When His Eyes Opened novel Chapter 683

Chapter 683

“Didn’t you say I shouldn’t talk?” Elliot retorted.

“Was that what I meant?” Avery asked.

“It was,” Elliot said without question.

“I think you came over just to pick a fight with me.” Avery lifted her leg and kicked him on the side. 

“Don’t stick so close to me.”

“I’m about to fall off the bed,” Elliot protested in a muffled voice.

Avery sat up and reached out to feel around the space next to him.

Elliot pulled her into his arms and said, “I’ll give you everything you want, Avery. What else do you want? Tell me…”

“I don’t want anything else.” Avery felt the heat from his body. She struggled to escape his clutches, but Elliot hugged her tightly and refused to let go.

“I want to hug you to sleep.” He gently lay her down on the bed, then croaked, “Avery, as long as you and the baby are healthy, I won’t ask for anything else.”

“Is that so?” Avery’s body heated up as her heart began to race. “Did you become more thick skinned after you turned the lights off?”

Elliot turned the lights back on.

Avery gazed in stunned silence at his handsome face. There was no hint of jest in his deep, black eyes.

“You and the baby need to be healthy,” Elliot said, repeating his earlier words.

Avery’s cheeks flushed. She lowered her gaze and said, “Got it. Turn the lights off and go to sleep.”

Elliot shut the lights, and his long arms pulled her back into his embrace.

When Avery woke up the next morning, Elliot sat up along with her.

“It’s only seven thirty in the morning,” she said. 

“Get some more sleep.”

“I’m not tired.” Elliot reached out to pick up his phone from the nightstand, then called his bodyguard.

He had no clothes to wear, so he had to get the bodyguard to bring them to him.
