When His Eyes Opened Chapter 601
Avery pushed Mike’s hand away and collected her thoughts before walking up on stage. She accepted the microphone from her secretary and faced Eric,
Even in the crowd could only see her side profile, they could still clearly see the tip of her beautiful, raised eyebrows.
The intro of the song played and they both looked at each other on stage, as if everything around had nothing to do with them.
Elliot walked to the front of the stage. The bodyguard pushed the people away from him. The atmosphere there was extremely za strange!
No one expected that Elliot would come!
The insiders all vaguely heard that it was he who boycotted Eric. Therefore, they were even more stumped as to why he appeared there. Was he there to find fault with Eric or78 Avery?
Whatever happened next would be something to watch.
Mike noticed that Elliot’s gaze did not seem right. He immediately sent Chad a message, I When they have finished singing, I’ll take Avery away. Keep your boss in place! Don’t let him get up on the stage to cause a scene! We’re still liveb9 streaming!)
Chad replied, [I’ll try to keep him in check!]
Mike texted, (Count for yourself and see. How many times has this happened? He clearly knows that he is no match for Avery, yet he still wants to make her angry every time! I’m so done withcb him!)
Chad replied, (Shut up! It’s their affair , let them deal with it! No matter what we say, they’ll still do it their way.)
Mike replied, (Okay. Avery looks gorgeous tonight, 7a right?]
Chad swept a glance at Avery on stage. (From the side, her tummy looks huge!)
Mike texted, (Out of all things you only bloody saw her belly?]
Chad replied, (If not? Should I look at her boobs? She is Mr. Foster’s woman! I won’t dare to look!]
Mike replied, […]
Once the four-minute love ballad duet ended, Mike strode up on stage and grabbed Avery’s arm, leading her off stage.
Elliot’s expressions were extremely darkened by then.
Once Avery left the stage, Eric immediately placed the microphone down and followed her.
Chad carefully said to Elliot, “Mr. Foster, why don’t you go and talk to Avery!”
Elliot’s cold gaze retracted from Avery.
“She wants to talk? Sure! Get her to come to my house to look for me! I don’t want to see that baby face!” Elliot spat before storming off. Everyone was baffled at him leaving angrily.
He only came to listen to one song before leaving. They thought that something dramatic would happen!
Chad walked over to Avery and passed on the message.
“Avery, don’t go and look for him!” Eric grabbed Avery’s arm and pleaded. “Even if I quit the entertainment industry, I don’t want you to look for him!”
Avery looked at Eric gently and said calmly, “Hmm, I won’t look for him. I’m a little tired. I’ll head back to rest. There will be a dinner banquet later, have some food before you leave.”
Eric let go of Avery’s arm.
Half an hour later, the bodyguard sent her home. Avery directly went upstairs , removed her makeup, showered, and changed into a comfortable pair of pajamas.
After doing all that, she picked up her phone on the bed and looked at the time.
It was almost ten at night. Would it be inappropriate if she went to his house to look for him then?
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 602
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 602
If Avery did not look for Elliot that night, she would surely lose sleep. She hoped that Eric’s career would resume as soon as possible, if not she would continue to worry.
After a short moment of hesitation, she came out of her room. The children were already asleep. The entire house was in pin-dropped silence. She could even hear her heart beating.
What was she afraid of? She was pregnant with his child at that moment. No matter what, he would not dare to harm her.
The nanny and the bodyguard have left work. Avery drove to Elliot’s mansion on her3c own.
40 minutes later, her car parked by his gate. She came out of the car. The guards saw her face clearly with the help of the streetlights and immediately opened the gates.
Avery was pregnant with Elliot’s child at that moment, who would dare to stopcc her?
Avery walked to the door of the mansion. Mrs. Cooper immediately came over and bent down, changing shoes for Avery.
“I can change them on my own,” Avery immediately stoppedc5 her.
Mrs. Cooper said, “Avery, you’re pregnant with a child right now. Don’t bend down if you can. Mr. Foster said that you’re coming, so I made you some. Soup.”
Even though Avery had some food in the evening, she was still quiteec hungry.
“He told you that I’m coming?” Avery’s heart skipped a beat.
