His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2725

Layla was clearly not interested in the snacks he bought. "I don't like these."

"You didn't eat enough during breakfast," Eric said. "There are no expensive snacks here. You can eat these if you get hungry later."

"I never said that I want expensive snacks," she retorted. "I just don't like snacks in general."

"You like fruits, but they don't sell those here." Eric knew what she liked but was not sure if her preferences had changed.

"I wouldn't buy fruits even if they sell them here. It's too heavy. It's not like we are spending the night there." She glanced at the line in front of her. "It's quite fast to get there by cable car. It's really cold up there, so anyone who manages to stay there for over half an hour should consider themselves heroes."

"Have you bought the tickets for the return trip?" Eric studied the cable car moving in the distance.

"I bought round-trip tickets."

Soon, it was their turn, and Layla took off her gloves to unlock her phone and showed her reservation to the staff.

The staff immediately handed her four tickets, two for going up and two for the return trip.

Layla handed two tickets to Eric, and the two entered the area to board the cable car. There was a line there as well.

"Look over there." Layla saw someone climbing up the mountain on the other side.

"You will need an experienced tour guide to do that," Eric said. "I was in a movie which had one such scene, and I had to train with the local tour guide for a really long time."

"Do you still remember what you learnt?" she asked curiously.

He shook his head. "You would need professional gear, a professional guide and experience to do that... Filming and actually climbing a mountain are two different things."

"Oh... I've never been interested in outdoor activities, but maybe I will be in the future. Uncle Mike said that people change when they enter different stages of their lives," Layla said. "He said he used to hate animals, but he loves them now and even bought specific tools to hatch eggs at home."

Eric seemed dumbfounded.

She turned to look out the glass and saw the snow that covered the mountain glittering under the sunlight.

Everything looked so majestic, and all emotions felt small at that moment.

Sometime later, they arrived at a large tract of even relatively flat ground. It looked as though someone had made a sharp cut in the middle of the mountain, creating an extreme contrast with the steep slopes surrounding it.

Eric tapped Layla on the shoulder. "We are here."

She sobered. "So soon?"

"Yeah." He took her hand and led her out of the cable car. "There are a lot of people taking photos here. Why don't I take a few for you?"

He was concerned that they might not be in the mood to take photos after their talk.
