When she was a teenager, she had mentioned that she had wanted to marry Eric, and her mother had stopped her. She did not think much of it because she was still young at the time. However, despite not being exceptionally close to Eric throughout the recent years, the thought of wanting to marry Eric had taken over her mind once again.
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she did not realize the traffic light had turned green. She only snapped out of it when she heard the loud honks of the cars behind her.
She needed to talk to her mother.
Every time that there was a matter that had upset her or a problem that she could not solve alone, she would always talk to her mother. Though she was almost twenty-five, she was still the baby in front of her mother.
Avery was in Elliot's mansion.
Avery had received the tickets to Eric's live show. He had sent six tickets and a message that said he could send more if she needed more.
Avery felt that six was more than enough, and when Layla arrived home, she immediately showed Layla the tickets.
"Mom, there's something I need to talk to you about." Layla grabbed Avery's hand and dragged her toward her room.
Elliot walked over to the stairs. "Layla, what's wrong? Are you in trouble? You can talk to me as well."
"I'm fine, Dad." Layla did not have the courage to discuss this with her father and closed the door after dragging her mother into her room.
"Layla, what's wrong?" Avery studied the troubled expression on Layla's face and made her sit down. "Something happened at work? Or is it something else?"
"It's not about work... If it's about work, I would have gone straight to Dad!" Layla held her mother's hands and muttered, "Mom, I tried to ask Eric out."
Avery stared at her daughter in shock.
