His Eagle Eyes on Me
Chapter 2496

Tammy laughed. "Avery, I thought you said you weren't in a hurry to see him date?"

"I'm not in a hurry. I'm just asking," Avery said. "He's in his twenties, and it's normal for him to date."

"It's normal for him to get married as well! You already had kids when you were in your twenties," Tammy said with a smile before turning to look at Hayden. "Hayden, what kind of women do you like? Tell me. I have connections..."

"Aunt Tammy, my brother lives in Bridgedale! Even if he wants to date someone, he's going to look for a girl there. Why don't you worry about me instead? I'm in my twenties as well, so why aren't you guys urging me to date instead?" Layla asked. "Girls my age are all married with kids."

"Do you think it's that easy to have children? It hurts a lot! The pain is a hundred, a thousand, even a million times worse than your period cramps!" Tammy wanted Layla to enjoy herself a little more before she went looking for a husband. She needed to mature a little more.

"Tammy, you are going to traumatize her into fearing marriage and giving birth," Avery said.

"I'm not trying to scare her. I'm just telling her the truth. Women ought to be more careful when they are out looking for a man."

"She doesn't have to be that careful if she's looking for a boyfriend. She just has to be careful when she looks for a husband," Avery said. "Layla isn't a child anymore, and she has never been in a relationship..."

"Layla is still young," Elliot interrupted Avery and said, "Layla has just graduated-"

"I should have graduated a long time ago, Dad. You were the one who insisted that I get my master's. Why didn't you ask that of Hayden?" Layla pouted.

"Your brother created the Dream Maker before he even turned fifteen," Elliot said. "I don't need you to beat him, but I want you to study more and broaden your horizons so that you won't get into trouble in the future."

"You just wanted me to keep studying so that I won't get married," said Layla, pointing out the obvious.

Flushed, Elliot asked, "Do you want to get married? What's so good about getting married..."

"Dad, I don't know what's good

about getting married, but from how lovey-dovey you and Mom are at home all the time, I'm sure that Mom doesn't regret getting married," Layla said in a slightly jealous tone. If I can find someone I love and who I to get married."

loves me back, I'm willin and who

"No man on earth will love you like me," said Elliot, shattering her fantasy. "There's no hurry to rush into a relationship. Just focus on your career."

She snorted. "You told me to focus on my studies when I was a student, and now that I'm working, you ask me to focus on work. There's no end to work."

"You can go ahead if you want to date someone, Layla. I support you," Avery said. "Your dad just doesn't want to marry you off. That's why be keeps telling you that no one is as good as he is. I'm sure that there are plenty of great men out there who are worthy of your hand, but you will need to be careful about who you choose."

"It's so difficult, Mom! All the guys I know are so childish! I hate the kind of men who pretend to be mature when they are not," Layla said, before glancing at Robert, "Like Robert here." "Sis, I'm begging you. Just leave me alone!" Robert pleaded innocently. "I'm going to work at Hayden's company during the summer holidays, so you won't see me for a month." "Haha, I should celebrate, then!" Layla laughed.

"I just remembered something." Tammy picked up her glass and took a sip of wine. "Layla, do you remember saying that you wanted to marry Eric when you were small? Do you two still keep in touch?"

"Of course, I remember! I told my mom about it, too! My mom was terrified and told me not to tell my dad about this."

Elliot scowled, his eyes darting from his daughter to his wife. "When was this?"

Avery rubbed her temples and pretended not to remember. "It's been so long. I don't remember."

"Hahaha! It's been so long since I saw Eric. Is he married now?" Tammy enjoyed fanning Elliot's anger and continued with the topic despite the dark expression on his face. "Not yet! His marriage would be all over the news if he was," Layla said casually.
