Chapter 508
When His Eyes Opened
Looking at how heartbroken Avery was, Elliot held her hand tightly and placed it on his heart.
âAvery, itâs not what you think.â Elliot looked into her eyes and said, âI only agreed to give her a ride
because she had treated Shea.â
âZoe treated Shea?â Avery could hear the sarcastic laughter in her heart.
From Elliotâs point of view, Zoe was Sheaâs savior. If not, he would not have given Zoe three hundred
million dollars.
Avery struggled and broke free from Elliotâs grip.
âSince Zoe could treat Shea, why did you break up with her?â Avery askede coldly.
âBecause of you,â Elliot said without even thinking.
Averyâs heart skipped a beat. She felt like she had tripped over something.
âDid Elliot say that he broke up with Zoe because of me?â she thought.
âAlthough Shea has not fully recovered, I am already very satisfied with her current situation, â said
Elliot, explaining himself.
âI canât force myself to be with her any longer, nor could I continue lying to myself that I did not care
for87 you.â
When Avery heard Elliotâs explanations, she did not feel lighter. On the contrary, she felt exhausted.
âWhere are you staying tonight?â she asked Elliot as she looked at herza accommodation.
âI donât know.â Elliot looked around and asked, âWhere are you staying?â
âDonât tell me youâre thinking of staying with me? You can dream on!â Avery saw how Elliot
âIâll rest at your place for a little while. Iâm a little tired.â The exhaustion on his face was obvious. Other
than running around the entire day, Elliot had only had time to have breakfast. Not only was he
exhausted, but he was also famished.
Just when Avery was deliberating as to whether to allow him to stay with her, Elliotâs stomach let out a
loud rumble.
She had never seen Elliot in such a wretched state.
If he had not come here for her, he would have been in his luxurious mansion, enjoying a scrumptious
feast prepared by his servants.
âGo back tomorrow morning.â Avery led Elliot toward her place. âThis place is rather tough for a spoiled
master like you.â
âCome back with me,â Elliot said stubbornly.
âIf youâre not leaving, I wonât leave either.â
âIâm here for work, not play.â Avery glared at him before grabbing her key and pushing it into the
keyhole.
âIf youâre not leaving, so be it. Do you think you can threaten me?â
After the door to the room was open, Elliot entered first. The room was rather simple. Other than a bed,
desk, and chair, there was nothing else. Apart from the washroom.
Elliot headed to the washroom. As there was a public bathhouse, the suite did not have a shower.
Elliot looked at the simple facilities in the washroom and thought deeply.
Avery saw how Elliot was standing by the washroom. She teased, âDo you want to leave? Did your
bodyguard come with you? Get him to pick you up! If your bodyguards did not come with you, then call
your men right now. Get them to pick you up by plane! I know you have a plane.â
Elliot heard Averyâs jabs. He did not retaliate. If mocking him made her happy, then he would allow her
to do so.
âIâm not leaving.â Elliot looked at her.
âItâs quite nice to experience a different lifestyle.â
âOh, then Iâll call Mr. Tennant to arrange a room for you.â Avery took her phone out and was about to
call Sean.
The moment she unlocked her phone, Mike video called her. Avery answered the call without knowing
why.
âAvery, whatâs going on over there right now? Have you seen Elliot already?â Mike asked.
Avery held onto her phone. She glanced at Elliot with her eyes, silently commanding him to stay in the
washroom. Elliot was rather reluctant, but he obeyed and remained in the washroom.
