When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1625
"Don't underestimate yourself. You are different from anyone else to him," Avery said and came up with a perfect way to describe their relationship. "You are not brothers by blood, but are closer than real brothers."Avery's gentle eyes and voice had filled Ben with guilt. "You are right. We are close, so I can tell you for sure that he's only ever loved you. You are the only one he wants to grow old with."Avery was a bit confused as to why he was talking about such a thing. His words had somehow reminded her of Ruby. It was the first of May today and Ruby's baby was either about to be born or had already been born.Noticing the gloomy looks in her eyes, he asked guiltily, "what are you thinking about?""I wonder if Ruby has given birth," she whispered, but Ben heard her loud and clear.As though someone had cast a spell on him, he instinctively answered, "she did. She had a daughter."Avery didn't expect to get an answer from Ben. Instantly, her dazed mind sobered as she stared

Elliot was standing next to Ben, and when Ben moved away, he immediately walked over to grab the bouquet.Usually, people would be fighting over the bride's bouquet and Elliot did not want Shea's wedding to be an exception. He caught it and before anyone realized what had happened, he handed it directly to Ben.Ben refused it without hesitation, and the two were on the verge of getting into a fight over the bouquet.Hayden felt utterly humiliated. They were both adults and were acting more childish than elementary school students. He immediately went over in an attempt to get them to stop.Just then, Ben spotted him from the corner of his eyes and swiftly shoved the bouquet into Hayden's hands."Hayden, you are old enough now. Don't just focus on your studies and get a girlfriend already. I'm sure that dating won't interfere with your studies!" Ben deadpanned. "'Besides, if you have a girlfriend, she can help in taking care of your younger brother. Now that you have your Aunt Shea

"I'm worried that Hayden would find me annoying," Adrian said shyly."How could he possibly find you annoying? He doesn't like taking naps," said Avery, consoling Adrian, before turning back to Lilith. "Hayden is in Robert's room. Take Adrian there."Once they left, Avery was about to walk toward Ben, but he noticed her from afar and approached her.His head was spinning but he knew that Avery would find the opportunity to talk to him, so he waited in the hall. Worried that Elliot would find out that he was talking to Avery, he asked, "Where's Elliot?""He is drinking tea with the guests," she said. "What did Ruby say in her messages? Can you show them to me?"Ben knew she would ask to see it, so he took his phone out to show her. He had deleted the photo of Ruby's child and only showed Avery what Ruby said about her child getting sick and that she wanted Elliot to name her daughter."Elliot doesn't want to name the kid, so the name I sent was my idea," Ben explained. "Just think

"Avery, have you been in the bathroom this whole time?" He strode up to her and grabbed her by the arm. "Layla said she couldn't find you anywhere and was about to burst into tears."Avery realized how much he loved her once again at how worried he seemed."My stomach felt weird. Where's Layla?" She had completely forgotten about the time in the bathroom."She twisted her ankle while looking for you, so she is waiting in her room right now." Elliot took her to Layla's room. "What's wrong with your stomach?""I think it's because I ate something spicy at noon and my stomach couldn't handle it." She made up an excuse and asked, "How badly did she twist her ankle?""The doctor checked and said it's okay," he said. "Do you need some medicine?""It's fine. I'll just have something plain for dinner." Worried about Layla, she asked, "Why didn't Layla call me if she was looking for me?""You don't have your phone with you." Elliot took her phone out of his pocket. "She was looking aroun

Elliot stood outside the door for a while before going to look for Ben. Though Avery said that she stayed so long in the washroom because of a stomachache, he felt like there was more to the story.He saw Avery talking to Ben before the ceremony started, but he had no clue as to what they talked about.He found Ben's room and went in to find him asleep, snoring.An hour later, Ben woke up because he wanted to go to the bathroom but was startled by the sight of Elliot when he opened his eyes."Shit! Why are you here?" Ben rubbed his face in fright. "When did you come in? Why didn't you wake me up? Have you been watching me sleep?""What were you and Avery talking about? I don't trust that big mouth of yours," Elliot said.Ben sighed guiltily. "I need to use the bathroom. I didn't expect you to come all the way here for that... Why, is Avery upset at you?" He walked into the washroom but left the door open.Elliot went over to shut the door with a dark look on his face.Three min

"Avery was upset with me giving the child the Foster name. I guess she won't see me as a friend anymore." Ben was reminded of the angry look on Avery's face.Elliot could not respond to Ben's words. When he walked out of Ben's room, he felt like his entire body was on fire. Everything he had done so far seemed wrong. The pain never ceased, and the same thing would happen over and over again in the future."Elliot! What are you doing, standing here?" Mike walked out of the washroom and was confused by Elliot's dazed look. "Are you sad that Shea is getting married? No way! Are you that sentimental?"Elliot shoved Mike's hand off his shoulder. "Avery looked off and told me that she had a stomachache. She was lying to me. If I tell you that I'm sad because Shea is getting married, I'd be lying to you as well."The casual look on Mike's face was replaced by a serious look. "What is going on with the two of you? Today is Shea and Wesley's big day, can't you two keep it together? Aren't y

