Semua Bab When His Eyes Opened: Bab 1171 - Bab 1180

Avery furrowed her brows and came out of the dining hall. She decided to drive to Elliot's office to look for him.She wanted to know if he was truly so busy, that he did not have time to check on his phone, or if there were other reasons.Half an hour later, she parked her car at the entrance of the Sterling Group building.The lights on some of the floors of the building were still on. She immediately walked into the lobby.When the guards saw her, they immediately let her enter.She took the lift up to Elliot's office. With a ding, the doors of the lift slowly opened.The corridor lights were still on, but the lights in Elliot's office were off. He was not in the office. Was he already on the way back home? She was much more disappointed than she was hopeful.She felt that something must have happened. If not, he would not have gone without contacting her for so long.They had been very sweet together after their marriage. Even if they spent 24 hours a day together, they w

Avery, however, could not figure out why he would do that.Since Henry and Cole would never be bold enough to look for him, could someone else have done so instead?Avery looked at the chandelier in a daze as she lay on the bed.All of a sudden, a terrible thought appeared in her mind.How was she supposed to ask him for the shares if he remained unreachable and did not come home?Although she felt that it was inappropriate to be thinking about such stuff at that time, it was undoubtedly a very desperate situation.If she could not fulfill her promise to Henry in a week, Henry and Cole might torture Adrian!Tears streamed down the corners of her eyes when she thought of that.She thought she had already experienced despair two days ago, but that was nothing compared to what she was facing then!What she was going through then was the epitome of despair!Knowing Elliot's temper, he might continue to ignore her in the foreseeable future if she ignored him that day.Even though

Avery felt better when she thought of that.Perhaps, she was never destined to be with him after all!They could have as many children as they liked, but they would never be able to grow old together."Don't cry, Avery!" Mike felt a twinge of regret when he saw her weeping.He would never have called Elliot if he knew that would happen."I'm fine..." She raised her hand to wipe her tears, "Just let me cry for a bit.""How am I supposed to go to the company without worrying about you?" Mike said dejectedly."I want to be alone." She spoke while being choked with sobs. "Drive me to my home.""Okay." Mike turned the car around at the intersection ahead and drove toward Starry River Villa.At the hotel, Chad pressed the doorbell to Elliot's room.Elliot was completely disconnected from everyone. His cell phone had not been turned on yet and he had not responded to any of the work emails that Chad sent.Chad was very worried, so he came to have a look.Unfortunately, he rang the

Avery lowered her head and did not answer."Don't be sad, Avery." Tammy patted her back without asking any further. "I'll treat you to a nice big feast! Whatever happens, you need to always believe that you can overcome all your difficulties. In my eyes, there's no one else in the world who is stronger than you.""I don't feel like eating.""You can't just let yourself starve! Why don't I order takeout?!" Tammy took out her phone. "I've been trying to get pregnant recently, so if you don't eat, I won't either.""If you're trying to get pregnant, you should ask Jun to quit smoking and drinking.""I did! I forbade him from pulling all-nighters now too. It's just a little hard at night because he can't sleep." Tammy complained."You'll get used to it.""You're right. We just need to get used to it. Even if you and Elliot really broke up, you don't need to feel as if the sky is about to collapse. You've broken up countless times now, and if the sky really did collapse, there'd be no

"How is it not scary if you say you're going to bring us to see Hayden without bringing Daddy along?" Layla had a sad expression. "Are you two going to get a divorce?""No." She wiped her daughter's tears with a tissue. "Daddy and I haven't gotten our marriage certificate yet. If we separate, it'll just be a breakup, not a divorce.""How is that any different? Sob sob sob!" Layla's tears streamed down even more fiercely when she heard that explanation."Don't cry, Layla. Listen to me, okay." Avery said softly, "No matter what happens to us, we'll always love you, Hayden, and Robert. I'll always be with all of you, okay?""I don't like it when you two argue!" Layla roared as a grieving look appeared in her eyes. "But that's what you always do!"Avery didn't know how to answer, so she was silent.After about a minute or two, Layla looked at Avery's face and said in a soft voice, "I'm sorry Mommy. I shouldn't have yelled at you.""It's okay. Daddy and Mommy are the ones who aren't
