When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1769
Layla had told him that she intended to be away for a month and a half. He had told her the max she could be away for was half a month.He had not yelled at her. He had only informed her of how long he was comfortable letting her out of his sight. Layla had cried endlessly and thrown many tantrums.After sending Shea back to the Brooks, Elliot drove home.When he reached home, the snow had stopped. The courtyard was covered in a layer of white, adding some brightness to the night.Avery liked building snowmen. If she was here, she would surely pull him out to the courtyard to build snowmen.This thought suddenly came to him, unbidden. Elliot could not help but furrow his brows.Entering the mansion, he stood by the door to change his shoes.Mrs. Cooper walked over and said, "Master Elliot, Layla has left. Eric came to pick her up an hour ago.""Did the bodyguard go with her?""Yes," Mrs. Cooper said. "I'm worried that if Layla is allowed to be away for so long, she will just g

Avery had indeed not thought about this problem. She studied for a doctoral degree so that she could go to school together with Hayden.For the past two years, she had been living a very fulfilling life. It was also very tiring, so she was going to rest for a while next."Avery, you're the only person I know who took two years to graduate! I really envy you!" Someone raised their glass to her. She immediately raised her glass and clinked it to theirs."I wish all of you a smooth graduation too.""We'll be needing your luck!"…Al fresco dining in the summer night in the light breeze made everyone rather drunk after they had a few glasses of wine. At ten at night, Mike drove over to pick Avery up. Her alcohol tolerance was bad. She only had half a bottle before she started talking drunk."Mike… is it daytime already? Today, I… have an important matter…" Avery looked up and squinted her eyes. She could not even tell what day or year it was, whether it was day or night."Your su

However, seeing how she was still in a good state, Hayden was not that worried.After Hayden returned to his room, Mike watched Avery as she finished her drink, and he helped her to her room. Once, she was in he left her in peace. After Avery drank the sobering concoction, her stomach felt much better.She lay in bed and could not move. It was as if her body was falling apart. Forget about it. She was not going to take a shower that night. She would do it the next day.At that though, she took off her shoes and put her legs on the bed.The light on the nightstand was still on. She wanted to switch it off, but her body felt like jelly. She had no strength at all. She felt as if she could sleep the very next second.She was just going to sleep that way! After thinking about that, she groggily fell asleep.In the middle of the night, she woke up with the urge to pee. She immediately got out of bed and headed to the washroom.A moment later, she returned to the bed once more. The

What Avery said made Mike's hand tremble a little. The phone in his hands fell to the floor with a clang."Ah… f*ck!" Mike immediately picked his phone up. It was not a surprise that he was killed off in his game.Throwing his phone aside, he looked at Avery once more."Are you really planning to return to Aryadelle? Why did you suddenly have this idea? I want to know what you're thinking."Mike was stunned because, for the past two years, her friends in Aryadelle had often been asking her to head back to Aryadelle, but not once had she ever wavered from her decision to not return.However, at that moment, she suddenly wanted to return to Aryadelle. It was most likely not only because she had graduated."Every year, I could only see Layla during winter and summer breaks. Robert, on the other hand… I haven't seen him for almost three years. The video calls don't count," Avery choked up a little. "If I return to Aryadelle, I would sure be able to see Robert.""Oh, so you miss your

Mike raised his eyebrow. "What do you think?""It's good that he didn't." Avery finished eating the sandwich. She took a piece of tissue to wipe her mouth. "The thing about me saying I want to head back to Aryadelle, don't tell others yet. I haven't decided!""Okay, then take your time. It's not in a rush. Even if you're not heading back to Aryadelle now, Layla is coming to see you in a few days." Mike got up from the sofa with his phone in his hand. "I'll make a move first.""Hmm."After Mike left, Avery sat on the sofa and slowly drank her milk. She felt that her brain was overheating a little. If she really wanted to head back to Aryadelle, she needed to calm down first before doing anything.After breakfast, she returned to her bedroom. She lay down in bed and took her phone.The top news of the day was Netimail shutting down.Everyone was showing off the picture of their first and last email in their Netimail online. Avery found it quite interesting, so she looked at many o

Lilith was amused by the term supermodel."Avery, thank you for giving me the title of a supermodel. To be honest, I don't really want to return to Aryadelle. You and Hayden are here. I particularly don't want to leave the both of you.""Hayden and I may not stay here forever. Just return first and see how the environment for your work in the country is. Didn't you say you won't stop working even if you were to marry Ben?" Avery said."Hmm. My agent, Jaz, can't go to Aryadelle with me. She introduced me to her friend there, so I'll first go and have a try. Jaz said that she'll save a spot for me in the company here. If my work in Aryadelle isn't smooth sailing, she would welcome me back at any time. The people around me are super nice to me. I'm really very touched… All of this is because you and Hayden supported me through everything."Tears welled up in Lilith's eyes as she was moved."Lilith, all of the success that you've gotten are the results of your effort. The person that

"Early retirement or one week leave. You pick." It was not that Elliot did not approve of Ben taking a leave. He only felt that half a month was too long.Their current workload was heavy. Ben was not thinking about helping to offload some pressure, but instead he was thinking of going off to pursue his woman. How could Elliot feel good about that?Not to mention that Lilith was his sister. Ever since he had divorced Avery, Lilith had firmly chosen to stand on Avery's side. She no longer acknowledged him as her brother.Ben pursed his lips. He found it hard to choose.Sometimes, he had thought of retiring early. After all, he had worked almost all his life. The wealth he had now could support his early retirement."Why don't…" Ben was about to mention early retirement to him."Don't even think about early retirement." Elliot never expected that Ben would have thoughts of retiring early. "One week's leave. You can't have a day more."Ben breathed heavily. "Why are you going back

At Bridgedale, Avery and Adrian sent Lilith to the airport. After Lilith passed through security, they came out of the airport."Adrian, I'm afraid that Lilith won't return that quickly. Do you want to move over to my place to stay?" Avery asked, "I have many empty rooms and I'm usually home alone."Adrian shook his head. "I don't want to move around. I can look after myself.""Adrian, I don't think you need to be cared for. It's more like someone you could talk to," Avery explained, "I know now that not only do you know how to do chores, but you can also cook. You don't need a nanny anymore.""Lilith hired a teacher for me, he is staying in the same neighborhood. My teacher is quite old. He has a lot of time every day, so he often comes to look for me," Adrian's eyes sparkled when he said that. "I like learning how to draw from him.""Hmm. Then are you learning with him today?""We have agreed to meet in the afternoon.""Okay, then let's have lunch together and I'll send you ba

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
