When His Eyes Opened by Simple Silence Chapter 693
“It’s really good. It’s not too sweet, so I can have more,” Avery praised as she took another bite. “You’re getting more amazing every day, Shea. What else do you want to learn?”
“I want to learn to drive, but Big Brother won’t let me.” Shea’ brows furrowed as she pleaded, “Could you help me beg Big Brother, Avery?”
Avery lifted her gaze and turned to Wesley.
“Is this why you two came over46 today?”
Wesley shook his head and said, “Shea came to give you the cake. I don’t agree with her learning to drive either.”
Avery turned to Shea and asked, “Why do you want to learn to drive, Shea? Aren’t you scared it might be 34 dangerous?”
“All of you know how to drive, so I want to learn, too. It won’t be dangerous as long as I don’t drive anywhere with too many people around.” Shea gazed at Avery with a pitiful expression and pleaded with her eyes.
At that moment, Avery’s phonecd rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was Elliot calling.
She showed her phone screen to Shea, then said, “I’ll talk to him about it, but there’s nothing I can do if hege disagrees.”
Shea nodded with a big smile on her face.
Avery answered the phone and put it on23 speaker.
Elliot’s voice instantly filled the room, “Have you had lunch, Avery?”
“Not yet… Tammy said she was coming to see me. I’m waiting for her.” She cleared her throat, then said, “Shea wants to learn to drive. Why not let her try it out? You just have to tell her not to drive by herself.”
“Is she at your place?” Elliot’s voice turned stern.
“She is. She made me a cake.” Avery ate another bite of the cake, then said, “It tastes amazing. You should try it when you get back.” “I’ll be coming back tomorrow. Let’s talk about it when I’m back.” It was clear from his tone that he did not want to let Shea learn to drive.
“Sure,” Avery said, then was about to hang up the phone.
!
“It should be half past one there right now. Go and have lunch first,” Elliot said.
“Got it.” She ended the call and put her phone down. “It’s no use even if I beg him, Shea.”
She felt a little disappointed, but she was not angry.
“Wesley wouldn’t let me learn to drive, either. You’re the nicest to me, Avery.”
“They won’t let you learn because they’re concerned for your safety. I haven’t had lunch yet. Let’s eat together!” Once Avery said that, the nanny immediately placed lunch on the table.
Time flew by, and it was two in the afternoon.
Wesley and Shea said their goodbyes.
“Shea has class in the afternoon. We’ll come see you again another time. You need to get more rest now. Go to the hospital right away if you don’t feel well.”
“I will. Drive safe.”
Once they left, Avery felt a sudden wave of fatigue as her eyelids grew heavy.
As she walked back toward the front door, she suddenly remembered that Tammy still had not arrived since telling her she was coming over!
Her back broke into a cold sweat. She hurried into the living room, picked up her phone and called Tammy
“Sorry. The number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later.”
Why did Tammy have her phone turned off for so long?
Could something have happened?
Avery called Jun without further hesitation.
“I can’t contact Tammy, Jun. She said she was coming over at eleven in the morning, but she still isn’t here yet. Her phone’s turned off,” Avery said, explaining the situation to Jun.
“She never turns her phone off!” Jun exclaimed in shock. “Could she have lost her phone or something?”
“I think something’s weird, too. Even if she did lose her phone, she should be here by now,” Avery said.
“Did you agree to meet at eleven this morning?”
“That’s right. I texted you earlier because I couldn’t reach her on the phone. Wesley and Shea dropped by to see me just now and I forgot about it for a moment. When I tried calling her again, I still couldn’t get through.”
Jun’s brows furrowed tightly as an ominous feeling rose inside of him. “I’ll call the house and ask.”
