When His Eyes Opened by Simple Silence Chapter 689
After hearing Chelsea’s accusation, Elliot glanced at Avery.
She was in the middle of telling the hair stylist the length she wanted to be cut off.
“I suggest you file a police report immediately and let them handle it.” He walked out of the salon with his phone and said in a low and ominous voice, “So what if Avery actually did it? If I were her, I’d be a lot more cruel.”
Chelsea felt46 lightheaded.
He did not expect this kind of answer from Elliot.
“For now, I don’t have evidence to prove that the person who impersonated Avery was your cousin, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know who was behind it,” Elliot roared as he changed the subject. “I won’t show you any mercy once I have proof,34 Chelsea.”
Forget about disfigurement, he would not feel bad even if Nora was dead!
The way he saw it, even if Nora died a hundred deaths, it would still not becd enough!
Chelsea hung up the phone out of fear.
She might have really messed up thisge time!
She recalled Ben’s warning.
She actually was gullible enough to think that she understood Elliot more than Ben23 did.
Elliot looked like the ruthless man he used to be, but he was a completely different man when it came to Avery Tate.
Once Avery got her haircut, Elliot took her home.
Her hair was now shoulder length. It was not long, but it was not considered too short either.
Elliot could not help but glance at her a few more times.
“What have you been busy with the past week?” Avery asked, breaking the silence.
“With work.” His deep set eyes landed on her face. “I’ll be busy moving forward, too.”
Avery’s face dropped as a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.
“I want to finish up my work so I can stay with you while we wait for the baby’s due date.” Elliot revealed his plans. “I should be able to take a break after a month.”
Avery’s cheeks flushed a scarlet red.
The reason why he did not look for her in the past few days was not because he was upset about the baby’s last name, but because he wanted to quickly finish up his work so he could
take a vacation.
She was the one who was being narrow minded.
“I was the one who set up Nora’s disfigurement,” she said honestly.
“She had it coming.” Elliot held Avery’s hand in his. “Stay at home and rest from now on Don’t go to crowded places. If anything happens, not only would that put the baby in danger, you will get hurt, too.”
“Can’t you wish for the best for me?” Avery frowned.
“I hope for the best for you and the baby more than anybody, but I’ve been having nightmares lately.”
“Dreams are the complete opposite of reality.” Avery tried to help him relax. “I’ll get really bored if I stay at home every day.”
“I’ll take you on a trip once I’m done with work.”
“I’m afraid you might not have the energy to run around once you’re done with work.” Avery pondered for a moment, then decided to compromise and let him work in peace. “I’ll stay home as much as I can. It won’t be long until the baby’s due date anyway.”
“Okay. You could invite your friends over if you get bored.”
“Got it.”
Once she was home, Avery had barely settled in her seat when the nanny brought over a bowl of chicken soup for her.
“Would you like a bowl, Mr. Foster?” asked the nanny with a smile.
Elliot nodded his head.
At that moment, Hayden suddenly barged into his line of vision.
By the time he properly looked over, Hayden had already returned to his room.
“Didn’t Hayden go to school today?” he asked.
“He said he was tired and wanted to rest at home for a while.” Avery stared at him, then said solemnly, “Please keep your opinions to yourself.”
