NovelOnline"What does this have to do with Eric?" Avery took sfood for Elliot. "Didn't you see how Eric reacted just now? Eric doesn't have
those sorts of feelings for our daughter. It's her problem."
"What problem does our daughter have?" Elliot was protective of his daughter. "She is a blank canvas, and we have to properly
guide her."
"Oh, then you do it! | can't do it." Avery had already patiently talked things over with Layla.
If Layla was a little younger, she would still be guided. However, Layla was already 25 years old. She would not follow anybody's
orders or guidance. Everyone has the right to choose their own life.
"I'll talk to her properly tonight," Elliot said confidently.
"Sure! Once you're done talking, she'll cto confide in me," Avery teased.
Elliot said, "You don't trust me?"
Avery replied, "I just understand our daughter too well."
Eric listened to them going back and forth. He did not dare interrupt. He only buried his head and ate in silence.
"Eric. I'm going to be clear with you today," Elliot suddenly looked at Eric and said coldly, "I will never allow my daughter to marry
you. If you want to marry her, you'll have to wait until your next life!" Elliot paused for a while before saying, "You can't marry her
in your next life either!"
Eric said, "lI don't think | have ever asked her to marry me?"

Avery blushed awkwardly. "Hubby, enough. If you want to guide our daughter, then you have to find an opportunity to have a
heart-to-heart talk with her. Eric did not do anything wrong. Don't shoot him."
Elliot did not say anything, but he had lost his appetite.
Avery could understand how he felt. He had always treated Layla as something that was precious, and he doted on her. When Layla
was young, he was afraid that she might stumble and fall. He was so afraid that he had wanted her to be placed under
surveillance. No, he had wanted to follow his daughter himself— everywhere. 24 hours a day, protecting her.

All these years, she had been a part of a blissful and harmonious family.
They had never thought that Layla would have such a strong opinion when it cto picking her life opinion.
Avery respected her daughter, but at the stime, she could understand how upset Elliot felt.

Eric said, "Hmm."
Elliot suddenly thought of something. "If | remember correctly, you used to be paralyzed, right? Are you still fertile?"
Eric was speechless.
Avery cleared her throat. "Elliot, you were also once in a serious accident."
Elliot said, "I got better soon after. He had stayed paralyzed for a few years."
Avery said, "It's private, and you are being rude by being this direct."
Elliot raised his eyebrows and looked at Eric provocatively.
