When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 312

Chapter 312 

Wesley’s question left Avery silent for a moment.

“Have you ever loved somebody, Wesley?” Avery asked quietly. “If you have, then you probably won’t have such a tough time understanding how I’m feeling.”

Wesley shook his head.

“You become possessive when you love someone. I want everything he owns, and I want to be the only one he sees. Most importantly, I want the relationship to have no reservations,” Avery said. Then she smiled and continued, “You’ve seen it yourself. He has Shea, and he’s willing to sell himself out for her treatment.”

“Before I knew about Shea’s mental disability, I saw her as a thorn in my side. After I discovered she wasn’t normal, the hostility I felt against her slowly began to fade away. Of course, I can carry out Shea’s second surgery, but I won’t do that.”

Wesley stared blankly at Avery.

“How do you think Elliot would react if he found out I could treat Shea?” Avery asked. She poured herself a glass of wine and continued, “How has he been treating Zoe? He’s so grateful to her that he’s willing to grant her every request… Wesley, I don’t want him thanking me for the sake of another woman.”

Avery let out a bitter laugh, then said, “I don’t care for that at all!”

Wesley took the bottle of wine away from Avery, then said, “I get it, Avery. If he can’t give you a perfect love, then you’d rather take nothing from him at all.” “That’s not all. Not only is he unable to reciprocate my love, but he is also incapable of being a father to my children!”

Avery had only had one glass of wine, but her face had turned scarlet, and the tone of her voice was filled with hurt and loathing.

“He didn’t want our children! Why is he allowing Zoe to keep her baby? Why isn’t he forcing her to get an abortion? Huh?!”

Wesley poured Avery a glass of juice, then said, “Don’t get upset, Avery.”

“Don’t be mad, Mommy!” Layla pulled on Avery’s arm. “Hayden and I don’t need Dirtbag Dad! All we need is Mommy.”

Avery caressed her daughter’s head, then said with smiling eyes, “I’m not mad. I’m just thinking out loud to wake myself up.”

When Wesley asked if she wanted to tell Elliot the truth, Shea’s innocent eyes instantly popped into Avery’s mind.

She had felt her heart soften.

She had said everything out loud for Wesley to hear, but it was also for herself.
