His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2549

"I was the one who had asked Layla to consider this," said Hayden, looking at Elliot. "She is still sad because of Eric's rejection. She is still sad because she has not found anyone better."

"Hayden is right." Avery had accepted the situation. "Layla has been sheltered since she was a child. All the people she knows are all the people she grew up with. It's hard for her to form any feelings for them."

"Avery, I'm not against Layla's decision. I'm against her doing it now. She's only twenty-four. Do we need to be in such a rush? She is still young. Let her work for a few more years. Once she is more mature, perhaps she could naturally meet a suitable partner," said Elliot, voicing out his thoughts.

At that, everyone looked at him.

Layla was about to be 25 years old, yet he still called her young…

If Layla was still young, what was Tiffany at 17 years old? Was she a child in kindergarten then?

Layla picked up her glass and took a sip. She said calmly, "According to my father, it's best if I start looking for a partner when I'm thirty."

"Twenty-eight or nine would be fine too. At that age, people are generally more mature. That way, it would prevent a lot of conflict and quarrels," said Elliot, continuing to voice out his opinions.

"You can't stop your daughter from wanting to be in a relationship!" Avery placed some vegetables on Elliot's plate. "Have more food and talk less. With Hayden watching out for her, I'm not worried. Don't tell me you are worried about Hayden's way of working?"

This was a great tactic of Avery's!

Even if Elliot had any opinions, he would not give voice to his opinions when they were about Hayden!

"Dad, don't worry. Finding a partner does not mean I'm going to get married immediately. I only want to know more people. Perhaps, they might motivate me positively and make me work harder," said Layla to her father. "If I don't meet an extremely nice man. I would rather stay at home with you and Mom than simply get married."

Layla's words made Elliot relax his creased brows.

"Can you have more confidence in our daughter? Even if she is making a fuss right now, Hayden will look after her," murmured Avery to Elliot, trying to persuade him to accept his daughter's decision.
