When His Eyes Opened Chapter 811
Chapter 811
At five minutes past midnight, Elliot landed at the airport in Bridgedale.
Mike was at the airport to pick him up. It was not Avery that told him to pick Elliot up, but Chad called him to make sure he picked Elliot up at the airport.
As for where to send Elliot to after picking him up, Chad said that he was to send Elliot back to Avery's house, to let Avery arrange the next part, so after Mike picked Elliot up, he sent him back home.
At that moment, the bodyguard, servants, and the children have gone to bed. However, Avery was waiting in the living area.
When Mike saw her, he yawned. "I've picked him up, I don't think there is anything I need to do anymore, right?"
Avery ignored him.
Elliot was looking at Avery closely. There was no one else in his view.
Mike felt as if he was nothing at that moment. He felt awkward and aggrieved at the same time. He said, "So, I'll go back to my room?"
Still, no one responded to him. He slipped back to his room and planned to complain about it to Chad.
In the living area, when Avery saw Elliot carrying his own suitcase, she asked, "You didn't bring a bodyguard?"
"Hmm. " He was there to spend the New Year with her and the children, so he got the bodyguard to take a leave too.
He was in Bridgedale, not Aryadelle. He did not know many people there.
Avery's mind was suddenly in a mess. It was late at night already. She still had to take him to his room, but the room was indeed a little small. It was previously used as a storage room. After all, their house had not housed so many people before.
After Robert's birth, Avery hired a nanny and a bodyguard, so the house did not have enough space anymore.
During the daytime, she was confident that it would be fine for Elliot to sleep in the small room.
However, once he was there, Avery could not bear to let him sleep in the small room.
"Are you hungry? Mrs. Cooper has prepared some food for you. I'll go heat them up." Avery planned to
distract him with a meal so that she could return to her room to take out her daily amenities so that he could sleep in the master bedroom.
However, Elliot shook his head. "I'm not hungry. I've eaten on the plane."
"Oh. It's late. Let's put you to bed!" Avery led him to the room worriedly.
Elliot followed behind her, measuring her long hair <a)&- " >w slender figure up from a close distance.
She was always that thin, as if she would fall if a wind blew by.
Arriving at the master bedroom, she opened the door.
When Elliot noticed that Avery brought him to her room, his handsome face flushed an unnatural tinge of red, making him look rather sexy.
Was she letting him sleep in her room? Were they going to sleep together?
"Uh...the room is a little messy. Let me tidy up a little." Avery blushed, quickly entered, and walked over to the side of the bed.
Elliot placed his suitcase down and helped her tidy up too. His hands were longer than hers, so he quickly tidied the things on the bed.
"Avery, are you really planning to let me sleep in your room? " Elliot gazed at her with his jet-black eyes.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 812
Chapter 812
Avery's room was filled with children's daily amenities. It was obvious that she cared for her children. If she had planned to let him stay in her room, she would have cleared it up.
Avery hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to be honest with him. "This house isn't that big. Now that there is another baby around, so I hired a nanny. Although the security here is not bad, for the sake of safety, I hired a bodyguard. They take turns staying over daily..."
Avery explained so much when she was only trying to say one thing.
"If there isn't any extra room, I can go to a hotel." Elliot did not want to trouble Avery.
" It's not that there isn't any extra room... " Avery lowered her gaze and said softly.
If it was not that late at night, she would most likely get him to stay at the hotel already. He came
over this time without a bodyguard. It was already so late at night. What would happen if something were to happen to him if he went out alone?
Elliot was confused at Avery's answer. If there was a n extra room, why did she let him have the master bedroom?
"You take my room, I'll sleep in the other room." Avery was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding, she immediately added, "The other room is a little small, I'm afraid you won't get used to it."
"As long as they're a place to stay, I'm fine. It's okay if it's small." A hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes, but he quickly collected his emotions.
"I'll bring you to go have a look." Avery headed for the door.
Elliot carried his suitcase and followed Avery to the small room. This room was indeed a little small.
Other than the bed and a nightstand, there was no
space for other furniture. Even the bathroom was small enough only for one person.
