Layla couldn’t help laughing out loud: “Eric, I didn’t expect you to be hiding in the closet Hahahaha! Have you ever
been so ashamed?”
Eric blushed slightly, “Yeah.”
“Are you so afraid of my parents?” Layla sat down by the bed and continued to laugh.
Fortunately, there was nothing in the wardrobe in the guest room, it was empty.
So it wouldn’t be too crowded for Eric to hide inside.
“I’m afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. You are still sick, and you refuse to tell your family about your illness. If
they see me, how can I explain it?” Eric stood in front of her, looking down at her, ” Have you had dinner yet?”
“Yes. My parents brought it for me, a lot, and it’s still hot, go eat it!” Layla stood up, still couldn’t help laughing, and
joked, “Eric, you are not like an elder at all… There is no elder like you.”
“I am indeed too indulgent to you. I should have secretly told your mother the first time I found out that you were
sick. As long as your mother finds an excuse to come here, she can find out that you are sick without betraying
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtme.” Eric said seriously.
The smile on Layla’s face disappeared immediately: “Don’t make up your mind. If you really betrayed me, I can feel
it. And I’m getting better soon, and you don’t need to betray me anymore.”
Eric: “Yes.”
“The food is on the table, go and eat!” Layla pointed to the food and dishes on the coffee table.
Eric took a look: “You haven’t eaten much, have you?”
“After eating a small bowl, I can’t eat anymore. My stomach has been hungry for the past two days.” Layla sat
down on the sofa, leaned against the back of the sofa, and sighed slightly, “It feels like I’m going through a
catastrophe these days. I’ve been eating for a long time Not so unlucky anymore.”
Eric went to the kitchen to get his own bowls and chopsticks, chatted with her while eating: “You are not unlucky, it’s
because you were taken care of so well in the past and never suffered.”
Layla: “Forget it What you said makes sense. But I don’t think it’s necessary to praise suffering, why do you have to
suffer?”
“Yes! You don’t have to come out to suffer, why do you have to move out?” Eric looked up at her, “When you
recover from illness Just move back and live!”
Layla: “…I moved out with great difficulty, and I won’t move back. Don’t worry, if anything happens to me in the
future, I won’t bother you anymore.”
Eric: “That’s not what I meant.”
Layla: “Then what do you mean? Eric, I find that you are becoming more and more dishonest.”
Eric bowed his head and ate in silence.
“You rejected me because you were afraid of my parents’ opposition.” Layla said her analysis, “You have been so
good to me these two days, it is clearly the same as before. Eric, you are afraid of my parents, but I am not. I can
persuade them.”
“Layla, be more sober.” Eric put down the bowl and chopsticks, lost his appetite, and moved his lips. He clearly
wanted to say a lot, but in the end, he only said one sentence,” …You deserve a better man.”
“What is better? According to my parents, my brother, and my age, a man with outstanding abilities and a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdistinguished family background is better. Is it right?”
“Yes.” Eric said firmly, “You can do nothing wrong if you listen to your parents. They won’t harm you.”
“Of course they won’t harm me. But they are not me after all. They don’t know what I want.” Layla’s tone was also
very firm, “I only know that whoever I am happy with is the one I want to be with. I don’t care if the other party is
rich or similar to me in age…”
“You have too little contact with the opposite s-e-x.” Eric made a judgment.
“My parents said the same thing. I also tried to listen to them and meet many men, but the end result is still the
same. I can’t talk to those people. Sometimes I wonder if you are a fairy tale I have seen too much. You think that
the happy life of the princess and the prince is the end. But in reality, not everyone can be so lucky and find
someone who will stay together for a lifetime. I can’t control the future, I just care about my present I like you now,
and I want to marry you, even if I am not happy with you in the end, can’t we still separate and start again? Why
don’t you give me a chance to try and make mistakes?”
Eric looked at Layla, it felt like she had changed somewhat from before.
Now Layla could make him speechless and overwhelmed.
“You all think of me as a child, whether I am five years old, or fifteen years old, or twenty-five years old now, I will
always be a child in your eyes. I know you love me, but I don’t like this kind of love. So I moved out.” Layla said
these words, then got up from the sofa and walked towards the bedroom.