“Yes! He got me to prepare some food.” Mrs. Cooper changed Avery’s shoes and helped her toward the dining hall. “I made your favorite dishes, but I don’t know if you still have the appetite for them. Many pregnant women’s tastes changed drastically before and after26 pregnancy!” Avery was a little in a daze. She was there to look for Elliot, not to have supper. However, Mrs. Cooper was a little too enthusiastic, it was hard for Avery to refuse her.
After sitting down by the dining table, Mrs. Cooper served her three dishes and a bowl of soup, as well as some potatoes, placing them in front of her.
After taking a sip of the soup, Avery asked, “Is Elliot asleep? I’m looking for him.” It was almost eleven at night. Avery regretted a little for being too impulsive.
Mrs. Cooper said firmly, “No. He knows that you’re coming. How could he have gone to bed?
Once you’re done eating, I’ll go get him.” Avery let out a sigh of relief. “Hmm. The soup tastes good.”
“Drink less, if not you might have to get up to pee in the middle of the night. This would affect your sleep quality.” Mrs. Cooper smiled, but her eyes seemed rather sad. “Avery, your tummy is quite big already, you shouldn’t get angry so often. If there are any problems, communicate them well…”
Avery said, “Hmm, I will talk to him properly.” After supper, Avery came out from the dining hall. Elliot was in casual loungewear, sitting at
home. She did not know when he came downstairs. Avery walked over to him. She was about to say something when he said, “Why didn’t you wear that slutty dress over? Am I not worthy enough for it?”
His cold voice caused ripples in her calm heart. She wanted to talk to him properly, but clearly, Elliot did not want to. “Elliot, don’t be unreasonable! I’ll wear what I want!” Avery blushed. She sat opposite him on the sofa. “It’s late. I’ll cut to the chase. Undo your boycott on Eric. This is our affair. I do not want to affect the innocent.”
“Innocent? He wants to become my child’s stepfather. Do you think he is innocent?” Elliot smirked and sneered. “If I don’t teach him a lesson, that baby face will disrespect me!’ “Can you stop saying such harsh words? He gave me his card for me to keep. When he gets married, I’ll return it to him. That’s all!” Avery could not help but raise her tone.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 603
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 603
Why do you need to help him keep his card? Are you his mother? Will you automatically have a motherly love every time you look at good-looking guys?” Elliot enunciated every word aggressively.
Avery furrowed her brows. Her mind blanked instantly. She long knew that it would be impossible to reason with this man. To avoid her losing her temper and waking the others in the mansion, Avery got up from the sofa and walked over to him. “Let’s talk in the room.”
Elliot quickly got up from the sofa upon hearing what Avery said.
He clutched her arm and brought her to hiszf bedroom.
The moment the room door closed, Avery cut to the chase and said, “Elliot, I don’t want to waste my time with you. By tomorrow, I must see Eric’s work back on the internet! You can bully me, but you can’t bully my friends! If you think I’m threatening you, then so be it!” “Are you threatening me with the child in you?” Elliot’s gaze fell on her belly. She smiled as if he was mocking20 her.
Avery would never do a thing to hurt the child, so it was pointless to use the child to threaten him.
Avery looked at him smiling. She was secretly annoyed. “Elliot, you’re childish! Didn’t you go on a business trip and not answer my calls? Now you’re forcing me to come to look for you. The most pathetic person isd1 you!” The smile on Elliot’s face vanished. “Is this your attitude begging me?”
IA
“I’m here to talk to you, not to beg you. Don’t think that just because you’re rich you could simply decide how other people live! If you don’t undo the boycott on Eric by tomorrow, I’ll continue with the live stream!” Avery said, “I don’t think you would dare to boycottb2 me?”
Of course, Elliot would not dare to do so. If he dared to do anything to her, he would have done something already on the live stream that night!
Elliot looked at Avery’s slightly raised chin. He swallowed his saliva. “Continue live3c streaming?”
“Yes! I have already thought about the content tomorrow!” Avery looked at the fire of anger raging in his eyes. She added fuel to the fire, aggravating him even more. “I’ll announce to everyone who the father of my child is! Many asked me this question today. I believe that they must be interested in this!”
