His Eagle Eyes on Me

Chapter 2788

"Layla is my daughter and | have the responsibility to educate her from a young age. However, she is no longer a child who needs

to be told what to do," Avery said. "She likes you and wants to be with you, no matter how long you live. She thought this through."

Eric heard every word she said, but still, struggle to accept it.

"Eric, | know that you are doing this for her sake, but she will be devastated if you reject her." Avery felt conflicted. She did not

want to put Eric in a difficult position, nor did she want to see Layla upset. After all that the two had been through, Avery wanted

them to be happy.

"What about Elliot?" Knowing that he would not be able to convince Avery, Eric wanted to talk to Elliot instead.

"You want to see him?" She asked.

He nodded.

"I'll call him, then." She took out her phone to call Elliot. After the phone call, she said, "he feels the sway as | do, so talking to

him won't help unless you can convince Layla to give up."

"lI wouldn't talk to you if | could get her to give up." Eric waspletely helpless before Layla.

Layla might appear to be obedient, but could be extremely stubborn at times and one might let her true nature escape their

attention because people around her spoiled her.

"You haven't fully recovered and you might feel pessimistic now," Avery said. "You will get much better in a week's tand with a

few more months of rest, everything is going to get back to normal."

"The doctor said that | can't participate in any extrsports or heavy lifting anymore." Eric hadprehended his condition and

had therefore turned Layla down.

If he could not be an ordinary man, he would not be able to make Layla happy and if that was the case, he saw no point in wasting

her time.

"Yeah, you can't participate in any extrsports, but you have retired so that shouldn't affect you!" Avery said. "You will be

perfectly capable of taking care of yourself and you can even go jogging as long as you don't sprint or run for a really long period

of time."

Eric fell into silence at her words.

Shortly after, Elliot walked in and Avery stood from her chair. "Eric wants to talk to you about Layla." She then walked out of the

room.

Elliot went to sit on the schair that was still warm and asked, "you don't want to marry Layla, do you?" He hade to the

hospital daily and saw how Eric was trying to keep his distance from Layla.

Elliot knew that he should be happy that Eric rejected Layla, but he could not because Layla would only be upset over the rejection.

Layla had been devastated for a long tbecause she was not allowed to be with Eric and Elliot was worried that Layla would

suffer mental issues if this carried on.

She had been traumatized since the avalanche and to experience a heartbreak so soon after that would crush her.

Elliot no longer saw Eric as a man who hade to take his daughter away and started seeing him as a sort of 'toy' that could

entertain his daughter.
