When His Eyes Opened Chapter 921

The car window rolled down and Mike’s face appeared in front of them. “Hey! You two! What are you doing in front of the office? Sunbathing?” Mike teased, “It’s almost lunch. I suggest that you two find a restaurant to sit down and slowly fight it out. It’s bad to fight in front of the office.”

Avery’s expressions turned a little colder.

Elliot said, “Lunch?”

Avery replied, “I’m not having it with you.” Then, she turned around and headed back to the office.

Mike honked and said to Elliot, “Buy me lunch!”

Elliot swept him a cold glance and planned to leave.

“Buy me lunch and I’ll bring back lunch for Avery too!” Mike called out after him. Elliot stopped in his tracks. They found a restaurant nearby and sat down. Mike ordered food for Avery and wrote her number down. He got the waiter to directly deliver it to her. Elliot furrowed his brows. “You’re exposing her privacy!”

Mike tutted. “Avery always orders from here!”.

Elliot was speechless.

“Do you think that everyone is like you, getting their assistants and secretary to run around while you hide in your office being the big boss,” Mike would never give up a single chance to mock him.

As long as he thought about how Chad’s job every day was to serve Elliot, he would be extremely unhappy about it.

“Mike, we’re adults. Let’s not beat around the bush. Do you know what Avery is thinking about?” Elliot picked up his cup and drank some water.

Mike replied, “Didn’t you say you wanted to draw the line with Avery? Now you look aggrieved as if Avery did something wrong. You’reed funny.”

“Since when did I say that I wanted to draw the line with Avery?” Elliot slammed his cup on the table.

Mike saw the water splashing out of Elliot’s cup. He remained calm. “Ben said it! The day that Jun got married, after Tammy’s incident. We went to visit their new house. Ben said that you realized that you are incompatible with Avery, so you won’t get entangled with her again in the future…so I told Avery this when I returnie home!”

“I know you’ll call me a messenger. You can call me whatever you want. Avery and I are much closer than Chad and you! Whatever I know about, I will surely tell her!” Mike added.

The coldness in Elliot’s eyes faded a94 little.

“Heh!”

“What are you chuckling about?” Mike glared at him. “I’m not Avery, don’t try to be strange with me. Of course, I do think it’s a little inappropriate that she didn’t invite you to the children’s birthday18 party.” Elliot said, “I didn’t say what Ben said.” Mike replied,d3 “What?” Elliot said, “I never said I wanted to draw the line with Avery. We have three children. Why should I draw the line?”

Mike said, “Tell this to Avery! Why are you telling mecb this?” Elliot said, “Didn’t you tell her that I wanted to draw the line with her?”

Mike was speechless. Bloody hell! He was only spreading the gossip, yet Elliot treated him as a messenger?

After lunch, Mike returned to the office and went straight to Avery’s office. Avery saw him enter. Her tone was cold. “I hear you went to lunch with Elliot.”

“Yes! I’m happy to spend his money.” Mike put both hands on her desk. He cleared his throat. “Uh. He told me to tell you that he didn’t say the things that Ben said.”

“Then, why did Ben say those things?” Avery looked at him doubtfully.

“Maybe Ben thought that this was beneath him, so he persuaded him to give up!” Mike patted Avery’s head. “He told me to ask what your thoughts are.”

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 922

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 922

“What about my thoughts?” Avery pushed Mike’s hand away. “Since when has he ever considered my thoughts?”.

Mike was a little baffled. “Why don’t you call him and ask?”

Avery said, “Why should I call him? If he wanted to know what my thoughts are, why doesn’t he ask me himself?”

Mike said, “Oh, should I get him to call you?”

“Mike, whose side are you on?”

“Yours, of course! If I was on Elliot’s side, I would help him pursue you no matter what! If not, he wouldn’t be in so much pain now.”

Avery did not doubt Mike’s loyalty to her.

“I’m planning to go to Bridgedale. The company is doing fine recently. The children are doing quite well. I’ll go there and come back soon,” Avery said. Mike said, “What? Are you going to see that patient? It takes a day for you to go there and return. The children’s birthday is in a few days. Do you want to go after the birthday party instead?”