This was the mansion's default design for the nanny's room. However, Avery did not want to feel like she was mistreating the nanny, so she got the nanny to stay in the guest room.
At that moment, she could not just get the nanny to move to the nanny' s room just because she had a guest.
If it was only meant for staying one night, like Tammy being drunk for one night <c”?):y leaving the next day, it would be fine.
However, Elliot was not only staying for one night. He was there for a few days, so Avery was a little embarrassed to bring him to the small room right from the beginning.
"I'll stay here." He placed his suitcase in the room. " As long as there's a place to rest."
Avery nodded. "Then, I'll go get you some toiletries.
"Okay."
Although he brought a suitcase, it could only fit a few sets of clothes. One was because he left in a rush, he did not have the time to pack more thoroughly. The other reason was that he rarely did such tedious matters.
A moment later, Avery arrived with a full set of toiletries.
Elliot 's suitcase was already open. Avery could not help but sneak a peek at it.
"Did you not bring pajamas? She noticed that his suitcase was filled with formal wear.
"I forgot to bring them." Elliot took his clothes out from his suitcase, planning to hang them on the rack.
"Oh. Mike should have an extra one. I'll go get it." Avery said and left.
A moment later, she returned with a clean set of pajamas.
"Go rest after your shower. The children get up early. It would be noisier at home during the day," Avery reminded him.
Elliot nodded. "You go to bed too!"
Before she left, she glanced at the room once more. She finally understood Mike 's worries during the day.
Elliot was such a towering figure. He looked out of place standing in such a small room. It felt as if he would knock into the wall if he was not careful.
Thinking back about his mansion back in Aryadelle, his living area alone was larger than an entire commercial flat. Since when has he stooped to such a low level?
However, he would not stay in her bedroom. He insisted on staying in the nanny's room! She could not possibly have forced him to stay in her room, right!
Returning back to her room, Avery lay in bed but could not sleep.
She found it unreal. Elliot came just when he said he would. Before seeing him, she always felt that they would surely get into a huge fight every time they met.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 813
Chapter 813
Although they did not have any obvious conflicts at the moment, in the past, they could take any single matter and fight for three days non-stop!
However, after seeing Elliot, Avery calmed down. He was not there to fight with her. Perhaps the children were there, so they were not like before, losing their temper at any moment.
In the nanny's room, Elliot finished his shower and walked to the bed to sit.
He picked up his phone and saw a message from Chad. It was a message regarding the hotel.
[Mr. Foster, I've booked you into a hotel closest to Avery's house. The hotel provides transportation too. It takes less than 1o minutes to and fro. It won't take up much of your time with the kids.]
Chad could not accept that Elliot would be treated this way!
It was fine if Avery did not love him, but could she not torture him?
Elliot replied, [I'm staying at her place. Cancel the booking.]
[Didn't she put you in the nanny's room? Why doesn't she let the nanny stay there? It must be small, right? How could you possibly stay there?]
Chad's reaction made Elliot feel as if he was being arranged by Avery to stay in a dog cage.
Although the nanny' s room was a little small, the bed was at least one and a half meters. To Elliot, as long as he could sleep, that would be enough.
He was there to see Avery and the children, not on a holiday.
Elliot did not want to explain much. He merely replied, [I'm going to bed.]
Then, he put his phone down. What was strange was that he had already slept on the plane, but when he lay down in bed, he soon fell asleep.
He even forgot to take his medication.
Usually, when he was home, if he did not take his medication, he would surely lose sleep.
Did that mean that Avery was much more effective than medication?
The next morning, after Avery got up, she immediately went to look for Layla to ask her to be quiet. Elliot had sat a more than ten-hour flight
over. On top of that, he needed to adjust to the time difference. Avery wanted to let him sleep in longer.
Just when she was combing Layla's hair, Mrs. Cooper hurriedly rushed in.
"Avery, Mr. Foster knocked his head on the wall! He has a huge bump on his head! Go help him deal with it, please!"
Mrs. Cooper blamed herself very much.
She initially brought Robert to Elliot's room to show him. When she knocked on the door, Elliot knocked himself against the wall because he was too anxious to open the door.
