test. The results were probably correct unless the doctor had mislabeled the blood sample and given her the wrong results.
However, with modern medical procedures, such mistakes were rare. The act could have been a deliberate one. Avery gasped. She placed her palms on her abdomen.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 423
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 423
In Avery, a small life was growing. However, up till that point, she did not feel anything at all. When she was pregnant with Layla and Hayden , her early pregnancy symptoms were rather obvious.
At that thought, a new problem cropped out.
When she was pregnant with the child, she was in utter depression. Also, because of her injuries, she had been on a lot of25 antibiotics.;
Avery furrowed her brows. She was so heartbroken she could not breathe!
Even if she got pregnant with the child, this child would most likely be96 unhealthy!
The taxi stopped right in front of the hospital entrance.
Avery paid and got out of thead taxi.
She registered with the gynecology department. After explaining her situation to the doctor, the doctor gave her an ultrasound request form. She took the form to the ultrasound room and waited.
After 40 minutes later, it was her turn. A moment later, she left the hospital with the results in her49 hand.
As she expected, she was pregnant! She was once again pregnant with Elliot’s child! She did not know if this child was healthy or not at that moment because it was still too small. If the child was unhealthy, naturally, it would be eliminated. She did not need to wait for three months to be miscarried.
It would be possible that the child would be unhealthy and last more than three months. She would only be able to find out after the35 checkup.
Avery’s mind was a mess at that moment. She did not know what to do. If Elliot did not want this child, she could choose to abort it, because there was a high possibility that it would be unhealthy.
However, she would only decide after three months.
Should she let Elliot know? Should she let him know now?
Avery stood by the side of the road, looking at the traffic. She was very lost. At Tate Industries, Mike was holding a business card in his hand. He looked at it and sized the other person up.
“You’re Eric Santos’ manager?”
“Yes. Eric has asked me to come and talk to you.” The manager explained his intention there and explained, “His comeback single is called Fly. Initially, we wanted to publish it on the internet. With his fame and outreach, this song will be a hit! But, he insisted on giving Tate Industries this single.”
Mike furrowed his brows. “Giving them to us?”
“He said that he wrote it for Tate Industries. You could use this song to promote a certain series of products, you can also use it as your company’s anthem because the lyrics to this song fit rather well with your products.”
Mike nodded. “I have not listened to his new song. Is it any good?”
The manager was rather annoyed.
Mike said, “Has he talked to Avery? Avery is the boss.”
“Miss Tate likes this song a lot, but she might not accept Eric’s gift.”
“Oh, we can pay! Make it a collaboration.” Mike was not so fixated on whether Eric’s new song was great or not anymore. His fame was the most important thing.
The manager nodded. “I do think this way is better, but Eric is not willing to accept money from you.”
Mike said, “Then, just put it as a friendship price! If not Avery would not accept this too.”
The manager replied, “Okay. Wonder Technologies has cropped up recently. They are doing drones too and they are coming on strong! Not only have they signed the hottest celebrities as their spokesperson, but they also got a lot of social media influencers to live stream as well. I checked their sales, it’s amazing! Why does your company not have any promotional activities?”
Mike said, “So Eric gave us this single because he could not bear to watch how our company is doing?”
The manager said, “I guessed so. He is even more worried about the growth of the company than you all.”
Mike took a deep breath. He had a 180-degree change in his impression of Eric. This babyface was not only handsome, but he was also smart.
The next time he visits Avery, Mike would definitely open the door for him.
At five in the evening, Avery took a taxi to Elliot’s mansion. She hesitated for the entire afternoon. She decided to tell the news of her pregnancy to Elliot. After all, he insisted on having this child.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 424
When the guard saw Avery, he thought he must be hallucinating. She had fought so terribly with Elliot. How dare she still show herself?
Previously, when the guard saw her, he would immediately let her in. At that moment, the guard did not open the door for her.
The guard called the internal phone in the living room. Mrs. Cooper picked the phone up. —
“Avery Tate is here. She’s standing outside the gate,” The guard25 said.
Mrs. Cooper was stunned. “Oh, I’ll go have a look.” After hanging up, Mrs. Cooper strode outside to have a look.
Previously, the skies were still cloudless, at that moment, it was dark and96 cloudy.
Mrs. Cooper did not let Avery in, she walked to the gate.
“Avery,” Mrs. Cooper has a darkened expression. “Are you here to see Mr. Foster?” She knows that Avery was the one that hurt Elliot, so she had no pity or any feelings toward Avery at that2d moment.
