When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1637
"Wesley, what happened? How did Shea get pregnant?" Avery stood before Elliot and asked."Avery, it's me... I did it on purpose." Shea's eyes were red from all the crying and she stuttered, "I wanted a child... When I see your children, it just fills me with envy... so I..."Shea ran out of breath and choked on her voice.Wesley smoothed his hand down her back and continued the explanation, "I don't know where she learned this from but she poked a hole in the condom."Avery fell into silence at how bold Shea was. Shea knew that her body was unfit to bear children. Both Avery had given her a stern talk about this. She had agreed, but now, she had gone and done something like this."Where did you learn something like that?" Elliot clenched his fists and roared furiously, "Did you learn it from someone?!""No... No one taught me that... I saw it on my phone..." Shea held onto Wesley's arm as she looked timidly at Elliot. "I'm sorry, Big Brother... I didn't listen to you... but I rea

"Without regret... Good for you! You will die without regret, but what about me?!" The expression on Elliot's face only grew fiercer.Avery knew that she should be helping Shea, but she could not say a thing. Shea was only taking her own feelings into consideration and had completely neglected Elliot's feelings. He had worked so hard to protect her up till now and watching her kill herself would feel just as painful as getting stabbed in the heart."Big Brother, I think I can give birth. Look at me! I'm fine. I'm just like anyone else." Shea wanted to gamble. What she did not have the courage to confess was that she was not gambling because of how much she wanted a child, but rather because, Wesley's mother had asked for her to give birth to Wesley's child, and Shea had agreed to it. She had to fulfill her promise to others or her conscience would not allow her to rest."How are you just like anyone else? You are far from that!" Elliot never had the heart to be too harsh with her, b

"My mom told you to get pregnant! It was my mom who told you to poke a hole in the condom! My mom made you do this..." Wesley's expression darkened, and he turned to walk toward the door.He needed to find his mother. If it was indeed his mother who had pressured Shea into getting pregnant, he would risk alienating his family if it meant stopping Shea from making a mistake. "Wesley!" Shea hurried toward him and stood in his path. "Don't go to your mom... She has nothing to do with this. I want to have your baby... I want to repay—""I don't need repayment!" Wesley finally lost his temper. "If you married me to repay me, we are going to get a divorce right now!""No... I don't want a divorce..." Shea threw herself at him and wailed. "Wesley, you have your wishes and dreams, and so do I! My dream is to give you a baby, and if I can't fulfill it, I will regret it for the rest of my life..."Avery and Elliot exited the Brooks' mansion and got into the car.Avery stared at Elliot's f

"Ivy, look! It's Daddy!" Ruby carried Ivy out of the crib and turned the camera so that it faced her and Ivy. "Ivy, remember what your Daddy looks like! Daddy is a really brilliant man..."Elliot did not hear a word she said and focused on the child in her arms.Ivy was too young to know anything at all, but it was precisely her innocent face that broke the defenses he had put around his heart.He had never seen Layla as a baby, but he could distinctly see the resemblance Ivy had with Layla."Elliot, our daughter is a wonderful child. She came down with pneumonia when she was born because she was weak. For about a week, the doctors wouldn't even let me visit her, but they told me that she was wonderful and that she rarely cries, so she had a speedy recovery."Ruby sobbed. "She's really great... Elliot, I know that you can't come to see her, but can you video call me from time to time so that Ivy gets to see you?""No," Elliot rejected her request without a moment of hesitation.

Elliot had not hung up, which confirmed the fact that he cared deeply for Ivy. No one could ever sever the bond between families."Elliot, I didn't do that on purpose. I won't lose control like that again. I will take good care of Ivy and raise her well," Ruby promised."It's late. Get her to sleep!" Elliot said and hung up.He held onto his phone tightly as he was overwhelmed by his emotions.He had seen what Ivy looked like in her photos, but it was not as shocking as seeing her in the video. Her every move caught his attention, and it tugged at his heart. Had his senses not stopped him earlier, he would have traveled to Ylore to hold Ivy the moment she had burst out crying.Someone knocked on the door and he sobered.Chad pushed the door open and placed a cup of coffee on his desk. "Are you okay, Mr. Foster?"There had been a meeting earlier, and Elliot had left after answering the call. Had it not been something urgent, Elliot would not have left without saying a word."She

Elliot was impressed by his imagination. "What's in that brain of yours? Does Ben seem that desperate to you?"Chad scratched his head. "I've never met Ruby before, but my instinct tells me that she's a formidable enemy. She managed to find a way to create a child in secret after getting married to you. After that, she killed her own father. That's not what ordinary people do, so she's definitely someone who will do anything to get what she wants.'"Are you concerned that she will bribe Ben into going against me?""Not to go against you but to seduce you," Chad said. "She has never been discreet about wanting you for herself."Elliot took a sip of coffee. "Ben won't betray me.""True. I'm worrying over nothing. I just keep getting worried, probably because Ruby has your child right now. If only we can get custody of that child. I know it's difficult for you, though. You definitely don't want that kid."Before today, Elliot had thought and believed whole-heartedly that he would no

"I'm sorry, but I don't have parents who were that tolerant, nor have I ever been loved, so what Elliot's doing simply disgusts me. How is this any different from cheating?" Mike finished his drink and slammed the glass onto the table. "I can't do anything to him, but I can teach Ruby Gould a lesson!"Chad was stunned. "Do you have a death wish? Ylore is the territory of the Gould family—""Gary Gould is dead! Ylore is no longer their territory!" Mike mocked. "The reign of the Gould family is over!""Even so, you can't just go challenging Ruby! She's not alone right now. She has a newborn baby, so just let them settle what's between them on their own! If Mr. Foster really decides to take the baby back, he won't be able to keep it a secret from Avery. Avery will decide what to do on her own then!""F*ck this! Avery is always the one who gets hurt! Why?!" Mike stood abruptly from the chair.Worried that he would act out, Chad immediately pushed him back into the chair."Don't act r

Elliot relaxed slightly.The two went to lay down on the bed, and Avery turned off the lights. She kept her eyes wide open, unable to fall asleep.She knew that Elliot could not fall asleep as well.She had failed to convince Shea to give up earlier that day, and when Wesley walked her outside, he told her that Shea was behaving this way because of his mother.Avery felt even more helpless after hearing that.Though Wesley said that he would talk to his mother to get her to talk to Shea, Avery knew that it was unlikely that they would be able to convince Shea to get the abortion.She did not have the courage to tell Elliot about this. If she did, he might go after Wesley's mother, and the situation would only escalate further."Avery, what are you thinking about?" He noticed that her eyes were open through the faint moonlight.It unsettled him that she was lying in bed with her eyes wide open in silence."About all sorts of things... It's a mess in my head right now." She turn

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
