Chapter 515
When His Eyes Opened
âElliot the evil man! He kissed me hereâ¦â Layla pointed at her plump cheeks. She began to calm down.
âMy Dirtbag Dad kissed me, does that mean that he likes me?â she wondered. However, she had not
decided to forgive him yet!
Elliot walked over to Avery and apologized sincerely, âAvery, Iâm sorry. I was just entranced by how
adorable Layla is, which was why I could not help myself.â
This was the first time Avery had heard such a self-justified apology.
âI know my daughter is cute, but I just canât have people kiss her because they find her cute. If everyone
who finds her cute kisses her, then how can she be expected to lead a normal life?â Although Avery was
reprimanding him, she could not help the conflicted feelings welling up inside her.
Elliot was a person who could control his desires. âDid he kiss Layla because of the parental bond that
they shared?â she wondered.
âLayla, Iâm sorry,â Elliot apologized to Layla once more. âIâll let you hit me, okay?â
Elliot stretched out his hand to Layla. Layla immediately grabbed his hand, pulled it toward her, and it bit
it!
Avery and Elliot were dumbfounded. She was like a feral cat! Although she was small in stature, she bit
him hard. Elliot felt her teeth bite into his flesh.
âLayla, stop biting!â Avery patted Layla on the shoulder. âIf you hurt him, who is going to cook dinner for
us?â
Layla obeyed Avery and immediately released Elliot.
Elliot quickly retracted his hand and placed it behind his back. When Avery saw Elliotâs sheepish
behavior, her heart softened7a slightly.
She dragged him away from the living area.
âHayden, did you see it?â said Mike to Hayden after analyzing the situation.
âElliot has tricks up his sleeves! First, he kissed Layla, then he pretended to be hurt in front of your
Mommy. Layla isnât that strong. How could she have hurt himâ¦â
As he said that, he snuck a glance at Layla. He noticed that there were a few drops of blood staining her
lips.
âCough! Cough! Cough! Layla! You didnât have to use that much strength. If you hurt him, how is he
going to cook dinner for us?â Mike said awkwardly.
Layla blinked and licked her lips. âHis hand smelled good. I couldnât help myself. Woo, wooâ¦â
âAre you hungry?â Mike carried Layla into the kitchen.
âHmm. Will Mommy be mad at me?â Layla was suddenly a little worried.
âShe wonât. Itâs that dirtbag who kissed you first. You should do whatever you like when you face
someone like him,â said Mike. âIf your Mommy blames you, Iâll stand up for you!â
Avery took Elliot into a room. There was plenty of medication in the room.
âIâm sorry, Layla doesnât know her strength.â Avery blamed herself for the bite marks on his palm. It was
even starting to bleed. âYou donât have to make dinner today.â
Elliot said distractedly, âIâm fine. Iâll wear gloves while cooking. It doesnât matter.â
âWhy did you kiss Layla?â Avery lowered her gaze. She cleaned his wound with some disinfectant she
had.
âBecause she looks like you. When I look at her, it feels like Iâm looking at you,â Elliot said hoarsely.
âAvery, I had a dream last night.â
âHmm?â Avery looked at him. âI thought you didnât sleep last night! You donât look too well.â
âI slept a little,â he answered, telling her a half-truth. âI dreamt that your children were twins.
Averyâs hands trembled, and she poured the entire bottle of disinfectant onto his hand.
Seeing how lost she looked, he said, âI was looking through some photos of when I was a child, and
could not help but noticed that Hayden looks a lot like me. If I ever had a son, Iâm sure that he would look
like Hayden.â
Avery took some cotton balls and wiped away the excess disinfectant. Her voice shook, âElliot if the child
in me is a boy, youâll know what he looks like when he is born.â
