Chapter 913
When His Eyes Opened
Hayden said, "Iâm equally close to all of my classmates."
Avery thought for a while before saying, "Then, letâs invite them all! After all, your class isnât that big."
Layla exclaimed, "Oh yeah! Itâs more fun with more people!"
Hayden saw how happy Layla was.He could not bear to burst her bubble.
After Eric left, Avery and Mike set the first draft of the guest list.
"Avery.Chad would surely want to come.You have to invite Jun too.If we invite Ben and only not invite
Elliot, will he feel that we are deliberately picking on him?"
Mike offered his opinion, "Why donât we not invite Ben too?"
Averyâs temples hurt.It was initially a happy occasion, but because of her relationship with Elliot, it
became so painful.
"Iâll let you handle this!"
Avery said and left to see the children.
Mike sent a message to Chad, explaining the situation to him and asking for his opinion.
[Chad: Mr.Foster said that he doesnât want to get entangled with her only because he did not want to
annoy her further, right? He didnât say anything about cutting ties with the children?]
[Mike: I feel so too, but that baby face Eric kept persuading Avery to not invite Elliot.]
[Chad: You better do some soul-searching.You and Eric are her patient.Why would she prefer to listen
to Eric? You are the one staying with her!]
[Mike: F*ck! How are you blaming me for this?]
Chad was silent for a while.
After calming down, he replied to Mikeâs message, [Donât invite Ben.If not, youâve invited everyone
except Mr.Foster.He would surely be disappointed!]
[Mike:ed Ok!] [Chad: Donât spread the word about this yet! What if Avery suddenly changes her mind
before the birthday party?]
[Mike: Sure, go worry about your precious boss.I never saw you being so concerned for mele before.]
[Chad: F*ck off!]
At ten at night, Avery returned to her bedroom.
The three children were asleep.It was strangely quiet.
She could hear her own heartbeat.She slept through the evening, so she was wide awake at that
moment.She was also extremely confused.She did fight with Elliot that day, but after he came clean to
her, she did not say any harsh words to him.She merely said that she needed time to digest what he
told her.
Did that hurt him? Did he think that she did not forgive him immediately because she could not accept
his past, so he thought they were incompatible? Avery sighed.
They ended too abruptly! She was a little disappointed as if she was in a dream.
Since it was Ben who said it, then it would not be wrong.It was as if her bones were removed.
She lay on the bed like jelly.She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling.Her mind was blank.
Nothing could pique her excitement.
A long time later, her phone rang.She was pulled back to reality.She found her phone and answered
the call.Sobs came from the other end of the line!
