NovelOnline"I was the one who had asked Layla to consider this," said Hayden, looking at Elliot. "She is still sad because of Eric's rejection. She is still sad because she has not found anyone better." "Hayden is right." Avery had accepted the situation. "Layla has been sheltered since she was a child. All the people she knows are all the people she grew up with. It's hard for her to form any feelings for them." "Avery, I'm not against Layla's decision. I'm against her doing it now. She's only twenty-four. Do we need to be in such a rush? She is still young. Let her work for a few more years. Once she is more mature, perhaps she could naturally meet a suitable partner," said Elliot, voicing out his thoughts.
At that, everyone looked at him.

If Layla was still young, what was Tiffany at 17 years old? Was she a child in kindergarten then? Layla picked up her glass and took a sip. She said calmly, "According to my father, it's best if I start looking for a partner when I'm thirty." "Twenty-eight or nine would be fine too. At that age, people are generally more mature. That way, it would prevent a lot of conflict and quarrels," said Elliot, continuing to voice out his opinions.
"You can't stop your daughter from wanting to be in a relationship!" Avery placed svegetables on Elliot's plate. "Have more food and talk less. With Hayden watching out for her, I'm not worried. Don't tellyou are worried about Hayden's way of working?" This was a great tactic of Avery's! Even if Elliot had any opinions, he would not give voice to his opinions when they were about Hayden! "Dad, don't worry. Finding a partner does not mean I'm going to get married immediately. I only want to know more people. Perhaps, they might motivatepositively and makework harder," said Layla to her father. "If I don't meet an extremely nice man. I would rather stay at hwith you and Mom than simply get married." Layla's words made Elliot relax his creased brows.
"Can you have more confidence in our daughter? Even if she is making a fuss right now, Hayden will look after her," murmured Avery to Elliot, trying to persuade him to accept his daughter's decision.
"Hayden, once you have drafted up the conditions, lethave a look." Elliot was still worried. He decided he will judge who his daughter will be allowed to date.
Hayden agreed, and the matter was settled.

Avery furrowed her brows. "You're only in college, yet you want to get married already?" Elliot said, "Robert can be in a relationship. Of course, on the condition that it doesn't affect his studies." "Double standards!" Avery glared at Elliot. "Layla has to wait until she's thirty yet Robert can be in a relationship. He is only nineteen!" "That's because Layla is my little princess," Elliot said with a clear conscience. "I have to protect her well." "Elliot, don't you know that cute are in danger, too?" Ben said. "Especially a cute and nice-looking boy like Robert. Many older wealthy women like boys like Robert..." Elliot was confused.
"Robert is so handsand adorable. I'm sure not only older rich women would like him." Tammy looked a Robert and said, "Robert surely attracts all ages! Robert, I'm sure many young girls pursue you right? You must surely get hit on by people on the streets, right?" Avery and Elliot immediately looked at Robert when they heard what Tammy had said. Robert normally never spoke on this topic.
"Mom, Dad, don't worry. Before I graduate won't get into a relationship. I only want to focus on my studies and do something that I like after I graduate," RobertO promised his parents. Avery let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm full," Layla said and placed her cutlery down. "You all eat. I'll head out to get sair."