Avery thought about this. Adrian has called her twice. She did indeed want to go and have a look and see what was going on with him. Although it was quite time-consuming going there and heading back, she was used to the flying. She did not find it tiring.

In the evening, at Elliot’s house.

Ben called Elliot a few times, but he did not pick up his calls, so he went to his house, but Elliot was not around.

They had fought in the afternoon. To put it more accurately, it was Elliot scolding Ben. Elliot screenshotted the chat he had with Ben previously and sent it to Ben. He asked Ben since when did he say he wanted to cut ties with Avery?

Of course, Ben tried hard to get him to understand that he said that was all for his own good.

It was just that Elliot did not accept it.

Elliot got Ben to go on a business trip. This business trip was supposed to be done by a manager of the company. At that moment, Elliot got Ben to go. It was considered a punishment because Elliot was sending Ben to a country with a bad economy. He was sent there for at least half a month. Of course, Ben was not willing to go. Ben still planned on attending Hayden and Layla’s birthdayed party! Just because Ben was not willing to go, Elliot fell out with him. Ben regretted it terribly at that moment. He gave in and planned to go on the business trip. It was just that before going on the trip, he wanted to properly talk tole Elliot. Ben was standing in the courtyard, calling Chad.

“Chad, do you really not know where he has gone to? He has never been so angry at me before! “Ben was feeling terrible. “I was doing it for him. It’s fine if he doesn’t understand, but he even put me in exile because of94 Avery.” “Ben, it’s just for half a month. It’s not considered exile,” Chad comforted him. “How is that not considered exile? You know how terrible the environment there is. How could I take such suffering?” Ben adjusted his glasses. “Elliot isn’t worried that I won’t make it out of there18 alive.”

“Ben, it won’t be that bad.” Chad did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Why don’t you come withd3 me?” “No can do.” Chad offered him a suggestion. “Why don’t you apologize to Avery and get Avery to help you put in some good words with Elliot? This is the only solution I can think of for now.” Ben did not feel that he did anything wrong. Why did he have to apologize tocb Avery?

“Chad, the only reason why Avery could do whatever she wanted was that Elliot and all of you gave in to her, which is why she doesn’t know her place!” Ben stood in the courtyard and gushed, “I have never seen such an arrogant, bossy, and cocky woman like her…”

Chad said, “Ben, they all mean the same thing.” “I know! It’s important, so I must emphasize it!” Ben gritted his teeth and said, “I will never apologize to her! I did nothing wrong! Even if I had to repeat it all again, I’ll still say that they are incompatible! They are incompatible, yet they don’t let people talk about it. A couple with a strong relationship will never be afraid of people talking behind their back!” Ben felt much better after saying all those things.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 923

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 923

At that moment, a huge hand patted Ben on his shoulders from behind.

Ben pursed his lips. His body stiffened. He slowly turned around, “Ben, Mr. Foster doesn’t like noise. Please be quieter,” Elliot’s bodyguard gently reminded him.

Ben could see Elliot’s darkened expression from nearby. He felt as if someone had shot him in the knee. He wanted to kneel on the ground. He was bad-mouthing Avery and their relationship so loudly just now. Elliot must have heard it! He must have! “Elliot!” Ben forced a wide and apologetic smile. “F*ck off!” Elliot spat. The bodyguard immediately got Ben to leave.

Ben got in the car. He sighed.

“Ben.” Chad’s voice came from his phone. At that moment, Ben realized that he did not hang up the call! When Elliot chased him away just now, Chad heard it all. Sigh! His ego is now deeply bruised. “Are you going to laugh at me?” Ben was bitterly upset. “No, but you should consider my suggestion seriously. Avery is quite nice. You haven’t spent much time with her, so you might have some prejudice against her.” Chad was often at Avery’s. On top of that, Mike always brought her up in front of him. Furthermore, Chad liked her children a lot, so he liked Avery quite a bit.

She was different from other women. Even if she were to meet a man stronger than her, she would never easily bow down. “I don’t have prejudice against her! Chad, you don’t understand. I only think that they are hurting each other whenever they are together. I would rather rip the band-aid off quickly!

They should just split up, but this won’t affect the fact that they are still my friends!” Ben explained.

