When His Eyes Opened Chapter 591
Avery thought from a different angle. If Elliot was the one that slapped her that day, she would resent him for life. She would even go to the hospital to have an abortion in a fit of rage.
At that thought, she secretly felt that he was most probably never going to look for her anymore.
A week later, in one of the most high-end restaurants in the city.
The bruises on Tammy’s face have almost recovered fully. She asked Avery out to dinner, wanting to buy her a35 meal.
Initially, Tammy got Avery to bring the two children along as well, but Wesley brought them and Shea out to play.
“Avery, Elliot did not look for you for the past few days, right?” Tammy saidee worriedly.
“Hmm.” Avery ordered a few dishes and passed the menu to her.
“I heard that he has been at home for the past few days. He never left home.” When Tammy said that she could not help but laugh. “I don’t really hate him anymore. For real. At the thought of him feeling worse than me, I want to laugh. After all, his family is much wealthier than mine. His status is much higher than mine.6f Hahaha!”
Avery found it hard to laugh. However, seeing how happy Tammy was, it spread to her too.
“Avery, how are you feeling recently?” Tammy changed the topic. “In a week, you’ll get your checkup results. I dreamed about this last night. I woke up in68 sweat…”
Avery replied, “I can eat well and sleep well. I don’t feel uncomfortable.”
Perhaps, she had already expected the worst of it, so she did not think too much about7a this.
“That’s good then!” Tammy ordered and passed the menu to the waiter.
After the waiter left with the menu, Tammy said, “Jun is planning to take me on a holiday, to relax. It’s almost the summer holidays, why don’t you take the kids along together and we’ll go have fun!”
Avery rejected Tammy without thinking, “You’re going on a holiday with your husband. How can I be the third wheel? Also, Hayden is going to summer camp. I’m planning to sign one up for Layla too. My tummy is getting bigger now. It’s getting harder.”
“I don’t think your tummy is really that big. Other pregnant women’s tummy is much bigger! Even if they are only five months pregnant, it looks extremely big!” Tammy wondered out loud, “When you had the twins the last time, was it even more tiring?”
“That was six years ago. Back then, I was still young, my body was still in a good condition. Before birth, I was still in school!” Avery sighed. “I didn’t feel that tired previously.”
Tammy was just about to say something when she saw someone at the entrance of the restaurant from the corner of her eye.
Chelsea was in a long red dress. She was with a lady in a white dress entering the restaurant.
“What an unlucky day!” Tammy said coldly, “Chelsea is here.”
Avery followed her gaze and looked toward the entrance of the restaurant.
Perhaps their gaze was way too direct, so Chelsea noticed them too.
The white-dressed lady next to Chelsea looked over at them too.
At that moment, Tammy realized something fishy!
“Avery, that lady in white looks a lot like you! At first glance, I thought it was you!” Tammy said in shock, “If you weren’t sitting next to me, I would have thought that it was you.”
Avery noticed it too. Where did Chelsea find a lady that looked so much like her?
“Avery, wait here for a while,” Tammy said before striding over to Chelsea. Tammy wanted to have a closer look at the white-dressed lady!
Two minutes later, Tammy had a good look and returned to her seat.
“Avery, I think that woman had something done to her face to look like you! I immediately noticed that her face was made up. However, men might not be able to notice them,” Tammy speculated, “Chelsea must be trying to get Elliot to like her by any means necessary. I’m guessing that she wants to present this lady to Elliot!”
Avery’s expressions darkened. She lost her appetite.
At that moment, a commotion came from the entrance of the restaurant. Avery looked over and saw Elliot in a dark-colored shirt and pants striding in under the protection of his bodyguard.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 592
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 592
“Heh! As expected!” Tammy sneered. “Chelsea brought that lady over to present her to Elliot.”
Avery retracted her gaze. Although she found it absurd, she could not control what other people do.
“How unlucky! We were initially in a good mood, yet we bumped into them.” Tammy took a sip of water and looked at Avery. “Avery, why don’t we change to a different restaurant?”
Avery shook her head. “We came here35 first.”
“I’m afraid you’ll be upset.”
“Even if I’m upset, we can’t leave,” Avery said calmly, “We have already ordered the food. We can’t let it go toee waste.”
“Why don’t we take it away and have it back home!”