At that time, he was washing up in the toilet. He knocked on the wall when he came out of the washroom. Mrs. Cooper heard a loud sound from outside the door!
Avery never thought that the thing she worried about the night before would happen so fast.
She immediately went to take her medical suitcase < h,)< + >k rushed over to Elliot's room.
Elliot was sitting by the bed, clutching his head with one hand. His face seemed peaceful enough.
When his eyes met with Avery, he avoided her a little, because he felt a little embarrassed. Not only
did she have to care for the children, but now she had to care for him too.
"Let me have a look." Avery walked to him and placed her medical suitcase on the bed, opening it u
Elliot hesitated for two seconds before moving his hand away. He explained, "I'm not bleeding. It's not that painful anymore."
"Don't think that just because you're not bleeding it's not serious. There are bruises on your head, which means you knocked too hard. We'll go do a C T scan at the hospital later."
Elliot lifted his head and looked at her. "I'm sure that's not necessary?"
Avery lowered her gaze. "I'm the doctor, listen to me."
Elliot instantly lost all bravado. Not only was she the doctor, but he was also at her place.
"You'll sleep in my room tonight, " Avery said in a commanding tone while disinfecting his wound with a disinfectant.
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 814
Chapter 814
Elliot let out a muffled harrumph. Avery did not know whether it was in response to her, or he was in pain.
There was some shuffling coming from the door.
Elliot looked over to see Mrs. Cooper carrying Robert while Mike carried Layla. Four of them stood outside the door, peeking into the room to check out the situation.
They could actually just enter the room to have a look. Eliot did not know why they had to stand outside the door.
Although it was a little embarrassing that there was a huge bump on his head, it was not that awkward that he did not dare to see anyone.
Avery dressed for his bruise and kept her medical suitcase.
"Go have breakfast. After breakfast, I'll take you to the hospital," Avery said. "I'll head there myself."
"Are you familiar with the hospital here?" Avery retorted, "I know people. We can go straight to do
the scan. If not, if you wait for the hospital's procedure, you might not be able to do it today."
Elliot was speechless.
Although he was rich, he was not at Aryadelle. He also has connections over there, but it was indeed easier to rely on Avery for medical consultations.
Elliot and Avery came out of the room. Everyone's gaze landed on Elliot's face.
"Daddy, why did you knock yourself?" Layla looked at Elliot in confusion.
Mike gasped, "Didn't I tell you the reason already? The room your father is in is too small."
Layla glanced at the room. "But I don't find it small at all!"
Mike said, "That's because your father is much bigger than you. This room is not small for you, but for your father, it's too small."
Layla looked at Elliot once more. "Oh, Daddy, you poor thing. But I can't get you to sleep in my room because Hayden would never agree to it. You can sleep in Uncle Mike' s room though. Uncle Mike ' s room is huge! The bed is huge too! You two can sleep together. It's nota problem."
Mike was bewildered.
Elliot's expressions changed. He immediately said, " I can sleep in your mother's room."
Mike let out a sigh of relief.
Layla looked confused. Then, she said out loud, " But you two cannot have another child! We don't have enough rooms at home!"
Elliot ;c*.?" =x Avery were dumbfounded.
Because of what Layla said, Elliot was distracted all during breakfast.
Avery's mansion was clearly too small already. It was not that Avery did not have the money to change to a bigger mansion. Why did she not move to one?
He could help her buy a new mansion, but Avery would never accept his kindness.
After having her breakfast, Avery saw how hesitant he looked, she immediately said, "I'll wait for you outside."
Elliot came to his senses. He chugged the milk in one gulp and went after Avery.
On the way to the hospital, Avery broke the silence. "Don't take Layla's words to heart."
"What did she say?" Elliot did not react in time.
Avery's face blushed red. She quickly changed the subject. "Are you still in contact with Jun? Why is his number out of service?"
"He did send me his new number. Do you want it?" Elliot said and took his phone out. He found Jun 's new number and sent it to her.
"It's not for me. He suddenly changed numbers, isn't that a little cruel?"