Elliot has almost lost his life this time. He would definitely not want to see Avery again.
Avery nodded. “Is he49 home?”
“He is. After he was discharged from the hospital, he had been home recuperating,” Mrs. Cooper replied, “The doctor has instructed him to stay home and rest for at least a month.”
Avery pondered for a few seconds, she said honestly, “I am looking for35 him.”
Mrs. Cooper said, “Avery, what do you have to look for him for? He needs to rest in his current situation. The doctors have warned me to not disturb him if there is nothing important.”
Avery understood what Mrs. Cooper meant. He did indeed need time to recuperate.
“Avery, I’m very sorry. It’s not that I don’t allow you in or I don’t allow you to see him. Even if I report to him now, he might not want to see you,” Mrs. Cooper explained patiently after seeing the disappointment in Avery’s eyes.
Avery nodded and said calmly, “I’m not blaming you.”
Seeing how Avery was, Mrs. Cooper gave in. “Why don’t you stay here? I’ll go ask him right
now.”
“No, it’s fine! Let him rest!” Avery calmed down. It was inappropriate for Elliot to receive any agitation or provocation at that moment.
She was unsure if the child was healthy or not at that moment, so she could still wait to see if
the child could last three months.
Avery turned and left.
Suddenly, the skies started to drizzle.
Mrs. Cooper immediately ran back to the living area and took an umbrella out. She chased after
Avery.
Avery did not drive here. If she was about to hail a taxi, she still had to walk a distance.
Avery heard Mrs. Cooper calling after her. She immediately stopped in her tracks. When she saw Mrs. Cooper passing her the umbrella, she suddenly lifted her head up and looked at the skies.
Was it raining already?
“Avery, take this.” Mrs. Cooper passed her the umbrella.
“No need. It’s not heavy.” Avery refused. Avery did not accept the umbrella because she did not want to return the umbrella.
She only came here today because she was in a daze of the news of her pregnancy. After the last incident, there did not seem a need to contact each other anymore. Perhaps he did not even care if she was pregnant. She was completely dead to him.
Avery quickened her steps and left under the rain. Mrs. Cooper slowly returned back with the umbrella in her hand.
On the balcony on the upper floor of the mansion.
Elliot stood up. He saw Avery leaving.
Why was she here? When this question appeared in his mind, his heart suddenly ached.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 425
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 425
If Elliot did not see her or think of her, he could eat, sleep, and live like a normal person.
However, the moment he thought of her, his body would have symptoms.
A moment later, a knock came on his door. Elliot entered his room from the balcony.
He opened the room door. Mrs. Cooper was standing25 outside.
“Sir, Avery came by just now. She said she was looking for you. I asked her what about, but she did not tell me,” Mrs. Cooper said, “She left.”
“I saw.” Elliot’s expressions were calm. His tone was96 cold.
“Oh, the next time she comes, should I invite her in?” Mrs. Cooper asked.
“No.” After a short moment of silence, head muttered.
When Avery returned home, she was completely49 drenched.
“Mommy, why are you so wet? Did you not bring an umbrella?” Layla said heartbrokenly.
Mike pushed her upstairs. “Quickly go take a shower. You might catch a35 cold.”
Avery headed upstairs.
“Uncle Mike, why did you let Mommy come back alone?” Layla looked at Mike reproachfully.
Hayden was glaring at Mike too.
Under the attack of the two children, Mike lifted his hands up in surrender. “Your Mommy said that she has something to do in the afternoon! She forbade me to follow her! i’ll go make her some tea! She won’t catch a cold if she has tea!” Mike said and escaped to the kitchen.
Avery took a shower and washed her hair. She went downstairs after drying her hair.
Mike stuffed a cup of tea in her hands. After thanking him, she drank all the tea.
“Avery, where were you this afternoon? It’s one thing if it’s raining outside. Don’t you know how to avoid the rain?” Mike grumbled.
Layla pursed her lips and stood up for Avery without thinking. “Mommy was already wet, why are you still nagging her!”
“Fine, let’s go have dinner.” Mike dragged the two children toward the dining table. “Avery, our bodyguard’s cooking is amazing! Give him a raise!”
Avery walked over to the dining table and looked at the feast on the table. She nodded. “Hmm.
“Aren’t you anemic? Have more meat,” Mike said.
Human psychology was a strange thing. Avery had a ham sandwich that morning but she did not feel nauseated or uncomfortable.