“They don’t see it that way.” Chad could not help but smile. “Don’t talk about this in front of them in the future. If not, the next time would not just be a punishment in exile.”

Ben was speechless. He could not sleep that night. After a sleepless night, he decided to apologize to Avery. He did not want to go on that business trip, so he decided to bowed down.

He drove to Starry River Villa.

In the villa, the servants were caring for the children, washing them up, and preparing their breakfast. It was a busyse affair.

Ben entered the living area and asked Mrs. Cooper, “Is Avery not up yet? I’m looking for her?”

Mrs. Cooper replied, “Avery left. She went to94 Bridgedale.”

Ben was stunned.

Mrs. Cooper said, “Why are you looking for her? Is it important? Try her phone. Perhaps she hasn’t boarded the flight18 yet!”

Ben said, “Forget about it. Since she’s going abroad, I won’t bother her.” Mrs. Cooper got Ben to stay for breakfast. Ben took her up on her offer and directly headed to the diningd3 hall.

“Mrs. Cooper, why is Avery going to Bridgedale?”

“I don’t know, but she said she’ll be back soon,” Mrs. Coopercb said. Ben picked his phone up and sent Elliot a message. (Avery has gone to the airport. She’s leaving for Bridgedale.) Elliot just woke up when he saw the message. His heart started beating wildly. He was afraid that Avery was going to run away again! At the airport, Avery was in line, about to go through security. When she saw Elliot’s call, she hesitated for a while before picking up.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 924

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 924

“Avery, what are you doing?” Elliot’s voice was hoarse and cold. Avery could hear that Elliot had just gotten up because his tone was rather emotional.

“I’m going to Bridgedale to tend to something.” Avery went past security and headed inside.” It’s early. Who told you I’m going abroad?” Elliot did not answer her question, but asked, “It’s almost the children’s birthday. Do you have to go to Bridgedale now? Is there something urgent?” If it was as usual, Avery might have said that he was being nosy. However, at that moment, she was strangely calm. She did not want to fight with him over such a small thing. Elliot was asking her all these questions out of concern.

“It’s nothing urgent,” Avery said calmly, “Elliot, these are my private affairs. I don’t need to tell you. I will be back before the children’s birthday.”

Elliot rubbed the middle of his brow. He calmed down. “As long as you’re fine.”

“Hmm, go back to bed. I’m about to board.” Avery lowered her gaze. She thought about how long has she not spoken to him properly in that way. Their go-to method was always using the harshest words on each other. “Okay.”

After the call, he flipped the covers and got off the bed. He strode into the washroom. He turned on the tap and splashed cold water on his face. He looked at himself in the mirror in a daze.

The water droplets flowed down his face, drip by drip!

Turns out, that when one cares for another person, they cannot hide it. When he called her just now, he never considered that they were still not on speaking terms. He also did not consider whether she would pick up his call or not. Neither did he think about what would happen to his dignity if she did not pick up his call. Fortunately, she did not reject his call or blame him for meddling in her affairs. After more than ten hours, the plane landed in Bridgedale. When Avery came out of the airport, she initially decided to head straight to Adrian’s house, but she thought that it was still early. It would be rude to head over there. She might even disturb their rest. Thus, Avery returned home. She showered and changed into a clean set of clothes before orderinged takeout. While waiting for takeout, she called Mike to tell him about her arrival. “Avery, after you left this morning, Ben came to look for you at home,” Mike said, “He came to apologize. He did not intend to drive a wedge between youie two…” “I know he didn’t mean to do it. He was doing it for Elliot.” Avery rubbed her temples. Due to the time difference, she was quite tired.

“He said it was for your good too! Hahaha!” Mike could not help but laugh. “He said he has never seen a couple like you two, tormenting each other for seven years. I thought about it, and he seems to make94 sense.”

