After his identity was exposed at the music festival, Nadia has never chatted with him anymore. He has also never looked for her.
However, Nadia should have told her parents clearly, because his mother no longer forced him to go on blind dates.
For that, he was a little grateful to Nadia.
"If the blind date was successful, I would have brought her along today," Eric said with a smile, "It's not bad being alone, actually. At least, this is how I feel right now."
"Oh…Uncle Eric, aren't afraid of getting old?" Layla asked, "Aunt Lilith thinks Uncle Ben is too old."
Ben was not deliberately eavesdropping on their conversation, but Layla said it out too loud. Everyone around her should have heard her.
If other people were to say that Ben could still protest a little, but he did not dare to do so when Layla said it.
Eric looked at Ben before saying, trying not to laugh, "Then I won't find a wife. If I'm alone, no one can think anything of me."
"Uncle Eric, the next time when I have a long holiday, take me out to play!" Layla looked at him hopefully. "I will surely do well in my final exams this time."
Of course, Eric was willing to take Layla out to play, but he did not dare to do so.
Two years ago, Layla's education was affected badly by Elliot and Avery's divorce, so Elliot did not allow Eric to take Layla out to play anymore.
Of course, Elliot would not say such things in front of Layla. He got Eric to reject Layla, which was why until that moment, Layla still did not know that Eric not taking her out to play was because Elliot did not allow it.
"Once you have finished your exams and you do well, I'll take you out to play," Eric said to her, "If not, I'm afraid your parents would make you take extra lessons."