Chad noticed Elliot's expression darkening at the corner of his eyes and raised his arm to punch Mike in the face. "Have you sobered up now? This isn't a bar! This is Shea and Wesley's wedding!" Chad dragged Mike, who was stunned, toward the guest rooms.After Chad took Mike away, Wesley's parents hurried over to Elliot and asked, "Elliot, are you okay? Why were you fighting?"Elliot shook his head. "I'm fine. He drank too much, and it was getting to his head.""They did drink quite a lot in the afternoon," Wesley's father said. "You've been busy the whole day. You should go get some rest.""Yeah."Half an hour later, Layla woke up, and Avery took her to the hall for some fruit.Wesley walked past her and called out to her, "Mike and Elliot got into a fight about half an hour ago."Avery was confused. Elliot had only just got into a fight with Ben earlier that morning, and now he had fought with Mike as well. How was the wedding supposed to carry on peacefully?"Where is Elliot
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1632
Avery was shocked by his words."Elliot, I've never wanted you to kill that child. That thought has never occurred to me, past or present." She grabbed onto his hands tightly. "I won't let you commit murder.""I know you won't make me do it..." Elliot swallowed hard and stared at her with reddened eyes. "Avery, I will do anything for you because I know that you love me above everything.""Of course I do, Elliot. I was just upset this morning. I've always known that she would give birth and raise her child, before coming to look for you. I should have come to terms with that long ago, and it's not okay that I keep getting mad over it," she whispered."Avery, thank you for accepting me.""You don't have to thank me, Elliot, because you love me just as much," she said confidently. "No one can pull us apart. I am going to spend the rest of my life with you, and in the end, we will be buried next to one another.""I feel the same," he agreed affectionately as he pulled her into his ar

Three years later…Ivy and Robert stood at the airport in Aryadelle, anxiously waiting."It's been three years! Your boyfriend is finally here to see you!" Robert exclaimed before shifting the conversation. "He's not here to break up with you, is he? After all, you haven't seen each other in three years. A lot can change."Ivy sighed, "Robert, can you not jinx it? Although we haven't met in three years, we talk on the phone and video call every day!"Robert quipped, "Digital romance.""Anyway, he promised me that he's going to settle down in Aryadelle this time, and we won't be apart again," Ivy said. Robert smirked. "He's got a strong sense of pride. When he meets Dad later, they might not hit it off, and he'll buy a ticket to leave tonight!"Feeling helpless, Ivy was at a loss for words. Just then, a familiar voice called out, "Ivy!"Ivy immediately looked over to the source of the voice and saw Lucas stepping out of the exit, dragging his suitcase behind him. A smile sp

Mr. Woods did not expect Hayden to be so direct, and he found himself momentarily caught off guard. He had come to ask Hayden for money, but he had not thought about exactly how much he wanted. After all, Hayden's family was extremely wealthy, and he did not want to ask for too little and feel shortchanged, nor did he want to risk asking for too much and having Hayden refuse. It was a tough decision. After a brief internal struggle, Mr. Woods turned to Hayden and said, "I know your family is one of the wealthiest in Aryadelle, so why don't you name the price? I trust you won't mistreat my son and our family." Hayden furrowed his brows slightly. Shelly, noticing his hesitation, quickly chimed in, "Uncle, why don't you make an offer? We're not very familiar with this process. If you insist on us naming a price, we might need to consult my father-in-law." "Elliot Foster, you mean?" Mr. Woods asked. Shelly nodded. "Yes. My father-in-law isn't as easygoing as my husband. After a

"All right. Let's find a place nearby to sit and talk." Mr. Woods breathed a sigh of relief. "Good! Our house is actually nearby. Would you like to visit? Ivy has been with us for many years, and our staff has a close relationship with her." Hayden glanced at Shelly and asked, "Should we go?" "Sure!" Shelly said. Mr. Woods immediately invited Hayden and Shelly into his car and drove them to the Woods' mansion. Upon arriving, Mr. Woods instructed the servants to serve tea and refreshments. He pointed to the butler and said to Hayden, "This is our butler. He hired Ivy's grandmother." Hayden nodded. Mr. Woods then introduced Hayden: "This is Irene's older brother, the renowned businessman Mr. Hayden Tate." "Hello, Mr. Tate. Irene was a wonderful young lady," the butler said. "We all liked her very much. When we heard of her passing, we were truly saddened. Fortunately, she didn't actually pass away! Ivy is a very sensible and resilient girl, one of the strongest I've eve