Avery pursed her lips. She did not know how to reply. “But looking at how you two can drive each other crazy and yet still cannot forget each other, perhaps you two are destined to be! If it were for other couples, I think they would have long given18 up.” “Stop mocking me.” Avery took a cup to get some water. “By the way, tell Ben that I don’t blame him. He doesn’t need to apologize to me.” “Hahaha! He doesn’t want to apologize to you either. Elliot is angry at him, sending him to exile. He is coming to you for help due to desperation. He wants you to put in a good word fordz him.” “Impossible,” Avery said and hung up. She did not want to interfere with their friendship! A moment later, the takeoutcb arrived. Avery had breakfast and she felt better. At ten in the morning, she went to the garage to get her car and drove to the Whites. She thought about the time after she met Adrian.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 925

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 925

Adrian must be delighted, right? Although his family might not welcome her that happily, they were all polite people. They would most probably not chase her away.

When she passed by a florist, Avery stopped her car by the side of the road. She picked a fresh bouquet of carnations. After paying, she entered her car with the bouquet in her hands.

She was once again on the road. She needed to go past two traffic lights and go forward for another two kilometers or so before she would reach the Whites.

She was humming a song. It was green all the way. The traffic was smooth all the way to the Whites.

She parked her car outside the Whites’ courtyard.

She got out of the car and saw that the gate was locked. She looked at the shut door of the mansion too. It seemed like no one was home. She furrowed her brows and fished her phone out. She found Nathan, Adrian’s father’s contact, and dialed him. She had thought of the worst-case scenario. Perhaps Nathan had blocked her number. However, the call connected.

“Mr. White. I’m by your house. I see that your doors are shut. Are you all not at home?” Avery inhaled nervously.

“Miss Tate! I’m sorry! We are out on holiday now. I’m afraid we can’t welcome you in!” Nathan could not hide the arrogance in his tone. “If there is nothing else, I’m going to hang up. By the way, my son is doing well. You don’t have to worry.”

“Hold up!” Avery said sternly, “Adrian has just finished his surgery. He needs to rest! How could you take him out on a holiday? Even if he wants to go, he can’t! Aren’t you afraid that something might happen to him on the way?” Nathan harrumphed coldly. “Miss Tate. I think I have paid you the surgery fees, right? I don’t need you to order me around. It’s rude of you!”

Then, he hung up.

Avery heard the disconnecting tone. She clenched her fingers. That old man has crossed the line! She has finally seen his true colors! He never cared if Adrian lived or died! However, she did not understand. If he did not care whether Adrian lived or died, why would he spend so much money to cure him?

Adrian’s condition was better now, but he was still treated kindly. What was Nathan trying toed do?

Avery held her phone and walked over to the other mansion. The other mansion’s door was open. Avery entered the courtyard, and a dog immediately ran out, barking at her. Avery was so frightened that she stopped in her tracks. Thankfully, the master of the dog

heard the barks. She soon came out to order her dog tole leave. “Hello, your neighbor, Adrian White. I am his doctor. I am Avery Tate,” Avery introduced herself, “I came to check up on Adrian today, but they are not home…” “Oh, I know you! You’re amazing!” The lady greeted Avery passionately, “But my neighbors have moved houses. They moved the day before yesterday. If you were to come the day before yesterday, you might have seen94 them!” Avery was flabbergasted. She recalled what Nathan said to her a moment ago. “I just called him. He said that he brought his family on a holiday. Are you sure that they moved18 houses?”

“Yes! I saw them moving a lot of luggage. Who brings so many things on a holiday?” The lady lowered her voice and said, “Doctor Tate, don’t get yourself too close to this family. They are a rather strange family.” “Strange? In whatd3 way?” “They are a mysterious bunch. We have been neighbors for so many years, yet they have never spoken to us once. Don’t you find it strange?” The lady said confusedly, “They have been staying here for a long time. I wonder why they suddenly moved.” A bad feeling rose in Avery’s heart. She felt as if she was about to jump into a hugecb trap!

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 926

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 926

Avery returned to her car. She unlocked her phone and dialed Adrian. “Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service. Please try again later.” She had a strong feeling that it was not Adrian who switched off his phone. Avery’s brows throbbed. She dialed Nathan.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service. Please try again later.”

Avery’s heart sank!

What was he trying to do? Before the surgery, she felt that he was still quite normal.

At that moment, with what the neighbor told her, she shuddered.

Did he move houses to prevent her from looking for them or did he plan it a long time ago, waiting for Adrian’s condition to become better then move? However, why did they have to move right after Adrian’s condition got better? Where did they move to?

