His Eagle Eyes on Me

Chapter 2391

"I know. You need to be of legal age to get married. You were the one who askedabout this, which was why | told you that!"

Layla continued her homework.

"Layla, have you mentioned any of this to Eric?" Avery was a little worried. She did not know how to face Eric in the future.

"lI don't think so. | can't remember if | have said it in the past or not, but I'm sure | haven't said it this year." Layla smiled widely.

"I've never thought so much about this before!"

"You shouldn't think about it anyway! If Uncle Eric finds a girlfriend in the future, you are not allowed to call on him anymore,"

Avery said seriously. "If you were Aunt Shea's age right now, | wouldn't stop you from doing anything. We should do things

according to our age. Right now, your main mission is to study."

"Mommy, | know. Study. Study and do well! If | am in the top three for this final exam, letgo and have fun!" Layla pleaded,

grabbing Avery's hand.

"Okay. If you want to play with Uncle Eric, | will get the bodyguard to go with you," Avery said.

"Okay." Layla was long used to the bodyguard following her every tshe went out.

That night, Avery could not sleep.

Once she heard Elliot's breathing grow even and deep, Avery picked her phone up from the nightstand and unlocked it.

It was almost eleven at night. She wondered whether Eric was asleep yet.

She hesitated for a while before deciding to send Eric a message.

[Eric, are you free right now?]

A few minutes later, Eric replied.

[I just finished my shower. I'm free now. What is it?]

[I was talking to Layla tonight, and she said that she wants to marry you when she grows up.]

Eric was typing. Avery watched the typing signal go on for almost three minutes before he eventually replied: [She must be joking!]

[She was quite serious. She said that, if you did not get a girlfriend in the future, she would marry you. Eric, what do you think

about that?]

[I have never thought about Layla in that way ever. Avery, please believe me.]

[I'm telling you this because | believe in you. | hope that, when you're with her in the future, if she does anything wrong, you'll

correct her in time. Also, don't give in to her so much anymore. She won't understand boundaries if you spoil her.]

[Okay, I'll pay more attention.]

Avery let out a sigh of relief.

[Avery, don't worry! In the future, Layla will meet a lot of other guys. She would have the correct judgment by then.]

[I'm not worried about her finding a partner. | just think that she should study well right now. She shouldn't think about other

things.]

[I understand how you feel. I'll make sure she studies well.]

[Thank you for understanding. I'm suddenly not worried anymore!]

[Hmm... It's late. Rest well.]

[Okay, you too.]

After finishing her chat with Eric, Avery still could not sleep. She opened her email and started looking at the resumes that Elliot

sent to her that night.
