Layla: “I know Dad won’t agree! That’s why I won’t tell Dad!”
Avery sat down next to Layla, and said patiently: “If your father doesn’t agree, it’s useless if mommy agrees!”
“Mom, who doesn’t know that Dad listens to you the most. Wouldn’t it be good for you to help me convince him?” Layla immediately acted like a baby when she said this, “Mom, you love me the most, and you will definitely help me, right?”
Avery pulled her arm out of her daughter’s hand and said solemnly: “Layla, your father doesn’t listen to me about everything. He can listen to me unconditionally for small things, but when it comes to big things, we are all together and will discuss. Your father has your father’s principles and bottom line, such as your marriage, he has his own ideas, and he will not follow other people’s opinions casually.”
After hearing what her mother said, Layla felt a little desperate.
“Aren’t Auntie Gwen and Uncle Ben also ten years apart? Why didn’t Dad stop them from getting married? I remember when they got married, Dad was very happy!” Layla frowned slightly, reasoning with her mother.
Avery calmly said: “Although your Auntie Gwen is your father’s biological sister, when the two of them met, your Auntie Gwen was already an adult. It is impossible for your father to ask her for his own daughter. Besides, you Uncle Ben and your father are very good friends, and your father has no reason to separate them when your auntie Gwen is willing.”
“So just because father and uncle Ben are good friends, it’s fine. If Eric is good friends with him, so he won’t care, will he?”
“Of course not. Mom said that your father’s requirements for you and your auntie Gwen are definitely different. Even if your father and Eric are good friends, and your father can’t possibly agree to marry him.” Avery said, “Layla, take your auntie’s matter as an example, do you think the two of them are happy?”
“Aren’t they happy? I look at them both are very good!” Layla thought about it, “Every time I see them, I can see that they have a good relationship. Uncle Ben is always smiling, and he especially loves Auntie Gwen.”
“Yes, you are right. Ben really dotes on your auntie very much. But we can also give you this kind of favor. There are some things that your Auntie Gwen will not bring to the table to tell your juniors.” Avery spoke very slowly, wanting her daughter to understand the pros and cons.
“Mom, what you’re saying is that Uncle Ben is getting old, so he’s not good at that?” Layla guessed.
“This is only one aspect. The age gap between two people is too big, and the generation gap will also be huge. This gap will be exposed little by little in future life. Ben and your auntie Gwen can get to the present, and both of them sacrificed a lot. Ben basically listens to your auntie in everything, and your auntie actually tolerates a lot.” Avery explained patiently.
“Mom, what you said made me feel a little scared.” Layla hadn’t thought about it that much before, “Auntie Gwen and Uncle Ben look so affectionate… Aren’t you and Dad also many years apart? Don’t you also…”
“Have you forgotten the conflict between me and your father when you were young? It has been for many years.” Avery’s eyes were soft and her tone was calm, “Mom and Dad hope that your life will not be that type. There are so many twists and turns. There will definitely be a very good man who is suitable for you. You might as well choose more and don’t limit yourself to the past thinking.”
Layla: “Mom, I know. I will think about it again.”
“Yeah! Let’s go downstairs to eat first! Your father must be worried to death.” Avery took her daughter’s hand and led her to the door.
“Mom, in fact, I have always known that you and Dad dote on me very much. I will not do anything to make you sad.” Layla calmed down, “Even if I insist on marrying Eric, I will definitely find a way to make you The reason for accepting.”
“Mom will not object to any of your decisions, as long as you make up your own mind. It’s just that you need to convince your father. If mother doesn’t object, it’s already the biggest concession you can make.”
Layla: “Mom, thank you! I really love you!”
“Mom and Dad love you too. I love you more than you can imagine.” Avery said, opening the door.
Elliot stood outside the door impressively.
“Dad, are you eavesdropping?” Layla smiled and grabbed her father’s big palm, “Didn’t you hear anything?”
If she had, her father’s expression would not be so calm.
“What are you guys talking about, can’t I let me know?” Elliot expressed dissatisfaction, “Mother is important, but father is not important?”
