When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 3

“You’re still in school, right, Avery? Your studies will be affected if you get pregnant now,” said Henry’s wife.

Henry immediately agreed and said, “That’s right! Avery is still young. I doubt she’s willing to give up on her studies and raise a child at home!”

Rosalie knew what her son and daughter-in-law were thinking. This was also the reason why she was adamant about ensuring Elliot had an heir.

“Are you willing to have Elliot’s child, Avery?” Rosalie asked Avery. She did not hold back. “You should know that you and the child will inherit all of Elliot’s estate in the future. It’s a fortune large enough for you and the child to live a comfortable life.”

“I’ll do it,” Avery responded without hesitation.

She was willing to try anything to ensure Cole did not get a dime of Elliot’s money.

Besides, even if she was unwilling, the Foster family was powerful enough to force her into it.

Rosalie beamed from ear to ear after hearing Avery’s answer.

“That’s wonderful! I knew you were different from the other stupid women out there. They thought that they wouldn’t be able to benefit if Eliot was dying! Ha!”

Once tea was over, Avery walked out of the old mansion and prepared to return home.

Cole stopped her before she could leave.

The morning sun was shining, and the cicadas were chirping.

Avery felt sick to her stomach at the sight of Cole’s face.

“Please take the gifts home first, Mrs. Cooper,” Avery said.

Mrs. Cooper nodded, then walked off with the gifts.

Cole made sure no one was around, then said, “You’re breaking my heart, Avery! You never let me touch you the entire time we were dating, but now you’ve agreed to give birth to Uncle Elliot’s kid!”

“Giving him a child means getting his estate. Why wouldn’t I do it?” Avery snickered as she deliberately chose words that would hurt him.

Sure enough, Cole was agitated.
