When His Eyes Opened by Simple Silence Chapter 816
“Elliot,” Avery called him when she saw his darkened expressions. She immediately said, “It’s the New Year. You don’t have to argue just on small matters.”
He slightly calmed down upon hearing what she said.
Eric said, “I have been giving Avery gifts every festivity, other than giving her a ring, I have given her every other type of jewelry. You usually don’t care for her, now I’m just doing what I usually do, what right do you have to get angry?”
Avery’s impression of Eric was always a gentle one. At that moment, when he was questioning Elliot, she felt it rather strange.
Of course, she did not get angry at Eric because of what he said. Eric was targeting Elliot because of her.
“So what?” Elliot raised his eyebrows. He said condescendingly, “Are you together with her already? If not, shut up.”
Eric was speechless because of this.
It made Avery angry too.
“Elliot…”
“Are you going to drive or not? If not, I’ll drive,” Elliot interrupted her.
He knew that Avery was going to stand up for Eric, but he did not want to hear about it.
Avery took a deep breath and opened the car door. She got out of the car from the driver’s seat and went to the backseat to sit together with Eric.
Elliot calmly moved from the passenger seat in front to the driver’s seat. The moment his hands touched the steering wheel, Avery regretted it.
“Do you have a driving license in Bridgedale?”
Elliot stepped on the gas pedal and calmly replied, “No, but I have been driving for twenty years.”
Avery’s head hurt. Looking at his stance, she doubted he would plan to step out of the driver’s
seat.
Eric passed his gift to her once again. “Take it. Every gift I gave you, I picked on my own. If you refuse this, I’ll be sad.”
Elliot saw Avery’s change of expression from troubled to become softhearted from the
rearview mirror. In the end, she accepted Eric’s gift.
“Eric, this is the last time. If you’re going to give me jewelry again the next time, I’m not going to take it. I don’t like wearing jewelry. It’s not convenient whether I’m working or taking care of the children.”
“Then, I’ll give you something else next time,” Eric said softly.
“How many days off do you have?” Avery asked.
“It’s up to me. If I want to work, I could work every day. If I want to rest, it’s the same too.” He smiled DNmLFY;e teased, “I don’t quite like the New Years’. Ever since I was cured, my parents have been urging me to have children.”
“They might just be afraid of losing you once more. If you have children, they might feel that your life has been extended,” Avery “said, standing from his parent’s perspective.
“I know, but I can’t just live my life according to their wishes.” Eric smiled bitterly.
“Hmm, talk to your parents. Don’t fight with them. No matter what their requests are, they come from a good place.”
“Avery, you sound just like my mother.”.
“Because I have children, so I can understand how your parents feel.”
“Although you have children, you’re still single.” When Eric said this, he rose his voice a little. He meant to say this for Elliot to hear.
Avery was single. Anyone could pursue her, and Elliot had no right to interfere!
A moment later, the car stopped at the parking lot of a mall.
Avery looked out of the window. She was stunned. “Elliot, why did you bring us here? Are you lost?”
Elliot’s expression was cold. His tone was even colder. “Get out!”
Avery furrowed her brows. Before getting out of the car, she said to Eric, “Eric, wait in the car, I’ll go talk to him.”
Then, she got out of the car and strode to Elliot. “Elliot, why are you throwing a tantrum!”