Elliot pursed his lips hard. His breathing turned heavy. If she were to announce to the entire internet who the father of her child was, he did not mind. He only worried about her and the child’s safety.
Avery saw how her words did not manage to threaten him, she thought hard to come up with something else.
“If you insist on boycotting Eric, I don’t need to save you anymore.” Avery took a deep breath and decided to go all out. “The live stream the day after before, I will announce that even though the father of my child isn’t Eric, I want to be with him!”
.
Eric’s eyes suddenly turned vicious. Avery was so frightened she took a few steps back Just when she was planning to secretly retreat to the exit and then run out of the door, she was lifted by him.
If she was not pregnant at that moment, Elliot would definitely have directly thrown her on the bed. However, he did not completely lose it! when he placed Avery down on the bed, he clearly controlled his strength.
“Elliot, you…”
–
“Shut up! I don’t want to hear a single word coming from you any more tonight! If you dare defy me, I’ll make sure that you won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow!” Elliot threatened her rudely and savagely in a hoarse voice. He looked at her with reddened eyes.
Avery was so frightened she shut up. That night was long and torturous. He released all of the anger and resentment in him.
After doing the deed, he touched her belly with his huge palms. It was as if then only he remembered about the child in her tummy. When he slept soundly, she carefully picked up his phone.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 604
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 604
Dawn soon came.
A breaking piece of news quickly filled up the headlines of all internet media!
[Elliot Foster: I Did Not Boycott Eric Santos.) The headline was straightforward and41 eye-catching!
Tapping into the headline, one could see the entire press release. Although the article was not long, its intention was clear. Elliot pointed out that he was not familiar with Eric. He did not boycott Eric. He would not do it then, he would not do it in the future.
The brands who canceled their contract with Eric were86 bewildered!
What did Elliot mean! What did he mean! Was Elliot two-faced?
Elliot’s phone was blasted by calls and messages, but that did not affect his sleep, because his phone wasbf off.
Everyone could not get to Elliot, so they could only call Chad instead. Chad had been drinking the night before. When he was woken up by the ringing of his phone, his head hurt terribly because he was hungover.
Who would have thought that his head hurt even worse when he picked up theb8 call!
“News? What news? Mr. Foster would never say such a thing!” Chad got up and looked for his glasses. “Don’t panic. Let me ask what it is all about before giving you all a reply.”
After hanging up, Chad put on his glasses and simply opened one of the newsec app.
When he saw the news article, he furrowed his brows in a daze for a very long time.
“What happened?” Mike noticed that Chad sat there without moving, so he sat up as well.
Chad showed Mike the news. “Avery must have gone to look for Mr. Foster last night. Mr. Foster will never approve an article like this. He would never say something like ‘I didn’t do it’. This is not his style.”
Mike glanced at the news and said distractedly, “Are you saying that Avery sent this article
out?”
“Yes.” Chad rubbed his temples. “It’s too awkward. The brands that dropped Eric were all baffled. They must have thought that Mr. Foster has a split personality.”
Mike could not help but laugh out loud, “What does your boss being humiliated have to do with you? Furthermore, he was the one that got himself into this. I can only say that he deserved it!”
“Bloody hell! 1 must quickly think of a way,” Chad said and tried to call Elliot. Elliot’s phone was switched off. He must have still been asleep.
Chad also tried calling Avery. Her phone was off too!
“Why is Avery’s phone off too? I suspect she must have spent the night at Mr. Foster’s.” Chad wanted to confirm his suspicions, so he dialed the landline of Elliot’s mansion.
Mrs. Cooper picked up the phone.
“Mrs. Cooper, did Avery look for Mr. Foster last night?” Chad asked.
“Hmm! They are still resting!” Mrs. Cooper said with a smile.
Chad’s face turned hot. “Okay, I understand.”
In the master bedroom in Elliot’s mansion. The sun shone through the window. Elliot slowly opened his eyes. He smelled a unique body aroma only belonging to her.
Looking at Avery sleeping soundly, his attitude turned extremely gently. He liked it when she was silent and obedient. How good it would be if she could always stay submissively by his side.
He could not help but touch her cheeks. The instant his fingers came in contact with her skin, she furrowed her brows a little. Avery let out a very soft hmm as if she was trying to complain.
