Maybe you will like them." Layla did not want to continue the subject and turned to her older brother. "Hayden, do you hate women that much? You didn't have to hire only men, did you?" "Don't listen to him," Hayden said not wanting to alert his parents. "I am not the one who hired them." "Then there is an issue with your HR. Why are they only hiring men? What are they plotting?" asked Layla.
"My HR manager is a woman," Hayden said, "don't listen to Robert." Layla turned to look at Robert. "Robert, you look slimmer, too! Is it from fixing cars?" Robert rubbed at his face and muttered, "... Maybe! But I'm certain that I didn't lose as much weight as you." "It's just because I'm tired from working." Layla reached for a pork rib and took a bite of it. "I will gain weight after New Year's. Stop worrying about me." "Alright, then! Layla, have you prepared sNew Year's money for me? Hayden gavehis this morning," Robert said.
She placed the bone on the plate and turned to look at Hayden, "Hayden, you gave Robert money but not me? You can't favor him over me!" "Cto my room later," Hayden said before focusing on his food.

"Hayden, I don't really want money," she said. "I'm working, so I have more money than I can count." Hayden shut the door and walked to the window. Looking out, he said, "I didn't ask you to cto my room to give you any money either." "Huh?" She walked over to him and stared at him. "Are you going to lecture me? Please don't... I'm too old for that. Besides, I know what happened." "So, why are you still upset about Eric? Do you know how old he is? And you want to marry him. Have you gone insane?" said Hayden, grilling her mercilessly. "HaveWe been going too easy on you that you can't even tell reality from.
in daydreams?" "It's New Year's today, Hayden. Can't you just lectureafter New Year's?" Layla felt a lump in her throat.
"I am leaving after New Year's, so I don't have tto lecture you after that." Hayden shot her a stern look. "You are twenty-four, almost twenty-five this year, and Eri@is old enough to be your father... S "It's not that bad! He isn't that old. You won't convinceof anything if you are disapproving merely because we have a large age gap. Our parents have a big age gap as well..." "Which is why they weren't happy when they were younger." Hayden shoved his hands into his pockets. "Have you forgotten all about that?" "I know that they used to fight a lot when they were younger, but... it's not that bad, right? Look at how much they love each other now! As long as there's a happy ending, it's fine even if the path was a little bumpy," she said. "You have too peaceful of a life so far, and now, you are itching for suffering." "Hayden, age difference aside, do you not like Eric? He has been so nice to us." "To me, he will always be a senior member of the family. Even if he is a great man, I won't let you marry him." "Why do you all have to be so forceful? I'm not a child anymore, and I get to marry whoever I want..." She sat down on Hayden's bed and pouted.
"Fine. Don't ccrying to us if you get hurt." "Like I won't get hurt if I date someone my age." "If you date someone your age, I can beat him up."
