When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 949

Chapter 949
Layla nearly blurted out ‘Daddy’.
At that point, her arm was yanked and she was whisked away, for Hayden had dragged her to the other side because he did not want to meet Elliot.
Disappointment flashed through Elliot’s eyes when he saw his son pulling his daughter away. “You look like a famous person, sir,” When Daniel saw Elliot, he immediately came to strike up a conversation.
Elliot understood that the fat boy was a social butterfly.
“The famous person you mentioned is over there.” Elliot pointed in Eric’s direction and turned around to find Avery.
“But I’m not talking about Eric! I don’t fancy celebrities!” Daniel ran up with Elliot. “Are you Elliot Foster, the famous businessman ? The tax you pay annually is higher than the GDP of certain countries! I’m such a big fan!” Elliot was speechless.
“Can I get an autograph, Sir? I’d love to look up to you as my idol, learn from you in the future, and strive to be a great person like you!”
Elliot looked at Daniel’s sincere look and felt a twinge of melancholy in his heart. Daniel looked at him like he was the greatest thing since sliced bread, but his son avoided him like the plague.
It was ironic.
“Sorry, I didn’t bring a pen today.” Elliot declined his request. Elliot knew that Daniel was the best student in Hayden’s class, which signified that he was Hayden’s classmate and competitor.
As Hayden’s father, Elliot did not want to leave Daniel with the impression that he was a kind adult.
“But I brought one!” Daniel said, then he took out a pen and paper from his pocket and handed it to Elliot. “Could you please sign it for me? Just write down ‘To Daniel Lewin, I wish you the best in your studies, and may you have a bright future ahead!’ You can sign it off with youred name!”
Elliot’s expression was cold and his body was a little stiff because he did not want to sign his autograph for the kid.
Avery just so happened to come over and glanced at Elliot. “Why are you so hesitant? It’s not like you’re signing a contract to waive your autonomy. Is it that difficult forze you?” After saying that, she took the pen and paper from Daniel’s hand and said, “Could you repeat what it was you wanted him to write down? I’ll write it for you and get him to sign it.”
Daniel was so excited that he immediately repeated what he justf2 said.
After Avery wrote that string of words on the paper, she handed it over to Elliot, who shot her
a helpless look “Don’t you know that you shouldn’t be revealing your signature on a whim? Have you no sense of4e vigilance?” She signed her name on the paper barely seconds after he asked that question.
Was it really necessary to be so vigilant against a ten-year-old4e child? It was fine to have one’s guard up against a random child, but Daniel was Hayden’s classmate, and his teacher even said that Hayden did not interact much with other students and was only closer to Daniel.
Based on that circumstance, it really should not be that big of a deal to give Daniel an98 autograph. “You should limit yourself to spoiling your own children , Avery. Let the other parents spoil the other children.” Although Elliot was chastising her, he begrudgingly took the paper and pen from her and signed his name next to hers.
After handing the paper and pen to Daniel, he took her shoulders and walked away.
“The way you treated that kid was better than the way you treated me,” he said unhappily.
“Then why don’t you call me ‘auntie’ and I give you an autograph?” Avery teased him. “Don’t you think it’s weird to stare at kids rather than entertain the guests? You’ll be making a fool out of yourself in public.” He froze for a moment. “Entertaining the guests? How?”
“Your assistant is over there. Why don’t you go and ask him?” she suggested. Then, she looked at his palm on her shoulder, and asked, “Do you think I’d stop myself from arguing with you just because there are plenty of guests here today?”