Elliot could not bear to wake her up, so he stopped touching her. When he covered her with the sheets, he saw her baby bump and his heart melted. Inside her was their son. He looked forward to the arrival of the little kid. He would work hard to be a good father.
Elliot actually did not hate children. He was only afraid that his children would inherit his sickness. Thus, he would rather not have kids than painfully pass on his sickness to them.
This was a pain he could tell anyone.
After tucking her in, he got out of the bed. He washed up and headed down for breakfast. Mrs. Cooper saw how spirited he looked, she smiled and said, “Chad called just now.”
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 605
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 605
“What did he say?” Elliot sat in his chair, picked up the glass of milk, and took a sid.
“He asked about Avery and hung up.”
After breakfast, Elliot went upstairs to get his phone. Chad called him so early in the morning. Something must have happened.
Elliot picked his phone up and pressed the power button once. The screen did not light up as he43 expected.
He pressed the power button longer. His phone turned on. He furrowed his brows. He did not remember switching off his phone the night before, why was his phone switched off?
Once his phone was on a bunch of missed calls and messages. His chest tightened and tapped into thece messages.
[Mr. Foster, have you seen the news today? I’ve seen it and lost all appetite for breakfast.)
[Mr. Foster, what is your stance on Eric Santos? I don’t understand. I’m indf shock.]
(Mr. Foster, are you not boycotting Eric anymore? Can we partner up with him again?)
da…
After looking at the messages, Elliot looked at the woman sleeping soundly on the bed with a cold gaze.
Before breakfast he was still gently caressing her face, thinking of doting on her his entireec
life.
At that moment, he only thought of torturing her badly until she begs for forgiveness!
C
However, the moment the idea appeared, he got rid of it immediately. She was still pregnant with his child at that moment. He could not be reckless!
If he wanted to be a competent father, he wouldl have to learn how to control his emotions!
He grabbed his phone and left the room.
When Elliot arrived at the Sterling Group, Chad immediately entered his office.
“Mr. Foster, I was talking to Public Relations just now. Right now, we have two options,” Chad suggested solutions, “The first is to deny today’s news and say that you have never said anything about Eric.”
After Chad suggested the first solution, Elliot threw his phone on the desk. Chad picked up Elliot’s phone and noticed his email account. There was an email that was sent by ‘him’ to some reporter at three in the morning.
When Chad read the message, a chill ran down his back, spreading throughout his entire body.
“Uhm Avery sent this from your phone after you fell asleep?”.
Elliot’s gaze was so cold he could murder someone. “What do you think?” Would he have done such a humiliating thing to himself?
Chad did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “Then, we can only use the second solution, which is to generously compensate the brands.”
Money was nothing to Elliot. The thing that made him furious was how Avery humiliated him! She crossed a line!
Could he not have discussed it with him before deciding? Did she have to secretly send the reporters an email behind his back?
“Mr. Foster, don’t you have a lock setting on your phone?” Chad kindly suggested, “Why don’t you set one now in case something like this happens again?”
“Can I lock her up?” Elliot said coldly, “She could still use my thumb to unlock the phone when I’m asleep!”
Chad forgot about this point. They slept with each other again the night before. This once again proved that Elliot could not resist Avery!
At Elliot’s mansion, because no one disturbed Avery, so she slept all the way until noon.
When she woke up, the memories of the night before flooded her mind. Her face turned hot!
Avery did not dare to stay too long in Elliot’s house. After dressing up, she secretly went downstairs and decided to sneak off.
“Avery, are you not going to explain yourself?” Elliot had a cup of coffee in his hands. He gritted his teeth and said, “If you dare take a step out of the door, I will break your legs!”
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 606
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 606
When Avery heard Elliot’s voice, a chill ran down her back.
Did Elliot not go to work, or did he wait for her to wake up at home?
Avery awkwardly turned around and looked at him. Elliot was in a suit, with a serious expression on his face.
The sun shone in through the window and fell on him, yet it made him look even more46 aloof.
“I did take your phone to send out an email,” Avery came clean, “I’ll admit that it’s wrong of me to take your phone without your permission, but you did not talk to me before you boycotted Eric.”
Avery admitted her mistakes, but she did not regret making34 them.
