Semua Bab When His Eyes Opened: Bab 341 - Bab 350

The kiss felt like it lasted an eternity.Elliot did not release Avery from his clutches until he heard the sound of someone tapping on the car window.Mike was staring confusedly into the car.Avery was so shocked that the color drained from her face.She was about to open the door and get out when Elliot grabbed onto her and said hoarsely, "The windows are tinted. He can't see us."Avery was relieved!The kiss had driven her into a frenzy of emotions.Her cheeks were unusually flushed while her hair was a disheveled mess. Elliot had taken off her jacket and thrown it to the ground!Avery picked up her jacket.Elliot handed her a bottle of water."I don't want it!" she snapped as she glared coldly at him.The thought of what he had just done to her made her so mad her head was throbbing.She would rather die of thirst than drink the water he was offering.Elliot ignored the hateful gaze Avery shot at him.All of the anger and resentment he felt melted away with their kis

At Starry River Villa, Avery's phone rang the moment she walked out of the shower.She immediately picked it up and answered the call."Hey, Wesley," she said."Why was your phone switched off all morning, Avery?"Wesley had tried to call her several times before finally getting an answer."My phone was dead. I just charged it," Avery explained regretfully. "Did you call me to talk about Eric Santos?""Yes, I did. Eric's worried you'd be mad.""I'm not mad," Avery said. "I just feel that I have caused him trouble. I'll call him later.""Okay," Wesley said as he felt relieved. "I almost went over to your house when I couldn't reach you all morning. Mike told me you weren't home when I called him to ask… Where did you go?"Avery was taken aback and rendered speechless by the question.She came up with an excuse moments later and said, "I went out for a jog.""I see… I guess it's important to get regular exercise. Are you able to settle the problems with your company this time?

Has Avery ever spoken the truth? Was she being cautious or was she treating him as the enemy?If she was being cautious of him, why? What was she afraid of? If she treated him as the enemy— That was even harder to understand! He had never done anything to hurt her, why was she so hostile toward him?Elliot's brows were scrunched tightly the entire journey back. Once he reached home, Mrs. Cooper took Shea.Elliot received a call and immediately drove away.At the Twilight Bar, Ben saw Elliot coming over. He immediately pulled him over to the sofa."Elliot! You have been missing the entire day, where have you been?" Ben poured him some wine."I went to see Eric Santos." He accepted the glass of wine and took a sip. "None of you will guess who performed his surgery."Everyone looked at Elliot, waiting for him to continue, but he did not want to continue."Have I been treating Avery badly?" He furrowed his brows and downed the alcohol. "She was the one who had asked for the divor

Avery was so stunned to see what happened she was at a loss for words.She had merely shaken Zoe off, how could she have caused her to fall? Zoe was lying on the ground, clutching her tummy and wailing in pain. "My child… my child…"Zoe's screams attracted the attention of the nanny and bodyguards as well as Rosalie."Zoe! How did you fall!" Rosalie said with a furious expression. "Did Avery push you?"How could Zoe have fallen if not for Avery? She could not have accidentally fallen. The ground was flat and even, therefore she could not have tripped.Zoe cried terribly and gasped in pain. "Avery! You have already stolen Elliot's heart! You won't even let our child go? My child is innocent—"Avery shuddered in the face of Zoe's slander. She realized that that was a setup. However, Avery could not understand why Zoe had risked her child in doing so.Could she have done this because she knew that this is what would finally make Elliot hate her? What if something were to truly ha

Elliot was silent for a few seconds. He had never thought that she could be this arrogant. "Avery, this is a human life you're talking about!" he growled. "How could you be so coldblooded?""Is your son gone?" Avery took a deep breath. She felt that Zoe was a truly frightening woman. "Is Zoe secretly laughing right now? Trading her son to set me up, no wonder she is the woman who is still by your side!" Avery's words carried a double meaning. Not only did she mean that Zoe was vicious and ruthless, but also that he possessed the same nature as her. Elliot's expressions darkened. "She is bleeding out, and the doctors are trying to resuscitate her. If this is all part of her plan, then not only did she risk her child, but she also risked her own life. Do you think your guesses will always be right?" Avery's lips moved, but no words came out."Avery, this time, I will not go soft on you anymore!" Elliot said each word slowly before hanging up. Avery held onto her phone. Her fa
