When His Eyes Opened Chapter 75
At breakfast the next morning, Avery and Elliot sat at the dining table in silence.She was having eggs and toast, while he was eating cereal."Thanks for getting my phone back last night," Avery said, shattering the silence between them."I'm sorry about my mother," Elliot said, finally expressing the apology that had been bothering him.Avery's cheeks flushed as she said, "You weren't the one who hit me. Why are you apologizing?""She shouldn't have slapped your face," Elliot said in a stiff voice. "If anyone touched my face, I would—"Before he could finish his sentence, Avery lifted her hand and gently caressed his cheek.His skin was surprisingly smooth and felt good against her fingers.Elliot's eyes were smoldering as his Adam's apple rolled in his throat, while his hand around his glass of milk trembled slightly."Okay, we're even," Avery said as she withdrew her hand and lowered her head to have a sip of her tea.Her heart was thumping wildly in her chest, and the sk

If Ben had mentioned this when he arrived at the house, Avery never would have gotten into his car."Mr. Schaffer, I know that all of you want to get on Elliot's good side—" Avery began to say."What do you mean? Haven't you ever gotten presents for your friends?" Ben interjected with a smile. "He always gets us something for our birthdays.""So, you don't get him gifts just because he told you not to? That just shows that you don't see him as a friend at all, but as a boss," Avery said. "I don't think you should drag me into this. If I accept your gifts on his behalf, it would be the same as me accepting gifts from him. If that's the case, I won't be able to take pleasure in reprimanding him when he makes me angry in the future."Ben was bewildered.Took pleasure in reprimanding him?How exactly did Avery treat Elliot every day?Ben began to suspect that his boss had a masochistic side to him."You should think of something else! I'm leaving," Avery said, then turned and began

Avery was distracted until a thought suddenly popped into her head."Did Elliot have anything to do with what happened to Cole Foster?" she asked.Ben was dumbfounded."Why do you think he did? Didn't Cole Foster get into trouble himself with his gambling? What does that have to do with Elliot?"Avery took a sip of water, then said, "He said he was the one who planned it. He even told me to get down on my knees and beg."Ben was at a loss for words.He picked up his own glass of water and took a sip, then said, "What are you two doing? What couple is always getting into fights like the two of you… It turns out you both do it on purpose. Do you both find joy in fighting with each other?!"Naturally, Avery refused to admit it."I don't have such a weird hobby. He's the one who's always provoking me.""Exactly! I'm sure he feels the same!""Which is exactly why we don't get along," Avery said, taking another sip of water."Disagreements are normal in a relationship. Some people

Avery was certain that they did not buy this necklace that morning.How was it now right in front of her?She walked out of her room and bumped into Elliot who was walking down the stairs.She tried to calm the nervousness inside of her and asked, "What's up with this necklace?"On the surface, it might look like this had nothing to do with him, but her instincts told her otherwise.She was sure that Ben told him about it.Elliot's expression was slightly uneasy as he answered, "Ben bought it."After a pause, he added, "I took a look at the price, and it was too cheap. Nobody wanted it so I brought it back to you."Avery was piecing together the words in her head trying to figure out a way to return the necklace to him, but his words made her mind go blank.He gave it to her because it was so cheap that nobody else wanted it.Great!If that was the case, then she would just accept it!"Let's have dinner together," Elliot called out.Avery wanted to refuse, but her body was

"You have the power to reject," Elliot said."Just eat your food!" Avery said. "Even if I decide to work with Charlie Tierney, it doesn't mean that I will fall in love with him. Why do you think that I'll give in to his advances? Do I seem that easy to you?"Elliot fell silent.Avery returned to her room after dinner, opened Charlie's email, and looked through its contents.A wave of uneasiness washed over her after she finished reading it.She did not know a thing about running a company, but she understood Charlie's proposal very well.If they went in the direction that he suggested, Tate Industries might just be able to come back from the dead.If it were not for the fact that Charlie was Chelsea Tierney's brother, she would have immediately agreed to work with him.Avery shut her laptop and lay down on her bed.She picked up her phone and saw a text from Tammy.[I slept with Jun Hertz! Ugh! I think I'm in love with him!]Avery did not expect things to turn out the way th

Jun nodded and said, "That's him! I met him when I was abroad. He's eight years older than I am. We were neighbors when he was in college. I was always following him around back then.""You kept in touch with him despite the huge age gap?" Tammy asked."Yes! I always go to him when I'm troubled," Jun answered.Tammy glanced at his face and teased, "What kind of troubles could a young man like you possibly have?""I want to start my own business, but my family is against it. He has a successful career. Even my dad admires him, so I need him to help me convince him."Tammy was suddenly filled with excitement."What's his name? I'm sure I've heard of him before if he's a successful businessman.""You probably have heard of him," Jun said as he took a sip of water. "It's Elliot Foster."Tammy's eyes widened in astonishment.She let go of Jun's hand and exclaimed, "He's married?! Oh my god! I have a friend who worships him… She'll be devastated if she finds out about this!""Your

Tammy was frantically sending signals at Avery with her eyes, but all Avery could think about was the relationship between Elliot and Jun."Miss Tate, the reason why I never told you that I knew Elliot was because I did not want to make you feel troubled," Jun began to explain himself with a smile. "You didn't exactly get along well before this. I didn't mean to hide it from you… I really do want to buy your father's company."Tammy moved her phone under the table and sent Avery a text.Tammy: [Don't listen to him, Avery! Elliot Foster is the one who wants to buy Tate Industries! It's Elliot Foster!]Avery glanced at her phone on the table and opened up the text.She read it and gazed coldly at Jun. "Did you tell Elliot about your interest in buying my company?" she asked. Jun's warm smile remained on his face as he said, "I did. I asked for his opinion and he told me it was worth a try. As I told you before, I've been looking for investment opportunities ever since I graduated

If he could turn back time, Elliot would not change a thing.He was not perfect.Avery's appearance in his life was what made him decide to try to critique, examine, and correct his own behavior.If it were not for their constant fights and misunderstandings, his feelings for her would not be this deeply rooted in his heart.…Tammy caught up to Avery outside of the restaurant and grabbed her arm."I can't believe you're married to Elliot Foster, Avery! This is massive news!" Tammy exclaimed as her head spun from the excitement of the evening's events.Avery, on the other hand, felt like there was a lump stuck in her throat."You saw it yourself. He's just messing around with me.""Jun said that he just wanted to help you but was too embarrassed about it," Tammy said.She did not think that things were that bad to warrant such a reaction from Avery."Let's head back inside, Avery! We should let him explain…"Avery shook off Tammy's grip. Her tone was determined and cool as

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