"Are you standing up for Tammy?" Elliot looked at her. "Am I missing some crucial information?
Wasn't it Tammy that insisted on a divorce?"
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 815
Chapter 815
Avery heard Elliot's tone. It did not sit well with her.
"Elliot, do all men think like you? Why would Tammy want a divorce, don't you know why? If Tammy doesn't love him, she doesn't have to worry about him being pressured by his parents..."
"Avery, if Jun insists on being together with Tammy, no matter who pressures him, this is something that he has thought about and feels that he could bear it. Now, whether it's Jun changing numbers or him getting married, it's his freedom."
The two of them did not argue over their own matter, but they fought because of Jun and Tammy.
However, Avery soon calmed down quickly. She gave Elliot's words serious thought. After some thinking, she thought that what Elliot said made sense too.
"Why does everyone like to think from their own standpoint and do things that they think are good for the other party when it's actually not?" Avery lamented.
"Because they think that they are right," Elliot replied. "This not only applies to Jun and Tammy but us too."
Avery remained silent. Even if she knew where the problem was, it was still hard to change.
This was not a situation that could be changed by one party alone. Both parties needed to change together.
When they arrived at the hospital, Avery brought Elliot to see a doctor that she knew. The doctor brought Elliot for a CT scan while Avery patiently waited in the office.
About 40 minutes later, the doctor brought Elliot back with the results.
"Avery, your friend's head is fine." The doctor passed the results to Avery. "Are you free in the afternoon? I want to buy you a meal."
Avery looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, I have something on later."
"Is it important? We haven't chatted for a long time," The doctor lamented.
"I have a friend coming over. He just called him and said that he was coming to look for me," Avery explained, "I'm sorry. I will be in Bridgedale for the time being. I'll buy you a meal one day."
"Okay, deal. I'll wait for your call."
"Okay."
Coming out of the office, Elliot asked her, "You have a friend coming? What friend?"
"Eric. He is at the airport. "Avery looked at her. " We're going to the airport to pick him up."
Elliot was on guard. "Is he staying at your place too?
"Do I still have a place for him to stay?" Avery was done with Elliot's imagination. "I'm guessing he is here to give the children gifts."
" It's clear what he is up to by trying to please my children, " Elliot's cold voice came over.
Upon hearing that, Avery chuckled. "Your head is already so swollen, yet you still have the time to think nonsense. Although you didn't have a concussion, you still need to rest."
Elliot pursed his lips :g%S = (*m said nothing more.
A moment later, they arrived at the airport and successfully picked Eric up.
Eric was a little surprised when he saw Elliot, but he did not care for Elliot.
Once he got in the car, he took a gift box out and passed it to Avery. "Avery, Happy New Year."
Elliot was sitting in the passenger seat in front. Looking at the intricate gift box, his eyes were cold.
Avery happily accepted the gift. She opened it and saw a shimmering necklace with precious stones.
"This must be expensive! I've already said before to not give me expensive gifts." Although Avery liked the necklace a lot, she found it too expensive.
She barely finished her sentence when Elliot had already snatched the box over and returned it to Eric.
"Whatever jewelry that she likes, I can buy it for her. She can buy it on her own too. She doesn't need you to give it to her." There was undisguised aggression in his tone.
Avery furrowed her brows. Just when she was about to say something, Eric said, "Oh, so other than fighting with her, you would also buy her gifts?"
His calm jabs infuriated Elliot to no end!
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 816
Chapter 816
"Elliot, " Avery called him when she saw his darkened expressions. She immediately said, " It's the New Year. You don't have to argue just on small matters."
He slightly calmed down upon hearing what she said.
Eric said, "I have been giving Avery gifts every festivity, other than giving her a ring, I have given her every other type of jewelry. You usually don't care for her, now I'm just doing what I usually do, what right do you have to get angry?"
Avery's impression of Eric was always a gentle one. At that moment, when he was questioning Elliot, she felt it rather strange.
Of course, she did not get angry at Eric because of what he said. Eric was targeting Elliot because of her.
"So what?" Elliot raised his eyebrows. He said condescendingly, "Are you together with her already? If not, shut up."
