Chapter 1034
When His Eyes Opened
In the evening, at the Starry River Villa.
During dinner, Mike told Avery his plans for the outing on Memorial Day.
âWhy are you telling me this? Iâm not going with you anyway,â Avery said calmly.
âI know youâre not coming with us.
Iâm telling you because Iâm taking Hayden along,â Mike explained, âWill you let Hayden come with us?â
Avery looked at Hayden.
âDo you want to go play with them? Do you have a holiday?â
Hayden said, âIâve already agreed to them.â
Avery was speechless.
Mike looked smug.
âSince you have nothing to say, Iâm taking Hayden out on Memorial Day.
Layla said that she is going out with Eric.
As for Robert, I wanted to take him along, but Mrs. Cooper disagreed.â
Avery placed her utensils down and swept all of them a gaze.
âWhat is the meaning of this? Are you really leaving me home alone?â
âDidnât you want to spend time with Elliot alone?â Mike teased, âShouldnât you be happy?â
âI wasnât serious.
He might not even be free on Memorial Day.â Avery felt a little sad thinking about how she was leedft
alone.
âJust get him to take you out.
The wedding is in a month! Thereâs nothing wrong with taking a few days off,â Mike consoled her, âAfter
all, I have already booked a ticket for Hayden.
Weâll give you a video call every day.â
Avery harrumphed and picked her utensils up once again.
Layla coaxed, âMommy, why donât you come with me and Uncle Eric! He said that he wants to bring me
scuba diving!â
Forget about it.
Iâll just stay at home.â Avery planned to ask Elliot later what his Memorial Day plans were.
At that moment, Mrs. Cooper came over with a bowl of soup.
âAvery, Mike said that he wanted to bring Robert abroad on a trip.
I think itâs not a good idea, so I refused,â Mrs. Cooper said to Avery, âRobert is still young.
His immune system is still weak.
If youâre not there, what would happen if Robert fell sick?â
Avery nodded.
âHmm, do you want to take a break for Memorial Day? Iâm not doing anything.
I can care for the children.â
Upon Averyâs words, Mike immediately hinted at Mrs. Cooper with his eyes.
Mrs. Cooper saw Mikeâs hint, but she was confused.
What did Mike mean?
Avery followed Mrs. Cooperâs gaze and looked at Mike.
âAre your eye muscles cramped?â
Mike immediately retracted his gaze.
He coughed.
âI think you should discuss it with Elliot first.
What if Elliot is asking you out?â
Mrs. Cooper immediately understood what Mike meant.
âAvery, I wonât take the day off on Memorial Day.
Iâll wait for a while.â
âOh, okay then.â
After dinner, Avery went to help the children to pack.
In the dining hall, Mrs. Cooper asked Mike, âWhat was the hint you gave me just now?â
Mike said softly, âElliot is planning to propose on Memorial Day.â
Mrs. Cooper said, âAvery doesnât know about that?â
Mike replied, âThat man wants to give her a surprise.â
Mrs. Cooper blushed.
âThen, why donât I take Robert along with you two! They indeed have not spent any time together for a
long time.â
Mike said, âOkay! If you think itâs too far to go abroad, we could have a trip in the country too.
Mrs. Cooper said, âOkay! As long as Avery and Mr. Foster have fun on Memorial Day, Iâm fine with
anything.â
In the childrenâs room, after Avery packed for the children, she came out of their room and bumped into
Mrs. Cooper.
âAvery, I plan to take Robert along with Mike and the others on Memorial Day.â