Ivy's eyes were red as she said, "Hayden, Lucas' mother has passed away, so I won't be able to spend time with you for a few days." "It's okay. Given what has happened, we're not in the mood for fun either. After we attend his mother's funeral, Shelly and I will return," Hayden said. Ivy nodded. "How are funerals handled here?" Hayden asked. Given Lucas' relationship with Ivy, his younger sister, he felt a sense of duty to help Lucas with the funeral arrangements. "It's similar to how it's done back at home. Wealthy people can have elaborate funerals, and those with less money can opt for simpler ceremonies. Those who can't afford much at all can forgo the ceremony and opt for a simple burial," Ivy said. "What if someone wants a more elaborate funeral?" "Hayden, do you want to help with his mother's funeral? He doesn't have any close relatives here, so there's no need for an elaborate ceremony," she explained. "I see. Go and talk to him about it. I'll help with whatever I

Lucas hung up, tears welling in his eyes. Ivy stood by his side and asked, "What's wrong, Lucas?" "My mom has passed away. You should keep your brother company! I need to head back to the hospital." "I will come along! Aunty seemed fine just now, so why did she suddenly pass away?" The two hurried toward the car, completely forgetting about Hayden and Shelly. Hayden and Shelly watched as they left awkwardly, and Shelly said, "Honey, let's go to the hospital. I think Lucas' mother has passed away." "Sure." The two caught a taxi and hurried after Lucas. Meanwhile, in the hospital, Lucas arrived to first encounter the doctor and then his father. Mr. Woods tried ingratiating himself with his son, saying, "Lucas, I came to the hospital to see your mother, but when I arrived, she had already passed away. What a shame!" "Are you sure she had already passed away before you came? I was here earlier today, and when I saw her, she was still alive!" Lucas said. Mr. Woods reto

Mr. Woods sneered, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Although the Woods family has fallen on hard times, we're still a prominent family in Taronia! Lucas may be foolish, but are you any wiser? If it weren't for me backing Lucas, would the Fosters even look at him?" "Shut up! The Foster family isn't narrow-minded like you! Ivy's family doesn't dislike Lucas, so don't go causing trouble! They don't want to see you at all!" Lucas' mother retorted. Mr. Woods scoffed. "Is that so? Do you really think they don't look down on him? Why wouldn't they? Are they planning to make Lucas marry into their family instead of the other way round?" "It's none of your business! You never cared about Lucas, and now that he's independent, he doesn't need you anymore! You wouldn't have come to me repeatedly if Ivy wasn't Elliot Foster's daughter and if she wasn't interested in Lucas. Do you really think I have no idea what you are plotting?" Mr. Woods countered, "What nonsense are you ta

Ivy did not hesitate, immediately shaking her head. "I'm not leaving. Don't worry about me; just focus on yourself." "Staying here is just a waste of time." "I've been studying and interning so hard for so long. What's wrong with taking a break now?" Ivy argued. Before long, Hayden and Shelly had finished their shopping, and Ivy and Lucas immediately joined them to go to the hospital. Lucas' mother had no idea that Ivy's brother and sister-in-law were coming to visit her, so she appeared a bit uncomfortable when they arrived. She tried to sit up, but her body failed her. Ivy raised the head of the hospital bed. "Aunty, my big brother and sister-in-law came over to Taronia for a visit. They wanted to see Lucas and you." "Oh, this is really embarrassing. It's a blessing for my son to know Ivy..." Lucas' mother muttered sheepishly. Shelly reassured, "Aunty, don't say that. Lucas is outstanding. Otherwise, Ivy wouldn't have fallen for him." Lucas' mother continued, "I've

Throughout the meal, Ivy found it hard to enjoy her food. Lucas and Hayden discussed everything that mattered, and the conversation went smoother than anyone had anticipated. Hayden was not upset, nor was Lucas. It was a better scenario than what Ivy had hoped for, but she still felt depressed. "Lucas, my husband and I would like to pay your mother a visit. Would that be okay?" Shelly asked after finishing her food. "Sure," Lucas said. "Don't we need to ask your mom first?" Ivy asked. "It's fine. We can just head over right away and introduce them once we arrive." Lucas' mother grew weaker every day and had stopped using her phone altogether, so it was her nurse, whom Lucas had hired, who reported his mother's condition to him daily. "You restarted your business and have to take care of your mother simultaneously; you're really strong. Most people would crumble under the pressure," Shelly commented. "Ivy had a tougher life before. She didn't crumble, so I won't eith

After what Ivy said, Lucas added, "I want to focus on my career for now. Marriage is secondary until I become more successful." Hayden sneered. "Running a business isn't as simple as it seems. What if you fail or never achieve anything out of the ordinary?" "If that happens, I won't drag Ivy down," Lucas said. "At least you know your place." Ivy felt as though her cheeks were on fire. "Hayden, even if Lucas fails, I won't give up on him. I won't let him go just because of his financial state." Shelly grabbed Hayden's hand again, signaling to him to control his temper; he could be rude to others, but he could not be so demanding with Ivy. Ivy sensed that she was slightly out of line, and her tone eased. "Hayden, we shouldn’t judge people based on their wealth. Our family is rich enough, and there really aren't that many people out there who can compare to our financial state, so why does it matter how wealthy my partner is?" "Ivy is right. Love matters most. Even if we man
