His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2596

"What does this have to do with Eric?" Avery took some food for Elliot. "Didn't you see how Eric reacted just now? Eric doesn't have those sorts of feelings for our daughter. It's her problem."

"What problem does our daughter have?" Elliot was protective of his daughter. "She is a blank canvas, and we have to properly guide her."

"Oh, then you do it! I can't do it." Avery had already patiently talked things over with Layla.

If Layla was a little younger, she would still be guided. However, Layla was already 25 years old. She would not follow anybody's orders or guidance. Everyone has the right to choose their own life.

"I'll talk to her properly tonight," Elliot said confidently.

"Sure! Once you're done talking, she'll come to confide in me," Avery teased.

Elliot said, "You don't trust me?"

Avery replied, "I just understand our daughter too well."

Eric listened to them going back and forth. He did not dare interrupt. He only buried his head and ate in silence.

"Eric. I'm going to be clear with you today," Elliot suddenly looked at Eric and said coldly, "I will never allow my daughter to marry you. If you want to marry her, you'll have to wait until your next life!" Elliot paused for a while before saying, "You can't marry her in your next life either!"

Eric said, "I don't think I have ever asked her to marry me?"

Avery blushed awkwardly. "Hubby, enough. If you want to guide our daughter, then you have to find an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with her. Eric did not do anything wrong. Don't shoot him."

Elliot did not say anything, but he had lost his appetite.

Avery could understand how he felt. He had always treated Layla as something that was precious, and he doted on her. When Layla was young, he was afraid that she might stumble and fall. He was so afraid that he had wanted her to be placed under surveillance. No, he had wanted to follow his daughter himself— everywhere. 24 hours a day, protecting her.
