Chapter 1858
When His Eyes Opened
âNora intends to sell this set of jewelry to me.â Avery put the jewelry box on the coffee table, then
reached out to Elliot and asked for the invoice, âGive me the invoice.â
Elliot glanced at the invoice.
$10 million.
This money is not a small amount.
Elliot: âIâll give her the money laterâ¦â
âNora sold it to me, not to you.â Avery walked up to him and took the invoice from his hand, â$10 million
⦠She is so proud to spend so much money on gifts for Layla. Does she usually give gifts to Layla, but
is it so expensive?â
Elliot shook his head: âNo. Last year she gave Layla a dress. I looked at the price. Itâs only a few
hundred thousand dollars.â
âHundreds of thousands?! Do you think a few hundred thousand is cheap? You dare to accept such an
expensive gift from someone who gave your child for no reason!â Avery glared glanced at him.
Elliot pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
The gift was received by Layla, not through Elliotâs hands at all.
He took a peek at the price tag after Layla had received the gift.
âMom, I received the birthday present she gave me last year. The dress she gave me was very
beautiful, I didnât think it was very expensiveâ¦â How did Layla know that a dress cost hundreds of
thousands.
âItâs okay, just accept it. Your father must have returned the gift.â Avery took a deep breath and returned
to her daughter with the receipt, âLayla, look at the jewelry, if you like it, mother will pay the money to
Norah Jones.â
Layla opened the box and glanced at it.
When Layla looked at the pictures before, She thought this set of jewelry was very beautiful, but now
She sees it with her own eyes and She thinks it is very beautiful, but she doesnât like it that much.
âMom, itâs so expensiveâ¦I donât want it.â Layla didnât want her mother to spend so much for herself, so
she glanced at the jewelry and closed the box.
âBaby, itâs fine as long as you like it. Mom can afford it.â Avery reopened the box, âMom will put it on for
you, try it.â
â$10 million! With so much money, you can buy a lot of jewelryâ¦â Layla said, looking at Dad, âDad, you
pay.â
Elliot responded and immediately transferred $10 million to Norah Jones.
âElliot, I said I can afford it, who do you look down on!â Avery said in a sour tone when she saw that
Elliot had paid the bill, âIâll transfer the money to you later. This is a gift I bought for my daughter, I have
to pay for it myself.â
Elliot was stunned: âDidnât we just make the misunderstanding clear?â
âHave I accepted your explanation?â Avery retorted, âEven if you didnât lie, it was me who
misunderstood you, and we already divorced. Friendss still have to settle accounts, we are not friends,
we have nothing to do with each other now.â
Elliot saw her attitude was so strong, and said, âThen give me the money.â
âWell.â Avery take Layla to look in the mirror.
Avery: âBaby, you look so good in this set of jewelry. Money is spent, donât think itâs expensive, mom
can really afford it.â
Layla whispered: âBut you donât have a job now, if I spend all your money What should you do?â
âMom will do what she can.â Avery said, glanced outside the bathroom door, and lowered her voice,
âMom has money, donât tell your dad. Because itâs momâs secretâ¦â
Layla opened her mouth in an âOâ shape, looking surprised: âOkay mom, I wonât tell him.â
Avery: âWell. Tell mom now, do you like this set of jewelry?â
âYes.â A happy smile finally bloomed on Laylaâs face. âBut Mom, Dad just said that you made the
misunderstanding clear with you. Did you really make it clear? Did you blame Dad?â
âYour father made it clear, but I donât know if what he said is true. If I accept what he said, I canât
explain it myself. I donât want to blindly listen to him, but I donât hate him as much as I used to. Itâs
over.â Avery didnât want to let the grievance between himself and Elliot affect the child, âLayla, if you
think he is a good father, then you shouldnât hate him because of your mother.â
âLook at his performance!â Layla said, âI think he wants to chase you again.â
