When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 681

Chapter 681
Elliot knew that the unexpected calmness was because there was an even larger storm that was waiting for him!
Avery already had two children, but she still wanted to take custody of the third child away from him!
She did not want to give even one child to him!
She was 46 cruel!
“You’re not willing?” Avery did not want to give Elliot too much time to think. “If you’re not willing, then you can leave right now, Elliot. Don’t show up in front of me before the baby’s born.”
The resolution in her voice stabbed at Elliot’s 34 heart.
When he had asked her what she wanted before, there was another thing he almost said at the
end.
He almost told her, “I’ll give you anything as long as I havecd it.”
“Do you think the baby would suffer with me?” he asked with reddened eyes.
“I just want my child to be by my side.” In comparison with Elliot, Avery’s tone was a lot calmer. “We all suffer in life. That’s not what’s scary. What’s scary is for there to be noge love.”
“How could you be so sure I can’t give the child love?” Elliot retorted.
“I don’t want to argue about this with you,” Avery said, then pestered once again, “Give me your answer. If you can’t answer me, then I’ll take it that you23 disagree.”
“Of course I disagree,” Elliot said as his hot breath gushed onto Avery’s cheeks. “Even so, what can I do? There are plenty of things I can’t change.”
“You don’t need to suffer. If the baby is willing to acknowledge you as his father, then I won’t get in the way,” Avery said.
Elliot let out a cold chuckle and said, “You know that’s impossible.”
Hayden hated him to the core. If Hayden refused to acknowledge him, then he would convince the other two children to do the same.
“Do you need the baby to call you ‘Dad’ for you to carry out your fatherly duties?” Avery mocked. “A lot of times, there’s no such thing as a so-called dead end. If the road is cut off, can’t you just build a new bridge?”
Her words stunned Elliot.
In the living room, Mike glanced at the time once they finished their tea.
“It’s been an hour. What are they talking about? Are they still not done yet?”
Jun yawned, then said, “It’s quiet. I wonder if they’re asleep.”
Tammy and Mike simultaneously shot a cold glare at him.
“Aren’t you guys tired? I’m beat…” Jun got up from the couch and stood Tammy up. “Let’s go home, dear. You can just ask Avery in private if you want to get the scoop. There’s no need to wait around here.”
Once they left, Eric also got up.
“I’ll take you!” Mike said as he stood up.
“It’s fine. You should go check on the kids.”
“Okay. Thanks a lot for everything, Eric,” Mike said gratefully.
“It was all Layla’s doing.”
“Don’t argue with me. Everyone is well aware of the situation.” Mike patted Eric on the shoulder and said, “Come over more often if you have time.”
“Sure.”
Once Eric left, Mike went upstairs.
He first walked over to the master bedroom and tried to eavesdrop through the door.
In the end, he didn’t hear a thing! It was as if Elliot and Avery really were asleep.
In the master bedroom, Avery was scrolling through her phone after a shower. The sounds of water splashing coming from the bathroom was Elliot taking a shower inside.
He gave up custody of the baby, and was given permission to stay the night.
Avery replied to Mike and Tammy’s text messages. She was about to check the news when the bathroom door burst open, and Elliot stormed over to her with a towel wrapped around his waist.
A dangerous aura and hot steam filled the air.
Avery put down her phone, then nervously warned him, “I’m in my third trimester. I can’t sleep with you.”
