Chapter 1071
When His Eyes Opened
Avery then said: [Elliot and Hayden are arguing again. Elliot was supposed to stay at my house but heâs
now gone back to his mansion.)
Tammy replied: (All kids argue with their father. Get Haydenâs teacher to give him more homework.]
[He has a lot already. I donât think heâll attend my wedding since he needs to be out of the country for a
competition.]
[Respect his choice if he doesnât want to attend! His relationship with his father will be better once heâs a
little older.]
[Yeah. Would you like to watch my wedding photoshoot? Itâs at the resort.]
[Kays. Iâll sort my things out and head there in a bit!) After sending the message, Avery looked at Elliot
and asked, âHave you found a photographer, Elliot?â
âYeah.â
âWould you like to take some photos in the water? Iâve seen other peopleâs wedding photos being taken
in the water. Theyâre so beautiful!â Avery allowed her imagination to run wild. âI also saw some couples
doing their photoshoot on a cliff.â
âLet me guess, you want to do one in the clouds too?â
âOmigosh, how did you know?! You have a plane, right? We can take to the skies with the plane and use
a drone to take photos of us.â
Elliot frowned slightly. âAre you serious?â
Avery thought for a few seconds and decided to give up. âNah, forget about it. Letâs just have a quick
photoshoot and get the wedding over with. Weâve already given birth to three children. If we donât get
married any sooner, Hayden might get married before usâ
âDo you really think heâll get married that soon?â Elliot sat down beside Avery. âI donât think heâs
interested in women at all.â
âHe might not seem that way because heâs not yet an adult.â Avery trusted that her son was a normal
boy. âHeâll start to understand his feelings once heâs an adult.â
âThat might not necessarily be the case. You said he was like me, right? Well, I had no interest in women
before I met you,â he said bluntly. âIf I did, I wouldâve gotten married long ago instead of waiting until you
came along and picked me up.â
âMe? Picking you up? There should be a limit to your narcissism, Elliot.â Averyâs cheeks were slightly red
AQInvB<3 she instantly recalled the scene of their first meeting. âOkay, fine. I was the one who picked
you up. If you hadnât turned into a vegetable in that car accident, your mother wouldnâtâve married a
random woman to you. Iâll admit that you were better than me when we
both first met, but now Iâm on par with you.â
He gazed intently at her reddened face.
âYouâre better than I am now,â he complimented her without hesitation. âWhat you do is so much more
meaningful than what I do. Your future offers you infinite possibilities.â
âDoesnât your future offer infinite possibilities too?â she retorted.
âI donât really know what else I can do aside from just making money.â There was confusion in his
eyes.
She leaned her head on his shoulder. âAside from making money, you can spend your days taking good
care of your family! Spending more time with your wife and children is a very meaningful thing too.â
âOkay. Letâs go on a honeymoon after the wedding!â He wanted to give himself a long vacation. Avery did
not expect him to get the gist so quickly. âSure thing! Where do you wanna go?â
âDidnât Wesley send you a postcard?â he asked. âDonât you want to look for him? Perhaps we can go and
have a visit.â
âYouâre thinking about finding Shea, arenât you?â Avery lifted her head from his shoulder.
His eyes were slightly red. âDo you think thereâs a possibility she might still be alive?â
Avery shook her head. âWesley has no reason not to tell us if she is. It goes without saying that I would
give anything for her to be alive, even if it is only in the medical sense of the word. At least thereâs still a
chance.â
âIf Shea was still alive, she wouldnât have left me even after knowing that I wasnât her brother,â he said
sternly. âAdrian chose to go with Henry.â
