Chapter 810
When His Eyes Opened
Chapter 810 Avery did not understand what Mike was trying to say.
âWhat will happen to me when he comes?â
Mike said, âWhat do you think? We donât have any extra rooms in our house. The room that you
brought Tammy to is so small. Tammy might still be able to stay in it, how could Elliot take it?â
Avery said, âIf itâs fine with Tammy, why canât he stay? If he thinks that the living conditions here are not
great, he can book a five-star hotel outside.â
Mike raised his brows and looked at her.
Avery turned sheepish.
âWhat are you looking at me for! Weâll see about it when he comes. Maybe he wonât stay with us.
Maybe heâll head to the hotel once he lands.â
Mike responded lightly, âOh,â before asking, âHow long is he here for?â
âHe didnât say. Is this important? He wonât be here for the rest of his life.â
âIâm only casually asking, why are you so worked up?â Mike continued to measure her up with a
meaningful gaze.
âWhy did he suddenly decide to come over? Why did he not come yesterday! Donât tell me you invited
him over!â
Averyâs face flushed red. It spread to her ears.
âIf youâre going to say any more on this, youâll stay in the small room in the future. Iâll use your room to
host guests,â Avery threatened.
Mike harrumphed coldly, âI am willing to give my room to others, but Iâm not sure if Elliot would be
willing to stay in it! After all, heâs a clean freak.â
Averyâs temples hurt. She turned around and headed to the dining hall. She planned to clear the
dishes.Mike chased after her.
âIâll do it. Go comfort Big H. He heard that Elliot is coming. I donât think heâs too happy about it!â
Avery immediately headed to Haydenâs room once she heard what Mike said.
Hayden was indeed unhappy. It was a mood-killer when he heard that Elliot was suddenly coming. He
did not want to see Elliot. He did not want to be friendly to him or talk to him.
Avery entered and walked over to Hayden.
âHayden, I know that you canât accept him.â Avery has never forced Hayden to acknowledge Elliot as
his father.
âI only invited him over because Shea has passed away. He is in much more pain than us. This year,
Shea canât spend the New Year with him. His mother is gone too. He has fought with his brotherâs
familyâ¦â
âMommy, we did not cause his misery.â Hayden has never so rudely interrupted Averyâs words before,
but he could not accept how Avery took pity on Elliot.
âShea died because she tried to rescue Robert,â Avery said sternly, âHayden, I donât care how much
you hate Elliot. This is something that you canât ignore.â
âI have never forgotten about Shea,â Hayden suddenly said agitatedly, âI have also never forgotten
about how Elliot almost strangled me to death!â
Avery suddenly lost her composure. She hugged Hayden, choked up, said, âIâm sorry, Hayden. I was
the one that invited him. He has boarded the plane.â
âI never said to not let him come.â Hayden let go of Avery.
âLayla likes him a lot. In the future, Robert would like him a lot too. Only I wouldnât like him.â
âHmm, I donât ask of you to like him. Once he is here, just treat him as if he was air. If you . think he is
in the way, you can stay in your room, or you can ask Uncle Mike to take you out.â
âMommy, donât worry about me. I am no longer a kid.â Hayden did not like how Avery had to tiptoe
around him.
âHayden, I canât stop worrying. Whether itâs you, Layla, or Robert, you are all my precious babies.â
Haydenâs eyes turned sore. He choked up a little. âMommy, do you like him a lot? You give birth to
three of his children. You must like him a lot, right!â
If Hayden was an outsider, Avery would have denied it.
âIâm not God. I canât control my feelings. If back then he strangled you to death, I would have killed him
to avenge you. No matter how much I like him, I will always place the three of you before him.â
Since the children were much weaker than Elliot, she needed to protect them, so she would stand with
the kids.
Hayden smiled a little at her answer.
âMommy, Iâm fine.â
âIn Aryadelle, during the New Year, no matter how unhappy things got, people would try to control their
anger. Thatâs because the New Year is the start of a new beginning. If one was calm during the New
Year, the year ahead would be smooth sailing,â Avery explained to Hayden, âI hope that youâre healthy
and you do well in your studies.â Hayden nodded obediently.