However, at that moment when she knew she was pregnant, she looked at the table full of different dishes, not only did she not have any appetite, but her stomach felt bad too.
Mike saw how she did not touch her utensils, so she grabbed some pork for her. She took a bite and said, “It’ll be good if there are some vegetables.”
“Oh, I’ll get him to make some vegetables tomorrow.” Mike noticed that Avery looked down. He guessed that she went to look for Elliot in the afternoon because before noon she was still fine.
“Eric’s manager came to look for you this afternoon, but because you’re not around, I had a chat with him,” Mike simply explained the incident in the afternoon to Avery.
“Oh, have you guys reached a deal?” She raised her eyebrows.
“Almost. The rest is up to you,” Mike said, “Eric is a great guy. I won’t call him a babyface anymore.”
“Since you guys are almost there, then just go according to what you have discussed.” Avery did not have any other suggestions.
“Oh, don’t you dislike marketing?”
“Everything is not absolute.” Avery had no appetite, so she put her utensils down. “I’ve been paying attention to Wanda’s company. They have been using all their ways to promote and market their product. It seems to be going well. Eric is doing this to help me. I have no reason to refuse him.”
“Not bad!”
“I cannot lose to Wanda.” Avery got up from the chair. “I’ll make a proposal then I’ll discuss it with Eric.”
“Hey, have some food first!” Mike saw the remaining half of the food on her plate. He immediately called after her.
“I’m not hungry right now. I’ll make some food for myself when I’m hungry,” Avery said and headed upstairs.
Once she was upstairs, she turned on her laptop and started working.
The rain outside was getting heavier, pitter-pattering against the windows.
She finished her work in distraction and jumped up from her chair. When she saw the time, it was almost eleven at night. She had to make a trip right at that moment.

Avery was still worried for the child in her womb. Before she could make sure that the child was healthy or not, she wanted to rectify the situation. She did not care whether it was too late to do so or not, at least she would feel better.
Avery put on a jacket and left with an umbrella.
Coming out of the neighborhood, about three minutes’ walk away, there was a pharmacy.—.
She bought a bottle of folic acid and put it in her pocket. She was walking in the rain with the umbrella25 opened.
Although the rain was heavy, she was not cold. It was spring. Spring was the time when all beings came to life. It was a season of hope. She hoped that the child in her womb was as healthy as Layla and Hayden. As long as the child was healthy, she would give birth to it.
As for Elliot’s thoughts, it was no longer that96 important.
While being under the rain that evening helped her figure out a lot.
Elliot’s life and hers were two parallel lines. All she needed to do was to live her own life. As long as she did it with a cleared conscience.
When she returned home, she kept the umbrella and placed it outside the door. Before she entered, she heard noises coming from the living area.
“You’re strangling me!” Chad’s angry voice came49 through.
Mike said, “Shut your mouth! Don’t wake Avery up!”
Chad was breathing heavily. “Why did you bring me here? Send me home35 now!”
Mike sat on the sofa and scratched his head. “I drank some alcohol, how could I send you home? Why don’t you just stay here for the night!”
“You’re asking me to sleep on the couch?!”
“What’s wrong with sleeping on the couch! It’s already a very good option for you! Don’t make a fuss! Does that mean you want to sleep in my room?”
“Are you nuts? What if Avery and the two children find out about me? How embarrassing would it be for me?” Chad struggled to get up from the sofa and headed to Mike’s room.
Mike followed behind. “Wait up! Chad… why don’t you resign? Come to our office. Elliot that jerk….”
“F*ck you! My boss is not a jerk. I know that you want to talk about Shea again. I can promise you. He does not have any relationship with Shea other than siblings! As for Zoe, it’s even more absurd! Mr. Foster has never liked her before! Even if they accidentally slept together,
that was all Zoe’s doing! Mr. Foster is very picky! Whether it was in his life or relationship wise, he always had high standards!”
Chad forgot that Mike asked him to be softer.
Even if Avery was in her room upstairs, she would be able to hear his yells.
“Our Avery has even higher standards!” Mike tried to argue with him. “Ever since I knew her, she has never had a single relationship! No matter how good-looking or amazing the guys pursuing her are, she remained calm! Is your boss as good as Avery?”
Chad said, “But Avery is vicious! She almost killed Mr. Foster!”
Mike said, “You’re the vicious one! Your boss was seeking death himself! A weak person like Avery would find it tough to even kill a chicken. How could she kill your boss? With a brain like yours, how did you manage to become the president’s assistant?”
