His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2700

Robert sat across from Layla and sipped on a bowl of soup.

"You feel sick? Really? You look fine to me." She glanced at him.

"I... I am sick on the inside," he muttered.

"Oh!" she said. "You are staying home for the drama."

"Don't you want my help? If you don't want it, I can just go." Though she was not entirely wrong, he had mostly stayed to help her.

They grew up together, after all, and the bond between siblings was strong.

"You are not so heartless after all." She finished her pasta and felt as though her stomach was about to burst, so she poured herself a glass of water. "I will go up to my room to grab my phone."

"Layla, are you sure you don't want to shower first?" Robert reminded her. "If you argue with Mom and Dad looking like this, they will think that you've gone mad."

She lowered her gaze and noticed that her clothes were all wrinkled. She had not washed her face or brushed her hair before heading downstairs, so she knew that she looked like a mess.

"I just don't want to keep them waiting," Layla whispered. "Go grab my phone for me."

"Sure!" Robert hurried upstairs and entered Layla's room.

By the time Robert returned with her phone, she had finished her water and was feeling much more refreshed.

"Just a few days? What can you decide in just a few days?" Elliot retorted.

"To be more precise, I've been thinking about what kind of man I'd like to marry ever since I went searching around the globe for a partner," Layla corrected herself. "Mom, Dad, I want someone who gives me a sense of security, and I don't care about the rest. If I'm wrong, and I end up unhappy, I can always leave. I won't become a resentful woman because of my marriage."

Avery nodded and wanted to say something but was interrupted by Elliot: "If you can accept getting divorced afterwards, why not try being with another man? You only feel how you feel for Eric Santos because you haven't spent enough time with other men. Your mother and I only started falling for each other after spending time together."

Avery nodded again, since what Elliot said was reasonable.

"Layla, I don't want to fight with you over this. Since the day you appeared in my life, you've always been my most precious treasure, and I want you to have the best of everything. I am just sharing my experience with you so you won't have to suffer as much as I did. All we want is for you to be happy," Elliot continued earnestly.

Robert was moved by his words, and Avery was instantly rendered speechless, as she had not expected Elliot to give such an impressive speech.
