When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306 “I’ll settle this myself,” Elliot said to the captain.

Then he grabbed Avery’s slender wrist and said, “I’m taking her with me.”

The captain simply nodded.

Once they were out of the station, Avery shook off Elliot’s slightly cold hand.

Elliot raised his brows as he stared at Avery’s defensive posture.

“Your mother wouldn’t come back to life even if you did kill Wanda, Avery. There are many ways to take revenge, yet you chose the most foolish one.”

“Who are you to judge me?”

Avery looked at Elliot’s familiar yet unrecognizable face and sneered.

“Are you judging me as the mighty President Elliot Foster, or because Wanda Tate is your future mother-in-law?!”

Every word she spoke was sharp and fractious.

An unreadable emotion flashed through Elliot’s eyes as he said, “Calm down, Avery.”

“I can’t calm down!” Avery lashed out, her voice breaking. “My mom’s lifeless face appears in front of me every time I close my eyes! What did she do wrong?! She never did anything wrong! How could someone kill her?!”

She broke down into wailing sobs.

All of Elliot’s reason vanished the moment he saw her frail body crumple and an expression of agony twist her face.

He pulled her into his embrace and wrapped his arms tightly around her.

Avery snapped when she smelled Elliot’s unique musky scent.

Even if the scent of his cologne was unchanged, he was no longer the same Elliot Foster!

“Let me go!” she cried as she pushed against his muscular chest.

“I won’t!” Elliot held Avery in his arms. His voice was hoarse when he said, “Calling Wanda my future mother-in-law is utter bullsh*t! I’ve only ever had one mother-in-law, and she was your mother.”

Avery could not escape his hold and so decided to stop struggling altogether.

She numbly contemplated his seemingly profound statement. Looking up at him with tear filled eyes, she coldly asked, “Now that Zoe’s pregnant with your child, will you order your

bodyguard to force her to get an abortion?”
