Chapter 1859
When His Eyes Opened
âLayla, how did you see it? Why didnât mom see it?â Avery really didnât see it. After all, after she came
over, what she said to Elliot was serious business.
Layla said firmly: âHe always stares at you. If he doesnât like you, why is he staring at you? When Aunt
Norah Jones came to our house, he didnât stare at Aunt Norah Jones very much.â
âLayla, you canât just look at whether you like someone or not. I was confronting him just now, and of
course I will look at him.â Avery said, âI looked at him just now, do you want to say that I like him too?â
âOh⦠Mom, donât you like him at all?â Layla was a little puzzled, âMy dad is still handsome, right?â
Avery couldnât help laughing: âItâs okay! But sometimes there are no feelings, it has nothing to do with
looks. If two people quarrel frequently, no matter how good-looking the other person is, they will only
get bored.â
Layla: âBut you two didnât quarrel just now.â
âI canât quarrel with him anymore.â Avery said, â All the chips he thought he could threaten me were
ineffective.â
âMom, do you really want to teach him a lesson?â Layla looked at her mother and asked, âIf there is
anything I can do to help, just tell me. Iâm definitely on your side!â
âLayla, your father and mother are adults. Even if I want to teach Elliot a lesson, I will teach him a
lesson myself, and I definitely donât need your help.â Avery said, taking her daughter from the bathroom
come out.
Elliot knew that the two of them were whispering inside, but he didnât hear what they said.
After Layla came out of the bathroom, she went to the kitchen to show her jewelry to Mrs. Cooper.
Avery walked towards the living room and wanted to transfer the money to him.
âWhy did you buy such an expensive birthday present for your daughter?â Elliot asked her after giving
her the card number, âIt was an auction. If Norah Jones had bid with you at the time, what was your
reserve price?â
In his impression, Averyâs spending money is definitely not like this.
Not only does she not spend money herself, but she also doesnât like his spending money like running
water.
But now, itâs just a birthday present, and Avery dares to spend tens of millions.
âPeople can change.â After Avery handed the money to him, she replied, âWhen I first met you, I was a
girl who was not deep in the world. Elliot, donât look at me now with the eyes of the past.â
âYou are now?â Elliot looked at her as familiar with facial features as before, and found it hard to accept
her change. âWhat are you like now?â
âThatâs what you see now.â Avery didnât want to continue with him look at each other. She always feels
that his eyes are like an abyss, and if he continues to look at it, Sheâs afraid it will be bad.
Avery took an apple from the fruit bowl and took a bite.
âDidnât you wash it?â Elliot took out a fruit knife from under the cabinet and handed it to her.
Avery embarrassedly swallowed the apple in her mouth, and then began to peel it: âyou went to see
Hayden, how was it?â
Elliot: âDid you not ask Hayden?â
Avery: âHe didnât say it, I didnât ask.â
Elliot: âHe has grown a lot taller and looks like an adult. But his temper is still the sameâ¦â
Avery felt that she couldnât say anything good, so she turned her head to look at him.
Elliot stopped immediately and changed his words: âHe still hates me as always. But he is good to
Robert. He bought Robert a gift. He is also willing to talk to Robert.â
âOf course, Robert is his younger brother. He has no grudge against Robert.â Avery continued to peel.
âDo I have a grudge against him? Layla can forgive me, why canât Hayden?â Elliot was willing to hold
both Layla and Hayden in the palm of his hand. But Hayden didnât give him the slightest chance.
âDo you think that I must have spoken ill of you in front of Hayden?â Avery teased.
