When His Eyes Opened (full chapter)

Chapter 686
In the master bedroom of the Starry River Villa, Avery was tidying up the baby’s clothes.
Tammy was sitting leisurely next to her and watching her busy away.
“Do you seriously plan to raise the baby yourself, Avery? That would be exhausting!”
Avery folded each piece of clothing one by one, and said gently, “That’s true. My mother was the one who helped me with the kids before. I’ve never really had to go through that kind of 46 exhaustion.”
“That’s right. Your mother’s gone, and I bet you wouldn’t feel secure leaving the baby with the nanny,” Tammy said. “You said Elliot would move in then. Is that for real?”
“That’s what he said.” Avery placed the clothes in the closet, then said, “I’ll let him be34 then.
“If that’s the case, then how would that be different from a normal married couple?!” Tammy exclaimed, then mocked, “Oh, I guess there is a difference. The difference is that he’s moving into your house and not the other way around.”
The mention of Elliot made Avery suddenly realize that he had not contacted her in a fewcd days.

“I think you’re incredible, Avery. You actually got all three of your kids to take your last name. “Tammy sighed. “If I have kids, they’ll have to take Jun’s last name. I might be an only daughter, but Jun’s situation is even more extreme. He’s the only son in three generations of the Hertz family… What can I say to that? My parents have nothing to say either!”
Avery’s heart sank, and she said softly, “Men should care quite a lot about their children taking their last name, 9e right?”
“You bet! There’s only one reason why Elliot would agree to let the baby take your last name, and that’s because he loves you. I can’t think of any other reason.”
“He said he doesn’t like his last23 name.”
“Why won’t he change it, then? His parents are gone. He could totally just change his last name if he hated it! Not doing that is proof that he doesn’t hate it that much,” Tammy hypothesized.
“He hasn’t come looking for me for the past few days. Could it be because of this?” Avery could not help but overthink
“It’s possible. He might say that he’s willing to let the baby take your last name, but he probably cares about it a lot. He just feels bad about fighting over it with you,” Tammy continued to theorize. “How about you just go ahead and let the baby take his last name?”
Avery nodded and said, “We’ll talk about it when the baby’s born. It’s still early now.”
“Haha! Give him a surprise, then,” Tammy said, then she stroked Avery’s long hair and asked, “Are you really willing to cut such beautiful hair?”
“It’d be more convenient.” Avery planned to cut her hair short. “Otherwise, postnatal recovery would be a hassle.”
“You should get a few more nannies to serve you!” Tammy said. “If I were you, I’d hire ten nannies and have them follow me around all day.” ..
Avery could not hold back her laughter.
“You could hire ten nannies right now, too.”
“I’m not pregnant yet, am I? I’ll really hire ten nannies when I get pregnant,” Tammy said seriously. “No wonder Elliot wants to move in. Things would be too hard for you if he didn’t get involved.”
“It’s not as bad as you make it sound.” Avery finished tidying up, then dragged Tammy downstairs. “Are you hungry? Let’s go out and eat!”
