“Baby, of course we are not enemies with Eric. Last time I met your father and he met him! The relationship
between people may become weaker. This is a normal phenomenon. Don’t think too much about it.” Avery patted
Layla on the shoulder, “Before you confessed your love to him, we didn’t have as much contact with him as
before.”
“Isn’t it because he was too busy at work before, so he didn’t see much? But now he has retired, he is not busy.”
Layla didn’t want her relationship with Eric to become weaker.
After all, Eric filled her entire childhood.
“He didn’t take the initiative to contact us either! Layla, you have to understand that he didn’t take the initiative to
contact us, maybe because he felt too tired to contact us. Then we don’t need to bother him. We will never be
enemies with him. If he has any difficulties and asks us for help, we will definitely help. Similarly, if we have
difficulties, he should also help us. But if there is nothing else, there is no need to contact us.”

It may be because there were not many people who really cared about Layla.
After lunch, Layla dragged Elliot outside. It was the hottest time of the day.
As soon as Elliot went out, he was sweating from the heat.
“Baby, why do you have to come outside to talk?” Elliot was very puzzled when he saw Layla’s face flushed with
heat.
“The house is full of people…Let’s talk about it outside! I bought a house yesterday, near the company. I want to
move out to live alone and come back to live on weekends. Dad, what do you think? How is it?” Layla raised her
eyebrows slightly and looked at Elliot.
The expression on Elliot’s face suddenly became serious: “Why?”
“I want to try the feeling of living alone. I have already made an agreement with my mother.” Layla was afraid that
Elliot would object, so she moved out of Avery immediately.
“Why did you tell mom first? In your heart, mom loves you more than dad, right?” Elliot said sadly.
“Of course not. I told my mother first because the chances of my mother agreeing are higher. Because my mother
has always been more relaxed with us. But I know in my heart that you love us as much as my mother. Dad, you
just agree? I’ll go out and try it out, and if I’m not used to it, I’ll come back right away.” Layla shook Elliot’s arm like
she did when she was a child, and acted like a baby to Elliot.
“You think it’s convenient for you to fall in love because you live alone?” Elliot tried to analyze Layla’s heart.
Layla: “I also want to fall in love, but how can I talk about it if I don’t have a partner? Dad, at my age, it’s okay to
fall in love, right?”
Elliot pondered for a while with a sullen face.
He felt very hot just now, but now his heart was cold.
“How did you negotiate with your mother?” Elliot asked.
“Bodyguards take me to and from get off work every day.” Layla replied, “I solve the problem of eating by myself,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwithout a nanny.”
“How do you solve it yourself? You don’t know how to cook.” Elliot frowned.
“I can learn! I’ll buy a cookbook and follow the recipe. If I can learn how to cook, how about I go home and cook for
you and mom on weekends?” Layla said confidently, “Dad, I really want to see if I can live on my own. I’m 25 and I
haven’t lived on my own.”
“Since your mother agreed, what else can father say.” Elliot said helplessly, “You can move out to live, but if you are
not used to living there, come back. Don’t hold on, it’s unnecessary.”
“Of course, I’m not stupid.” After talking with her Dad, Layla happily took Dad back to the house, “Dad, let’s take a
family portrait! After my sister came back, we haven’t taken a family portrait yet! “
Elliot thought this was a good idea, so he went to get the camera.
After the camera was taken out, Layla invited her father to sit in a chair, and then invited her mother to sit in a
chair.
Then the four brothers and sisters stood beside their parents.
“Wesley, I heard that you take good pictures, come and take them!” Chad gave the camera to Wesley.
