"Thank you," Eric said. "There will be dinner later. If it's okay with all of you, we can all go together." Avery glanced at Layla, and without another word, Layla turned and left.

Avery and Elliot hurried after her.

"What's going on?" Ben mumbled. "Eric, are you and Layla fighting?" "I'm sorry," Eric said apologetically.

"She was fine on the way here, and she knew that this was going to be your last concert. Is she angry at you all of a sudden because you started dating?" Ben was smart enough to figure it out on his own.

"I didn't want to upset her, Mr. Schaffer, but I can't help it," Eric said with resignation.

"I get it! Go ahead and celebrate!" Ben figured out the truth and left.

Once they arrived home, Layla shut herself inside her room.

Elliot stared at the table filled with food. He did not have an appetite. "Avery, what on earth did Layla talk to you about the last tshe dragged you into her room? Are you two hiding something from me? Eric found himself a girlfriend and she looks heartbroken. What's going on?" Since Eric had settled down with someone else, Avery felt that Layla would eventually give up on Eric no matter how upset she was at the moment. "Our daughter is in love with Eric. Isn't it obvious?" Not wanting Elliot to lose his temper, Avery decided to shoulder the blame. "It's our fault. Don't blher for it." Elliot's expression darkened, and he immediately set his spoon down, completely losing his appetite.

"We were always fighting or busy with our own stuff back when Layla needed us the most. We never had much tfor our children, and you know it. Eric used to care for Layla for a week and sometimes, a month." "That's because you refused to hand the kids to me. If it was up to me, I would never have allowed Eric to take care of her. I would hire the best nanny-" "What's the point of saying that now? Layla has her own thoughts and opinions now, and it isn't even my decision to make." This soon escalated into the worst fight the two had had in the past decade.

"Ever since I took Layla back under my wing, I have stopped her from seeing Eric. Layla did not insist on being with him at the time," Elliot said.

"Even if you are right, that's in the past. Elliot, you can't blher for how she feels." "She's already so upset, so why would I blher?" Elliot's heart ached for his daughter. "She was doing fine before, so why did she..." "They met recently and Layla realized that she still likes him. She said that she prefers mature men, like Eric, who's charismatic and has good looks..." "But he's already forty!" Elliot took a deep breath and picked up his glass to sip on his water. "You can't possibly support this, can you, Avery?" "It doesn't matter what I think. Eric has made his choice. And he rejected Layla." All Avery was worried about was how she could console her daughter.

"That damn b*st*rd! It's a shthat he's retiring, or I will put him out of a job! How dare he break my daughter's heart?!" Elliot snarled as he clenched his fists. S Avery felt that he was being unreasonable.

"Elliot, Eric might like her, but have you considered the possibility that he rejected her right away because of us?" Avery asked. "Or do you prefer that he say yes when our daughter asked him out?" "Of course not! If he dares to accept, I will make him suffer!" Elliot paused, realizing what Avery had said. "What did you just say? Layla asked Eric out?!" , englishUMS