Avery was lost. She picked up her bottle of water and drank some water. After calming down, she looked through her contacts and found the contact of Nathan’s friend who introduced her to Nathan.

This friend was the family member of her previous patient.

She called and he soon picked up. “Doctor Tate, may I help you? Are you in Bridgedale right now?” “Hmm, I am in Bridgedale, I would like to ask you about your relationship with Nathan White. Are you two close? He has moved houses. Do you know that?”

The other person was stunned for a while. “He has moved? He didn’t tell me! We are not close. After you cured my father, he got in touch with me through a friend and told me about his son. I went to see his son and felt pity for him, so I contacted you on his behalf.”

Avery’s heart graduallyed sunk. “Doctor Tate, didn’t you finish operating on his son? I thought that the surgery went well? Are you looking for them…because he didn’t pay you?”

“No, he paid me. I just wanted to check up on Adrian, but they have moved houses and he is not answering my calls,” Averyie explained. “Oh! If that’s the case, don’t bother with him. After I helped him, he no longer contacted me. Maybe that’s just his aloof character! As long as he paid you.”

Avery responded and hung94 up.

She saw the carnations on the passenger seat next to her from the corner of her eyes. She felt even worse. The reason she decided to come to see Adrian, other than checking up on his recovery progress, was also because she wanted to know if Adrian and Shea were related.

Although Shea was no longer around, she could use other ways to make18 sure.

Adrian and Shea had the same condition. This was not something strange. The strange thing was that Mrs. Cooper said that Elliot had this condition when he was young too. Avery did not believe that Elliot had the same condition when he was young. She also did not believe that he would be cured without undergoing surgery. Thus, she wanted to get to the bottom ofd3 this. However, she did not know where Adrian was being brought to at that moment. She could only wait for his call. This passive feeling of waiting left her floundering. She could not understand Nathan’s strong desire for control overcb Adrian. Although Adrian was much better after the surgery, he was still not an ordinary person. He did not have the intelligence of a normal person. Why would Nathan want to control him?

In Aryadelle.

The first day after Avery left, Elliot was feeling antsy. When she was at home, Elliot did not dare to act so presumptuously because he was afraid it would make her angry. When the black Rolls-Roice appeared right in front of Avery’s gate, Mike was conflicted.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 927

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 927

Should he let Elliot in or not?

Mike did not have any grudges against Elliot. If it were not for Avery, Mike would have welcomed him in.

Just as Mike was pondering this question, the bodyguard walked over and opened the door for Elliot.

Mike was bewildered.

If Avery was home. She would surely loudly question the bodyguard, “Whose side are you on?”

Mike had been questioned by her more than once.

“Avery’s not home, so you’ve become the master of the house!” Mike said sarcastically to the bodyguard. The bodyguard looked indignant. “Even if I don’t open the door, you will open it. We’ll just say that you opened it later.”

Mike said, “Not only will you act first and ask for forgiveness later, but you also know how to shift the blame!”

The bodyguard ignored him, turned around, and left. Elliot approached Mike and asked, “Are the children home?”

Mike raised his eyebrows. “I knew you came here for the children. Don’t you find it embarrassing? You’re the high and mighty President of the Sterling Group. If you want to see the children, you can come at any time. Must you sneakily come over when their mother is not around? Do you think I won’t tell Avery? Even if I didn’t tell her, the children will!”

Elliot ignored Mike’s jabs.

He fished out two tickets from his pocket. “These are two tickets to a play that Chad likes. It’s at eight this evening. Do you want them?”

“Are you sure that Chad likes them?”

“Why don’t you take it and asked him?” Mike pondered for two seconds before taking the tickets. “If I’m going to see a play, the children…” “Mrs. Cooper is around. Don’t worry. I’ll leave after a while,” Elliotie said. Mike was still worried. “What if Avery video-calls later?” “If she does that, it shouldn’t be something you should worry about.” Elliot had already considered the worst possible scenario. “At most, she’ll give you a scolding. In the end, I’m the only one she94 hates.”

