When His Eyes Opened

After listening to Mike, Elliot turned and left.

Once Elliot’s car sped off, Mike finally let out a heavy sigh.

Shea arrived at Avery’s house the next morning accompanied by Mrs. Scarlet.

The children were in the middle of breakfast when they saw Shea walk in. Their eyes flickered, but they did not say anything, nor did they walk out of the dining room.

Mike flashed a smile at Shea and asked, “What brings you here this early?”

He thought that Elliot was the one who arrived!

“Big Brother will come over to apologize later,” Shea said as her cheeks turned pink. “I couldn’t wait, so I came myself first.”

Mike chuckled , then said, “This has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to apologize, nor do you need to feel bad.”
