He should have kept his mouth shut!
Elliot loved Layla so much. How could he possibly let her marry someone somewhere far from him?
From Elliot's perspective, no man on Earth was good enough for Layla!
Elliot only comforted George that way a moment ago because he had never thought of Layla being married far away from him!
"Mr. Foster, I-I'm sorry. I misspoke," George immediately apologized when he heard Elliot's breathing grow heavier.
Elliot thought about how Avery teased him on the way home a moment ago. Not only was Chad a little afraid of him, but George was, too.
He did not want the people by his side to be afraid of him.
How embarrassing would it be if all his staff went to look for Avery for every single thing in the future?
"Don't worry about it. Layla is still young. I haven't thought about this problem yet." Elliot pretended to be calm and said, "Your parents-in-law are still staying at the hotel?"
George said, "Yes! Since Leah and I have already requested leave, we plan to take them out tomorrow."
"Call them right now and ask if they have already eaten yet or not. Say that I want to invite them over for dinner." Elliot planned to help George Leah's parents' approval.
George felt a little shocked at Elliot's kindness. His lips quivered slightly. "Mr. Foster, this is too much… You've been busy the entire day. Now you have to spend money…"
When George said that, he realized that Elliot looked like he was losing patience, so he quickly said, "Alright. I'll go get Leah to call her parents…"
"You make the call." Elliot felt that his bodyguard was a little naive. He did not know how to present himself at all. No wonder Leah's parents were unimpressed.
A few seconds later, Mr. Kennedy answered the phone and asked who it was.
Elliot took the phone and walked into the courtyard.
Leah saw that Elliot had taken George's phone. She immediately walked over to George and asked, "Is he talking to my dad on the phone?"
"Hmm… Mr. Foster might think I'm a little dumb, so he took the phone away from me." George still had some self-awareness left.
Leah was afraid that her father would speak out of line, so she immediately took her own phone out and called her mother.
"Mom, Elliot Foster is talking to Dad. Get Dad to mind his words!" Leah said softly. "Elliot is George's boss. He treats George very well."
Mrs. Kennedy said, "Silly girl! Even if Elliot wasn't connected to George, we still wouldn't dare offend him! He asked us out to dinner. We're currently eating!"
