His Eagle Eyes on Me

Chapter 2704

Ivy shook her head with a smile. "I can handle it. If | ignore his messages, he will get lost at spoint. We don't have to trouble

Dad over such things."

"You are way out of that brat's league! | just don't want him to harass you. If he follows you again, don't hold back and tell him to

get lost. If he refuses to listen, tellright away." Brian was worried that Ivy might be too kind to turn others down. After all, she

was tolerant enough to allow the boy to follow her all the way to the gates.

"Yeah. How's Layla?"

"She was in her room when | left. They didn't fight, so don't worry."

"Yeah, Robert toldabout it, but | think Layla is probably quite upset."

"Talk to her when you get home, then. It's just a man, and whoever he is, he's not worth starting an argument with your family."

Ivy knew that what Brian said made sense, but humans were not machines, and sacrifices were always painful.

Once she arrived home, Ivy changed into her slippers and went straight to Layla's room.

She knocked on the door and called out Layla's name.

Layla immediately got out of bed and opened the door as soon as she heard Ivy's voice.

"Hso early?" Layla asked calmly.

Ivy took out a bag of candies and handed it to Layla. "lI bought this at noon. It's sour and sweet so it's quite refreshing."

"Sure! Lettry. It's been a while since I've eaten any candy." Layla picked up a piece of candy and placed it in her mouth. "It's a

bit sour."

"It tastes sour at first, but it'll soon taste sweet." Ivy took a piece of candy as well.

"I'm fine." Layla pulled Ivy down to her bed. They both sat on the bed. "I just feel lazy. I've been running around the past two days

and haven't slept well."

"You should stay hand rest for a few more days, then."

Layla shook her head. "I can't. My mind wanders if | stop."

"Go to work tomorrow, then! It will get better." Ivy did not know how to console her.

There was a period of twhen she would feel upset whenever she thought of Lucas, but her family had offered her so much love

that it lessened the pain; on the other hand, Layla grew up in a loving family and only had to learn what it was like to suffer later in

life.

"It's like how you weren't used to living alone when you first moved out. You will get used to it," Ivy said.

Layla nodded. "I feel much better after talking to you. Do you know what Robert said to me?" Sigh, et it! My head hurts just

thinking about him."

"Robert called in sick today, right? Is he hnow?"

"He grabbed Mom and Dad and went outside with them. He's probably trying to givespace. | know that he cares for me; he just

needs to keep that mouth of his in check."

"He's quite simple-minded."

"Or you can call him brainless. | wonder what kind of woman would marry him."

"Layla, are you worried that he will be bullied?"

"He is the most naive member of this family."

"Maybe he isn't naive. He just pretends to be in front of us."
