He breathed heavily and asked, "So what should I do? Avery, tell me." Avery felt troubled. "Just pretend that you don't know anything, alright? Don't go looking for trouble with Eric, and don't try to console Layla. If you go and talk to her, she will feel uncomfortable. The last thing she wants is for you to find out about this." "Am I really that scary?" Elliot struggled to pretend that he did not know anything.
Since his daughter had refused to eat because of it, Elliot knew that he was going to lose sleep over it that night.

"How dare that guy do this to my daughter?!" he thought to himself angrily.
"You are not just scary. You are horrifying. Look, there's no way that Layla and Eric would ever get together, and you are this furious." Avery picked up his spoon and shoved it into his hand. "Eat. I will talk to her after dinner. Don't say anything. Don't do anything. If you can't stand it anymore, talk to someone about it." "Who am I supposed to talk to? I can't talk to anyone about this." Elliot set his spoon down once again.
"If you won't eat, then I won't eat." Avery set her spoon down as well. "Let's starve together." Elliot did not care if he starved, but he could not allow his wife to starve.

The more you speak ill of et him, the more Layla is going to obsess over him. Elliot, I hope you won't do anything stupid this time." Avery took a bite of the rib. "If you stay quiet about it, she might just get over it in a few days. Elliot held his tongue and stared at his wife.