“Avery…”
“Why are you calling me? Are you trying to settle a score with me? I didn’t say I wanted to stay with you last night, you thug!” Avery raised her chin and retorted, “If I were you, I would shut up and just let this thingcd go.”
Elliot was at a loss of words upon hearing what Avery said.
Mrs. Cooper saw how they were arguing, she immediately came over to pacify the situation.” Avery, lunch is ready. You should be hungry, right? Come and havege lunch!”
Avery’s stomach grumbled before Avery could refuse. She did not have breakfast that morning, so she was famished at that moment.
Ever since she got pregnant, her appetite increased tremendously. Even at times, she might feel slightly nauseated, but that did not affect her appetite23 either.
Elliot at that moment felt as if a bucket of cold water had just been doused over him. All his emotions calmed down.
“Master Elliot, go have some food too! Don’t get angry with Avery. She’s pregnant with a child now and it’s tough for her too.” After Avery left for the dining hall, Mrs. Cooper went to Elliot and took over the cup of coffee from him.
Mrs. Cooper’s advice worked.
So, what if Avery took his phone and emailed reporters? It was not as if she sent out his nudes. It was just a slight humiliation. Compared to his embarrassment, the child in Avery was obviously more important.
in the dining hall. They sat opposite each other.
Avery was starving, so she buried her head and ate with vigor.
“Slow down, don’t choke on your food,” Elliot reminded with furrowed brows.
Avery paused for a while before calmly scooping a spoonful of soup and drinking it down.
Perhaps she had enough food already, she suddenly felt like talking to him.
“Elliot, I heard that you have a new staff member that looks like me.”
“Are you talking about Chelsea’s cousin?”
“Do you think she looks like me?” Avery placed the bowl of soup down and calmly looked at him.
Elliot said, “Only on the outside.”
“Oh, do you think she looks better than me?”
Elliot looked up at her. “Have you had enough food already? You’re asking such lame questions.”
“Why are you not answering me? If you say that she looks prettier, I won’t do anything to you. I’m not like you, who gets angry so easily,” Avery provoked, forcing Elliot to answer her question.
Elliot put down the utensils in his hand. He wiped his mouth with a napkin and said seriously, “If I think that she’s prettier than you to the point that it’s dazzling, the woman laying next to me in my bed last night would be her and not you.”
Avery was speechless. He could have just answered the question. Why must he bring up the incident the night before?
Looking at her scrunched-up brows, Elliot teased, “Now who’s the one who said that they don’t get angry easily?”
“I’m not angry. I just think that this is a little disgusting,” Avery said what was making her unhappy, “Could it be that they think I attracted you because of my looks? How absurd. I am so much better on the inside.”
–
Looking at how self-absorbed she was, the coldness in his eyes vanished. He teased in a hoarse voice, “Yes, I was dazzled by your inner beauty last night.”
Avery had goosebumps upon hearing what Elliot said.
“I’m full. I’ll make a move first.” “I’ll send you off.” Elliot got up and chased after her.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 607
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 607
“No need.” Avery regretted it terribly. She should not have chatted with him. At that moment, not only could she not continue the conversation, but she was also feeling awkward too.
“Avery, I still have something to talk to you about. I’ll send you home. We can talk on the way, “Elliot’s tone was unquestionable.
Avery grabbed her bag and followed behind him. Coming out of the mansion, he reached his hand out to her. “Pass me the keys.”
“How are you going to come back later?” After asking this question, Avery saw from the corner of her eyes that his bodyguard had driven another car46 over.
Avery sighed secretly. No matter where Elliot went, his bodyguard would follow along. Why did she need to worry about him?
After getting in the car, Elliot drove the car calmly. After the meal, Avery’s blood sugar spiked, so she was a little34 dizzy.
“Avery, what are your plans for the children during their summer break?” Elliot asked the question he wanted to discuss with Avery about.
Avery furrowed her brows and suddenly she was no longer groggy. Elliot was so concerned for Hayden and Layla. Did he already know that they were hiscd children?
Looking at how sensitive her reaction was, Elliot could not help but explain, “You’re pregnant now. It’ll be harder to care for the kids. Why don’t you sign them up for summer camp?”