Eric was speechless because of this. It made Avery angry too.
"Elliot..."
"Are you going to drive or not? If not, I' ll drive," Elliot interrupted her.
He knew that Avery was going to stand up for Eric, but he did not want to hear about it.
Avery took a deep breath and opened the car door. She got out of the car from the driver's seat and went to the backseat to sit together with Eric.
Elliot calmly moved from the passenger seat in front to the driver's seat. The moment his hands touched the steering wheel, Avery regretted it.
"Do you have a driving license in Bridgedale?"
Elliot stepped on the gas pedal and calmly replied, " No, but I have been driving for twenty years."
Avery's head hurt. Looking at his stance, she doubted he would plan to step out of the driver's seat.
Eric passed his gift to her once again. "Take it. Every gift I gave you, I picked on my own. If you refuse this, I'll be sad."
Elliot saw Avery's change of expression from troubled to become softhearted from the rearview mirror. In the end, she accepted Eric's gift.
"Eric, this is the last time. If you're going to give me jewelry again the next time, I'm not going to take it. I don't like wearing jewelry. It's not convenient whether I'm working or taking care of the children."
"Then, I'll give you something else next time," Eric said softly.
"How many days off do you have?" Avery asked.
"It's up to me. If I want to work, I could work every day. If I want to rest, it's the same too." He smiled >«S% >!?k teased, " I don't quite like the New Years'.
Ever since I was cured, my parents have been urging me to have children."
"They might just be afraid of losing you once more. If you have children, they might feel that your life has been extended, " Avery "said, standing from his parent's perspective.
"I know, but I can't just live my life according to their wishes. " Eric smiled bitterly.
"Hmm, talk to your parents. Don't fight with them. No matter what their requests are, they come from a good place."
"Avery, you sound just like my mother."
"Because I have children, so I can understand how your parents feel."
"Although you have children, you're still single." When Eric said this, he rose his voice a little. He meant to say this for Elliot to hear.
Avery was single. Anyone could pursue her, and Elliot had no right to interfere!
A moment later, the car stopped at the parking lot of a mall.
Avery looked out of the window. She was stunned. " Elliot, why did you bring us here? Are you lost?"
Elliot's expression was cold. His tone was even colder. "Get out!"
Avery furrowed her brows. Before getting out of the car, she said to Eric, "Eric, wait in the car, I'll go talk to him."
Then, she got out of the car and strode to Elliot. "Elliot, why are you throwing a tantrum!"
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 817
Chapter 817
Elliot grabbed Avery' s wrist and pulled her along into the mall without saying a word.
Avery instantly understood his meaning.
"Elliot, I don't want you to buy me gifts! I only want to go home right now!" Avery tried to break free from his clutch, but he held her tightly.
"Why did you not refuse Eric's gift?" Elliot retorted, "There is no reason for you to accept his gift but not mine."
Avery thought that she had misheard him. How could he possibly say such childish things?
When Eric saw Elliot forcing Avery along, he immediately pushed open the car door and ran over.
"Why are you following us?" Elliot looked at Eric in detest. "You're a big star, aren't afraid that others would recognize you? Don't you drag Avery and me down, lest the paparazzi take photos of us!"
Eric retreated to the car because of what Elliot said. Eric was not worried about the paparazzi, but he knew that Avery did not like her photos being taken.
After Eric returned to the car, Avery glanced at Elliot. "The next time you want to give me a gift, buy it beforehand. Don't you think it's a little awkward right now?"
Elliot said, "Eric should be the awkward one. He is showing off in front of me."
"How is he giving me gifts showing off?" Avery questioned Elliot, "Who are you to me?"
Elliot's dark eyes met with hers. "I am whatever you say I am. I am fine with anything."
Avery was speechless. His reply made her short of breath and blushed. She did not know what to do.
Elliot pulled her along to a jewelry store.
"Take your most precious jewelry out," Elliot said to the salesperson in a hot-tempered manner.
The salesperson was delighted upon hearing what he said, "Sir, our high-end custom-made selections have to be collected at the flagship store. Please tell me your budget, so I can recommend you accordingly..."
