Chapter 2564
“Avery, you are always too soft-hearted.” Ever since Elliot knew that Layla was going to seek marriage, he had been
anxious all day long.
He was supposed to go to work at the company today, but he didn’t. He went to the company and was not in the
mood to work. It’s better to stay at home and see what happened after the news of the marriage announcement
was released.
“It’s not that I’m soft-hearted, it’s that you think this matter is too important. It seems that Layla can really find the
right man through this marriage proposal.” Avery took a longan from the fruit plate, peeled the shell at a leisurely
pace, and let it go into the mouth.
Elliot saw Avery eating longan, so he also reached into the fruit plate, ready to take longan.
“Don’t eat it, you are already on fire, and eating it will add to the fire.” Avery brought him a pear, “You eat pears.”

“Layla also said that this time, she just wanted to get to know more people of the opposite s-e-x. She didn’t say that
she must find a man to marry. Husband, take it easy.” Avery continued to comfort, “Maybe after she met many
people of the opposite s-e-x, she finally found out that she didn’t feel anything, and she still like Eric more in her
heart…”
Elliot: “Honey, can you stop irritating me?”
“You have to prepare for the worst! Many things are not what we think. Things like feelings are the most
uncontrollable. When I first fell in love with you and quarreled, I really wanted it many times. I made up my mind to
make a clean break with you, and finally returned to the original point by accident. Layla is my daughter, maybe
she is the same as me, and if she finds someone right, she will be determined to the end?”
Elliot held the pear with a look of lovelessness on his face.
“Husband, don’t be sad. It’s good for us to live our lives well. Our children and grandchildren have their own
blessings. We can take care of them now, and when we’re gone, we can’t take care of them. It’s better to learn to
let go now… “
“I can’t let go. As long as I haven’t closed my eyes, I can’t let it go.” Elliot picked up the fruit knife and peeled the
pear.
Avery didn’t want to provoke Elliot, but she was also afraid that things would develop as he imagined and that he
wouldn’t be able to bear it, so she was vaccinated in advance.
“If your daughter is really determined, it’s useless for you to care about it. Instead of breaking up your relationship
of the father and daughter, it’s better to let Hayden take care of it.” Avery thought of a good way for him, “Hayden
has taken care of Layla since he was a child, and his thoughts are the similar as Yours, and you don’t want Layla
and Eric to be together. It’s said that an elder brother is like a father, so you have to trust Hayden.”
Elliot finished peeling the pear and handed the pear to Avery.
Avery took the pears.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Okay! Let’s see how the marriage proposal is going to be. With Hayden in charge, I’m more at ease.” Elliot took
another pear and began to peel it.
After Avery took a bite of the pear, the phone rang. She picked up the phone and glanced at it.
“Eric called.” Avery put the pear on the table, took the phone, and was about to step aside to answer it.
“Can’t you tell me?” Elliot looked at Avery, “He must have called you about Layla’s marriage proposal…”
“You eat the pears first. I’ll tell you after I’ve finished.” Avery didn’t want Elliot to hear the two of them talking on
the phone, but was afraid that Elliot would lose control of his emotions and start arguing with Eric.
Avery took the phone and walked towards the second floor. When she was almost on the second floor, she
answered the phone.
“Eric, Happy New Year.” As usual, Avery was not indifferent to Eric because of Layla’s matter.
Elliot couldn’t sit still anymore, so he immediately got up from the sofa and quietly moved towards the stairs on the
second floor.
Avery entered the master bedroom and closed the door.
“Avery, Happy New Year. I called you because I saw the news about Layla’s marriage proposal.” After Eric saw the
news today, he was caught off guard and shocked.
