His Eagle Eyes on Me

Chapter 2389

"Hmm... | know Layla is mature. She is no longer a child, which was why | was a little worried that she would have those sort of

feelings for Eric," Avery said, voicing her concerns.

This made Mrs. Cooper grow worried, too.

"Truth be told, I've never thought about it that way. But your worries are not illogical. Layla has truly grown up. Children nowadays

are exposed to the inteearlier. It makes sense that they would mature much earlier than people in the past. If you're worried

about it, you could talk to Layla," Mrs. Cooper said.

"I don't know how to bring it up. Eric is such a great person. Many girls like him, including me. | admire him a lot. I'm just afraid

that Layla, at her age, doesn't know how to differentiate the many types of 'like"..."

"Why don't you talk to Eric? | think Eric has set his boundaries. Even if Layla confesses to him, he will reject her." Mrs. Cooper felt

relieved when she said that. "You are Eric's savior. He won't mess about with Layla."

"I'm not worried about Eric doing anything to Layla. If | was, | would never have let him take Layla out to play in the past. I'm just

afraid that Layla's life will be affected by this." Avery shook her head. "I'm not going to think about this. It was Elliot who was

suddenly sad today that the children are all grown up and leaving us, which is why I've suddenly thought about this."

"Why would Master Elliot suddenly think that?" Mrs. Cooper was rather surprised.

"He is getting more and more sentimental lately. I'm guessing it's because of his age. He always needsto comfort him." Avery

smiled. "I find him quite adorable this way."

"I'm very happy for you two, seeing how your relationship with each other is getting better." Mrs. Cooper was sincerely happy for

them.

Avery pondered this for a few seconds before saying, "Before, even when | was with him, | would always have these nonsensical,

pessimistic thoughts. But this time, there are none. | feel extremely secure."

"That's good. That means that both of your hearts have settled down!"

After dinner, Avery went to check up on Elliot and Robert. Both father and son were so engrossed in playing chess that they

unwittingly ignored her.

So she went to Layla's room instead to see how Layla was progressing on her homework.

When Layla saw Avery coming in, she stretched lazily while holding her pencil.

"Mommy, | have lots of homework! It feels like | won't ever finish it."

"Go have sfood first, then cback and continue." Avery walked over to the desk to have a look at Layla's homework for

that night.

She still had two more papers to complete.

"Mommy, | don't have an appetite." Layla pouted. "Uncle Eric said that | have to ace my final exams, or he won't takeout to

play during winter break."

Layla brought up Eric, which made Avery's mind return to its earlier thought. She said, "Layla, | know that you like Uncle Eric, but, if

he gets a girlfriend, you can't cling to him that much anymore."

"Uncle Eric says that he's not looking for a girlfriend."

"He hasn't met anyone suitable yet. He might meet a suitable person one day." Avery studied Layla's expression. A bad feeling

rose in her heart.
