His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2390

"He hasn't found a suitable one yet, right? Let's wait until he finds a girlfriend!" Layla's gaze returned to her papers. "Mommy, you're suddenly so serious!"

"Am I?" Avery was afraid that her attitude would scare Layla, so she immediately started to laugh. "I'm only worried because Uncle Eric doesn't have that many holidays. If you spend all your winter and summer breaks with him, he won't have time to find a girlfriend. This would affect him quite badly."

Layla pouted.

"You also know that Uncle Eric's parents are forcing him to go on blind dates. They really hope that he will quickly find a girlfriend and start a family. After all, he is not young anymore." Avery subtly implied the age gap Layla and Eric had between them.

"Mommy, why do you think the same way everyone else does? Uncle Eric is not old at all. If he doesn't want to find a girlfriend and doesn't want to get married, you can't force him." Layla looked at Avery once more, feeling injured on Eric's behalf.

Avery smiled. "Baby, I'm not forcing him. I'm only telling you his situation. We're not forcing him, but his parents are still urging him to get married. If you kept spending time with him, what would his parents think? Wouldn't they think that you take up too much of his time?"

"I don't know his parents. I don't care what they think! As long as Uncle Eric plays with me," Layla said dismissively.

"Layla, I'm worried about you." Avery hesitated for a while before saying, "You're not that young anymore. I'm afraid that you will start to have thoughts about Eric that go beyond your usual relationship."

"Mommy, I like Uncle Eric. I like spending time with him because he treats me well. He listens to me," Layla said, uninhibited. She was confident about her feelings for Eric.

Avery nodded. She understood how her daughter felt. Eric did not only treat Layla well. He treated Avery well, too.

Just when Avery thought that she had over-thought this, Layla said, "Mommy, when I graduate from college… If Uncle Eric still hasn't gotten a girlfriend yet, I'll marry him! What do you think?"

Avery was speechless.