"As long as she likes it, the price is not a problem, " Elliot demanded.
The salesperson immediately took an intricate album to show Avery.
"Miss, this is our high-end custom-made selection. Which one do you like, I'll immediately get someone to send it over for you to try."
Avery looked at the album. Before she could look closely, her stomach grumbled.
She did not eat much that morning. It was already noon at that moment. She was so hungry she felt a little dizzy.
"Elliot, I'm hungry. Let's head back to have lunch first!" She closed the album ;f+(;4=u tried to discuss it with Elliot.
Elliot was not willing to return home empty- handed.
He passed her the water that the salesperson served him. At the same time, he asked the salesperson, "Do you have some food here?"
"Yes, I'll get them to send some over."
Avery was so awkward she slapped her forehead.
Elliot flipped through the album and started to look through it seriously. He was more inclined to a minimalistic style, but he remembered how dazzling the necklace that Eric gave to Avery was. Was it because Avery liked it?
He picked a similar type of necklace and showed it to Avery.
Avery looked at it and asked him seriously, "This is such a dazzling necklace. If I'm going to wear it, I have to make up and dress up nicely. I would need to get a gown too..."
Elliot said, "Even if you don't put on make -up or dress up, you would still look beautiful wearing it."
Avery raised her eyebrow. "Are you trying to say that the necklace itself is very pretty, no matter who wears it, it'll be pretty?"
Elliot corrected her, "You have it the other way around."
What he meant was she was gorgeous. She would look good no matter what she wore.
When Avery understood what he meant, her body heated up.
Elliot was giving her gifts and flirting with her. What was he trying to do?
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 818
Chapter 818
When they came out of the mall, Eric saw how they were standing closer to each other and seemed more relaxed. They looked like any other couple in the streets.
When they entered the mall, they were still tugging around as if they were fighting.
What made them reconcile so quickly was definitely not the gifts in the mall. If Elliot could resolve their conflict by giving Avery gifts, they would not fight all the time.
It looked like Elliot gave in to Avery.
When they returned to the mansion, Avery kept her gifts in her room. She never thought that Mrs.
Cooper had already moved Elliot's things over.
"Didn't you say you were hungry? Go have some food first!" Elliot said.
"Hmm, I'll go pack up a little. Take my room tonight. I'll go to the small room."
"If that's the case, I'll take the small room." Elliot did not want to take up her space. "This morning was an accident. I'll be careful in the future."
"Are you threatening me?" Avery looked at the bruise on his forehead. "Are you trying to sleep with me?"
"Forget about trying." Elliot entered the room and shut the door. "So, what if I sleep with you? Do you think I can do anything to you?"
Avery blushed red. She never thought he would say such cheap words.
"You just had a baby. What do you think I'll do to you?" He walked over to her and loomed over her, looking down at her. "How could I bear to watch you stay in the small room?"
Her misunderstanding of him immediately vanished. His body warmth overwhelmed him. She pushed him away, troubled. "Let's have some food!"
When in actuality she was not hungry.
When they were buying the necklace, the salesperson gave her some food. It tasted quite good, so she had quite some of it.
Coming out of her room, they realized that others were already seated at the dining table.
When Mrs. Cooper saw them, she immediately said, "Come eat! Layla said she was hungry, so we have started eating."
Because Eric was there, the children's attention was all on him. On top of that, Mike had more things to talk about with Eric, so naturally, Elliot was being left out.
After lunch, Avery got Elliot to rest. "Are you coming as well?" Elliot asked.
" I'm not taking a nap. Eric is leaving at night, I'll spend some time with him now," Avery did not care about Elliot's reaction. She said calmly, "You're hurt. You need to rest more. I don't want you to return back to Aryadelle with your injuries still unhealed."
Avery said <d' !=!= n headed to the living area.
Eric brought gifts for the children. When Hayden and Layla received their gifts, they immediately opened them.
"Avery, this is for Robert." Eric passed Robert' s gift to Avery. "I don't know what to get him, so I bought him a coin of his zodiac."
