Chapter 761
When His Eyes Opened
Elliotâs job was secondary. It was mainly to escape.
As long as he thought about how Shea had sacrificed herself for Robert, his heart would be torn apart
again and again.
The phone screen lit up and he tapped the message.
A photo jumped into viewâRobertâs dark, dark eyes were open, looking adorably at the camera. As if
she was looking into his eyes.
His breath hitched as he saw the picture.
He took a deep breath and put the phone down.
His rationality told him that Sheaâs death had nothing to do with Robert, but he could not cross the
hurdle in his heart.
As long as he thought that Shea would never appear again and call him brother sweetly, his sorrow
couldnât help but surge up and destroy all his rationality.
At night, at Starry River Villa.
Mike invited Jun and Ben over to celebrate Robertâs discharge.
Babies Robertâs age slept more.
Robert was sleeping when they arrived.
When they said that Robert resembled Elliot, Avery naturally thought to herself, Robert doesnât look
that much like Elliot.
Because she had seen a photo of Elliot when he was young not long ago.
When Elliot was a baby, he did not look like this. She kept those words to herself.
Because at a glance, Robert did look a little like the current Elliot.
At dinner, Ben poured a glass of fruit juice for Avery.
"Avery, I sincerely apologize for misunderstanding you previously," Ben said.
"And youâve worked hard giving birth to Robert!"
Chad asked, "Ben, do you know when the boss will be back?"
"Youâre his special assistant. If you donât know, how would I know?" Ben said.
"But I know something. He did go to Hartsburg for some business, but he chose the location. He
insisted on going to Hartsburg."
"Maybe itâs because Hartsburg is warmer!" Chad did not forget to defend his boss.
"He probably just doesnât want to face Robertâs discharge." Ben changed the topic.
"Avery, donât worry. Heâll be fine after a while. Heâs been busy dealing with Cole recently and doesnât
have the energy to care about anything else."
"Deal with Cole?" Avery was stunned.
Coleâs mother had already died for him. Was Elliot still angry?
"Thatâs right! He wants Coleâs company to go bankrupt spend the rest of his life in poverty," Ben said.
"If Cole wasnât his nephew, he wouldnât have left Cole alive."
Avery didnât feel sorry for Cole. Cole had brought this upon himself.
"Avery, has Tammy contacted you recently?" Jun suddenly asked, changing the topic.
"She sent me a message," Avery said.
"She went overseas with her family after she was discharged. After she heard about Robert, she sent
me a message to comfort me."
Frustrated, Jun picked up his glass and drank from it..
"Jun, donât be discouraged. Look, Avery and Elliot are divorced and havenât remarried... Arenât they still
together?" Ben comforted him.
Avery corrected him. "I only have contact with him because of the child."
âI canât have children with Little Sweetie. So itâs most likely impossible for me to have children with her.â
He drank again to drown his sorrows.
"Jun, live well first." Avery couldnât bear to see him so sad.
"No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. If you two are fated, youâll meet again in the
future."
"Thank you," Jun said. "You have a worse problem than I do, but you have to comfort me."
Averyâs heart sank. She picked up her juice glass and took a sip. After a while, Mrs. Cooper walked out
of the master bedroom on the first floor and came to Averyâs side.
"Avery, Auntie Hong called me just now and said that Sir is back. He must have come back to see
Robert! I knew he wasnât such a heartless person!"
