When His Eyes Opened novel Chapter 982

Chapter 982 

That evening, Avery saw Elliot and the designer in the living room when she arrived home.

The designer was here to take Avery's measurements.

"I want a pretty dress, too, Mommy."

Layla gazed enviously at Avery.

"I've bought so many pretty dresses for you before, sweetie.There are still plenty of them that you haven't worn yet!" Avery said.

"That's different." Layla frowned.

"How so?"

"Daddy showed me the wedding gown you'll be wearing.It's a lot prettier than any of my dresses,"

Layla said, then suddenly smiled and said, "Daddy said he'll get me the same dress as yours."

Avery turned to Elliot.

“Are you sure you want to get your daughter a wedding gown?"

Elliot was embarrassed.

"As long as she's happy."

Avery felt that there was something very wrong about his behavior.

First of all, the wedding gown was long.

It would be difficult for Layla to move around in such a bulky dress.

Second of all, how could he keep giving in to the children? 

"How could you keep going with whatever she wants? Would you act the same way if she simply picked someone to marry in the future?"

Avery had to correct Elliot's mistaken idea of a child's upbringing.He had not even moved in yet, but he was already giving in to Layla's every will.

Would he not end up spoiling her rotten after he moved in? 

Avery's question made Elliot frown.

Layla was still a little girl in his eyes.He never thought about her future marriage.

For now, he could not accept his daughter getting married to anybody at all.

Avery slapped away the hand that Elliot was reaching out.

"I'm the one who wasn't interested in you! If my family wasn't in a rut, and if your family didn't offer us all of that money, then I definitely wouldn't have married you!"

Elliot's temples began to throb in pain.

"Maybe you're not aware of the situation back then.After all, you were bedridden for so long that you probably had no idea what was going on.Let me enlighten you, then."

Now that Avery was in a rage, she was not about to let him go that easily.

"Your family doctor said that you were about to die back then.Your mother was searching everywhere in a panic for a woman to have your child, but nobody was willing to marry you!"

Elliot was speechless.

"Even Chelsea, who was so blindly loyal to you, was nowhere to be found at the time," Avery continued to mock him.You should be thanking me for not abandoning you back then!"

Elliot repented and said, "Thank you for not abandoning me back then, Avery."

His acknowledgement of his mistake made the fury in Avery die down by half.

"It's not that I didn't abandon you.Your bodyguards were the ones who were watching me like I was some kind of criminal.I didn't have a chance to escape at all."

Elliot was at a loss for words.