Avery accepted the present. "Eric, I think you spend at least half a year thinking about what to buy for me and the children."
"Haha, at least my life wouldn't be that boring, " Eric said and changed the subject. "Have you and
Elliot reconciled? I see that he is very jealous."
"Even if we haven't reconciled, he is just like that," Avery said, "He said that he would not get married, but he wouldn't let me get married to. He is single right now, but he wouldn't let me have a boyfriend either."
"What right does he have dictating you?" Anger flashed in Eric's eyes.
Mike chuckled, "Haha! Eric, you don't understand. Even if they are not together, that doesn't mean that they don't love each other! Elliot knocked his head this morning, he wasn't bleeding but Avery still sent him to the hospital for a CT scan. If I were t o knock my head, I wouldn't receive this treatment.
Avery glared at Mike.
Mike coughed and took his phone out. "I'll call Tammy and see if she wants to come over."
Avery said, "Elliot is here. She wouldn't want to come."
Mike asked, "Why? Because Elliot knows her ex- husband? But you know her ex-husband too?"
Avery said, "Elliot and Jun are not just acquaintances. They are close. Tammy is strong-headed, she would not want to let Elliot see her being sad."
"So, what if Elliot sees her being sad? Let's take a step back, so what if Jun sees her being sad?" Mike shrugged. "I don't know whether she is hungover or not. I'll go pick her up."
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 819
Chapter 819
"Okay, if she doesn't want to come, don't force her, " Avery said.
"Okay."
As Avery expected. Tammy did not want to come, but it was not because Elliot was there. It was because of Eric.
Tammy was a fan of Eric. She wanted to see him badly, but because she drank too much the night before and cried terribly in the night, her face was extremely puffy that day. Her eyes were reddened and puffy that she could barely open them. She could not see anyone under such conditions.
After dinner, Avery sent Eric off. When she returned to the living area, she saw Elliot carrying Robert. This was the first time she saw Elliot carrying a child. She could see that he was a little nervous. His body was tense, especially his arms.
Elliot was tall. He had slender limbs. Robert, on the other hand, was extremely small. Elliot was probably afraid that he might drop the child.
"He knows I'm carrying him, but he is not crying at all." There was a hint of delight in his tone.
Mrs. Cooper smiled and said, "Robert is still young, he doesn't recognize anyone yet!"
Elliot responded awkwardly.
"Mr. Foster, you have to live with the kids, only will they be close to their parents when they grow up," Mrs. Cooper advised, "Once you're back in Aryadelle, you should move to Avery' s house and take care of Robert together! Not only for Robert but also for Layla and Hayden. "
When Avery heard what Mrs. Cooper said, she immediately looked at Elliot.
Elliot was engrossed in looking at Robert. It was like he did not hear what Mrs. Cooper said.
Mrs. Cooper saw Avery looking at her, she smiled and said, "Robert just woke up. Mr. Foster wanted to carry Robert, so I passed Robert to him."
"Hmm. Had Robert had his milk? I'll go make him some, " Avery said and went to the disinfectant box to retrieve his milk bottle.
Elliot carried Robert and followed her. He wanted to learn how to make milk for his children. Once he knew how to do it, he could make it for Robert too.
"Are you tired, carrying him?" Avery asked.
"He's so small. It's not tiring at all."
"Then you carry him longer." Avery' s arms were sore from carrying Robert. Her back was sore too, which was why she always put him on the bed.
Suddenly, an idea appeared in her mind. "Should Robert sleep with us tonight?"
Elliot understood why Avery said that. She did not want to spend time alone with him.
"Hmm." Elliot did not mind. He has never taken care of children before. At that moment, he was willing to try anything for his children.
In a blink of an eye, it was nine at night. Avery put Layla ?bSff= + ?m Hayden to bed before returning to her bedroom.
Robert was in the middle of the huge bed. Elliot was sitting by the bed, holding a toy and playing with Robert.
After Avery entered, Mrs. Cooper left the room.
"You go take a shower first." Elliot looked at her exhausted face. He said heartbrokenly, "Just go to bed after your shower. I'll take care of Robert tonight."
