When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84 “What about me?” Avery said as she placed the cup of tea on the kitchen counter, then made her way back to the room. “He’s never treated me with respect, not even just for a day.”

“The two of you are from completely different worlds. It’s understandable for him to be a little stand-offish toward you,” Laura said. “Forget about his past. Focus on who he is right now and who he will be in the future…”

Avery raised her brows, puzzled, and asked, “Why are you speaking up for him? Do you think h e could suddenly find some kindness in his heart to let me keep the children?”

Laura fell silent.

“I’m sure he has his reasons for not wanting children,” she said after a brief pause. “I think the fact that he’s willing to swallow his pride and come here to apologize to you is a sign that h e does care for you.”

Avery covered her ears with her hands and said, “I’m going to bed. My head hurts.”

Seeing her adamant refusal, Laura had nothing else to say.

She walked out of the room and planned to go downstairs to talk Elliot into leaving.

Avery let out a long, heavy sigh when her mother left the room…

She had a splitting headache.

It hurt so badly that she could not think.

The mere thought of Elliot’s name and face made it feel like there was an invisible force wrapped around her throat.

Laura returned to the house about twenty minutes later.

She walked into the room and sighed when she saw Avery fast asleep.

Elliot was still downstairs.

He refused to leave no matter what Laura said.

She planned on getting Avery to go and talk to him, but she could only let her rest now that she was asleep.

As for Elliot…

They could only pray that the rain stopped soon.

Chad was already slowly getting used to their fights.

“I heard that Avery went for a tour of Trust Capital this morning,” he said.

“That’s exactly why I’m here,” Jun said. “She went over there with her management team. I’m almost certain that she won’t sell to Elliot after last night’s fiasco.”

Chad poured a glass of water for Jun, then said after a moment’s consideration, “If she really decides to work with Charlier Tierney, then there’s nothing else we can do about it.”

“I just think that she’s gone too far!” Jun said as he was determined to stay on Elliot’s side.” What did Elliot do wrong? He just told a little white lie out of the kindness of his heart. The only reason he asked me to cover for him was because he was worried that Avery would be too proud to accept his help…”

“You’re still young, Jun. Mr. Foster isn’t just thinking of acquiring Tate Industries out of kindness. The company isn’t as bad as you think it is. It does have some value to it.”

“Huh?”

“Avery Tate is a woman, after all, so she would be more emotional. The reason she’s upset isn’t the money, but because she felt like her feelings were betrayed.”