“Oh, Hayden’s school has arranged his summer holidays. As for Layla, I haven’t decided whether I want to sign her up for any summer activities,” Avery saidge conflictingly.
“You can discuss it with her, see what she wants to do.”
“I know. You don’t have to worry about this.” Avery looked at Elliot’s side profile. She hesitated for two seconds before saying, “Elliot, if you really want me to properly stay healthy for the child, you will stop bullying my23 friends.”
Elliot furrowed his brows. “Avery, the people you should warn are your friends. They were the ones that made me angry in the first place.”
“Of course, I’ll tell them to stay as far away from you as possible, but can you control your temper?” Avery said seriously.
“In your heart, your friends are always more important than me.”
Avery’s temples hurt. What was the point in comparing?
To prove that he indeed wanted Avery to stay healthy for the child and not make her angry, Elliot turned on the music and ended the argument.
Elliot drove to the Starry River Villa, but he did not enter together with Avery. When Avery entered and changed shoes, she saw Elliot getting into the bodyguard’s car from the corner of her eye.
This man was indeed stubborn and proud. If he insisted that he was not in the wrong, even if vou grabbed his head, he would never admit that he was in the wrong.
“Avery, have you eaten?” The nanny asked her immediately when she saw Avery returning.
“Yes.” Avery sat on the sofa and saw a few letters on the coffee table.
“Hayden took this home last night,” The nanny explained, “Also, Layla’s summer break is starting tomorrow. Mike went to attend her school activity today.”
Avery opened the letter. It was detailed information about the summer camp. She looked at where the summer camp was happening, it was in Bridgedale.
Avery could accompany Hayden to Bridgedale. Then, she would see if Hayden could adapt to the summer camp activities. If he could fit in, she would return alone. If not, she would bring Hayden back together with her.
In the afternoon, Avery drove to her office. The moment she entered the office, the vice president pushed and entered her office too.
“Miss Tate, the live stream last night was amazing! Our sales increased tremendously today!” The vice president smiled widely. “There are rumors on the internet saying that this is a tactic that you did with Elliot. Now the entire internet knows about our company!”
Avery laughed self-deprecatingly. “Then should we have given Elliot some commission?”
The smile on the vice president stiffened. “Did you really join forces with Elliot?!”
Avery said, “Can you use your brain for a second? Do you think that’s possible?”
The vice president said, “It’s possible! Isn’t the father of the child in you Elliot? The entire company knows about it!”
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 608
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 608
Avery was stunned.
“Initially everyone was just privately discussing who the father of your child is. Last night, Elliot suddenly arrived. Although he said nothing, he kept looking at you. It’s too obvious!” The vice president chuckled.
Avery said, “Eric was also looking at me last night.”.
“That’s different. If the child is Eric’s why would Elliot continue harping over you? Elliot is not the type who would let himself lose.” The vice president said46 vividly.
Avery opened her laptop.
The vice president continued, “Elliot boycotted Eric. So many big brands chose to cancel their contract with Eric because they did not dare to defy him. Only our company would dare to do so, why? Because you’re pregnant with his 34 child.
“Last night during the live stream, many called me to ask me to advise you to not be so rash. They said that Elliot would surely come looking for us for trouble. Look at today’s headlines! I was laughing my head off!”
“Miss Tate, the scandal this time made our company the biggestcd winner.”
Avery opened her email to look at the job reports for the day. The sales last night were higher than the sales of the previous month. No wonder the vice president was so happy.
“If this trend continues, as long as our core technology won’t be surpassed by others, Wanda won’t be able to defeat us,” The vice president said confidently, “Eric is now our spokesperson. He has a huge fan base! Although he has been boycotted, that does not affect his fans buying our products to avengege him.”
Avery nodded. “I’m going abroad the day after tomorrow.”
“Okay. Miss Tate, your tummy is getting bigger by the day. You don’t need to come to the office. Don’t tire yourself from traveling. I will let you know at first notice if anything happens, “The vice president23 said.
Avery said, “Thank you.”
“The company is progressing so well, it’s all thanks to you,” The vice president lamented, “If your father in heaven could see how well you managed Tate Industries, he would be relieved.”