“Oh, it’s not that serious! She said you and her are not enemies. I don’t think she will say anything about you coming to see the children,” Mike consoled him. At the same time, he was

consoling himself. After Mike left, Elliot went to the living area. Mrs. Cooper poured him a cup of water before taking Robert to see18 him. “Layla is doing her homework. She will be out after she’s done,” Mrs. Cooper said with a smile. Elliot took a sip of water and reached his hands out to carry Robert. Mrs. Cooper immediately passed Robert tod3 him. Robert was almost six months old. He was much bigger than when he was born. Carrying him at that moment, Elliot would not be worried if he fell. Also, his facial features have grown too. Elliot found Robert getting more and more handsome. He liked him evencb more. “He is sleeping longer through the night. Growing day by day. When he is one year old. He will learn how to talk and walk. It would be even more fun,” Mrs. Cooper said. “Hmm, where is Hayden?” “He has training at night. I heard that there is an international competition in June, but there was only one place in his class, so he is undergoing intense training. He sometimes returns home earlier, sometimes later. The bodyguard will be with him, don’t worry,” Mrs. Cooper explained. “Does he find it tough?” Elliot was worried that Hayden’s body could not handle the stress.

“No. Even if it is tough, he wouldn’t tell us. He’s like you. He never says that he is tired. No matter what he does, he wants to do it the best he can,” Mrs. Cooper sighed and said, ” Actually, it’s quite exhausting that way. Avery never set high standards for him too.” As night arrived, the streetlamps outside lit up.

A taxi stopped right in front of the courtyard. Avery opened the car door and got out of the car. When she saw the black Rolls-Roice in the courtyard, she was a little stunned. She immediately quickened her steps toward the villa.

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 928

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 928

Avery pushed the door open and instantly saw a heartwarming scene in front of her.

Elliot was carrying Robert, standing in the living area. Layla was holding her new toy, and talking to Robert.

Mrs. Cooper was standing by the side looking at them, smiling. Avery stood by the entrance. Her feet felt like lead. Elliot, who was holding Robert, looked tender and fatherly. If she told others that he was an aloof and violent man, no one would believe her.

Elliot suddenly saw her. His smile instantly plastered onto his face. He never thought that she would return so quickly. No one told her that she would return that day.

If Mike knew that she returned today, he would not have abandoned the children to go for a play. Mrs. Cooper was stunned when she saw her. It was almost a reflex. She immediately took Robert from Elliot.

“Mommy!” A loud sound came from behind Avery. It was Hayden. The bodyguard parked the car, Hayden immediately pushed the car door open and got out of the car. He ran toward Avery.

Avery collected her emotions and smiled gently at Hayden. “Babe, why are you back so late tonight?”

Hayden held Avery’s hand and replied, “There’s a question I didn’t understand, so I got the teacher to explain it to me. Mommy, why did you come back so suddenly? Why are you not entering the house?”

Avery suppressed her awkward feelings. “I bought a flight ticket back immediately once I concluded things there.” She paused for a while before saying, “Let’s go in!”

Avery and Hayden changed their shoes and entered the living area. When he saw what was happening in the living area, Hayden’s handsome face instantly tensed up. What was Elliot doing here?

“Mommy! Hayden!” Layla was clutching the hem of her shirt. She had a guilty and worried expression. “I-I was playing with Robert just now! I wasn’t playing with Daddy.” Avery saw it. Layla was indeed playing withed Robert. “Layla, I’m not angry.” Avery walked over and patted her on the head. “Have you finished your homework?”.

“Yes! I’ve done them!” Layla immediately ran to her room to take herie homework

Hayden, with his bag, quickly made his way past the living area. He was about to return to his room.

Elliot saw how his son avoided him. He was heartbroken.94 “Hayden!”

When Hayden heard Elliot calling after him, he merely slowed down his footsteps but continued going upstairs. Elliot seemed to be provoked. His eyes instantly reddened. He strode over to18 Hayden. Avery had a bad feeling when she saw what was happening. Sure enough. Elliot lost control. He grabbed Hayden’s arm. “Hayden, I’m sorry. I am willing to do anything to make it up tod3 you.” Elliot did not want to be like an enemy to his son. Even if Hayden ignored him or treated him as if did not exist, it was better than hiding away every time he saw him. “Let me go!” Hayden looked at Elliot’s hand andeb screamed! His scream reverberated throughout the entire villa. Robert yelped in fright and started crying. Avery quickly walked over and grabbed Elliot’s hand. Her voice was shivering. It had hints of pleading in them. “Elliot, let him go! You’re scaring the children!”