Chad had one hand on the door handle. He adjusted his glasses with the other hand. He looked lost.
Mike’s words seemed to make sense.
Looking at him in a daze, Mike pushed him into the room and then closed the room door.
Avery could no longer hear what they were talking about after that. She entered the house and closed the door.
Chad’s words kept repeating in her mind. Whether he was telling the truth or not, she had been affected by him.
Avery quickly headed upstairs and returned to her room. After taking off her jacket, she took a glass of water and took some folic acid.
She wondered what on earth did she deserve to get pregnant with three of Elliot’s children!
Three!
S
Although the last two came out at the same time, it was still equally challenging bringing them out, not as easy as bringing one child up.
That was not the most important thing. The most important thing was because of these three children, she would never be able to break it off cleanly with him for the rest of her life!
Avery lay in bed and switched off the lights. She flipped around in bed for a long time. The more she flipped, the less sleepy she felt.
She picked up her phone and looked at the time. Only half an hour has passed. She sighed in the dark and closed her eyes, forcing herself to sleep.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 427
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 427
After flipping around for a while longer, Avery picked up her phone and looked at the time again.
It was past midnight, soon approaching one. However, she could not sleep. She was completely wide away.
Almost by reflex, Avery pulled open the drawer of her nightstand and took some melatonin from it. She opened the bottle. When she was about to swallow the pill, the folic acid by her bed stunned her! She immediately threw the pill into the bin.
She had to sleep. It was for the child in her25 womb.
The next day at eight in the morning, after Avery sent the children to kindergarten, she bought breakfast home.
At that moment, Chad came out of Mike’s room. He hurriedly buttoned his shirt and walked96 quickly.
He must have planned to leave before Avery could find out.
“Chad, I bought you breakfast,” Avery saidad politely.
Chad was speechless. Hearing Avery’s voice, Mike came out of his room.
“Avery, uh…” Mike blushed a little, trying to explain49 himself.
Avery calmly interrupted him. “If you two are together already, I think it’s best you move out. After all, the children and I are here. We might disturb you. If you don’t want to stay too far from me, we could buy another building in this neighborhood. We could be neighbors.”
Mike said, “No! You won’t disturb us. I’m not moving out. Even if I bring Chad back, it’s at35 night…”
Chad slapped his forehead.
Mike said, “Chad, come to have breakfast.” Chad was forced to sit by the table. He looked at Avery.
She dressed up today. It was so gorgeous one could not help but notice it. She was in a cream sweater and a red dress. She was wearing a pair of leather flats on her feet.
She has made up a little. She looked good.
“Miss Tate, are you going on a date today?” Chad asked.
Mike said, “Eric Santos, do you know who is his? He has decided to sign his comeback single to us. We’ll have an official signature ceremony at the hotel today.
Chad looked at Avery, stunned. “So, it’s true that you cured Eric?!”
Avery changed the topic. “Didn’t you block Mike? Why did you get back together?”
Talking about this, Chad was even more expressive. “I was drinking with colleagues last night. He directly went to where we were gathering and pulled me away!”
Mike furrowed his brows. “Speaking of which, you haven’t taken me out from your blacklist of
calls?”
Avery did not want to be the third wheel, so she got up. “You two slowly eat. I’ll make a move.”
At eleven in the morning, at the oldest five-star hotel in the city.
Eric Santos’ first event after his comeback was held there.
The event was streamed live on the internet. The thousands of fans made this a trending topic!
At the Sterling Group in the President’s office.
Elliot’s computer screen was playing the broadcast of this famous event. In the broadcast, Avery was smiling sweetly next to Eric. They were both in cream sweaters, looking like a couple!
Elliot furrowed his brows tightly. The sweater that she was wearing was the one that she made for him previously!
Later on, they broke up, so he returned it to her. However, it was a sweater that he has worn before. How could she wear it to match another man? Elliot was so furious he coughed furiously!

The office door was pushed open. When Ben saw how violently he was coughing, he immediately walked over and gave him a cup of water.
“Don’t come to work if your body has not fully healed! You never listen to the doctor.”
Elliot placed the cup down on the table and strode over to the washroom. Ben wanted to follow him, but he saw what was playing on Elliot’s computer screen from the corner of his eyes.
“Eric, everyone is curious why you chose to collaborate with Tate Industries? Was it because they paid too much?” The reporter chuckled and25 asked.
Eric looked at Avery and smiled. Just when he was about to answer, Avery said, “No. Eric said he has left the industry for three years. At that moment, he was like a newcomer, so he only charged us a little.”
