"Hahaha! Dad, I'm just amused. | thought | have him all to myself after he retires, but there are still a lot of people who remember
him," Layla said. "Dad, don't get upset! He just made the announcement as he thought that the press will talk about it, so it was
best that he made the announcement first."
"So long as you are happy," Elliot said sincerely.
Since Layla was officially Eric's wife, Elliot decided that they should live their lives in whatever way pleased them.
"Dad, if you are really upset, | can get him to delete the post." Layla was worried as she could not see the look on Elliot's face
through the phone.
"He has already posted it, so what's the point in deleting it now?" Elliot had been annoyed but had soon regained hisposure.
"Get him to hire a few more bodyguards, or | can send over a few from my house. Be safe whenever you go outside."
Layla sighed a breath of relief. "Dad, | knew you wouldn't be upset. Don't worry about us. | will hire a few more bodyguards."
After hanging up, Layla scrolled through all thements under Eric's post and read each of the positive and negativements
happily, knowing that Eric was hers.
"It's a good thing that you've retired, or your fans might actuallye after me," Layla teased.
"Those who would do such a thing aren't my fans." Eric reached out and touched her hair. "Why did youe outside without

"There are heaters in the house, and I'm not going to sleep now, so it's going to dry on its own." Layla moved closer to him. "By the
way, we are celebrating New Year's at my family's place this year. This is the first year we celebrate together since Ivy came
home."
"Sure." Eric knew it because Elliot had mentioned it.
"I asked your parents to join us, but they didn't want to." She glanced at Eric.
"Don't worry. They have always spent New Year's on their own," Eric explained. "I usually have to work during New Year's, so |
haven't been able to celebrate with them."
"But if that's the case, that's all the more reason to celebrate with them." Layla felt sorry for Eric's parents and said, "Why don't |
celebrate with my family, and you do the swith yours?"
Eric thought about it and said, "My parents might not agree."
"Why not?" Layla was confused. "My parents definitely wantto celebrate New Year's with them. | assthat all parents want
the sthing."
"They would prefer that | stay with you."
Layla blushed.
Her parents-in-law were wonderful people who never interfered with their lives and remained considerate all the time.
"Let's go to my parent's place for New Year's Eve and go to your parents' a day before or after that. How does that sound?" Layla
offered.
"Just discuss this with my parents. You three keep making decisions behind my back, anyway."

"Do you really not care about bing a widow in the future?"
"I trust modern technology and fate. Who knows what tomorrow might bring? Maybe I'll be the one to die first."
Eric immediately covered her mouth and said, "Let's not talk about that."
