Eric didn’t expect Layla to seek marriage all over the world.
In his opinion, this was a bit absurd.
“Well, it was made with the help of his father and his brother. She also feels that she knows less of the opposite s-e-x, and wants to make more friends.” Avery explained, “How are you and your girlfriend? When do you get married?”
Eric: “Not yet. I thought she wanted to get married quickly.”
“If we can meet someone of the opposite s-e-x who is more compatible, we will not stop her even if she decides to get married in a flash.” Avery said, “Layla is 25 years old this year, and she has reached the marriageable age.”
After a few seconds of silence, Eric responded.
“Eric, you don’t have to feel guilty. I know you should like Layla, after all, you grew up watching her. Did Layla confess to you rashly, did it scare you?” Avery said lightly, “You can come out when you are free, and we will meet for dinner. No matter what, I don’t want to lose you as a friend.”
“Avery, thank you for understanding me. I was indeed frightened.” Eric has been holding back his mood during this time, and he didn’t know who to tell. Now Avery took the initiative to talk about it, so he opened up the conversation box, “I’m talking to you. Maggie is just a friend.”
“I guessed it. If you and Maggie had been on good terms long ago, you wouldn’t have kept it from us. But if you did this, even though Layla retreated, Layla knew in her heart that you were lying to her. You must know that the last time she met you, you still said you were single!”
“Avery, I can promise her anything, but this is the only thing I can’t promise her.” Eric wondered, “I can’t give her happiness.”
Avery: “Eric, you are really nice. I…”
“Avery, you don’t need to comfort me. I think clearly. Even if you and Elliot have no objection, I will not agree to her.” Eric knew everything, there were too many obstacles between him and Layla.
“You know I’ve always been more tolerant of children. I won’t stop them from doing anything, as long as they decide for themselves.” Avery explained, “In fact, no matter who blocks it, it’s up to Layla’s choice in the end. Elliot and Hayden are very hurt her.”
Eric didn’t know how to answer, and after a while, he said, “Then don’t tell her about Maggie and I pretending to be lovers.”
