Chapter 1817
When His Eyes Opened
Avery saw a well-known actress sitting in a chair crying, and under the white aperture, she could see the
tears in the eyes of the actress.
A doctor was applying ointment to the actressâs face.
Elliot and Layla were on the other side.
Layla didnât cry, but she looked sullen.
Avery strode up to her daughter and held her daughterâs hands.
âLayla, your eyes are swollen from crying.â Avery said in pain, âWhy didnât you call mom earlier? After
mom returned to Aryadelle, she told Uncle Eric, should Uncle Eric tell you?â
âMom, hug me.â Layla threw herself into her motherâs arms, âMom, I canât act that scene well⦠I tried
many times and couldnât act it.â
âItâs not that you canât act well, it must be the method.â Avery encouraged.
Elliotâs eyes looked at Avery for a moment.
After an absence of nearly three years, Avery looked more mature than before.
It may be because she had long hair, and the ends of her hair were permed in waves.
âTake Layla home first.â Elliot saw that Avery seemed to be teaching Layla how to enter the role, so he
said, âDonât you want Layla to continue filming?â
âWhy not?â Hearing Elliot voice, Avery looked up, âMy daughter didnât say she wanted to give up.â
Their eyes met, and the smell of gunpowder suddenly rubbed in the air.
Because this was a set, there were people all around.
So the two of them didnât speak very loudly, and they wouldnât quarrel in front of their daughter.
âDaughter canât act in that scene. Didnât you see that she has collapsed?â Elliot had a chat with the
director just now, and the director told him that if Layla had to act, the screenwriter could change the
script for Layla.
For the sake of his daughter, Elliot can of course ask the director to do this. But he didnât think it was
necessary.
He didnât want Layla to take this path in the future, and secondly, his daughter might not be suitable for
this line of work.
âI said it just now, maybe the method is wrong.â Avery argued with him rationally, âWhether to continue,
itâs up to my daughter. Not yours.â
If Layla wanted to leave, Layla would have left long ago.
Since Layla is still here, it means that Layla doesnât want to give up.
âLayla, tell your mother, do you want to give up filming? You can answer your mother after you have
made up your mind.â Avery asked, looking at her daughterâs little face.
âMom, I donât want to give upâ¦but I donât know how to do it wellâ¦â Layla murmured, âThat aunt said I
wasnât good at acting, I want to act wellâ¦â
âWell, mom knows that you definitely want to act well.â Avery already knew the main reason for Laylaâs
collapse on the phone, âTell mom, who do you hate the most?â
Layla lowered her eyes, After hesitating for a few seconds, she said, âIâ¦I hate dad the mostâ¦â
Although Elliot was present, Layla bravely said the answer.
She blamed her father for the departure of her mother and brother.
âThen imagine your motherâs role in the play as your father.â Avery bit the bullet and tried to figure out a
way with his daughter, âYour uncle Eric is in the play, marrying other women, and having children, does
not mean that he is in reality. I really want to marry that actress. Your bad relationship with your mother in
the play will not affect your good relationship with your mother in reality.â
âLayla, your mother is right. You can play the role of mother in the play, Imagine being your father.â Eric
echoed, âI believe you can play well.â
Elliot stood beside Eric, like a walking dead.
First, he was stabbed by his daughter, and then by Avery, and now even Ericâs little white face has
bullied him! How ridiculous!
âThen Iâll try again!â Layla took a deep breath and stood up from her chair.