Avery said, “Tammy, I don’t remember you being such a coward? If that lady has really done something to her face to look like me, then she should be afraid of seeing me, not me avoidingof her.”
“Of course, I’m not a coward! Even if Elliot walks to me right now, I won’t be afraid!” Tammy might say that she was not afraid, but she subconsciously reached out her hand to touch the
cheek that was slapped previously.
The waiter served them and placed the dishes on the table. Avery picked up her utensils and placed some food in her68 dish.
“When my mom was still alive, she often told me to let bygones be bygones. Whether it was a person or something. Don’t think about the past. Life will be less troublesome that way.”
Tammy said, “She put it well, but it’s hard to achieveya this.”
“Hmm. My mom loves my father a lot. After their divorce, she could not get over it. It was until when my father passed away that the lawyers read his will. When she realized that he left the company and the core technology that he has been researching for me, she sobbed terribly, then only did she get over it. She felt that all the grievances that she went through were all worth it.”
“Sometimes I really hate it. Why a good person like Aunt Laura was killed but Wanda has not even received her retribution!” Tammy said through gritted teeth.
Avery lowered her gaze and said depressingly, “Let’s eat!”
On the other side, after Elliot saw the lady in the white dress, a hint of surprise flashed across
his eyes.
“Elliot, this is my cousin, Nora,” Chelsea introduced her to Elliot, “She just graduated college. She’s been looking for a job recently. I’m thinking if she could work with me in the same company, I could look after her.”
“Hello, Elliot. I’m Nora,” Nora said gently.
Elliot looked at her face closely. It was too similar to Avery!
Would two unrelated people look alike in this world?
“Elliot, do you think that Nora looks a little like Avery?” When Chelsea saw how Elliot kept looking at Nora, she immediately explained, “She has been studying abroad all this while. I only saw her the day before yesterday.”
Nora said, “Chelsea said that I look like Avery, I didn’t believe her initially. It was until she showed me her photo that I realized I do look quite like her!”
Chelsea smiled and said, “Only about fifty percent or so. Nora is mixed. Her facial features are more protruding.”
Nora blushed. “Elliot, I wonder if you would let me work in your company?”
“What is your major?”
“Secretarial work,” Nora obediently replied, “Elliot, if I could work next to you, I will work hard. I won’t let you down.”
Elliot said coldly, “I’m not lacking secretaries. If you can’t find a job, I’ll introduce you to my friend’s company on behalf of Chelsea.”
Chelsea was stunned. Nora was baffled too.
“Elliot, I really want her to work for us. That way, I can take care of her easier,” Chelsea bore through the embarrassment and said shamelessly.
Elliot said, “Then, place her in your department.”
Nora’s eyes instantly reddened. Chelsea grabbed her hand under the table and said to Elliot,” Then, I’ll arrange for her to work in my department.”
Elliot said, “You don’t have to report such small matters to me.”
Chelsea did not expect that he would be so cold toward Nora. Nora looked a lot like Avery, but her facial features were much more exquisite than Avery’s. Any man who looked at Nora would fall for her. Not only did Elliot not fall for her, but he detested her too.

After Avery finished her meal, she put down her utensils.
Tammy followed suit. “Avery, let’s go! Do you want to shop? If you want to shop, I’ll accompany you.”
Avery shook her head. “I had too much food. I’m a little sleepy.”
“Then, I’ll send you back,” Tammy grabbed her bag and walked over to Avery, helping her35
up.
Avery suppressed her laughter, “You don’t have to be so cautious. I can walk on my own.”
“I just want to hold onto you!” Tammy touched Avery’s tummy. “It sure does look quite big. You’re wearing baggy clothes, so it doesn’t look like it, but when I touch it, it’s obvious. It’s like a hugeee watermelon.”
“It’s clearly a small watermelon,” replied Avery.
“Have you ever seen such a huge small watermelon? Sigh. We should be able to see the child’s face already, right?” Tammy6f asked.
“Hmm. The doctors have shown me before the last time I was in Bridgedale.”
“Who does the baby look68 like?”
Avery was silent for a few seconds before saying, “It looks like itself.”
e
“Is the child a boy or a girl,” Tammy pried nosily, “You should be able to know the sex of the baby at four months old7a right?”
Avery said, “I didn’t ask.”
“Okay then! Go back and rest well. I’ll go with you to the hospital to get the results next week.”
