“What does this have to do with Eric?” Avery picked up a chopstick for Elliot, and said, “Didn’t you see Eric’s behavior just now? Eric doesn’t have that kind of thought for Layla. It’s Layla’s problem.”
“What’s wrong with Layla?” Elliot was eager to protect Layla, “She is just a blank sheet of paper, and we need to guide her well.”
“You can’t guide her always.” Avery had patiently communicated with Layla before.
If Layla was a child, Avery might be able to guide her. But she was 25 years old, and she would no longer follow other people’s arrangements and guidance casually.
Everyone had the right to choose their own life.
“I’ll have a good talk with Layla tonight.” Elliot vowed.
“Okay! Don’t finish talking, Layla will come to me to complain.” Avery teased.
Elliot: “Don’t you believe me?”
Avery: “I just know Layla too well.”
Eric listened to what they said, and dared not interrupt. He lowered his head and ate food in silence.
“Eric, I will tell you clearly today,” Elliot suddenly looked at Eric, and said coldly, “I will never let Layla marry you. If you want to marry Layla, do it in your next life!” After a pause, he said again, “It won’t work in the next life either!”
Eric: “I don’t think I asked Layla to marry me?”
Avery blushed in embarrassment: “Honey, let’s stop this matter. You want to guide Layla, so you should find an opportunity to talk to her. Eric didn’t do anything wrong, so don’t target him.”
Elliot didn’t refute, but he couldn’t eat either.
Avery understood his mood.
Elliot had always held Layla as a treasure in his palm. When Layla was a child, he was afraid that she would stumble, and wished to install a surveillance camera on Layla and wished to follow her all day and guard her 24 hours a day.
All the while, Layla listened to them both very well.
The choice of high school and university, Layla followed Elliot’s arrangement.
And the postgraduate study also obeyed Elliot’s arrangement.
In the past few years, their family atmosphere had been very harmonious and happy.
Unexpectedly, the daughter showed her strong consciousness in choosing a mate.
Avery respected Layla and understood Elliot’s distress.
“Husband, you’d better be careful! We still have two sons who haven’t found a partner. Hayden shouldn’t worry about it, but Robert will give you a surprise when the time comes.” Avery said this because she is a parent. The desire for children was idealized.
And things like fate were sometimes unreasonable.
“Avery, you remind me of my parents.” Eric said awkwardly, “After my accident, they started urging me to have a baby.”
Avery: “Haha, I know! Although I really want Hayden and Layla to have a family, I hope they can find someone they like and start a family. Otherwise, it’s better to be single after getting married.”
Eric: “Yes.”
A thought flashed through Elliot’s mind: “If I remember correctly, you had hemiplegia before, right? Are you still fertile?”
Eric: “…”
Avery: “This is his privacy, it’s too rude for you to ask directly like this.”
Elliot raised his eyebrows and looked at Eric provocatively.