Avery felt a little moved. If Elliot wanted to be a good father, she would not stop him.
She took her pajamas and entered the bathroom.
Half an hour later, she came out of the bathroom and saw Elliot, topless, carrying Robert.
"Why did you take off your clothes?" Looking at this thin-fit body, her face blushed hotly.

Elliot swallowed his saliva and said confusedly, “He was crying just now, so I fed him some milk, but he puked after drinking. Did I do something wrong?”
Avery understood and walked toward him. She looked at Robert. His mouth still had some white foam.
“Babies puke. Once he grows older, he will be fine.”
“But he didn’t puke when you fed him in the afternoon.” Elliot suspected that he did something is wrong.
He was not exaggerating, but when Robert finished the entire bottle of milk, he puked almost all of it out, which completely drenched his shirt.
Seeing how sincere Elliot asked her, she analyzed the problem for him. “When you’re making the milk, make sure that you don’t let too much air enter the bottle. After Robert finishes drinking, he must be upright for a while. Sometimes, no matter how you pay attention to it, he will still puke. This isn’t all your fault. He is at the age where he would just puke.”
Elliot let out a sigh of relief. “He puked almost all of the milk out. Will he be hungry? Should I make him another bottle?”
“No need. He isn’t crying, that means he isn’t hungry.” Avery took Robert over from him. She saw his chest covered in milk. “Go take a shower! You reek of puke.”
Not only Elliot, but the entire room reeked of puke.
Elliot went to the bathroom. Avery placed Robert down. She took a wet tissue to wipe his little mouth. Then, she asked tenderly, “Babe, are you happy that your Daddy was carrying you? Your puked scared him! He is not a coward. He cares for you, which is why he wasd7 nervous.”
Avery said while changing Robert’s bib. When Robert had a clean bib, he smiled adorably. At that moment, he knew how to smile. Usually, it was not a laugh. He just smiled quietly.
“Did you smile at your Daddy? If you were to smile at him, he would be extremely happy.” Avery carried Robert.
“He said that he wants to take care of you tonight, but I’m a little worried. I’m not worried that he wouldn’t do a good job. It’s just that he hurt his head today…”
Just when Avery said her worries out loud, a knock came from the door. Avery, with Robert in her arms, walked over to the door and opened it.
“Avery, let me take care of Robert tonight!” Mrs. Cooper said, “Isn’t Mr. Foster hurt? I’m afraid that Robert will disturb his rest.”
Robert needed to be fed every two to three hours. Even if Avery were to take care of him, it would surely wake Elliot up too.
Avery did not give it much thought. She passed Robert to Mrs. Cooper. “He just drank milk, but he puked a lot.”
“Okay. Rest well.” Mrs. Cooper helped Avery close the door.
When Elliot came out of his shower, he saw Avery lying in bed on her phone and Robert nowhere to be found. Thus, he asked, “Where’s Robert?”
“Mrs. Cooper took him away. She’s afraid that Robert will disturb you.” Avery put her phone down and looked at him. She suddenly blushed. “Why are you not wearing clothes again?”
“I didn’t bring my pajamas.” Elliot walked over to the side of his bed and sat down. “I didn’t want to sleep on the same bed with you wearing another man’s pajamas.”
Avery was speechless.
“Do you have any water-resistant bandages?” Elliot asked seriously. “I want to wash my hair.”
“You can do it at the hairdressers,” Avery suggested, “I’ll take you there tomorrow. It’s late. Go to bed!”
She did not nap in the afternoon, so she was extremely sleepy at that moment.
Elliot raised his hand to switch off the light and laid down next to her.
“Avery, hire another nanny!” Elliot did not want to tell her that when he was showering, he realized that his arms were a little sore.
He only started taking care of Robert in the evening for a few hours. How did Avery do it every day?”
He works out all year long. His body was quite fit but taking care of children was different than working out. One would not constantly lift weights in the gym but taking care of children requires carrying them for a long time. No matter how small the child was, they would be at least five kilograms.
“I plan to do so too, but I’ll think about it when I return to Aryadelle.” Avery’s voice got gradually softer as if she was almost falling asleep.
