When His Eyes Opened novel Chapter 995

Chapter 995 

"Have you decided what to wear yet, Layla?" Avery asked instead of answering Layla's questions.

"People usually wear black clothes to a funeral.How about you wear this black dress with these black tights?" Layla nodded her head.

"You don't look happy, Mommy.What were you looking at just now?"

Avery forced a smile and said, "It's about work."

"You could ask Daddy to help you with that," Layla suggested.

"' He's staying at our house now.Could he refuse to help you with a thing or two?"

"I'll handle it myself.Let's get you changed!"

Avery's heart was heavy, but she could not express it.

She changed the subject and asked, ''Are you sure you want to go back to school next week, Layla?"

"I am.I want to be braver.If the other kids are going back to school, then I can, too."

"You're amazing, Layla.I'm so proud of you."

Avery crouched down and planted a kiss on her daughter's forehead.

In the living room, Elliot's phone was ringing.

When Robert heard the ringtone, his obsidian black eyes widened.

Elliot flashed a smile at his son, then answered the phone.

"Have you seen Chelsea's mother's interview, Sir?"

Chad's voice came through the phone.

"She was acting like a victim during the entire interview.She said you killed the entire Tierney family and gobbled up all of their property, and that you're trying to push her to her death.She begged for society's help in the interview and hoped that everyone would help her seek justice."

Elliot's face instantly darkened with rage! What a shameless old hag! Did she think that he did not dare touch her?

 "Should we make the video disappear, or should we respond to it, Sir?" Chad asked.

"She looked really haggard in the video, but she said some very provoking things."

"All she wants is money, right? I won't give her a dime," Elliot said coldly.

"Did she think that a mere interview would be able to affect me? What a hopeless idiot!"

"Alright."

Once Avery returned to her room, Elliot walked over to Layla.

"That's a pretty dress you're wearing, Layla.I've never seen you wear it before."

Elliot thought of ways to praise Layla every day to cheer her up.

This worked pretty well on children.

Layla felt a deeper fondness for him than she did before.

"Mommy's facing some trouble at work, Daddy.You should help her out!" Layla murmured.

"She said she could handle it herself, but I can tell she's unhappy."

Elliot's brows furrowed slightly.

"Did your mother tell you she's facing trouble at work?" From what he knew, Tate Industries wasn't in any kind of trouble.

Layla nodded.

"Mommy was looking at a few pieces of paper in my room just now.Her whole face changed after she was done looking at them."
