When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 472

Chapter 472 

Ben took a seat and listened closely to Elliot’s woes.

“It’s true that you were forced into being with Zoe, but that wasn’t because of Avery. It was for Shea’s sake,” Ben said bluntly. “Avery still has no idea about your relationship with Shea, so it’s understandable for her to be upset.”

Elliot’s deep set eyes were moved as he asked, “What do you think my relationship with Shea is?”

Ben chuckled lightly, then said, “Are you really asking me to25 guess?”

“I know you’d figure it out,” Elliot said confidently. “You know me well.”

“Are you upset that Avery doesn’t trust yougc enough?”

Ben had a feeling that, if he was right, Elliot’s relationship with Avery was about to worsen.

“Wouldn’t that explain the problem?” Elliot23 retorted.

Ben stroked his chin and said, “Not everybody is as calm and reasonable as you are. Besides, love is a completely different matter. You were jealous of Mike last year. You weren’t as calm as you are right now.”

The light in Elliot’s eyes dimmed, and his voice was feeble as he said, “This entire mess is my2a fault.”

“Of course not!” Ben said as he noticed Elliot’s dejected mood. “Shea’s your sister, right? I bet Avery never even thought of that. You’ve never specifically told her about it, so she could never confirm it herself. The more someone cares about something, the easier it is to think negatively about it.”

A pained expression flashed across Elliot’s35 face.

“Everyone has their secrets, Elliot. You’re not wrong, and neither is Avery. You’re just not meant for each other,” Ben consoled. “It might sound harsh, but I don’t think she’s worth the pain you’re going through. You’ve given up way too much for this. It’d be even harder to walk away if you don’t retreat in time.”

Elliot raised his brows, then said, “You want me to walk away while she’s pregnant with my child?”

Ben coughed, then said, “That’s not it. I just don’t think you should be putting in so much energy on her anymore. She’s a doctor and she knows how to take care of herself. Once the baby’s born, you should take the child and finally end things with her.”

Elliot fell into deep thought after hearing Ben’s suggestion.

Perhaps he was right.
