His Eagle Eyes on Me

Chapter 1872

"But," said, Layla before Elliot could get a word in, "If Mommy really wants to marry Uncle Billy, I'll be down with it too.

Mommy said that Uncle Billy will treatand my siblings well. | really look forward to meeting Uncle Billy. Maybe he might even

listen tomore than you."

Elliot's fury was at its peak.

"Layla, do you really want that man to be your stepfather?" His voice was trembling.

Layla could feel Elliot's anger, but she decided to brace it and finished whatever she wanted to say.

"As long as Mommy is happy, of course, | would acknowledge that man as my stepfather."

Hearing Layla's answer, Elliot was extremely heartbroken.

He got up from the sofa and headed upstairs.

Looking at Elliot heading upstairs without saying anything, she panicked.

Did she provoke Elliot so much that it backfired?

At that thought, Layla anxiously went to look for Mrs. Cooper.

"I made Daddy angry just now." Layla looked at Robert, who was sleeping soundly in bed, and puffed her cheeks.

Mrs. Cooper pulled Layla out of the room.

"I heard sof it. You said that your Mommy has found a new boyfriend." Mrs. Cooper sighed. "Is it true?"

Layla lowered her head. She thought for a few seconds and said, "If Mommy has truly found a boyfriend, what do you think Daddy

will do?"

Mrs. Cooper shook her head. "I don't know. It depends on what type of boyfriend your Mommy has found If he is a good person,

perhaps, your Daddy won't interfere. If he isn't a good person, your Daddy wouldn't want to see your Mommy being dragged down

by a bad man."

"The boyfriend my Mommy found would surely be a good person!"

"Oh, I don’t know what your Daddy would do, but I'm sure that he would be very sad." Mrs. Cooper could not help but feel for Elliot.

"He has known your Mommy for many years, and ever since he met her, not once has he gone for another woman. Even after the

divorce with your Mommy, he has kept himself clean. Layla, when you grow up, you will find out hard it is to cby a man like

your Daddy."

After hearing what Mrs. Cooper said, Layla felt more guilty.

"I hoped that Daddy will try >a&?XLR: get Mommy back, but | can't tell him that, so | made him angry. | exaggerated the qualities

of Mommy's boyfriend," said Layla, explaining her earlier behavior.

Mrs. Cooper patted her on the shoulder." No one is going to get angry. Put yourself in your Daddy's shoes. If you were him, what

would you do? Your Daddy has been doing his best in caring for you and Robert. There isn't a single flaw in that. If you want them

to reconcile, why don't you praise your Daddy in front of your Mommy?” "If my words have any use, they will not have divorced."

Layla sighed. "I'll head back to my room and take a shower."

Layla said that she was returning to her room to take a shower, but when she went upstairs, she headed directly for Elliot's study.

She was worried for Elliot. What if he was crying in his study?

Fifteen minutes later, Layla took her homework and pushed open the door to Elliot's study, without knocking.

Elliot was caught off guard. He panicked. He had not heard Layla's footsteps.

The door was opened just like that. He could not wipe away the tears in his eyes in time!

Layla quickly walked over to Elliot. Seeing the tears in his eyes, she was moved. She pursed her lips.

"Layla, I-"

"Daddy, I'm sorry." Layla took a few pieces of tissue from the desk and passed them to Elliot. "| made you angry on purpose just

now."
