Chapter 483
When His Eyes Opened
Chapter 483 The moment Haydenâs eyes met Elliotâs, he felt the blood in his body freeze!
His mother had told him to stay far away from him.
Hayden immediately walked off.
âHayden Tate!â Elliot called out when he saw Hayden avoid him like the25 plague.
Haydenâs footsteps slowed down, but he did not stop walking.
Elliot had to quicken his steps and run aftergc him.
He blocked Haydenâs path, then demanded, âWhat are you doing here alone? Whereâs Shea?â
âStay away from me!â Hayden did not want to speak to him, nor did he want to see his face.â Didnât you
owe me a wish? I want you to grant it right now. Stay away from me! Never come close to me ever23
again!â
A peculiar sense of frustration surged inside of Elliot as he watched the conflicted expression on
Haydenâs face.
He did not want his relationship with Averyâs son to be thisza horrible!
Breaking ties with Hayden would have a severe impact on his own relationship with Avery.
If he did not mess up and almost strangled Hayden to death back then, Avery would not forbid him from
entering her35 home.
âIâd like to apologize,â Elliot said as his Adamâs apple bobbed in his throat. âIâm sorry.â
Hearing his apology made Hayden think he was hearing things.
How was it possible for someone as prideful as Elliot to admit he was wrong?
âI donât need your apology!â Hayden said, not giving Elliot any room left for his dignity.
Hayden then picked up his backpack and stormed towards the park entrance.
Elliot was concerned for his safety, so he ran after him and said, âIâll take you home.â
âI donât want you to!â Hayden refused loudly.
Elliot swiftly picked him up and said, âIâm taking you home! Thereâs no use in throwing a tantrum! Iâll leave
once I send you home!â
Over at Tate Industries, Mike pushed open the doors to Averyâs office, then yanked her out from behind
her desk without a word.
âWhatâs wrong?â Avery asked as her eyebrows twitched.
âThereâs trouble!â Mike said with a heavy face. âI wouldnât have found out that Big H did something this
big behind our backs if I hadnât read the news! He competed in the National Youth Programming
Championships! He won, but someoneâs causing trouble.â
Averyâs brows furrowed tightly as she asked, âWhat kind of trouble? Is Hayden okay? Where is he right
now?â
âElliot Foster sent him home!â
âWhat does this have to do with Elliot?!â
âShea was the one who took Hayden to the competition,â Mike said in disbelief as he led Avery into the
elevator. âShe was the one who got him straight into the finals! The other participants felt suspicious after
the competition and caused a ruckus.â
Avery was stunned.
âHow did Shea pull that off?â
âWhatâs even scarier is that she hid it from Elliot, too. Sheâs definitely not just an idiot now!â Mike said
with certainty. âWith her current mental abilities, she shouldnât have any trouble taking care of herself at
all.â
Avery felt relieved, but still asked with concern, âIs Hayden okay?â
âHe should be alright, but he hates Elliot to the core⦠Theyâre together right now⦠I donât want to
imagine what thatâs like,â Mike said as he shrugged.
Cold sweat began to form on Averyâs back.
When Hayden was sent back to the Starry River Villa, he immediately locked himself in his room.
Elliot sat in the living room and waited for Avery to come home.
He was surrounded by pin drop silence, but he could not calm his chaotic mood.
He had always thought that Hayden looked a little like him.
However, he found out today that Haydenâs looks were not the only thing that resembled him, but his
temper was also as bad as his!
Elliot could not stop himself from overthinking. Did Avery really adopt this strange, temperamental boy?
Was Hayden really not his son?!
