Layla: “Dad, I haven’t talked about marriage with him yet! I just think he is very interesting and I can get to know
him. If I can’t fall in love with him, it’s good to be friends. Don’t you let me know more about the opposite s-e-x?”
Avery: “Mom supports you. There is no harm in meeting more motivated friends.”
Elliot: “Baby, you have to pay attention to safety. When you meet him, you must bring bodyguards. You can’t meet
him alone. Don’t meet him at night. Before you meet him, let me know.”
Avery: “…”
Layla: “Dad, I understand. I can still let Robert accompany me!”
Elliot: “Your brother is a bit weak. If something happens to you, I’m afraid he won’t be able to protect you. It’s
better for you to bring bodyguards.”
Layla did not say anthing. She left after eating.

college. Before he joined the job, I made an appointment to have dinner with him. Do you want to go with me
then?”
Elliot: “When is the appointment?”
“This Saturday. Because I know you want to meet him with me. So I specially chose Saturday.” Avery smiled, “Are
you going?”
Elliot: “You’ve said that, can I not go?”
“You can go, but you are not allowed to scold him, let alone do anything.” Avery warned.
“Why should I scold him?” Elliot said calmly, “I will do it only if he does not agree his confession.”
Layla was in the living room, listening to their conversation in the dining room.
Mom and Dad are going to see Eric on Saturday.
“Robert, you can go and find out later to see where Mom and Dad will meet Eric on Saturday.” Layla ordered in a
low voice.
“Sister, you still can’t let go of Uncle Eric?” Robert muttered, “Aren’t you afraid of embarrassment when you meet?
If I were you, I would definitely not go…”
“You little brat, you want revenge!” Layla said in a low voice, “Just say you can help me? If you don’t…”
Before Layla’s hand came over, Robert immediately surrendered: “I’ll ask Dad later! Dad hasn’t finished eating
right now! Just wait!”
“What game are you playing? Besides playing games all day long, do you do anything else?” Layla wanted to snatch
his phone.
Robert immediately jumped up from the sofa and said, “Sister! You misunderstood me! I only played two games
every day when I returned home! I don’t play at school!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLayla: “I get a headache when I see you playing games! Why doesn’t daddy play games? Why doesn’t brother play
games? I don’t play games either, but you like to play games!”
Robert, “Sister, let me relax! I have no addiction to playing games.”
“Have you ever thought about what to do after graduating from college? You are not a kid, so it’s time to plan.”
Layla was afraid that Robert would hinder the whole family, so she decided to teach Robert, “Don’t go to my
brother’s place during your winter and summer vacations. Now that the car has been repaired, I think you can go
to Dad’s company to exercise.”
Layla wanted Robert to grow up quickly, so that he could slowly take over Elliot’s work after graduating from
college, so that Elliot could retire early.
“Sister, let me go! I don’t want to think about such a heavy topic yet. Dad didn’t force me…”
“Because Dad doesn’t force you, you always feel that you still have a lot of time to play. Dad can support you now,
but he can’t protect you forever! If you don’t work hard, people will laugh at you in the future. It’s impossible to be
by your side all the time, let’s see what you do in the future!”
Robert suddenly stopped playing the game.
