Chapter 815
When His Eyes Opened
Avery heard Elliotâs tone. It did not sit well with her.
âElliot, do all men think like you? Why would Tammy want a divorce, donât you know why? If Tammy
doesnât love him, she doesnât have to worry about him being pressured by his parents
âAvery, if Jun insists on being together with Tammy, no matter who pressures him, this is something
that he has thought about and feels that he could bear it. Now, whether itâs Jun changing numbers or
him getting married, itâs his freedom.â
The two of them did not argue over their own matter, but they fought because of Jun and Tammy.
However, Avery soon calmed down quickly. She gave Elliotâs words serious thought. After some
thinking, she thought that what Elliot said made sense too.
âWhy does everyone like to think from their own standpoint and do things that they think are good for
the other party when itâs actually not?â Avery lamented.
âBecause they think that they are right,â Elliot replied.
âThis not only applies to Jun and Tammy but us too.â
Avery remained silent. Even if she knew where the problem was, it was still hard to change.
This was not a situation that could be changed by one party alone. Both parties needed to change
together.
When they arrived at the hospital, Avery brought Elliot to see a doctor that she knew. The doctor
brought Elliot for a CT scan while Avery patiently waited in the office.
About 40 minutes later, the doctor brought Elliot back with the results.
âAvery, your friendâs head is fine.â The doctor passed the results to Avery.
âAre you free in the afternoon? I want to buy you a meal.â
Avery looked apologetic. âIâm sorry, I have something on later.â
âIs it important? We havenât chatted for a long time,â The doctor lamented.
âI have a friend coming over. He just called him and said that he was coming to look for me,â Avery
explained, âIâm sorry. I will be in Bridgedale for the time being. Iâll buy you a meal one day.â
âOkay, deal. Iâll wait for your call.â
âOkay.â
Coming out of the office, Elliot asked her, âYou have a friend coming? What friend?â
âEric. He is at the airport. âAvery looked at her. âWeâre going to the airport to pick him up.â
Elliot was on guard. âIs he staying at your place too?â
âDo I still have a place for him to stay?â Avery was done with Elliotâs imagination.
âIâm guessing he is here to give the children gifts.â
âItâs clear what he is up to by trying to please my children,â Elliotâs cold voice came over.
Upon hearing that, Avery chuckled. âYour head is already so swollen, yet you still have the time to think
nonsense. Although you didnât have a concussion, you still need to rest.â
Elliot pursed his lips said nothing more.
A moment later, they arrived at the airport and successfully picked Eric up.
Eric was a little surprised when he saw Elliot, but he did not care for Elliot.
Once he got in the car, he took a gift box out and passed it to Avery.
âAvery, Happy New Year.â
Elliot was sitting in the passenger seat in front. Looking at the intricate gift box, his eyes were cold.
Avery happily accepted the gift. She opened it and saw a shimmering necklace with precious stones.
âThis must be expensive! Iâve already said before to not give me expensive gifts.â Although Avery liked
the necklace a lot, she found it too expensive.
She barely finished her sentence when Elliot had already snatched the box over and returned it to Eric.
âWhatever jewelry that she likes, I can buy it for her. She can buy it on her own too. She doesnât need
you to give it to Ker.â There was undisguised aggression in his tone.
Avery furrowed her brows. Just when she was about to say something, Eric said, âOh, so other than
fighting with her, you would also buy her gifts?â His calm jabs infuriated Elliot to no end!