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 929

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 929

Elliot pursed his lips tightly. Avery’s voice made him slowly come to his senses. He let his hand go and Hayden immediately ran upstairs!

Avery did not let go of Elliot’s arm. “Elliot, what were you doing! You said you wouldn’t force the children! What were you doing there then?”

Elliot swallowed his saliva. His voice was hoarse. He enunciated, “I-I only wanted to apologize to him.”

“The way you’re doing it is not right. He is a child, not an adult. You were too forceful.” Avery pulled him along and pressed him down on the sofa. “Elliot, you were badly affected by your family. The trauma is still there now. Why did you think Hayden would reconcile with you so quickly?”

Elliot lifted his head and looked at her closely. “I’m not blaming you.” Avery inhaled rather helplessly. “Don’t be so impulsive in the future. You made Robert cry. Layla was surely frightened too.” “I’m sorry.” Elliot looked in the direction of the children, self-reproaching.

Mrs. Cooper was carrying Robert. Robert was no longer crying. Layla was standing behind her with her homework in her hands. She snuck glances at the living area. She did not dare to head over there.

“Avery, I bought presents for the children. I’ll pass it to you to give it to them.” Elliot had already calmed down. He acknowledged his problem. “I’m afraid they wouldn’t want it if I were to give it to them.”

Avery said, “We’ll talk about this tomorrow! Have you calmed down?”

“Hmm.”

“Did you drive or did the driver drop you off?” Avery wanted him to leave.

“I drove here.” Elliot understood what she meant. He immediately got up from his sofa. He took two steps before suddenly thinking of a question. He stopped in his tracks. “What were you doing in Bridgedale? You’re back so quickly. It’s like you took two flightsed consecutively.”

“Just think of it as if I was bored!” Avery was not in the mood to tell him about Adrian. “I’m adjusting to the time difference. I’m a little tired.”

“Hmm, go be with these children.”

“I don’t need you to tell me.”

Avery sent him to the door. After he left, she returned to the living area. Mrs. Cooper carried Robert over with an apologetic expression. “Avery, I’m94 sorry!” “You don’t have to apologize to me. I knew that he wanted to come over. It’s not that you

invited him,” Avery said and looked at Robert. “Babe, did he scare you? Don’t be afraid. No one will dare to bully you.”

Robert pouted his lips, blowing18 bubbles.

His comical look made Avery forget all about her exhaustion. She perked herself up and walked over to Layla. She took Layla’s homework and glanced through it. “Layla, don’t be afraid. Daddy won’t hurtd3 you.” “Mommy, I am a little scared. Although I know that he won’t hurt me, I’m still scared.” Layla looked at Avery worryingly. “Hayden was so angry. I’m feeling bad for him.”

Avery hugged Layla in her arms. “The issue between your Daddy and Hayden is a little complicated. They would not come to terms with each other for the time being but don’t be afraid. Daddy has promised me that this would not happench again.”

“Hmm, Mommy, go and see Hayden,” Layla said understandingly. Avery placed Layla’s homework down. “I’ll look at your homework later.” “Hmm.”

Avery walked upstairs and entered Hayden’s room. She saw Hayden sitting on a chair, frowning, and looking at the computer seriously in a daze. She walked over to Hayden and bent down. “Hayden, I’m sorry that I can’t give you a good environment to grow up in.” “It has nothing to do with you.” Hayden’s voice sounded depressed. “I don’t want to see him.”

“Then, I won’t let him come to our house again in the future,” Avery promised, “But he really wants to attend your’s and Layla’s birthday party. I promised him before that he could attend. Can we let him attend? I’ll look out for him and make sure he won’t come close to you.” Hayden responded and held Avery’s hand. “Mommy, I’m hungry.”

When His Eyes Opened Chapter 930

At Elliot’s house. He returned home and was about to head upstairs when Mrs. Scarlet called out after him.

“Master Elliot, there is something I wonder if you’ve heard about?”