Avery lowered her gaze. She hoped her father could rest in peace.
During the evening, a black Rolls-Roice drove into the old Foster mansion. Ever since his mother passed away, Elliot has never come over anymore.
That night, his brother called him and insisted that he came over.
Elliot got out of the car and strode into the living area. Other than Henry and his family, Zoe was there too.
When Zoe met Elliot’s eyes, she immediately looked down.
“Elliot! You haven’t come for quite a long time! Let’s go have a meal and we can talk over it,” Henry said affectionately.
They entered the dining hall and sat down.
Henry cleared his throat and said, “Elliot, I called you over today because there is something important that I need to tell you. Zoe is pregnant with Cole’s child for about more than a month. Initially, I’m against them being together, but now that Zoe is pregnant…”
Elliot had no reaction on his face. “That’s good. I remembered that Zoe said she could not get pregnant easily. Since she got pregnant, she should give birth to the child.”
Henry let out a sigh of relief upon Elliot’s reply. “I plan to wait until at least three months then I’ll let them get engaged. As for the wedding, we could do it after the child is born. What do you think about that?”
Elliot said, “Just let me know once you set the date.”
Henry said, “Okay! We brothers have not drank together for a long time! We have to drink tonight!”
Elliot raised his glass and took a sip.
An hour later, the drunk Henry was brought back to his room by his wife.
Elliot has drunk quite a bit too. His handsome face had a shade of red.
“Elliot.” Zoe chased after him to the front yard. “I have really loved you previously. Even if you’re the unattainable President of the Sterling Group, I still love you! My love for you is definitely not less than Chelsea’s or Avery’s love for you, yet why are you so cruel to me?”
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 609
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 609
“That’s because you’re stupid.” Elliot was drunk, so he did not mince his words. “I gave you three hundred million dollars. You could have done something with it, yet you chose to mix with Cole. That proves that you two are birds of the same feather.”
His words brutally hurt Zoe!
The 300 million dollars was long taken away by Avery!
If Zoe still had the 300 million dollars, why did she have to compromise to get Cole to be with her by using the child in46 her?
Cole was the man with the best conditions that she could find at that moment.
The bodyguard helped Elliot into the car. Soon, the Rolls-Roice disappeared into the dark34 night.
Zoe raised her hand to wipe her tears away.
Not far away behind her, Cole had both hands in his pocket. He said coldly, “Zoe, look at yourself! You embarrass me! My uncle has long abandoned you, why do you make yourself look like a sad dog! The man that you need to please now iscd me!”
Upon hearing his mocks, Zoe turned around. “Cole, when I had money, you wouldn’t dare talk to me like that!”
“You don’t have any money anymore! You won’t be able to earn that much money in the future too! You should accept the reality and just bear me children. All you need to do is take good care of my parents. I won’t treat you badly.” Cole looked at her like he was doing charity. “You’re not getting any younger soon, stop having unrealistic dreams. I’m willing to marry you and that should be yourge honor!”
Zoe broke down and cried. After her falling out with Wanda, Wanda completely abandoned her and her father.
Zoe’s father was heartbroken and returned to Bridgedale. Zoe was not willing to return to Bridgedale just like that. Coincidentally , she felt uncomfortable and found out that she was pregnant, so she used that to tie Cole23 down.
Perhaps Cole was right. Her life would just be like that for the rest of her life!
At the Starry River Villa, after Avery showered, she started packing for Hayden’s summer camp.
Layla was following beside her, busy as a bee.
“Layla, do you want to join a summer camp like Hayden?” Avery smiled and asked.
Layla shook her head without thinking. “Mommy, didn’t Uncle Eric tell you that he is taking
me out during the summer holidays?”
Avery was stunned. “Did he say that to you?”
“Yes! He asked if I wanted to be on an entertainment program with him. He said we could have fun while earning money…”
“Layla, this is huge! Why did you only tell me now?” Avery was stunned, “Are you sure you want to be on a program? Will you be afraid?”
“If I’m with Uncle Eric, I won’t be afraid. Mommy! Let me go play, please!” Layla blinked her huge innocent eyes. “I told Hayden about this. He said I should go if I wanted to, if not I would surely disturb you at home, Mommy.”
