When His Eyes Opened (Elliott and Avery) novel Chapter 853

Chapter 853

 “I’m still going back to watch the show. You’ve seen Chelsea Tierney’s messed-up face, right? It’s terrifying. Elliot can’t be marrying her for love! It must be chaos back in Aryadelle! I want to go back and find out why exactly he’s marrying her. That’s much more meaningful than furthering my studies!” They arrived at the house moments later. Mike opened the car door and strode into the living room.

Avery was stacking blocks with Layla. Mike walked over to her side and examined her face. 

“What are you doing?” Avery nudged him slightly. 

“Isn’t work starting soon? Who told you to come here?”

Mike tutted and said, “I wanted to come so I came. Don’t tell me that the company can’t function without me. I didn’t know I was that important.”

Tammy laughed and said, “Don’t blame him, Avery. He’s still in his pajamas and didn’t even bring a coat. He was obviously in a rush.”

Avery heard that then glanced at Mike and mocked plainly, “It’s not like I died. Can you not be so dramatic?” “I’m not as worried now that I’ve seen you like this,” Mike said.

If she was too sad, she would not have the energy to pick on anybody.

There was a pin-drop silence that night. Avery could not sleep, so she sat at her desk and opened up her laptop. Now that the holidays were over, it was time for her to get back to work. As long as the sky did not fall and she was still alive, life would continue to go on a set course. She needed to quickly get her emotions together. Adrian’s upcoming surgery was no small feat. She had to succeed.

She suddenly recalled how she had woken up in the middle of the night a few nights ago and saw Elliot standing at the desk.

What was he doing at her desk at the time? She remembered that he had hurriedly shoved something into the drawer after she called out to him.

She glanced at the drawer and took up the uppermost folder. The moment she took out the folder and saw the sagging white thread, she went into a trance. Elliot had obviously opened the folder because the white thread was wrapped around it94 before.
