"If you don't wantto say things like that, you should stop doing the same." Layla grabbed his hand and stared into his eyes. "Live in the moment and don't overthink. So long as we are happy when we are alive, we shouldn't worry about what happens after our death." Eric occasionally thought that he was not as liberated in his thinking as Layla was. He would regularly worry about everything and lead a life filled with struggles.
"I've thought things through, or I wouldn't have made the announcement on social media," he said calmly. "Marriage doesn't have to last forever, anyway. We can always get a divorce if you grow tired of me." Layla did not feel consoled at all, and if Eric was still not recovering, she would have slapped him across the face for saying such a thing on their first day of marriage.

"After your public announcement, I've been receiving tons of messages." He covered her with a blanket and said, "What kind of messages?" "They are mainly from former classmates and friends, askingif we are really married and whether I can invite them to the wedding... Maybe they are your fans."

That should sum things up." Layla did not like to oveplicate things, and it was mostly because of the environment she grew up in.
Her parents and brother have always been protective of her since she was a child, and people who grew up in such an environment tended to be more simplistic and innocent.
"You make it sound so simple." "My parents are more than happy to help with the wedding. They can help with stuff like menus and souvenirs for the guests... If you don't want to deal with the minor details, I will get my parents to handle it, and you just need to set the thfor the wedding." "It's our wedding, so I should plan it on my own." Eric did not enjoy the idea of troubling others.
