His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2712

[Okay. What are you having for lunch?] Avery typed.

Ivy took a photo of her lunch: pasta and mushroom soup.

Avery immediately replied worriedly. [Darling, is that really enough for you?]

Avery, too, had not watched what she ate back when she was a university student, but her standards for her children were different.

[I ate too much during breakfast this morning, so I’m not hungry right now. I will have a more balanced meal later at night when I get home.]

[What do you want for dinner, then? I will tell the servants to make whatever you want.]

[Anything. No matter what, home-cooked meals are the best.]

Avery's lips curled into a smile as she read her daughter's message.

Ivy was a sweet and independent daughter, and Avery did not need to worry about her at all.

After a while, Avery sent her another message. [Ivy, do you think your dad and I have been out of line for stopping your sister from pursuing the man she wants? I want to hear the truth.]

She had wanted to discuss this with Ivy face-to-face but could not wait any longer.

Ivy immediately replied. [Mom, let's talk on the phone! I'm done with lunch.]

[Sure.]

Ivy stepped out of the canteen and called Avery.

"I've just spoken to your dad, and I think that Layla went all the way to Cambrode because she is upset and wants to be alone," Avery said. "I feel kind of bad about it. Things shouldn't have gone this way."

"Mom, don't be upset. Layla said that she wants to be stronger. She doesn't blame you or Dad. She told me so herself," said Ivy, consoling Avery. "I don't think you are wrong. Uncle Eric might not like Layla at all, or he would not have let her face you and Dad on her own."
