Chapter 812
When His Eyes Opened
Averyâs room was filled with childrenâs daily amenities. It was obvious that she cared for her children. If
she had planned to let him stay in her room, she would have cleared it up.
Avery hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to be honest with him.
âThis house isnât that big. Now that there is another baby around, so I hired a nanny. Although the
security here is not bad, for the sake of safety, I hired a bodyguard. They take turns staying over
dailyâ¦â
Avery explained so much when she was only trying to say one thing.
âIf there isnât any extra room, I can go to a hotel.â Elliot did not want to trouble Avery.
âItâs not that there isnât any extra roomâ¦â Avery lowered her gaze and said softly.
If it was not that late at night, she would most likely get him to stay at the hotel already. He came over
this time without a bodyguard. It was already so late at night. What would happen if something were to
happen to him if he went out alone?
Elliot was confused at Averyâs answer. If there was an extra room, why did she let him have the master
bedroom?
âYou take my room, Iâll sleep in the other room.â Avery was afraid that there would be a
misunderstanding, she immediately added, âThe other room is a little small, Iâm afraid you wonât get
used to it.â
âAs long as theyâre a place to stay, Iâm fine. Itâs okay if itâs small.â A hint of disappointment flashed
across his eyes, but he quickly collected his emotions.
âIâll bring you to go have a look.â Avery headed for the door.
Elliot carried his suitcase and followed Avery to the small room. This room was indeed a little small.
Other than the bed and a nightstand, there was no space for other furniture. Even the bathroom was
small enough only for one person.
This was the mansionâs default design for the nannyâs room. However, Avery did not want to feel like
she was mistreating the nanny, so she got the nanny to stay in the guest room.
At that moment, she could not just get the nanny to move to the nannyâs room just because she had a
guest.
If it was only meant for staying one night, like Tammy being drunk for one night leaving the next day, it
would be fine.
However, Elliot was not only staying for one night. He was there for a few days, so Avery was a little
embarrassed to bring him to the small room right from the beginning.
âIâll stay here.â He placed his suitcase in the room.
âAs long as thereâs a place to rest.â Avery nodded.
âThen, Iâll go get you some toiletries.â
âOkay.â
Although he brought a suitcase, it could only fit a few sets of clothes. One was because he left in a
rush, he did not have the time to pack more thoroughly. The other reason was that he rarely did such
tedious matters.
A moment later, Avery arrived with a full set of toiletries.
Elliotâs suitcase was already open. Avery could not help but sneak a peek at it.
âDid you not bring pajamas?â She noticed that his suitcase was filled with formal wear.
âI forgot to bring them.â Elliot took his clothes out from his suitcase, planning to hang them on the rack
âOh. Mike should have an extra one. Iâll go get it.â Avery said and left.
A moment later, she returned with a clean set of pajamas.
âGo rest after your shower. The children get up early. It would be noisier at home during the day,â Avery
reminded him.
Elliot nodded. âYou go to bed too!â
Before she left, she glanced at the room once more. She finally understood Mikeâs worries during the
day.
Elliot was such a towering figure. He looked out of place standing in such a small room. It felt as if he
would knock into the wall if he was not careful.
âThinking back about his mansion back in Aryadelle, his living area alone was larger than an entire
commercial flat. Since when has he stooped to such a low level?
However, he would not stay in her bedroom. He insisted on staying in the nannyâs room! She could not
possibly have forced him to stay in her room, right!
Returning back to her room, Avery lay in bed but could not sleep.
She found it unreal. Elliot came just when he said he would. Before seeing him, she always felt that
they would surely get into a huge fight every time they met.
