Chapter 1140
When His Eyes Opened
When Avery woke up from the great sadness, the sunset outside the window had already set, and the
sunset glowed red half of the sky. She picked up her phone and checked the time.
Itâs half past five in the afternoon.
Elliot was no longer in the room.
She took a deep breath and sent a message to Cole: [Did you take Adrian to check?]
After sending the message, the door was pushed open.
Laylaâs little face appeared before her.
âMom, are you awake? Why did you sleep so long?â Layla saw her mother awake and immediately
entered the room, âIâm here to call you for dinner.â
Avery put down the phone, lifted the quilt, and sat up.
âLayla, are you still used to moving to Daddyâs house? We still have a lot of luggage in our house. If
youâre not used to it, we can go back to our house anytime.â Avery got out of bed and put on her shoes.
Layla sighed, âIt must be a little strange. Dadâs house is so big like a maze. But Dadâs house is also very
good, and the big house can hold more things. Itâs even better if my brother likes it here. â
Avery walked towards the bathroom, âIâm afraid itâs hard for your brother to accept this place. When your
brother comes back, weâll move back in.â
âOh.â Layla followed to the bathroom, âMom, our school is tomorrow. The school conduts a parent-
teacher conference. Are you going or my father?â
Avery was stunned for a moment: âDo you want your mother to go or your father to go?â
âOf course I want you to go. How beautiful you are.â The corner of Laylaâs mouth raised a smile, and then
she frowned tangled, âBut Dad also wants to go. I donât want him to go.â
âYou want Mom to go because Mom is prettier than Dad? Layla, We canât judge people by their
appearance!â After Avery washed her face, she became more sober, âIf your father knew that you
disliked him, he would definitely be sad.â
I hadnât found Elliotâs glass heart before. The longer I get along with him, the more I realize that he is a
fragile and sensitive man.
Maybe because heâs getting older?
âI donât dislike my fatherâs bad looks. I just think heâs a little serious, and he might scare our teachers.â
Layla begged, âSo Mom, you should go to my parent-teacher conference!â
âWell! Mom will wait. Go tell your father.â
The mother and daughter came out of the master bedroom and went downstairs.
Elliot hugged Robert and greeted them downstairs with a fatherly smile.
Avery knew what she was thinking by just looking at him.
âAvery, Laylaâs parent meeting tomorrow, letâs go together!â Elliot opened his eyes and said to her.
Avery looked at Layla: âHow about I go with your dad?â
âBut the teacher said that only one parent is required to participate.â Layla wondered.
âIâll just tell your teacher.â Elliot really wanted to go to his daughterâs parent-teacher meeting, but he could
see from her daughterâs face that her daughter wanted Avery to attend.
So Elliot can solve this problem by going with Avery.
âOtherwise, let your father go! Mom has attended your parent-teacher conference several times. But your
father has not participated in his childâs parent-teacher conference since he was born.â Avery comforted
her daughter, âWe are pitiful. Have pity on him.â
Layla laughed with a âpoofâ: âOkay, then letâs pity him!â
The smile on Elliotâs face froze, and he felt an arrow in his knee.
One of the things that he was very happy about was so miserable that Avery said it.
At dinner time, Avery ate two bites, and Coleâs message came back.
She picked up her phone and saw the checklist sent by Cole. She forwarded the checklist to Wesley and
asked Wesley to see if the check result matched Shea.
âEat when you eat, donât play with your phone.â Elliot said, âWho do you message?â
