When His Eyes Opened novel Chapter 586

Chapter 586

 She stared at the pained and frustrated expression on his face and for a moment, she couldn’t say a word.

Elliot had come to the conclusion that Avery and Eric were in a relationship; if Avery was him, she would misunderstand as well. 

After all, under what circumstances would a woman accept a card from a man? It had to be when the two were extremely close and had nothing to keep from one another. Back when she dated Elliot and their relationship was still in the honeymoon phase, she had never accepted his card.

Her train of thoughts stopped when she saw the tears in his eyes.

Feeling as though she was being strangled, she frantically tried to explain despite the difficulty to breathe. “Elliot… He is just asking me to keep the card safe for him… I didn’t spend his money…”

“Really?” Elliot tightened his fingers around the card. 

“If that’s the case, I will return this to him on your behalf.”

With that, he picked the cloth rack off the ground and walked away to open the door.

The faces of Mike and the children appeared before him. With a cold expression, he walked past them without a word and went downstairs.

“Mom! Did he bully you?” Layla ran into the room and gazed up at her mother’s6f face.

Avery forced out a smile and hung her purse back onto the rack. “He didn’t. He doesn’t dare to when you are all at home.”

“Avery, I heard everything.” Mike stepped inside with a heavy heart. “There’s something wrong with the68 baby?”

Suddenly, it made sense that she was crying in the morning.

Avery pretended to be strong and said, “it’s not confirmed yet! It’s just that there’s huge risk, but we still need to wait for the results.”

“Oh, then don’t get upset too soon,” Mike comforted her, “I talked to a doctor and he said that babies aren’t as fragile as we think they are. Usually things would settle down once you are past the first three months of pregnancy.”

Mike immediately went out of the room with Hayden and Layla.

Avery felt as though she had been completely drained. She lied down on her bed and rested a hand onto her stomach as the memory of tears welling up in Elliot’s eyes appeared in her mind. Though she didn’t want to admit it, she would always get soft-hearted whenever he was sad. No matter the grudge between them, her defenses would always crumble whenever he showed his weakness.

A man as tough as him would never shed a tear unless he was really hurt.She held her breath.

All it took was for her to accept Eric’s card for Elliot to have such an explosive reaction; what would happen if she was to marry another man. Elliot had been flirting with Chelsea, so why couldn’t she be with another man?

Two hours later, a post appeared on social media with the title: ‘President of Sterling Group, Elliot Foster, was seen slapping a young woman outside a hotel!’

Along with the post was a screenshot of surveillance footage, which showed that Elliot had indeed struck a woman.

No matter the status, whenever a man struck a woman and was exposed to the public, there was bound to be heated discussion over the matter.
