Chapter 911
When His Eyes Opened
"Uncle Eric, I wanted to call Aunt Tammy." Layla passed Averyâs phone to Eric.
"Call her for me." Eric smiled.
"I have Aunt Tammyâs contact, put your motherâs phone back."
"What if she doesnât answer your call? She is the closest to Mommy.If we call her using Mommyâs
phone, she will surely answer." Layla insisted.
She even unlocked Averyâs phone herself.
Eric gave in to her.He accepted Averyâs phone from Layla.
Before he opened her contacts, he noticed a red dot on her message icon.He wanted to open it to have
a look, but reason told him that it was wrong to look at other peopleâs private messages without their
permission.He found Tammyâs number in her contacts and dialed.He put the call in loudspeaker mode.
Soon, Tammy picked up.
"Aunt Tammy! Itâs me!"
Laylaâs tone was crisp and sweet.
"Mommy is asleep.I just wanted to know if youâre doing fine?"
When Tammy heard Laylaâs concerns, her eyes reddened immediately.
"Layla, I didnât love you for nothing."
"Hmm! I wanted to go with Mommy, but I didnât want to see Uncle Jun! He has crossed the line.He
made you sad.He is a bad person!"
On the other end of the line, Jun was almost in tears, "Layla, babe.Iâm very sad to hear you say that.I
have reconciled with your Aunt Tammy."
Layla was a little stunned.
Tammy chuckled.
"Layla, Iâm all good with Uncle Jun.Although there are some places where he was wrong, I made
mistakes too."
"Oh." Layla quickly adjusted her mood.
She smiled.
"Aunt Tammy, as long as youâre happy! If Uncle Jun bullies you again, tell me! Iâll call him and scold
him!"
"Okay."
After the call, Layla looked at the phone.She tapped on the message icon.
When she saw the name Elliot Foster, she immediately clicked to see the chat.
Eric smiled and said, "Layla, do you always secretly play with your motherâs phone like that?
"Hehe, I only look at it occasionally! I just want to see if she is chatting with Daddy." Layla smiled
widely.
"She is chatting with Daddy again.Although I donât know what they are talking about, at least they are
still talking with each other.That means they havenât cut ties."
Layla entered the bedroom and secretly placed Averyâs phonele back.
When Avery woke up, it was dark outside.She sat up in alarm and picked up her phone to look at the
time.She slapped her forehead! She slept until seven in the evening.She quickly got off the bed and
went to the living area.
The children were playing in the living area.
Sounds were coming from the dining hall.
"Mommy, Uncle Eric is having dinner with us.He bought Hayden and me a lot of presents today."
Layla pointed at the shopping bags.
Avery nodded and headed to the dining hall.
Mike was chatting with Elliot.
"Avery, youâre up! Go have your meal.The foodâs probably cold.Iâll go reheat it."
Mrs.Cooper saw her and immediately went to reheat the food.
Avery sat down by the dining table.She said to Eric, "He didnât force you to drink right?"
Eric shook his head.
"Heâs drinking.Iâm having fruit juice."
"Avery, what happened to the most basic trust between us?" Mike said in dissatisfaction.
"If I were to force him to drink, Layla would be the first one to say no to it." Avery was relieved.
"Right, about you and Elliot, I heard what Ben said." Mike looked at Avery pitifully.
"Donât be too sad.Out with the old and in with the new.Elliot is not the only man on this earthâ¦"
"What are you talking about?" Avery furrowed her brows.
Her heart constricted tightly.
Mike said, "Ben said that Elliot has thought about it.He feels that you two are incompatible, so he has
decided to not be hung up on you anymore."
