When His Eyes Opened By Simple Silence

“It’s really good. It’s not too sweet, so I can have more,” Avery praised as she took another bite.

“You’re getting more amazing every day, Shea. What else do you want to learn?”

“I want to learn to drive, but Big Brother won’t let me.” Shea’ brows furrowed as she pleaded, “Could you help me beg Big Brother, Avery?”

Avery lifted her gaze and turned to Wesley.

“Is this why you two came over today?”

Wesley shook his head and said, “Shea came to give you the cake. I don’t agree with her learning to drive either.”

Avery turned to Shea and asked, “Why do you want to learn to drive, Shea? Aren’t you scared it might be dangerous?”

“All of you know how to drive, so I want to learn, too. It won’t be dangerous as long as I don’t drive anywhere with too many people around.” Shea gazed at Avery with a pitiful expression and pleaded with her eyes.

At that moment, Avery’s phone rang.

She picked it up and saw that it was Elliot calling.

She showed her phone screen to Shea, then said, “I’ll talk to him about it, but there’s nothing I can do if hege disagrees.”