In the evening, Avery received a call from Tammy.
“Avery! I’m dying from laughter!” Tammy chuckled infectiously and said, “The lady we met in the afternoon is Chelsea’s younger cousin! Chelsea indeed wanted to present her cousin to Elliot, but she was cruelly rejected by Elliot! Hahaha!”
Avery listened to Tammy quietly.
“Because her cousin looks too much like you, Elliot was annoyed looking at her! Hahahaha!” Tammy’s laughter could not stop. “Your slap has caused him trauma!”
Avery’s heart constricted tightly. She secretly sighed. She has completely broken up with Elliot.
That was good too. She would not have to argue with him because of the child in the future.
A week later, in the morning.
Avery left the house and drove to the hospital. After parking her car, she went to a nearby café to have some breakfast.
She could not sleep the night before, so she was looking rather unwell.
Especially her body. She was feeling extremely exhausted, but she was eager to know the results, so she could not sleep.
Once it was eight in the morning, she immediately headed to the hospital to collect her results.
An hour later.
Tammy parked her car in front of Avery’s mansion. She came over to pick Avery up to head to the hospital to collect the results as they previously agreed upon.
Tammy entered the mansion and was about to head upstairs when the nanny said, “Avery is sleeping, don’t wake her up.”
“Okay! I’ll wait for her here until she wakes up.” Tammy sat on the sofa.
Half an hour later.
A black Rolls-Roice parked behind Tammy’s car.
Elliot got out of the car and walked over to the gate and rang the doorbell. Tammy saw his huge figure from afar and she was instantly baffled!
She ran upstairs to the master bedroom to wake Avery up!
“Avery! Elliot, that jerk is here! He must be here because of the child’s report!”
Avery was sleeping soundly when she was woken up by the noise. It was uncomfortable.
With a groggy expression, Avery pointed at her bag on the table and said hoarsely, “The results are in the bag. Go give…it to him.”
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 594
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 594
Avery took the report downstairs. Elliot heard footsteps and looked up at the staircase.
Their eyes met. The awkward atmosphere was looming around the entire living area.
“Mr. Foster, what brings you here?” Although Tammy was a little afraid of him, she was in Avery’s house. She had strong backup35 support.
Elliot ignored Tammy’s strange attitude. His gaze fell on the report in her hands. “Is Avery still asleep?”
“Oh, you’re here to take Avery to get the report?” Tammy said while flinging the report in her hand. “She has already taken itee back.”
“Give them to me.” Elliot took two steps forward and reached his hand out.
Tammy hid the report behind her back and took a jab at him, “Has your face healed? I thought you wouldn’t look for Avery anymore. I never thought that your child would be more important than your so-calledóf ego!”
Elliot’s expressions darkened immediately when he heard Tammy’s mocks.
“You care about the child so much, is there a throne that the child needs to inherit?” Tammy would not let Elliot go that easily. “Oh, your family has a huge business. There is indeed a throne that someone needs to succeed! It’s a pity that God’s will did not protect your child with68 Avery!”
Elliot’s body stiffened. His sharp gaze looked at Tammy’s face, not letting go of any changes in her expression. He tried to tell if she was telling the truth or not.
“Don’t tell me you think I’m lying?” Tammy looked7a stunned.
Elliot could not see signs of lying on Tammy’s face, but he did not believe her words just yet. It was unless Avery told him personally that they lost the child!
“Hand me the report!” Elliot barked, “Tammy, don’t force me to beat you again!”
“Are you threatening me?” Tammy took a few steps back. “If you hit me again, Avery won’t let you go!”
“Hand me the report!” Elliot took two steps forward toward Tammy and grabbed her arm tightly with one hand while trying to get the report with the other hand!
“You bastard! It hurts!” Tammy felt as if her arm was about to break! She has regretted it! She should not have provoked him. This man was not afraid of anything when he got mad!
Elliot managed to snatch the report over from Tammy.
At that moment, Avery came downstairs. She furrowed her brows and looked at them. She said in confusion, “What the hell are you two doing?”
They were so loud that she could not sleep at all.
Tammy immediately ran over to her and said in a low voice, “I lied to him and said that you lost the child. I was trying to intimidate him, but he became angry…”
Avery said, “Aren’t you just asking for trouble?”
