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."

Meanwhile, in Cambrode, after adjusting to the time difference, Layla met with the client, as per her original schedule.

The client she was meeting wanted to be the exclusive retailer for all the products produced by Tate Industries that were going to be sold in Cambrode. Layla was meeting with her to discuss the details such as the potential of bringing on board other retailers, the retail prices, and the incentives for sales.

The client had been sincere and eager in forming a partnership, so they agreed to most of Layla's requests and the meeting ended shortly after.

Once the contract was signed, all the follow-up would be carried out by the others.

"Ms. Tate, since you are already here, you should stick around for a few more days. The snow here looks beautiful."

"Yeah. I've made travel plans before coming," Layla said with a smile.

"You have to go to the valley for snowboarding. I've personally been to many countries, but the valley here still provides the best snowboarding experience."
