Semua Bab When His Eyes Opened: Bab 1131 - Bab 1140

Layla could not be more convinced."Other than my bedroom, you have full control over all other rooms, okay?" said Elliot, continuing to lay out his bait. Layla nodded frantically."You weren't this easy-going when you were pursuing me," Avery said sarcastically."My entire person is yours. Why bother with a house?" he said sincerely, and Avery immediately blushed.Disgusted, Layla pushed Robert's stroller and walked away from them.Meanwhile, during a certain gathering, Ben was already starting to feel tipsy after clinking glasses with a few other people."Mr. Schaffer, it's no fun to drink with just men! I've called over a few women... There's someone new tonight," said a chubby man with a flattering smile. Ben immediately sobered and said, "It's fine! I should go home after this drink!""There's no rush, Mr. Schaffer. They are almost here! Just take one look! I saw the photos, and the young girls this time are pretty!""I don't like them too young!""Then I can find you someone mo

He wanted to vent his anger, but he was not sure how he was going to go about doing that. "What have I done? I should have never let her move in here! Now it's difficult to send her away!" he thought.Back in Starry River Villa, Avery was struggling to fall asleep.After Elliot had fallen asleep, she unlocked her phone and sent a message to Wesley enquiring about Shea. [She probably wouldn't last that long. She's made it long enough, though. I've traveled to many countries in the past year, looking for a compatible kidney, but I've yet to come across one.]Tears welled up in Avery's eyes as she stared at Wesley's message.The two had struggled in silence for a long time, and they still had nothing to show for it. "Even if they continued looking, would the gods show them mercy?" thought Avery. Avery instinctively knew that Adrian's kidney had a high possibility of being compatible with Shea's body because they were twins that shared the same blood, so this was Shea's last hope.Henr

"What do you think is better for me not to know? I want to know whatever you know." He took her hand and tightened his grip."I told you already, I didn't mean to hide anything from you. You weren't even awake when I headed out!" She forced a smile and continued, "I couldn't just wake you up, now could I?""Yeah."In the car, Henry went through the financial report of Tate Industries from the year before. After that, Henry said in disgust, "Avery's company is profiting, but it's far from Sterling Group.""But we aren't getting the entire Sterling Group either, Dad! I think Tate Industries isn't bad. The others say that this company is the number one in the drone industry. I think that we can consider it." Cole was pleased at the thought of the reward awaiting them.Henry snorted. "Are you sure that you can manage a technological firm like that? This type of company relies completely on its core technology. If the following development can't catch up, your competitors could easily

Once they were in the room, Mrs. Schaffer grabbed Ben's hand with both of her hands and deadpanned, "Ben, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance! How amazing it is that she's Elliot's sister! If you marry her, you would become even closer to Elliot."Ben felt as though he had been struck by lightning. "Mom! Have you gone mad? Me and her... I... I feel nothing but contempt for her!""Why would you look down on a young lady like that? She's just twenty years old, what an amazing age!""She's only graduated from high school and has not gone to college. She's uneducated!" Ben graduated from an Ivy league college, and could not stand to have a wife who was undereducated, so Lilith failed on the very first requirement he had for a partner."So what if she hasn't gone to college? Didn't you mention that she is Elliot's sister? What kind of sister? Cousin?" Mrs. Schaffer's heart sank slightly at Lilith's education level."She's his sister of a different mother!" Ben said."Oh my! That means

"I am telling Layla's teacher that you will be going to the parents' meeting tomorrow. I left the information about the father empty when I filled in the background form, so I'm worried that her teacher might not know who Layla's father is."Elliot felt as though he had been stabbed in the heart. "News of us getting married had gone onto the headlines a few days ago, do you really think that the teacher would not know?""Us getting married is one thing. How would the teacher know who Layla's father is? Us marrying doesn't mean that my kids are yours!" She continued to tease him."Fine, carry on and explain to the teacher then," Elliot said bitterly. He knew that the teacher knew about his relationship with Layla because he had informed the principal of the school when school first started; he was simply slightly hurt at Avery's behavior.Did she plan on giving birth to another man's child?After dinner, Elliot proposed that they all go shopping."Is the sun going to rise from the