There was an uproar below the stage. Miss Tate, how did you know Eric? Are you two close together? I see that you two are wearing a cream sweater today…” The reporter said in a gossiping96 manner.
Avery blushed a little.
“It’s just a coincidence,” Eric answered on her behalf. I was wearing a brown jacket because the hotel is quite hot, so I took themed off.”
“Eric, your comeback this time, you must have a lot of choices, yet you pick Tate Industries. Are you close to Miss Tate? When did you know each other?”
Eric replied, “We got to know each other when I was sick. This song was also written when I was 49 sick.”
Suddenly, someone below the stage demanded, “Eric, can you perform this new song live for us?”
After this was demanded, everyone cheered together too. Avery smiled and looked at him before retreating to the side, letting him have the35 stage.
At the Sterling Group, Elliot came out from the bathroom. Ben had already switched off the live stream on Elliott’s laptop.
Ben could not understand. Since they have already broken up, why was he still concerned about her news? Whoever she ended up with is her own matter.
Why did he still care? Was he not hurt badly enough from the previous incident?
“Elliot, I’ll send you home!” Ben stood in front of him, determined. “Look at you right now. Are you planning to die in the office?”
Elliot’s face turned blue. He clenched his fists tightly and strode over to the elevator. Ben
followed behind him.
“She came looking for me yesterday,” Elliot said in a low hoarse voice when he entered the elevator.
Ben looked at him in disbelief. “You said Avery went looking for you yesterday?”
“I didn’t see her.” Elliot’s Adam’s apple moved a little. “She deliberately wore the cream sweater today to annoy me.”
Ben found it hard to believe that Avery was this type of woman.
However, the wound in Elliot’s heart constantly reminded him that he did not understand Avery very well.
“If you don’t love her, no matter what she wears, it will not provoke you,” Ben went straight to the point, “You can’t change her, so change yourself.”
It was easier said than done!
If he could force himself to not love her, he would not be in so much pain up till that moment.
At the hotel, after Eric sang his new song, the atmosphere there was at its peak!
After that, Avery, as the President of the company, explained to everyone the direction in which Tate Industries was growing. She also introduced the upcoming products and explained their functions.
Because Eric had always been standing next to Avery, the viewers of the live stream did not reduce but increased on the contrary.
The marketing effect of Tate Industries was at its most effective.
At Wonder Technology, when Wanda saw the live stream, she was so furious her facial expressions were distorted.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 429
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 429
“Avery has some tricks up her sleeves!” Wanda said coldly.
Although Eric was not the hottest celebrity at that moment, he once was! His official comeback that day had sensationalized the entire entertainment industry!
Wanda did not understand why Eric wanted to help Avery. Previously, hè tweeted for the Tate Industries, rescuing them once.
This time, he actually wrote a song for them! How25 absurd!
Wanda dialed Zoe. The call was soon picked up.
“Zoe, do you know why Eric Santos is helping Avery? Are they secretly96 together?”
Zoe was also watching the live stream. She was also in a bad mood.
Eric was not only talented. He was also very good-looking. The women would find it hard to resist hiszd seduction.
“He already told us the answer just now at the live stream,” Zoe said frigidly, “He said that he knew Avery when he was sick.”
Wanda did not understand what Zoe meant. “What’s so strange about49 that?”
“He was a vegetable previously! They don’t have consciousness! Even if Avery was in front of him every day, he would not get to know Avery! So, he must have known Avery after he was cured! How was he cured? Why was he so nice to Avery? Isn’t that clear?”
Wanda was shocked. “Are you saying Avery cured35 him!”
Zoe gritted her teeth. “Yes! Avery must have cured him! He must be grateful to Avery for saving his life, which is why he is doing everything to pay back!”
Wanda suddenly laughed.
Zoe was confused. “What are you laughing at? Avery has Eric as her trump card! You should find a way to stop her!”
“Since when did Avery become so great? Why have I never heard of it before? She could cure a vegetable? If she really has the abilities , why does she have to open a company? She should just be a doctor and cure patients. Look at you treating Shea. Elliot has paid you three hundred million. Isn’t that much more than operating a company?”
Wanda went against Zoe’s speculation.
Zoe said, “If you don’t believe me, forget about it! I’m not planning to persuade you!”.

Wanda said, “It’s not that I don’t believe you, I don’t believe Avery! How could she be so great!
