His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2538

"Thank you," Eric said. "There will be dinner later. If it's okay with all of you, we can all go together."

Avery glanced at Layla, and without another word, Layla turned and left.

Avery and Elliot hurried after her.

"What's going on?" Ben mumbled. "Eric, are you and Layla fighting?"

"I'm sorry," Eric said apologetically.

"She was fine on the way here, and she knew that this was going to be your last concert. Is she angry at you all of a sudden because you started dating?" Ben was smart enough to figure it out on his own.

"I didn't want to upset her, Mr. Schaffer, but I can't help it," Eric said with resignation.

"I get it! Go ahead and celebrate!" Ben figured out the truth and left.

Once they arrived home, Layla shut herself inside her room.

Elliot stared at the table filled with food. He did not have an appetite. "Avery, what on earth did Layla talk to you about the last time she dragged you into her room? Are you two hiding something from me? Eric found himself a girlfriend and she looks heartbroken. What's going on?"

Since Eric had settled down with someone else, Avery felt that Layla would eventually give up on Eric no matter how upset she was at the moment. "Our daughter is in love with Eric. Isn't it obvious?" Not wanting Elliot to lose his temper, Avery decided to shoulder the blame. "It's our fault. Don't blame her for it."

Elliot's expression darkened, and he immediately set his spoon down, completely losing his appetite.

"We were always fighting or busy with our own stuff back when Layla needed us the most. We never had much time for our children, and you know it. Eric used to care for Layla for a week and sometimes, a month."