Tammy said, “I don’t like him! I don’t want him to be so happy!”
Elliot lay his gaze on Avery for a short while before he lowered his head and looked at the report.
Although he could not understand the technical terms, he roughly understood the report.
Their child was most probably fine.
“Avery, is our child fine?” Due to his excitement, Elliot’s voice was a little trembling. “Will you be able to give birth to it?”
Avery said, “It’s fine for the time being.”
Elliot sighed heavily. Avery looked at his face. She had mixed emotions. She initially thought that he would not come to look for her that day. She never expected him to show up.
“Avery, since you have already gotten the report, I’ll make a move.” Tammy felt as if she was the third wheel. Although Avery and Elliot were no longer a couple, she felt that they might need to discuss the child.
After Tammy left, Elliot sat down on the sofa. Avery saw how Elliot was not planning on leaving, so she braced herself.
“You haven’t done this month’s maternity checkup, right?” Elliot said, breaking the silence. Avery awkwardly responded. She was too tired that morning, so she returned after getting the report.
Elliot looked at her and saw her reddened eyes. Thus, he said, “Go and rest! I’ll accompany you to the hospital for your checkup tomorrow.”
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 595
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 595
Avery initially wanted to sleep, but after being woken up by their noise, she no longer had the urge to sleep.
“Let’s do it now then!” Avery headed upstairs to grab her bag.
A moment later, she returned with her bag in hand.
Elliot’s gaze fell on her tummy. “Avery, do you not have a lift at35 home?”
“No.” She knew what Elliot was thinking about. He was worried that she would be too exhausted climbing stairs, affecting the child in her tummy, but she was not exhausted at all.
Even if her tummy grew bigger at a later stage, she still could bring herselfee upstairs.
“Either you move downstairs, or you install a lift. Your choice,” Elliot said to her in an unquestionable tone. “How am I going to install a lift? Are you asking me to tear down my house?” Avery glared at him. “If I can’t climb the stairs anymore, I’ll naturally move6f downstairs.”
Avery strode out of the house with Elliot following behind her.
When the bodyguard saw the two of them coming, he immediately opened the car door for them. They got in the car and headed to the68 hospital.
In the car, the atmosphere was rather cold.
Elliot suddenly reached his hand out and pressed a button. A screen in front of them suddenly rose, dividing the front and the back of the car into7a two.
Avery was baffled.
“Avery, since the child in you is fine, then give birth to him.” Elliot was afraid that Avery had forgotten their previous deal, so he reminded her and said, “The child is mine. When he is born, he will have the same surname as me. At the same time, I will raise him.”
Avery furrowed her brows. “You’re going to raise him? Do you even know how to raise children?”
Elliot replied, “I have money. I can hire a professional babysitter.
Avery said, “You weren’t this insistent previously. Is this because I hit you and you resented it, so you decided to steal the child from me?”
“What do you mean to steal? The child is mine!”
Avery saw how Elliot was not giving in. Her lips moved but no words came out. If he insisted
that way, Avery had no choice at all.
“Also, I won’t resent you for hitting me,” Elliot’s thin lips moved. He enunciated , “But that makes me realize that you’re not worthy of my love.”
His words were like needles pricking into her heart. It was not extremely painful but still uncomfortable.
Avery lowered her gaze. She hit him, so she has lost her right to speak.
“Avery, you’re the first woman ever to hit me.” Elliot took off his mask of pretense. He sounded aggrieved. “If you loved me, you would never have hit me.”
Just like how he has flared up in front of her countless times, but he never once thought to hit her. He would rather harm himself than hurt her.
Avery was ashamed.
“I want the child.” Elliot quickly collected his emotions, and his voice resumed its coldness.
After a while, the car arrived at the hospital. Elliot brought Avery directly to the ultrasound department
The head of the department personally serviced Avery. Once Avery lay down, the head of the department placed the scanner on her tummy.
Instantly, on the screen, the child’s face could be seen clearly!
Elliot stopped breathing! His deep-set eyes looked at the child’s animated face on the screen.
Avery saw the child’s face too. The child looked exactly like Hayden.
The head of the department glanced at Elliot and said with a wide smile, “The child looks like the father!”
