His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2606

Robert did not know what to say because his sister was right.

"Layla, there's no hurry. Take it slow," Elliot said. "Fate works in the strangest ways. You won't find what you want if you look for it. Participate in more events, and who knows, maybe you will find someone who is meant to be in your life."

"Dad, I thought you didn't want me to come home too late. Everyone needs to work during the day, and most social events take place at night…" Layla chuckled.

Avery, too, could not help but giggle. "Your dad lives in his own bubble. He didn't have to put much effort into getting himself a wife, so he thinks it's that easy for everyone."

"I can tell," Layla said. "Can I come home before nine from now on, then?"

"As long as you take your bodyguard with you, yes," Avery said before Elliot had the chance to say anything.

"I'm going out tonight, then. I will be home late," Layla chirped. "I want to go to the night market. Robert, come with me!"

"Sis, if you are going there to look for guys, why would you bring me along? I'm just going to get in your way."

Layla stared at her brother in silence, not knowing what to say.

"I'm too hot, and if I stand next to you, people would think that we are a couple. No man would approach you if I were to go with you," said Robert.

Since they were young Robert had always followed Layla around, and she had gotten used to taking him along. Regardless of how much they bickered, Layla would always take Robert along with her.

"Whatever. I'll get Andrew to accompany me. I think he hasn't left," she said.

"Not him, Sis! Didn't he get in the way of your other dates?"

"I'll call my best friend, then!"

"How are your best friend and her boyfriend? Are they getting married?" Avery asked. "I recall you saying something about them getting married after graduation."

"Do you want to change into a long-sleeved shirt? There are a lot of mosquitoes out there." Avery rose from her chair. "Let's take a vacation in Bridgedale during the summer holidays!"

"Sure."

"Make sure you empty your schedule." Avery left to get a change of clothes for Elliot.

"Avery, if we are going to Bridgedale, are we leaving Layla alone at home?" asked Elliot, realizing that his daughter would be alone. "That's not right."

"Elliot, Layla will marry someone and move out to start her own family sooner or later. Just get used to it!" Avery brought the long-sleeved shirt with her.

Half an hour later, Elliot took his wife and his son to Bridgedale. After Layla sent them off to the airport, she drove back to the office.

It was a strange feeling to be left alone at home for the first time in her life.
