When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 520

Chapter 520 Avery wanted to say something, but she was shocked by the glistening tears and undisguised vulnerability in Elliot’s eyes.

“Elliot…”

When she could not help but speak up, his name was what escaped her lips.

She wanted to ask him what was35 wrong.

However, Elliot wrapped his large hand around her arm and pulled her into his arms before she could say another word.

Avery supported her weight with her arms as her long lashese8 fluttered.

Their faces were only inches away from each other.

She could see the brokenness in his eyes even more clearly79 now.

“What’s wrong, Elliot?” she asked in an unintentionally gentle voice as her heart clenched tightly in her chest.

“I dreamt that you left me.” Elliot’s Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat and his voice was hoarse. “You ran off with another87 man.”

Avery felt a lump in her throat. She could not speak.

She would not tell him about the recurring nightmares she had back when he was dating Zoe. She always had dreams about the two of them getting7a married.

One would worry about gain and loss when one cared.

“It was a dream. It wasn’t real,” Avery said as her fingers tenderly wiped the tears from the corner of Elliot’s eyes.

“Don’t be with another man,” Elliot said. As if he did not hear her explanation , he clenched onto her hand tightly.

“I’m not with another man.”

Avery’s hand was being clenched so tightly that it began to hurt, but she did not retract it.

She knew that he would only squeeze harder if she did that.

“Swear it.” Worried that she might escape, Elliot wrapped his other arm tightly around her waist. “Swear that you will never be with another man for the rest of your life.”

After a moment of silence, Avery said, “You’re asking this of me, but what if you go off with

another woman?”

“I don’t want anybody else but you.” Elliot’s deep-set eyes gazed intensely at her as he persisted, “You can’t be with any other man but me.”

“I’ve never thought of being with any man at all, Elliot,” Avery responded clearly. “All I want is to raise my kids.”