Then, the head of the department moved the scanner further down. The child’s body could be clearly seen on the screen. The child’s sex was for all to see.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 596
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 596
“Mr. Foster, congratulations. It’s a boy.” The head of the department pointed at the child’s body characteristics on the screen to Elliot.
Elliot swallowed his saliva and said hoarsely, “Let me have a look at his face.”
The head of the department immediately moved the scanner up. It was a pity the child had already turned around. At that moment, they could only see his side profile.
“I have saved the photo of his front face just now.” The head of the department tapped open the child’s photo to show Elliot. “Mr. Foster, your son looks just like you! It’s already so obvious at first 35 glance.”
Elliot looked at the child’s photo. His heart softened. This was the first time that he truly felt that the child was a complete living being. He suddenly understood why Avery was so angry previously when he got the doctors to give her medication. That was because she understood much earlier than him that the child was a living being.
“I’ll print the photo out for you later,” The head of the department said, “Let me have a look at how this child isee developing.”
Elliot nodded his head.
A moment later, the head of the department said, “The child is on the smaller side. The mother needs to increase her nutrition intake. She has to rest more and not overexertof herself.”
Elliot looked at Avery. Avery blushed a little. She got down from the bed and left. A moment later, Elliot walked out with the ultrasound scan.
They entered the lift without saying anything. Due to a lot of people in the hospital, the lift was rather68 crowded.
Elliot was afraid that Avery was squished, so he stood facing her, protecting her within him.
Avery could feel his gaze burning into her. She quickly lowered herza gaze.
Soon, the lift was on the ground floor. He naturally held her hand and led her away.
“Avery, the doctor said that the child is not growing too well.” Coming out of the lift, Elliot said, “It’s going to come out in three to four months. Why don’t you stop working for the time being! If you need money, I can give it to you.”
Avery retreated her hands from his grip. She looked at him. “The doctor did not ask me to stop working.”
“The doctor asked you to rest more. You are a doctor too…” Elliot grabbed her hand once more, not letting her go.
“I don’t think I need to stop working just because I’m pregnant,” Avery interrupted him and said, “I don’t think I’m feeling uncomfortable. If I’m not feeling uncomfortable, I can work as usual.”
The child was in her tummy. If she wanted to work, Elliot could do nothing about that.
“Next time when you leave the house, you have to tell me.” Elliot requested.
Avery found it hard to believe. “I’m a pregnant woman, not a prisoner under house arrest! I don’t need to report what I’m doing to you! Don’t try to threaten me with the child!”
Elliot furrowed his brows. “What do I need to do for you to understand that I’m caring for you, not harassing you!”
“Maybe other women would like your ways of so-called caring, but it’s not me.” Avery took her phone out and hailed a taxi.
“I’ll go back on my own. We’ll see each other at the next monthly checkup. Other than that, there is no need to contact each other.”
He said that she was not worthy of his love. He also said that he wanted the child in her tummy. At that thought, Avery could not accept his pretentious kindness!
If she did not have his child in her womb, he would not have cared for her.
Elliot looked at Avery vanishing within his sight. He clenched his fists tightly. She always had a way to make him suffer.
However, at that moment, other than suffering, he had an extra son. It was not as if he had nothing
When he returned to the office, he switched on his computer. Chelsea knocked on the door and entered.
“Elliot, I heard that you went for a checkup with Avery. How’s everything?” When Chelsea finished talking, she saw the ultrasound scan on the desk.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 597
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 597
Chelsea picked the ultrasound scan up. She saw the child looking like Elliot and a wave of detest rose from the bottom of her heart.
“This little buddy looks like you! It’s a boy, right?” Chelsea asked with a smile.
Elliot responded and kept the ultrasound scan. “Why are you here?”
“It’s my cousin’s first day at the office today, I thought I’d let you know.” Chelsea smiled gently. “Elliot. Congratulations! You’re going to be a father! This kid looks so much like you. I’m sure he’ll be as amazing as you35 are.”
Elliot’s expressions subconsciously relaxed. At that moment, that child was his only hope.
Chelsea came out of his office and remained smiling all the way back to heree office.
The moment she entered her office, her expression immediately changed! She was furious!
Their child was fine! How could God be so cruel toof her!
Nora entered her office and saw the documents scattered on the floor. She immediately asked, “Chelsea, what happened?”
