His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1872

"But," said, Layla before Elliot could get a word in, "If Mommy really wants to marry Uncle Billy, I'll be down with it too.

Mommy said that Uncle Billy will treat me and my siblings well. I really look forward to meeting Uncle Billy. Maybe he might even listen to me more than you."

Elliot's fury was at its peak.

"Layla, do you really want that man to be your stepfather?" His voice was trembling.

Layla could feel Elliot's anger, but she decided to brace it and finished whatever she wanted to say.

"As long as Mommy is happy, of course, I would acknowledge that man as my stepfather."

Hearing Layla's answer, Elliot was extremely heartbroken.

He got up from the sofa and headed upstairs.

Looking at Elliot heading upstairs without saying anything, she panicked.

Did she provoke Elliot so much that it backfired?

At that thought, Layla anxiously went to look for Mrs. Cooper.

"I made Daddy angry just now." Layla looked at Robert, who was sleeping soundly in bed, and puffed her cheeks.

Mrs. Cooper pulled Layla out of the room.

"I heard some of it. You said that your Mommy has found a new boyfriend." Mrs. Cooper sighed. "Is it true?"

She was worried for Elliot. What if he was crying in his study?

Fifteen minutes later, Layla took her homework and pushed open the door to Elliot's study, without knocking.

Elliot was caught off guard. He panicked. He had not heard Layla's footsteps.

The door was opened just like that. He could not wipe away the tears in his eyes in time!

Layla quickly walked over to Elliot. Seeing the tears in his eyes, she was moved. She pursed her lips.

"Layla, I-”

"Daddy, I'm sorry." Layla took a few pieces of tissue from the desk and passed them to Elliot. "I made you angry on purpose just now."
