His parents had retired and were more than capable of taking care of him. If he insisted on moving out, it would only worry them.
"I am searching for a maid now, and once | find one, you will move in with me," Layla said. "I chere today to talk to your
parents about it."
Eric's expression darkened as Layla did not intend on discussing it with him.
Layla said so because she knew that Eric would never agree to it and resorted to talking to his parents instead.
Noticing that Eric was upset, lvy immediately brought Mrs. Santos over. "Mrs. Santos, Layla wants to discuss living arrangements

Mrs. Santos nodded and sat down next to Layla. "Where will you take Eric?"

"I bought a place near my office stago. | will take a maid from my dad's house and hire another one to take care of Eric,"
Layla explained. "You and Mr. Santos are old now, and | don't want you to exhaust yourself. If you want to see Eric, you can always
Mrs. Santos hesitated.
Layla had mentioned that she would marry Eric once he regained consciousness, and if she refused to let Eric leave with Layla, it
would only hinder their relationship.
Mrs. Santos nodded hesitantly. "Sure. Whatever you and Eric say."
"Okay. | will let you meet the maid once | find the perfect one for the job," Layla said.
Mrs. Santos nodded and turned to study the reluctant look on Eric's face.
"You are so nice, Mrs. Santos." Ivy immediately changed the subject out of fear that Eric would refuse to move in with Layla.
"Haha, my husband is the gentle one. Eric is the only stubborn one in our family," Mrs. Santos said while chuckling. "But he is far
more talented than us. He knows what he wants, and what he needs to do to get there."
"I'm Eric's fan, and he really is brilliant," Ivy said respectfully. "Mrs. Santos, can you tell us more about him when he was little?"
"Haha! I've told your sister everything," Mrs. Santos said and went into her room to retrieve a thick album. "This contains all the
photos of him when he was little. He has always been good-liking, and everyone loved him."
Ivy took the album and started flipping through the photos, and both Robert and she looked at the photos.
"Knock yourselves out. | will go check on the stew in the kitchen," Mrs. Santos said and walked to the kitchen.

Eric shot Layla a pointed look.
"Say what you want to say here. Don't you get tired from walking around?" Layla said. "Robert and Ivy aren't outsiders."
Eric blushed at her words.
He had not turned Layla down in front of everyone because he did not want to embarrass her, and he stood up from the couch.
"Let's talk inside my room."
Layla desperately wanted to stop him from walking around, but she knew that they might argue and agreed that it would be better
for them to talk in the room.
She did not agree out of pride but because she did not want Eric's parents to hear them fighting.