“Hehe, what happened? I regretted it!” Chelsea gritted her teeth. “Because he doesn’t like children, so I removed my womb so that he wouldn’t be so on guard with me! Look what has happened now! He has a son with68 Avery!”
Nora picked up the documents on the floor and placed them on the table. “Chelsea, you sacrificed too much for him, which is why he took you for granted.”
“I know! But if I don’t sacrifice, I don’t even have the chance to be near him! Look at you! You’ve done yourself up to look like Avery, but has he ever glanced at you? He has always been so cruel and7a elusive!”
“Chelsea, don’t get so worked up. We’re sisters. United, how are we not a match for Avery?” Nora had a condescending look. “As long as she has not given birth to the child, nothing counts!”
Chelsea took a deep breath. “I won’t let Avery give birth to that bastard of a child! I would have been able to bear children! Elliot cannot do this to me!”
In the afternoon, Elliot got his assistant to contact Eric.
Eric and his manager arrived at Sterling Group under the protection of a bodyguard.
“Avery asked me to return this to you.” Elliot returned Eric his black card.
Eric raised his eyebrows a little and accepted the card. “It’s you that wanted to return me the card, right? Avery accepted it previously.”
“Is that so? Why did you give her a credit card? Is this one of your tricks in wooing women?” Elliot’s gaze was sharp. His tone was even more so.
Eric said, “This is something between her and I. Mr. Foster, as her ex-husband, aren’t you a little too nosy?”
“Ex-husband? The child she is pregnant with right now is mine!”
“That doesn’t change the fact that you are just her ex-husband. Whether I gave her a credit card or if other men did that to her, she has the freedom to accept them. Even if she is pregnant with your child, she still could get married to other men. You have no right to interfere,” Eric said calmly.
Elliot’s eyes reddened, aggravated by Eric’s words!
“Are all young men like you so shameless nowadays? You want to be my child’s step-father? You must be sick of living!”
Eric said, “Mr. Foster. Age has not made you into a more cultured person. You are extremely rude.”
Elliot said, “F*ck off!”
After Eric left, Elliot took his phone and made a call. He wanted Eric to know what would happen if he coveted his women!
The next day, all of Eric’s works were taken off the internet. All brands started terminating their contracts with him.
Eric was the only celebrity who was boycotted without any scandal. No matter how famous he was, he could not beat the power of capitalism.
Avery did not notice the news on the internet. She only knew about this when his manager called her.
“I’ve already found out who is behind this! It is Elliot boycotting Eric! Miss Tate, I’m begging you! Please go and talk to Elliot!”
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 598
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 598
Avery was shocked! She could not believe it! How could Elliot do that! Why did he boycott Eric? Why! Eric’s manager recounted the incident painfully, “Elliot’s assistant contacted me yesterday, saying he wanted to meet Eric. So, I brought Eric over to Sterling Group. As for what they talked about when they met, I don’t know, but when Eric came out of Elliot’s office, he looked glum. They must have fought. I never thought that Eric would be boycotted…”
Avery said, “How is Eric right now?”
His manager replied, “He is still alright. After all, if he quit the entertainment industry, he could still return home and take over his family’s business, but I don’t want him to quit! He was born a celebrity! Miss Tate, you have to help35 Eric!”
Avery said, “Don’t worry, I’ll go look for Elliot right now.”
His manager sighed in relief. “Thankee you!”
After the call, Avery went through her contacts and found Elliot’s. Elliot and Eric did not have any personal contact with each other. If they met, it must be because Elliot was returning the card back to Eric.
Throughout this process, there must be some conflict between them. In the end, this matter happened because of6f her.
Just when she was about to call Elliot, her office door had been pushed open.
Mike strode in. “Avery, Eric has been boycotted! I called Chad. He said that he had left with Elliot this morning on a business trip. They are not in68 Avonsville!”
Avery was stunned. Elliot did it on purpose. He must have! He was afraid that she would look for him, so he went on a business trip!
Avery pressed the dial with trembling7a hands.
“I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service, please try again later.”
Not only was he on a business trip, but he also even shut his phone!
His intentions were clear. He wanted to boycott Eric! He was not willing to let her look for her to talk about this!
Avery was so furious her temples hurt.
“Avery, don’t get angry! It will affect the baby! He can’t be on a business trip forever,” Mike comforted her. “Let Eric treat these few days as a holiday.”
Avery found it unacceptable. “Where is he off to?”