Elliot turned around and looked at Mrs. Scarlet. “What is it?”

“It’s about the old mansion.” Mrs. Scarlet had a heavy expression. “Your brother is planning to sell it.”

Elliot’s gaze darkened a little. “Who did you hear it from?”

“My nephew is into real estate. He called and told me.” Mrs. Scarlet’s eyes reddened and glistened with tears, “Master Foster, your brother surely must have run out of money, which is why he is selling the mansion. Sigh! How could he bear to do it!”

“Are you trying to ask me to give him money?” Elliot put both hands in his pocket. He looked straight at Mrs. Scarlet.

She shook her head furiously, “Of course you can’t give them money! They are ungrateful people. Madam Rosalie treated them so well, yet they killed her! I thought that you might want to buy the old mansion. Even if you don’t stay there, it’s better to not let others move in too. If the old mansion were to switch owners, others will surely talk about the Fosters.”

Mrs. Scarlet was doing this for the Fosters’ reputation, so she suggested this to Elliot.

Elliot was wealthy. It was not a problem for him to buy the old mansion.

“I’ll get someone to go take a look tomorrow,” Elliot said, “Go to bed!”

“Have you had your dinner?” Mrs. Scarlet asked immediately, “I’ve made dinner, but you did not return to eat, so it’s still on the table.”

If Mrs. Scarlet did not ask him about it, he would not have realized that he had not had dinner

yet.

He went straight to the Starry River Villa after work. When he arrived at Avery’s house, they had already finished their meal.

Elliot walked over to the dining hall. Mrs. Scarlet immediately reheated the dishes.

“Master Elliot, how was spending time with the children?” Mrs. Scarlet askeded Elliot.

“Not too good.” Elliot furrowed his brows. His tone was a little cold. “Hayden hates me. I even made Robert cry. Layla also did not dare to come close to me.”

He was feeling utterlyle terrible.

In business, he had full control of everything. How was he such a failure when it came to his children?

Mrs. Scarlet was a little stunned. She quickly walked over to Elliot and asked, “Master Elliot, how did that94 happen?”

“I was too impatient.” He summed up his mistake. “I wanted to reconcile with Hayden so badly it made him hate me even more.”

“Oh…Hayden’s character is quite like you. If you rushed it, it would never work,” Mrs. Scarlet comforted him, “Hayden listens to Avery. As long as you maintain a good relationship with Avery, Hayden will come to accept you sooner or18 later.”

“I understand, but every time I see him, I can’t help but want to get close to him.” Elliot swallowed his saliva and said remorsefully, “I don’t like children, but my children are different.”

Mrs. Scarlet chuckled. “Yes. There are no parents on this earth that wouldn’t like theird3 children.”

Elliot said, “Have you forgotten about my father?”

The smile on Mrs. Scarlet’s face vanished. “I’m sorry. I forgot about him. Master Elliot, you should forget about him too! Don’t think about all those painful memories. You are different from him. I believe that even if you and Avery’s children unfortunately have the condition, you would never abuse your children. You will still love them as much as you do rightcb now.” “I’m not so sure about that.” Elliot’s chest heaved. He said bitterly, “Sometimes, I can’t control my emotions. Just like tonight. I could have gently handled the situation with Hayden, but I grabbed him roughly. Maybe I’m like my father, having a tendency to violence. His blood flows in my vein. I inherited his violent genes. I can’t promise that I will be better than him.” Mrs. Scarlet said, “Master Elliot, stop saying that. No matter what other people say, no matter how you think about it. In the servants’ eyes, you are a thousand times better than your father!

She turned and entered the kitchen.

At the Starry River Villa, Avery was with Hayden throughout his dinner. The lively atmosphere at home soon resumed.

“Robert, why don’t I play some piano for you?” Layla held Robert’s hand. “I learned a new piece this weekend. Let me play for you!” Avery looked at the time. “Layla, it’s late. You should go to bed, if not you won’t be able to get up tomorrow. Play for Robert after school tomorrow!” “But I want to play the piano now.” Layla was not sleepy. She did not want to go to bed. At that moment, Hayden walked over. “Go upstairs, I’ll listen to you.” Layla pouted. She was reluctant. “But I only want to play for Robert.”