Zoe took a deep breath. “Initially, I didn’t believe how great she was either, but…this was a fact that I can’t ignore even if I can’t believe it! Lying to myself would only make a fool out of
me!”
The smile on Wanda’s face completely vanished.
“Are you afraid already?” Zoe mocked when she did not hear a response from Wanda, “If I knew you were only like that, I wouldn’t have invested all my money in you!”
Wanda was provoked, “Zoe, you have been defeated by Avery. Do you think everyone is like you? Just wait and see!”
Zoe was not angry, on the contrary, she laughed. “I’ll just wait and see how you defeat her!”
At the hotel, after the official signing ceremony ended, Eric got into a black sedan under the protection of bodyguards.
The fans waiting outside the hotel screamed!
Avery was behind Eric. She looked at the group of people swarming all over. She truly felt the difference between celebrities and ordinary people.
After Eric left, the fans waiting outside dispersed too.

Not far away, a black Rolls-Roice was parked there. Elliot was in the car.
After the crowd dispersed, he looked at Avery in the cream sweater with cold eyes. She was talking to Mike. Mike affectionately wrapped his arms around her shoulders, taking her to the parking lot.
This scene broke his heart.
Avery never had a shortage of men protecting her.
Ben was gripping the steering wheel. He looked at Elliot’s cold yet pained expression. “Elliot, forget about her! Without you, she is still doing well.”

Elliot could see. Avery was indeed doing well.
After Avery got in the car, she took a flask out from her back, twisted the cap open, and drank some warm water.
Mike waited for her to finish drinking before moving the25 car.
“What are we having for lunch?” He asked.
Avery said, “It’s not lunch yet, I’m not96 hungry.”
Mike replied, “We could still decide beforehand!”
Avery pondered for a few seconds before saying, “Next time, I’ll deal with lunch on my2d own.
Mike had to have meat for every meal. Avery was not interested in meat at all at that moment. Before her pregnancy, she had a good appetite, so if Mike saw her not eating meat, he would definitely be suspicious.
“Are you trying to lose weight?” Mike asked suspiciously, “Avery, stop doing that to yourself! You’re not becoming a celebrity. You don’t have to compare yourself to 49 them!”
Avery clutched her forehead. She knew Mike was meticulous, he would surely simply speculate.
“I’m not going on a diet. I just don’t want to have lunch with35 you.”
O
“Why? If you don’t have lunch with me, who are you having lunch with?”
Avery said, “I think we should still keep some distance. I heard what Chad said last night. You care so much about Chad and Elliot’s relationship, what if Chad also cares about your relationship with me?”
Mike was speechless.
Avery continued, “We’ll eat on our own in the future. We can still head back home together after work.”
Mike said, “Oh…okay!”
At that moment, Mike’s phone rang. He fished his phone out and had a look at who was calling. He slowed the car down and put on his Bluetooth earpiece.
“Are you with Avery right now?” On the other end of the line, Chad’s voice came through.
Mike glanced at Avery. “N-N…. What’s going on?”
He only lied because he wanted to know what Chad was about to say.
Chad said, “Do you know where Avery’s cream sweater she wore today came from? She’s terrible! She made the sweater for Mr. Foster previously…”

Mike looked at the cream sweater on Avery and said calmly, “Oh. If she gave your boss the sweater, why is it in her hands?”
Chad exhaled. “Perhaps he returned it to her after they broke up!”
“Since he has returned it to Avery, Avery will wear it whenever she wants to! What the hell does it have to do with your boss!” Mike was gradually getting infuriated. He did not mince his words.
Chad did not expect that Mike would be so fierce.
“My point is, Avery is doing that only to provoke Mr. Foster! She must have agreed to do so with Eric! How dare they wear white together. What? Are they trying to announce their relationship? Mr. Foster saw the live stream this morning! He was pissed off!”
“Since he has already seen the live stream, he should have already heard Eric’s explanation, right? What is he upset about? Does he expect Avery to be single for the rest of her life to please him?”
Mike’s question made Chad ponder silently. Mike made sense. Why was his boss so angry then? They have long split up and even tried to kill each other. Logically speaking, there should not be any feelings for each other left!
Avery was sitting in the front passenger seat. She could basically guess what Chad said.
The reason she wore the cream sweater that day was because Eric requested that she wore the necklace the night before.
The necklace was black, so wearing cream would match it more. Avery did not have a cream jacket, so she chose to wear the cream sweater.
She never thought that Eric would wear a matching color sweater that day. She was quite embarrassed that it caused a misunderstanding.
