When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence

Chapter 106 Elliot was stopped by the Tierney family’s bodyguards on his way to the south side of the villa.

“You can’t go in there, Mr. Foster.”

“Let me in!” Elliot roared with a savage fury. “My wife’s inside!”

“Do you mean Miss Tate?” asked the bodyguard, then added, “She just went hiking with Mr. Tierney.”

Elliot pursed his lips as his eyes turned into glacial orbs of ice colder than the abyss.

The bodyguard pointed in the direction of a hill not too far away and said, “They went that way, but it’s already dark out, and it’s a pretty steep walk. If you are unfamiliar with the path, I suggest you wait for them inside. I’m sure they’ll be back soon.”

Elliot clenched his fists, then he stormed up the hill.

In the living room in the south wing of the villa, after listening to Charlie’s father’s two-hour history lesson on the establishment of his company and his thoughts on Tate Industries, Avery was desperate to escape.

“Thank you for taking the time out to talk to me, Mr. Tierney. Since it’s your birthday today, I’ ll speak to Charlie another time about business.”

If Charlie’s father were not the star of the night, she probably would not have been able to sit through his rambling for much longer.

Charlie glanced at his watch, then said to his father, “Get some rest, Dad. Avery and I are going to get something to eat.”
