When His Eyes Opened

Chapter 130 At the restaurant, Laura laid out the completed dishes on the table. “Come with me for a second, Avery,” Laura called out to her daughter. Avery followed her mother and walked toward the bathroom.

“Did you and Elliot get into a fight?” Laura asked.

“Is it that obvious?” Avery responded, her face void of emotion.
