His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2701

Elliot had left no space for Layla to argue.

Seeing how flushed Layla was, Robert immediately poured her a glass of water and handed it to her.

Layla took a sip of the water and turned to Avery. "Mom, what do you think?"

Elliot winked at his wife, hoping that she would side with him.

Avery was at a crossroads. If she chose to side with Layla, Elliot would be upset; but supporting Elliot would only hurt Layla. In the end, she decided to remain neutral.

"I'm not going to participate in this discussion."

The other three were instantly rendered speechless.

"I only want us all to be healthy and happy," Avery continued. "I hope that you will consider what your dad said just now. If you agree with what he said, you can take his advice. But if what he said wasn't enough to convince you, you can continue to negotiate with him."

Layla lowered her head. Though she had rested, she had not completely recovered from her exhaustion and still felt light-headed. She did not know what to say.

"I need a shower." She rubbed her nose and stood from the couch. As she headed up the stairs, Robert stood to follow her.

"Robert, your sister is going to take a shower. Why are you following her?" Elliot did not want Robert to give Layla any weird ideas.

Layla covered her face with both her hands. "Robert Foster, have you been reading too many romance novels? What would prompt you to have such a horrible idea?"

"I'm just trying to help, Layla!" Robert said sincerely. "Go shower! Just don't be too upset. I've called in sick, and I have nothing else to do, so you can always come and talk to me!"

Layla glanced at her younger brother, both amused and moved by how much he cared for her.

She knew that both her parents and her siblings cared for her, and she should have been content with that.

Layla dragged herself back to her room and closed the door behind her before dialling Eric's number.
