"Avery, you're always too soft-hearted." Ever since Elliot found out that his daughter wanted to find a partner, every single day filled him with anxiety.

He should have headed to the office that day, but he did not go.

Even if he had gone to the office, he would not have been in the mood to work. He rather stayed at hand look at the responses to the advert.

"I'm not being soft-hearted. You're just placing too much emphasis on this matter. As if Layla could truly find her soulmate through this search." Avery took a grape and placed it in her mouth.

When Elliot saw her eating grapes, he also reached for the fruit bowl for sgrapes.

"Don't, you're already so angry. Have sapples to cool you down instead." Avery took an apple for him. "Here you go." Elliot was speechless.

"Layla has also said that this search is just so she gets to know more people of the opposite sex. She did not say that she was going to find someone to marry. You should relax a little." Avery continued comforting Elliot. "Perhaps, after getting to know them, she will realize that she had no feelings for any of them. She might realize that Eric is still the person she has the most feelings for after all this..." Elliot said, "Honey, can you not provokethat way?" "You also have to prepare for the worst! A lot of things won't happen the way we want them to. Relationships matters are not up to us. Back then, when I was in a relationship with you, whenever we fought, there were many times I wanted to just be ruthless and cut ties with you, but in the end, I still ended up back in the sspot. Layla is my daughter, perhaps, she is just like me. Once she falls for someone, she will be dead set on it till the end?" Elliot, with the apple in his hand, sunk into despair.

"Hubby, don't be sad. We'll just live our lives to the best we can. Our children will be blessed. We can still interfere with their affairs right now. When we pass away, we might not be able to do that. We should just learn to let go right now..." "I can't let go. As long as my eyes are not shut, I can't just let it be." Elliot picked up the fruit knife and peeled the apple.

Avery did not want to further provoke him, but she was also afraid et that if things happened as she imagined they would, he might not be able to take it- which was why she was giving him a precautionary shot in advance. "If our daughter is truly dead set on it, it's pointless even if you interfere. Rather than destroying your father-daughter relationship, you should just get Hayden to deal with it." Avery thought up a good solution for Elliot. "Hayden has cared for He Layla since they were Coes not thinks similarly to you. He does not want Layla to marry Eric. They say that eldest sons are always like their fathers. You have to believe in Hayden." Elliot had finished peeling the apple. He passed the apple to Avery. Avery accepted the apple.

"Okay! Let's see what happens with the advert. With Hayden keeping an eye on it, I'm not that worried." Elliot took another apple and started peeling again.

Avery took a bite of the apple when her phone rang.

She picked up her phone and looked at the caller ID.

"It's from Eric." Avery placed the apple on the table. She took her phone and was about to head to the side to answer the call when Elliot interrupted her.

"Why can't I listen in?" Elliot looked at Avery. "He is surely calling because of Layla's advert..." "Eat your apple first. I'll tell you once I finish the call." It was not that Avery did not want Elliot to listen in on their call. She was just afraid that Elliot would not be able to control his emotions and would start quarreling with Eric. Avery took her phone upstairs. When she was upstairs, she answered the call.

"Eric, happy new year." Avery behaved just as she usually would. She did not treat Eric coldly just because of Layla.

Elliot was antsy. He immediately got up from the sofa and secretly headed upstairs, standing by the staircase.

Avery entered the bedroom and closed the door.

"Avery, happy new year. I'm calling because I saw Layla's advert." Eric was a little caught off guard when he saw the news that day. He was also a little shocked.
