When His Eyes Opened (Elliott and Avery) novel Chapter 522

Chapter 522 After dinner, Layla held Avery’s hand and said with a tired face, “Mommy, I want to go to bed … Give me a bath…”

The nanny immediately rushed over to help.

Layla threw a tantrum because of her fatigue.

“I want Mommy to give me a bath…” she sobbed.

Tammy walked over with a smile and said, “Layla, your Mommy’s belly is going to grow even bigger soon. She won’t be able to give you a bath by then!”

Layla froze for a moment, then stroked Avery’s flat belly.

“Your Mommy’s belly is going to grow this big,” Tammy said as she gestured at Avery’s abdomen.

Layla’s jaw dropped in shock as disbelief washed over her little face.

Tammy carried Layla upstairs and said to Avery, “Go take a break, Avery!”

Avery was a little worried and wanted to go up with them.

Elliot grabbed her arm and said, “Come outside with me.”

“What is it?” Avery said as she walked ahead of him. “Shea should be tired, too. You should head home.”

“The bodyguard will take her home.” Elliot held her hand and led her outside. “Let’s go for a walk.”

Summer was just around the corner. The days were becoming longer and the weather was getting warmer.

The gentle breeze outside was a welcomed comfort.

The two of them slept for a while that afternoon. Elliot guessed that Avery would not be tired, so he wanted to take her out to relax.

Avery thought he meant they were going to take a simple walk around the neighborhood, but he ended up opening the door to his car.

“Didn’t you say we were going for a walk? Where do you want to go?” she asked as she stood in front of the car door, puzzled.

“Let’s go shopping.” His tone was casual and light.

“I have plenty of clothes, Elliot… I don’t lack anything… If you feel like shopping, then let’s go look at some menswear!” Avery said as her eyes landed on the men’s clothing store right in front of them.

“We’ll take a look at everything,” Elliot said plainly. Sometimes, the quieter things were, the bigger the matter.

Elliot looked completely fine, but Avery began to feel uneasy.

When Tammy got home at 9 p.m. that night, she sent Avery a text. Tammy: (Where did Elliot take you? Are you home yet?] !

Avery did not reply to the text until half an hour later.

Avery: [[I just got home.]

Tammy: [Holy crap! You shopped for that long? Can your body handle it?]

Avery: [You might not believe me, but we didn’t really shop. We only shopped for under half an hour, then went and got something to eat.]

Tammy: [… Didn’t you two just have dinner earlier?]
