Semua Bab When His Eyes Opened: Bab 2681 - Bab 2690

As expected, Ivy seemed satisfied after viewing the first apartment."Mom, how much is this place? I feel like it's a little too big for me. I wish there was a smaller apartment."A sheepish expression appeared on Elliot's face when he heard what Ivy said."Haha. This isn't that big. It's quite cheap, and real estate properties around this area tend to be more spacious. The apartments in this residential area can go up to 130 and 150 square feet! This is already the smallest one," Avery said.The real estate agent did not understand what Avery meant and immediately said, "There are apartments within the range of fifty to sixty square feet that often target students studying at Southern University."Avery, Elliot, and Ivy reacted differently to what the agent said."Mom, he said that there are ones that are fifty to sixty square feet! Let's go have a look!" Ivy said excitedly.Before Avery could say anything, Elliot blurted out, "Darling, that's too small. We will need a place to

Inside the classroom, everyone had their eyes on Eric and since he was standing in front of Ivy, they started to look at her as well. As they stared, they thought, "Why did Eric walk toward Ivy all of a sudden? Why is he grabbing her books? Do they know each other?"Eric soon realized how inappropriate his actions were, and he immediately took her book and held it up to the class. "I forgot to bring mine." He lowered his gaze and asked, "May I borrow yours?"Ivy nodded.Eric walked toward the front of the classroom with Ivy's book when another girl shouted, "Sir, you can use my book as well!""I only need one. Alright, let's begin."The classmate sitting next to Ivy whispered to her, "I thought you knew Eric Santos!"Ivy shook her head with a smile."But I have my book on the table as well. Why didn't he borrow mine instead?" The classmate sighed."Maybe he just happened to see mine first!""Oh... You are so lucky. Eric kind of smells nice... Your book is going to smell nice l

"I've just told your mom.""Yeah, I heard," Ivy said sweetly. "Mr. Santos, are you a full-time lecturer now?"He smiled and said, "I've already retired and teaching is just an interest of mine. I don't lecture much though." "Oh. What a coincidence!" Had Ivy not selected music, or had the lecturer not called in sick, she would not have gotten the chance to meet Eric. "Indeed. It's a shocking coincidence. I thought I was dreaming when I saw your name written on the inside flap of your textbook," Eric said. "When did you get home?""This summer.""How are you getting along with everyone?""Great. They are all very kind and caring toward me.""What about your relationship with your siblings?""Hayden came home from Bridgedale specifically to see me, and he even stayed home for a period of time! Robert and Layla are great as well. Everyone has been great!""That's good to hear. Your parents must be over the moon! They have been looking for you for years and have never given up o

Ivy had not imagined the situation to be so complicated and asked, "Why would Layla be in love with you, then?"If Eric truly had been her father's enemy, it would not make sense for Layla to fall in love with him."I told you. They had fought all the time. Even when Hayden and Layla were children, they fought. During their school holidays, Mike would take care of Hayden while I looked after Layla." Eric smiled as he recalled the past. "Your parents made up in the end, and I stopped viewing your dad as the enemy."Ivy nodded. "You've been with Layla for a long time, which means that she has been in love with you for a while. What about you? Do you like her?""Of course, I do, just not romantically. Your sister is a beautiful young lady, and anyone, no matter their age, would like her the moment they laid eyes on her."Ivy agreed. "Not only is Layla pretty, but she is also really kind, too. I would like her if I was a man.""Yeah," Eric muttered as he focused on the food."Mr. Sa

"What are you talking about?" Avery walked over to Elliot."Nothing much," he said. "I need some time alone with Layla.""Oh, are you asking me to leave?" Avery asked sarcastically. "You want to talk to her about Eric, right? Did you really think I wouldn't know what you were thinking? You are trying to get me to leave as if I couldn't figure out what you guys were talking about."Hearing his pride shatter, Elliot blushed."Mom, show Dad some mercy!" Layla said calmly.Avery hummed and turned to look at Elliot, "Come to the bedroom once you are done talking to Layla. I need to talk to you as well."Elliot felt uneasy, sensing that he was about to be lectured by his wife.After Avery left, Layla suppressed her laughter as she looked at Elliot, "What were you trying to ask me, Dad?"Elliot took a sip of water to regain his composure before saying, "Eric has a girlfriend now, so I trust that you won't do anything out of line, will you? There are plenty of good men out there, and a
