NovelEnglishElliot frowned. He probably did not feel very good about the situation.
On the way to the airport, he and Avery began to discuss the matter.
"We shouldn't allow Eric to spend too much time with Layla in the future. What if he has impure intentions toward her?" Elliot said sternly with furrowed brows.
"Do you know that age difference between them, Elliot? They're almost twenty years apart! " Avery said.
"It's only a fifteen-year gap," Elliot said. "I once read an article about a couple with a fifty-one-year age gap that got married. Do you really think that a mere fifteen-year gap could stop Eric from having any impure intentions toward our daughter?" Avery was speechless.

If Eric really wants to become my son-in-law, | would have no objections. However, none of this will be up for discussion before Layla is of age. If they still have a good relationship by then and are set on spending the rest of their lives together, | will give them my blessing," Avery said as she held back her laughter.
Elliot clenched his fists as his entire body stiffened.
"I'm just kidding! Didn't we arrange for a bodyguard to watch over Layla? He'd let us know if Eric does anything inappropriate with Layla. Besides, Layla wouldn't let anyone pick on her," Avery said, comforting him.
"We should still reduce the number of times they meet each other.” "Sure. You can tell Layla when we get back from the honeymoon." Avery shoved this difficult problem in Elliot's way, and he instantly pursed his lips.
Two days later, they arrived in Roburg.
Roburg was one of the world's smallest coastal countries. It was only half the size of Avonsville.
It was noon when Avery and Elliot arrived in the country.
Once they arrived at the hotel, they had lunch, then got some rest to fix their jetlag.
As Elliot lay on the soft bed, he could not fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.
After Avery fell asleep, he quietly got out of bed =h%:ULV: took Wesley's postcard out of her bag.
There was a Roburg address on the postcard.
Elliot left the room with the postcard in his hand.

When she saw Elliot sitting out on the balcony, she got out of bed and walked toward him.
"Can't sleep, Elliot?" She walked to his side, then glanced at the sunlight outside. "The weather's great today. Should we go out for a walk?" "Sure." The two of them walked out of the hotel and strolled leisurely on the streets.
When they walked by a drugstore, Avery stopped in her tracks.
She thought she saw a familiar silhouette.
"Wait here for me, Elliot. I'm going in to get some medicine," she said as she let go of his arm. "I think | forgot to bring iodine." Then, she strode toward the drugstore.
