When His Eyes Opened Chapter 453 by Simple Silence

Avery called out to him, “Elliot, can you stay away from me from now on, if I give you a child like we

agreed on?”

She didn’t want to be involved with him any longer.

Elliot stopped and responded coldly, “give me back a child, and then you can negotiate with me.”

With that, he opened the door and stepped out of the25 room.

Ben was waiting outside the door and asked, “Elliot, are you okay?”

Avery heard him; she felt irritated and she could not seem to suppress or avoid the emotions shegc felt.

She collapsed onto the bed once the footsteps outside the door disappeared into the distance. After a

few minutes, she picked up her phone to make a video call to Mike.

Mike picked up immediately. “Avery, have you23 eaten?”

Mike was playing with Hayden and Layla.

Avery spotted a faint figure moving in the kitchen from her screen, but Mike adjusted the camera right

away to focus on theża children.

“I have…” Avery relaxed at the sight of her children. “Hayden, Layla, what are you two playing?”

“We are playing puzzles! I’m watching Hayden…because he won’t let me do it. He says I’m messing it

up.” Layla pouted. “Mom, Uncle Chad cooked for us 35 today.”

Stunned, Mike said, “Layla, didn’t I tell you not to tell your mom? You promised!”

“But I’ve already told Mom!” Layla said with an innocent expression, “it’s not like Mom would get angry.”

“Mike, have you forgotten about the surveillance camera outside our door? I saw Chad’s car parked

outside our yard this evening,” Avery said.

Layla burst out laughing. “Stupid uncle!”

“Aren’t you supposed to be on vacation? Why are you going through surveillance footage?” Mike asked

in confusion, “are you laying in bed now? What’s going on with you? If you are there to sleep, why bother

going all the way there for that?”

“A certain someone showed up,” Avery explained in response to Mike’s questions, “so I’m hiding in the

room.”

“A certain someone?” Mike immediately realized what she meant. “Elliot is there as well? Damn! I

thought he wasn’t going?”

“Let’s not talk about him.”‘

Mike took his phone and went outside. Chad overheard their conversation and followed Mike outside as

well.

“Avery, is he causing you trouble again? That bast*rd!” Mike cursed.

“He won’t do that with so many guests around,” Avery said.

“Which means he would have if there weren’t so many guests, right?”

“Don’t freak out. What happened last time won’t happen again.”

“How can I not freak out? He’s

Chad couldn’t stand it any longer and snatched Mike’s phone out of his hand.

“Avery, I’ve read Mr. Foster’s medical report and he is healthy. He is not crazy,” Chad argued, “he’s just

stubborn and doesn’t like other people challenging him. He won’t hurt you as long as you refrain from

arguing with him.”

Chad was right. Elliot was not all that crazy, but Avery simply couldn’t control her emotions and would

always lose patience before him.

It was odd to Avery, as she was usually composed and calm in front of everyone else; she would only

transform to an entirely different person in front of Elliot.

If he said a word that annoyed her, she would be sure to return it by a thousand folds.

“Chad, I didn’t argue with him today,” Avery said awkwardly, “thank you for cooking for my kids today.”

“Oh, it’s fine… Your bodyguard is on leave today, so Mike invited me over.”

Avery remained quiet for a few moments, before saying, “the bodyguard didn’t ask to be on leave! That’s

just Mike’s excuse, I suppose?”

‘???’ Mike thought, ‘can you not expose my lie straight away?’

Avery ended the call with a smile, when suddenly, she heard the sound of the doorknob turning The door

was pushed open the next instant…
