His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2789

He wanted to give Layla whatever she wanted and that was the way he had been treating Layla all long since she was a child.

"You know my condition," Eric deadpanned. "You wouldn't want Layla to marry me, only to be widowed later. She would be in far more pain then. Just talk some sense into her and make her marry a normal guy. She will forget about me at some point," Eric said.

Elliot agreed with Eric that Layla would suffer no matter what and it was normal to think that it would be better to cut the losses early.

While others could look at the matter objectively, Elliot could not do so and all he knew was that he did not want to upset Layla.

"My wife told you everything." Elliot stared into Eric's eyes. "We won't try to talk Layla into giving up. If that's what you want, you will have to talk to her. She is twenty-five, not two, or five. She gets to make the calls about her own life."

Eric had not expected such a sudden change to Elliot's view on the matter.

"Don't look at me like that." Elliot scowled. "If you have a child, you will know how difficult it is to be a father."

"I might never be a father."

"But you are someone's child. You are your own person, not your parents' puppet. Your parents have been urging you to get married, and have you listened to them at all? If you can't obey your parents a hundred percent of the time, why would you want us to make Layla do something that she doesn't want to?" Elliot stood from his chair. "Do you want to talk to her? I can get Layla here."

"No. I want some time to think alone," Eric said.

Elliot strode out of the room.
