His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2722

Eric had arrived the night before and rested the night at a hotel, so he had recovered from the jetlag.

"Go buy a thicker jacket later!" Layla glanced at the jacket he was wearing and noticed that it was a brand from Aryadelle.

The temperature in Cambrode was much lower than that of Aryadelle, and jackets from Aryadelle would not be enough to fend off the Cambrode's freezing cold. The temperature on the mountain would be lower than where they were, and Eric would fall sick if he went outside wearing just a thin jacket.

"Yeah," he said.

"There's a store near this hotel. I bought my jacket there." Layla arrived a few days earlier than he did and already knew her way around.

"Sure. Are you done with work?" he asked.

"All done. I would have stayed a few more days even if you hadn't come. The view here is great." She glanced out the window as she spoke.

It was white as far as the eyes could see. The glittering snow seemed the contain a magic that washed away all the unwanted thoughts in her head, turning her mind into a pure white field.

"Don't drink liquor that strong from now on, especially when you are out," Eric deadpanned when he recalled the way she slurred on the phone.

"I wasn't that drunk," she argued. "If I really was drunk, how could I have called you? I would have called my brother or my dad by mistake..."

What Layla said was reasonable.

After finishing his breakfast, Eric wiped his lips clean and said, "I told your mom that I was coming."

She lifted an eyebrow. "Why? I didn't want them to know, and you are that desperate to let them know?"

"We are just hanging out. We shouldn't be afraid to let them know," he said.

"Why would you tell her if we are just hanging out?" Layla shot him a glare. "Did you inform them every single time you were meeting me?"

He picked up his glass and took a sip of water.

There were not many people or cars on the road because of the cold weather, and since it was snowing, the driver drove slowly on the slippery road.

Five minutes later, the car stopped in front of the store Layla mentioned.

Layla got out of the car and said, "This is a rather famous local brand, and their clothes are pretty good for winter."

She had bought the down jacket she was wearing from that store, and he stared at it for a while before asking, "Why didn't you buy a longer jacket? Isn't it warmer that way?"

"I bought these trousers here as well. These are down trousers, and they are really warm as well. I didn't buy the long jacket because I look chubby in it."

"Keeping warm is more important under this sort of weather."

When they entered the store, Eric picked a long down jacket.
