NovelOnlineWhen Avery saw her daughter and the young, tall, and handsman next to her, she instantly understood what was going to
happen.
Elliot also realized what was happening.
Their daughter still had not let go of Eric! She had specifically brought a man to show Eric what he had lost.
Elliot hoped that he was overthinking things, if not this matter was going to be much more troublesome.
"Oh, what a coincidence!" Layla said shamelessly. She got the prince of Creolia to sit next to Eric while she sat next to her mother.
"I was just looking for a place to eat when | noticed your car outside the hotel, so | cin."
Layla made it seem like she had bumped into them.
Eric looked at the blonde guy next to him. When Eric noticed that the blond man was the prince whose picture Layla had posted on
her social media account, he immediately greeted him politely, "Hello."
The prince also offered a polite greeting in return, "Hello. You must be Eric Santos. | know you."

"Andrew, my parents still don't know your name. Why don't you introduce yourself?" Layla smiled at Andrew.
The prince nodded and generously introduced himself. "Hello, Mr. Elliot and Mrs. Avery, and Mr. Santos. My nis Andrew
Millington. I'm from the Creolia royal family. I'm twenty-four this year..."
After he introduced himself, Layla softly asked Avery, "Mom, do you think he is much more handsthan his photo?"
Avery smiled politely and said in the softest voice possible, "Layla, eat."
"Oh..."
Elliot had gotten the waiter to get two more sets of cutleries.
When Layla received her cutlery, she said to Andrew, "Don't hold back. My parents are easygoing. My Uncle Eric is even more
easygoing. You can call him Uncle Eric, just like how | do."
Andrew heard what she said. He smiled and said to Eric, "Hello, Uncle Eric."
Eric smiled awkwardly yet politely, "Hello. Try the signature crab dish. See whether you like it or not."
Eric generously introduced the dishes to Andrew.
Andrew wanted to eat, but he sensed that Elliot was staring at him, so he said in embarrassment, "Mr. Elliot, have sfood."
Elliot replied, "I'm not hungry, you eat!"
Avery smiled and said to Andrew, "Have a taste! The crab doesn't have a shell, so you don't need to crack the shell. This is the
gravy. You can dip it in if you want. If you like it hot, you can also get the waiter to add shot sauce to it."
Avery passed the gravy to Andrew.
"Mrs. Avery, I'm fine with whichever. I'll help myself." Andrew accepted the gravy, took a small piece of crab, and dipped it in the
gravy before putting it into his mouth.
Alook of satisfaction crossed his face with the first bite.
"How is it? Are you used to the taste?" Layla asked.

"Hmm. It tastes fresh," Andrew said while helping himself to another piece.
"This dish is great, too. Also, one of the restaurant's signatures," Layla recommended the dish to him and said, "You don't have to
be so polite. Just eat whatever you want. If it's not enough, we can order more."
"Thank you! All of you are so affectionate. I'll pay for the meal later," Andrew said maturely.
"Hahaha! You've cfrom so far away. How could we let you pay? The elderly are here. You don't have to snatch the bill from
them," Layla said before speaking to Avery, "Mom, is there anything fun to do here? | plan to show him around later, but | realized
I'm not familiar with this place."
"See what Andrew likes to do, then take him wherever he wants to go. Perhaps, he already has splans." Avery had wanted to
chat with Eric, but when Layla and Andrew arrived, she had forgotten what she had wanted to say.
Also, with her daughter and her friend there, she could not properly chat with Eric.
"Okay, then! I'll just take him around later." Layla took a few bites of her food before realizing that the atmosphere was rather
awkward.
Her parents and Eric were not talking at all.
"Are we disturbing you all?" Layla asked. "We'll leave once we've finished eating."
