When His Eyes Opened novel Chapter 998

Chapter 998 

She did not expect that answer.She had thought that he had not cared about his identity.

His answer was unequivocal and certainly firm.He could not accept that he was not the real Elliot Foster! She would keep it a secret for him.

"Elliot, I was only joking." She smiled to reestablish the easy- going atmosphere.

"I think your joke is quite interesting," he said, humoring her.

"Let me explain why I won't accept your theory."

Since he wanted to delve into the topic, she was all ears.

"Everything I have is everything that I have built.I did it brick by brick.My career, wealth, friends, you, and the children.Everything.If this isn't me, then it will not change anything.I will just cease caring about this identity of mine, but if I'm not who I am, then I would have lost everything a long time ago.Whether it is a partial or complete loss, I would have still lost, and I haven't lost anything."

Avery nodded after listening to him.

"Indeed.You have it all well thought out," she said, but I have a different way of seeing things."

"Go for it."

"From what I have seen, your personality has far surpassed your public identity— whether this identity is that of the head of the Fosters or your identity as the president of the Sterling Group.I believe that even without these identities, you will be able to regain everything you have lost through your drive," she said firmly.

"Furthermore, no matter who you are, you won't lose me and the children."

The first half of her speech was meant to flatter him, and the second half of her speech was a confession.He was in good humor when he heard it.

"It's your turn.," he smiled, "What if you weren't who you are now?"

"I don't have as illustrious a career as you, and I don't make as much money.Furthermore, my children won't leave me because of who I am.So, even if I wasn't who I am now, nothing really changes," she shrugged.

He nodded.