Mike immediately tried to persuade her. “Are you going to look for him? Didn’t you say that the child isn’t growing well, and you have to rest properly? Calm down! Don’t be so impulsive!
Mike said and poured her a cup of water. Avery accepted the cup of water and drank it all. The rage in her heart was still burning violently.
Elliot bullying Eric meant that he was also bullying her! Did Elliot think that she would just obediently let him bully her?
“Mike, go and book a hotel. At the same time, invite all media. This evening at seven. I am going to announce an important matter.” Avery said to Mike with sparkling eyes.
Mike furrowed his brows. “Avery, what are you trying to do? Don’t tell me you’re going to announce to the media that you and Eric are together?”
Avery did not reply to his question. “Just do it.”
At six in the evening, the Tate Industries announced on their Tweeter. It said, (7 p.m., see you there!)
After the text, were the tagged accounts of the brands that dropped Eric from their endorsement.
At the same time, a live stream link was posted too.
The live stream had not started at that moment, so no one could see what was streaming at that moment, but from the tagged accounts on the Tweet, the live stream would most likely have something to do with Eric.
An hour later, the live stream began. The host that night was Avery’s secretary.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 599
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 599
Avery’s secretary faced the camera and smiled. She said with an insuppressible excitement,” Good evening, everyone! Welcome to Tate Industries’ live stream! I’ll cut to the chase! Please give a hand and welcome our President, Miss Avery Tate!”
A deafening round of applause rang out.
Avery was in a V-neck evening gown. The gown exposed her perfect figure. Her baby bump was for all to see!
The other person that appeared on stage together with her was Eric! He was helping with her gown’s35 train.
The views watching the live stream shot up immediately, growing constantly.
Comments kept coming inee too! [Back when the Tate Industries was in trouble, Eric appeared and helped them! This time, Eric is in trouble and the Tate Industries lends him a helping hand! I’m so touched by this friendship!)
[I will always remember the brands that canceled their contract with Eric! I will never buy their products anymore! I will remember Tate Industries! I will be the first one to buy their new products in the6f future!)
[Eric is too hot! Ahhhhhhh! Babe! No one can boycott you ever! No! One!)
[Has anyone noticed Avery’s baby bump? She’s pregnant! Whose child is it? Could it be68 Eric!
[Avery’s child can’t be Eric’s! Eric has said if he ever was in a relationship, he would tell the fans!)
7a…
Avery that night was not only wearing a sexy evening gown, but she also made up intricately.
She was so attractive that she did not lose outstanding next to Eric. They were like a pair match made in heaven.
Avery accepted the microphone from her secretary. She faced the camera, smiled, and said, ” Hello everyone online and our media friends here, good evening! I believe that everyone has seen today’s news. This incident happened too suddenly. It’s absolutely absurd! I’m now announcing that I have decided to invite Eric Santos to be the spokesperson for all our products.
“Back then, when Tate Industries was in danger, Eric stood up for us bravely. He helped us through a tough time. I will forever be indebted to Eric. Today onward, Tate Industries and Eric Santos will go forth hand in hand. I believe that nothing can’t be overcome.”
Upon Avery’s words, the audience burst out in rapturous applause.
At the same time, the fans of Eric on the live stream started swiping streamer gifts!
When Avery’s secretary saw the fireworks going on the screen, she could not help but exclaim, “Miss Tate! Eric’s fans are giving us a lot of gifts!”
Avery firmly said, “Turn off the gifting function.”
The secretary immediately shut down that function. The comments online went crazy!
[No wonder Avery is Eric’s goddess! From today onward, she is also my goddess!]
[If we can’t swipe gifts, then I can only buy their drones!]
[To all of Eric’s fans! Now, only Tate Industries are supporting Eric. Let’s go boost Tate Industries’ sales! Supporting Tate Industries means we are supporting Eric!]
The brands that had canceled their contract with Eric that day were bewildered upon seeing that. Elliot forced them to drop Eric as their spokesperson. They canceled Eric’s contract on behalf of Elliot.
However, at that moment, Avery live-streamed on the internet, openly collaborating with Eric. What the hell was that?
One of the brand managers comforted them, “Don’t worry! Mr. Foster will surely teach Avery a lesson! By tomorrow, she will surely cancel her contract with Eric!”
