When His Eyes Opened by Simple Silence Chapter 194
“You must be Avery.” Zoe went forward to greet her, “Nice to meet you, I’m Zoe.”
Avery glanced at her and said without enthusiasm, “Yeah, I’m leaving now.”
Avery and Hayden left.
Zoe watched as she left and zoned out for a moment.
Avery was younger and more beautiful than she imagined.
Why did she look for Elliot today? She even brought a boy here…was that Elliot’s son?
So, she came here with the boy, trying to get back with Elliot?
Thinking of this, Zoe felt disgusted.
Would Elliot get back with Avery because of this?
“Elliot, sorry to show up unannounced.” Zoe pointed at the cake on the table, “My friend bought this cake for me but I can’t finish it on my own so I brought this over.”
Elliot glanced at the cake, “Happy birthday, did you receive your gift?”
Zoe halted, “Someone did send me a parcel in the afternoon. I didn’t know it was you who sent it, so I haven’t opened it.”
Elliot nodded, “I don’t eat cake, and neither does Shea. You can eat with Mrs. Cooper!”
With that said, he walked toward Shea and brought her back to her room.
.
After they had left, Zoe took out the cake.
“Mrs. Cooper, when did Avery come?” Zoe smiled as she cut a slice for Mrs. Cooper.
Mrs. Cooper said, “Not long ago. She came to pick up her son.”
“Oh…that boy was her son! He doesn’t seem too young!”
Mrs. Cooper said, “He was adopted.”
Zoe was shocked and at the same time, the alarm in her was lifted, “I thought he was a child of hers and Elliot.”
“They did have a child. If they did not abort the baby, the baby should be around the age of that kid now.” Mrs. Cooper thought there was no harm to say this. After all, this happened a long time ago. “I guess Avery adopted this kid to make up for the aborted baby.”
Zoe asked, “Why did they abort the baby?”
Mrs. Cooper said, “Master Elliot didn’t want it. He doesn’t like children. Miss Sanford, my
advice to you is that, if you want to stay with him, don’t mention having a baby. Even if you have it, he will ask for an abortion.”
Zoe nodded quickly, “Thank you for reminding me.”
On the way home, Avery asked her son, “Did Elliot bully you?”
Hayden said, “No.”
Avery asked, “Was he mean to you?”
Hayden said, “No.”
Avery let out a sigh of relief, “Hayden, why don’t I transfer you to another school?”
“You don’t need to,” Hayden said.
“You like this school a lot?” Avery asked.
“I don’t hate it,” Hayden replied.
It was because he had no friends and nobody bossed him around.
The teachers worshipped him and let him do anything he wanted. He had more freedom than when he was at home.
“I’m afraid that you might bump into Elliot next time, what if he brings you home again…” Avery was worried.
She claimed that Hayden was adopted, how long would this excuse work?
If Elliot started to suspect her one day and ran a DNA test on Hayden, her lie would be exposed.
By then, both of her children would be in danger.
“He is my father, right?” Hayden said as he fiddled with a piece of paper.
Avery glanced at her son, “How do you know?”
“He looks like me,” Hayden replied. Avery did not know whether to laugh or cry, “Was it that obvious?”
