NovelOnlineLayla said, "Dad, we haven't spoken about marriage yet! | just find him interesting. | want to get to know him better. Even if we
don't end up together, being friends isn't too bad either. You all wantedto get to know more boys, right?"
Avery said, "| support you. Nothing bad could cout of getting to know more motivated friends."
Elliot said, "Layla, you have to make sure to stay safe. Make sure you keep your bodyguards with you when you leave to meet him.
You cannot go alone, let alone meet with him at night. Before you see him, letknow."
Avery was speechless.
Layla said, "Dad, | know. I'll get Robert to accompany me!"
Elliot said, "Robert is slightly weaker. If anything were to happen to you. | don't think he can protect you. It's better that you take
the bodyguards along."
Layla was speechless. After having her meal, she left.
When Avery saw that Layla had left, she said to Elliot, "Eric is preparing to go to a university to be a music professor. Before he
started working, | asked him out for a meal. Do you want to join us?"
Elliot asked, "When will it be?"
"This Saturday. Since | know you want to cwithto see him, | purposely chose a Saturday," Avery said with a smile. "Are you
coming?"
"You've already put it this way, can | say no?"
"You can come, but you can't scold him or touch him," Avery warned.

"Why would | want to beat him up?" Elliot said calmly. "I'll only beat him up if he agreed to get together with Layla."
Layla was in the living room, eavesdropping on their conversation in the dining hall.
Her parents were going to see Eric on Saturday.
"Robert, find out where they are meeting Eric this Saturday," whispered Layla.
"Layla, are you still hung up on Uncle Eric?" Robert muttered. "Aren't you afraid that it will only be awkward if you were to meet
him? If | were you, | would surely not go..."
"You're just a brat, what do you know? | want revenge!" Layla barked in a low voice. "So, are you going to helpor not? If you
don't help me—"
Before Layla's hand could hit Robert, Robert immediately surrendered. "I'll go and ask Dad later! He hasn't finished eating yet! Just
wait!"
"What gare you playing? Can't you do anything else apart from playing games all day long?" Layla wanted to snatch away his
phone.
Robert immediately jumped up from the sofa.
"Layla! You're mistaken! I'll only play two rounds when | chevery day! | don't play video games while I'm in university!"
Layla said, "My head hurts when | see you play! You don't let Dad or Hayden catch you playing games. | don't play either. Only you
like to play games!"
"Layla, I'm relaxing! | don't have an addiction to games..."
