When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 That evening there was a family dinner at the old Foster mansion. “How did your date with Jenny Gibson of Gibson Group go?” asked Rosalie, turning to Cole.

Cole looked dejected and did not lift his head.

“Your grandmother just asked you a question, Cole!” Olivia snapped as she threw a glare at her son. “Didn’t you say the other day that you’ve been texting her lately?”

“Things were going fine until a little girl showed up out of nowhere,” Cole explained with a frown on his face. “She grabbed my shirt and called me daddy. She was screaming and crying the whole time. It was embarrassing! Jenny misunderstood and ended up blocking me. I haven’ t been able to call her since.”

Henry and Olivia’s faces turned glum.

They were depending on their son to marry into money to secure their place in high society.

After all, Elliot would never give them a penny no matter how powerful and wealthy he was.

Unfortunately, their plans for Cole to snag the Gibson family’s eldest daughter were ruined by a four-year-old little girl!

“How did something that absurd happen?” Olivia huffed angrily. “Could the child have done it on purpose?”

“I don’t think so,” Cold replied. “She couldn’t find her father, so she probably only mistook me for him out of fear.”

The little girl’s adorable face popped into Cole’s mind once again, and he felt there was something strangely familiar about her.

“Now that I think about it, the kid really reminded me of someone…” he mused.

When it finally hit him, he exclaimed, “I got it! She looked like Avery Tate! The more I think about it, the more alike they look!”

The moment Henry heard Avery’s name, he let out a cough as a warning to Cole.

It was an unspoken rule to never mention Avery Tate in front of Elliot.

It was a slip of the tongue on Cole’s part.

“I’m sorry, Uncle Elliot. I didn’t mean to, but that little girl really was the spitting image of Avery-” Cole explained to Elliot.

“That’s enough from you!” Henry roared. “Finish your food! We’re going to the Gibsons’ to explain things later!”

Cole admitted defeat and continued eating his food in silence.

On the other side of town, Avery’s family of four were having dinner at home.

After a short while, the children put down their forks and rushed into their room.
