After Elliot had gone through the list, he furrowed his brows.
"Dad, you also think that the conditions Hayden listed are too harsh, right?" Layla wanted her father's approval. "If we were to follow Hayden's stipulations, I will never be able to find a boyfriend."
Elliot said, "The list your brother has put together does not hold enough conditions. Many people can meet these requirements. We should set the bar higher."
Layla was baffled.
Avery said, "Hubby, are you serious? I think the first few conditions are alright, but the fourth one, I think it's a little challenging. A thirty-year-old without any sexual experiences…"
"I'm not asking Layla to look for a thirty-year-old man. That is the maximum age," Elliot said, "I think thirty is too old. If they are too young, they would be more childish. It's better if she finds someone around the same age as her." Elliot had his own opinion. "They have to listen to Layla. Older ones might not be able to do so."
Avery and Layla were speechless.
"Why don't you take the list and add to it!" Hayden found what Elliot said made sense.
Father and son had never agreed on anything so completely before. No one had expected that they would share the same opinions about who Layla should date.
"Okay, I'll let you have a look once I add to it." Elliot happily accepted the task and took the draft to the study room.
Avery could not help but smile. "I'm afraid that your father will be in his study for a long time tonight."
"There is no need to rush!" Layla looked at Hayden. "Hayden, did you base these requirements off yourself?"
"Your boyfriend can't be too much worse than me," Hayden said righteously. "How could someone who has no self-control achieve anything in life?"
Layla wanted to respond to that statement, but before she had a chance to say anything Avery said, "Layla, I think Hayden is right. If they have a messy private life, they indeed do not deserve you."