“So, I’m the last to know about this?” Avery had a look of disbelief. She paused for a while and said sternly, “I don’t agree…” Layla immediately pecked a kiss on Avery’s cheek. “Mommy, just let me go! I want to experience earning money!”
Avery was speechless.
A day later, Avery brought Hayden along on a flight to Bridgedale. Layla, on the other hand, followed Eric to a city to film their entertainment program.
When Elliot knew about these two matters, his expression turned extremely cold!
It was one thing for Avery not to report to him for leaving the country. Who allowed her to let Layla enter the entertainment industry?
Did Avery really think that he did not know that Layla was his daughter? She was forcing him to expose this thin facade!

Chad could guess why Elliot was angry. He immediately explained, “Avery did not want Lavla to go into entertainment. It was Layla who pleaded and insisted on trying it out. You know it too. Layla is so adorable. Few could truly refuse her.”
“Layla might be immature, but is Avery? Avery is her mother. She should guide her child, not spoil her!” Elliot said sternly.
Chad said, “If Layla were to come and plead with you, can you do it without being unbiased?”
Elliot’s expressions darkened. “Let’s not talk about whether I can do it or not. I realized that your loyalties are starting to lie somewhere46 else!”
Chad immediately stated his stance. “Definitely not. I’m only putting myself in Avery’s shoes. If Layla were to come and plead with me, I would definitely give in to her. After all, she is so adorable. I have never seen a cuter girl than her.”
Chad’s ass-kissing instantly wiped away Elliot’s34 anger.
Elliot knew that Layla was adorable. After all, Layla looked like Avery. Avery has often made him angry, but he has never once truly taken any action against her. If Avery shrunk a few times smaller, becoming like Layla, he would only become even more soft-hearted.

“It must be that baby face, Eric, that instigated this!” Elliot said with furrowed brows, “If he did not look for Layla, Layla wouldn’t have donecd this.”
Chad nodded. “Yes, this move of Eric is too manipulative! He didn’t discuss it with Avery because he knew that Avery wouldn’t agree to it. After all, Avery is not short of cash. She would definitely not let Layla go into the entertainment industry to sell herself. Eric directly persuaded Layla instead, catching Avery off guard!”
Elliot clenched his fists tightly. His gazege darkened.
Chad was afraid that Elliot would do anything rash, he reminded Elliot, “Mr. Foster, you were forced to say that you would not target Eric in the future only a few days ago, so…don’t do anything that would embarrass yourself anymore.”
Perhaps Eric did cross a line by getting Layla into the entertainment industry, but Chad felt that Eric would definitely take good care of23 Layla.
Elliot picked up his cup of water and took a gulp, forcing himself to suppress his anger.
“Avery went to Bridgedale to send Hayden over. According to her, she would be back in two days,” Chad continued, “Avery was afraid that Hayden would not be able to fit in summer camp, so she went with him.”
Elliot lifted his gaze. “Did she take her bodyguard along?”
“Yes, she did,” Chad said, “Avery is familiar with Bridgedale. She has a lot of friends there too. I don’t think there should be much of a problem.”
Elliot said, “Have you forgotten about the kidnap previously?”
Chad asked embarrassedly, “Then, do you want to head over there?”
“Didn’t you say that she would be back in two days?” Elliot lowered his gaze. It was not that he was not worried for her. It was just that they just fought. If he were to chase after her to Bridgedale, it felt embarrassing to him.
“Hmm. If you don’t go to Bridgedale, you could go to Konad City to…have a look. Layla’s entertainment program is filming at Konad City.” Chad paid utmost attention to Elliot’s ego.
Elliot considered for a while but he did not immediately decide. At Bridgedale, after Avery and Hayden landed , Hayden was picked up by the summer camp’s bus.
The summer camp’s activities were done in seclusion. Avery could not follow along. She could only wait for the teacher’s comments that night or the day after.

“Miss Tate, let me send you home to rest,” The bodyguard said to Avery.
Avery had slept for a few hours on the plane, she was not sleepy at the moment.

“I’m not going back home for now. I’ll go see a friend first.” Avery looked at her phone and found her friend’s contact. She dialed. After making the call, they agreed to meet up at a restaurant.