“But I heard they were once in a relationship.”
“That was in the past! Mr. Foster is now single.”
“Oh, whose child is Avery carrying? Do any of you know?”
“No matter who it is, it will definitely not be Mr. Foster’s!”
Elliot was looking at the live stream. His brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
The gown that Avery was wearing that night exposed half of her breasts. She exposed her tummy unabashedly too. On top of that, she was properly made-up. It was as if she changed into a different person. His gaze was frigid as if he could murder someone!

In the black Rolls-Roice, after Chad accepted a phone call, he looked at Elliot.
“Mr. Forster, Mike just called me. He invited me to head to the hotel to have a meal,” Chad hesitated, “Do you want to come along?”
Elliot’s expressions darkened. “They didn’t invite me. Why should I go?”
Chad said awkwardly, “I heard that Avery called you this morning, but she could not get through to you. Why don’t…you two meet and talk? Don’t look at her smiling so much in the live stream tonight. Mike said that she was extremely angry. I’m guessing that she wore this tonight to deliberately make you38 angry.” .
Elliot’s gaze darkened. “How do you know she did not wear it for Eric?”
Chad could feel Elliot’s rage, he dared not say much30 more.
At the hotel, Eric was teaching everyone how to control the latest drone model of Tate Industries. Later, under the enthusiastic request of everyone, he sang for them too.
The live stream suddenly became an online99 concert!
Avery came down from the stage. Mike took a light jacket and wanted to put it on her but Avery refused.
“It’s summer. I’m notag cold.”
Mike said, “But the aircon is quite cold.”
“I’m not cold.” Avery placed her palms on the back of his hands to let him feel her body temperature. “Pregnant ladies are afraid of the7a heat.”
“Okay then! Just now, a few reporters came to ask me. They are very interested in the father of your child,” Mike said, “It looks like the viewers for tonight’s live stream have already exceeded my expectations. By tomorrow, almost everyone on the internet will know that you’re pregnant.”
Avery has thought about this outcome before, but she was not afraid.
“Pregnancy is not an embarrassing thing. If they know about it, let them be.”
“But you’re not married!” Mike pointed out the main issue. “So the public would especially want to know who the father is.”
Avery said, “If they want to know it, that’s their issue. It doesn’t have to affect my life.”
“Oh… Aren’t you afraid that they would find out that the child’s father is Elliot?” Mike twisted
open the cap of a water bottle and passed it to her.
“I can’t possibly just stay home and not see others because I’m afraid that they might know about this, right?” Avery accepted the water bottle and took a sip. “Furthermore, I’m doing this tonight because he forced my hand.”
Mike shifted his gaze downward. He glanced below her neck. “This is the first time I have seen you wear such sexy clothes. Why did I never know that you have such a good body? I’m sure someone will go mad tonight! Hahaha!”
Avery knew who the someone he was referring to, but she did not care about that someone’s feelings.
“Are you tired? If you’re tired, I’ll send you back first,” Mike said, “I called Chad. He said he and his boss had already returned, so I called him over to have a meal. He…might bring Elliot along too.”
Avery raised her eyebrows. “Who allowed you to invite Chad over?”
Mike scratched his head. “Your fight with Elliot should not affect my relationship with Chad!”
“Okay, fine! I’m not tired. I’ll leave with Eric later.” Avery stuffed the bottle of water in Mike’s hand. “I’ll go listen to Eric singing.”
A moment later, after Eric finished his song, he invited Avery up on stage to sing a duet with him.
Everyone’s gaze fell on Avery. She blushed a little. She smiled, lifted the train of her gown, and was about to walk upstage.
At that moment, at the entrance of the venue, a huge figure in black appeared.
Mike noticed Elliot who was beside Chad. He was a little stunned but not too surprised.
Mike has told Chad about the live stream that night beforehand, so Elliot would definitely have watched the live stream on time.
Without mentioning how attractive Avery looked that night, just by her intimate interaction with Eric, Elliot might not be able to take it.
Mike whistled secretly. Avery still had tricks up her sleeves! She knew how to make this proud man bow down to her!
Mike tugged Avery’s arm and whispered two words in her ear, “He’s here.”
Avery looked toward the entrance of the venue. Elliot has already entered by then. His cold gaze landed on her. The arrogant aura he emitted was so different from the others.
