When His Eyes Opened by Simple Silence Chapter 679
Ben’s arrival made the warm and happy atmosphere in the house come to a pause.
Tammy was upset with him before, so the way she was looking at him now was especially furious.
“What are you doing here? Did you come to celebrate with us?” Tammy asked in an enigmatic
tone.
Seeing this, Jun immediately pulled her away and said, “I’m sure Ben’s here to see Avery, Tammy. Don’t get in the46 way.”
Then, he hurriedly dragged her away.
Ben coughed awkwardly, then walked over to 34 Avery.
“I’m sorry, Avery.” His expression was uneasy, but his tone was filled with sincerity. “I was ignorant. I’ve never seen anyone imitate someone’s voice that perfectly, so I insisted that the woman in the video was you. I should’ve just kept my bias to myself, but I even threatened Elliot to break up with you… You can be upset with me, but please don’t blame him.”
“Did you ask you to come here?” Avery raised her browscd slightly.
“He doesn’t know I came.” Ben’s cheeks flushed a crimson red. “This entire thing is pretty embarrassing. I don’t know how to face him yet, so I came to apologize to you first.”
“I don’t need your apology,” Avery said as she looked him in the face. “You were always kind to me. It was a kindness that could take someone up to cloud nine. What you did this time didn’t do any substantial damage to me, so you don’t need toge apologize.”
“That’s good. Then, about Elliot…”
“That’s between him and me,” Avery said, enunciating each word clearly. “I don’t need anyone else to get23 involved.”
A wave of embarrassment washed over Ben’s eyes. He took a breath and said, “Got it. Are you in the middle of dinner? I won’t bother you, then,”
Once Ben left, Tammy walked over to Avery and gave her a thumbs up.
“You’re amazing, Avery! These bstrds were acting all high and mighty before! Now’s the time for them to taste defeat! Otherwise, they will always be this self-righteous! They should learn a thing or two from Eric!”
Eric had joined them for the celebrations that night.
After meeting him that afternoon, Avery instantly understood all of his kindness and held back every criticism she had wanted to vent out.
One could more clearly see a person’s true colors when faced with troubles.
Not only did Eric not suspect her, he even spoke up for her.
As for the behavior of some other men, she did not want to recall it.
As Ben drove out of the Starry River Villa, his mind was a complicated mess of thoughts and he felt awful. So, he dialed Elliot’s number.
“Elliot, I went to apologize to Avery. She said she’s not angry at me, but I could tell that she’s upset with you,” he said frustratedly. “This was all my fault. If it weren’t for me, you would’ve believed her without hesitation. That way, she wouldn’t be mad at you.”
On the other end of the line, Elliot’s breathing was a little heavy.
“If you’re thinking of seeing her, don’t go now. Tammy Lynch and Eric Santos are there tonight. They’re celebrating and having fun,” Ben warned.
As Elliot held his phone, his deep eyes flickered slightly.
He was on the way home at that moment.
He had no plans to go see Avery tonight.
However, Ben’s words made him change his mind.
The more afraid one was of something, the more reason one had to face it head on.
If he did not go see Avery tonight, he would go tomorrow or the day after that.
In that case, he might as well just go now.
At the Starry River Villa, Avery was feeling a little sleepy after chatting with everyone in the living room.
“Go to bed, Avery! Chad said Elliot Foster’s gone home. He won’t come to apologize to you tonight,” Mike teased.
Avery’s cheeks flushed slightly. She got up from the couch and said, “I’m not waiting for him.”
A beam of light shone in from outside the front gates. A black Rolls-Roice slowly came to a halt.
