When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 465

Chapter 465 “Why are you mentioning this now?” Elliot didn’t want to fight, because there was something else between them; and that was their child.

“Why not? Just because we don’t talk about it, doesn’t mean it’s in the past!” Avery knew it was bad to be hung up on the past, but she also knew that there were things that had to be clarified, or they would all turn into knives that come back to haunt them.

Elliot pulled her into his arms and said in a gentle voice, “weren’t you going to sleep? Did I wake you?”

Her face came into contact with the burning skin on his chest before she could react and she panicked, so she shoved him away and lied back down with her back facing25 him.

Elliot stared at her slim frame dazedly as his heart ached. Avery had not told him what his mother had said to her before she died, and naturally, he did not have the courage to ask about

it.

If she was this frustrated when he didn’t ask about it, she would only be angrier if he confrontedoc her.

He pulled up the blanket and covered her body with it, before lying down next to her once again.

23…

At six in the evening, Mike and Chad came home with the children. When they opened the door to the mansion, they saw Avery watching television from the couch.

“Avery, I brought you dinner.” Mike unpacked the food in front of her. “There are some of your favorite fruits, some soup and appetizers… Tryza them.”

Avery took one glance at the food and her stomach instantly started rumbling.

“Mom! Why didn’t you tell Hayden and I that you have a little baby in your belly?” Layla went to sit down next to Avery and scowled in a slightly frustrated expression. “Why do you want another baby, when we are being good? I’m35 upset!” Avery felt extremely awkward at the question. “I’m sorry, Layla, I should have told you and your brother. It’s my fault and I will reflect upon it.”

“Oh… An apology is good enough, you don’t have to reflect on it.” Layla reached out to touch Avery’s on her belly. “Huh? Where’s the baby? Why isn’t there anything?”

Avery had gone through most of the day without eating and her belly shrunk due to hunger.

Both Chad and Mike stared intently at her belly and started to have different thoughts.
