Robert and Ivy immediately shook their heads.
"I'm specifically talking about you, Robert. I opened your gift as soon as I went in. You are lucky that it's not anything inappropriate, or I would have had your head." Layla took a sip of water.
"Layla, don't you trust me at all? With the condition that Eric is in, why would I give him something inappropriate?" Robert argued. "How did the conversation go? Is he not willing to move into your place?"
"He didn't say yes, but neither did he say no," Layla said casually. "He wants me to give him more time to think."
"You are great at this, Layla! If he says that he will consider it, it means he is wavering." Robert knew that his elder sister had the advantage.
"If I'm great at this whole thing, I would already be in a relationship with him." Layla used to be hot-headed, but Eric had made her a better person. "Thank you, both of you. I saw your gifts, and I know that you are trying to help me."
"It's all Ivy's idea," Robert said. "She is such a sweet little girl. She can't stand watching you struggle and tried her best to help... If I date someone in the future and it doesn't go well, I'm going to get her to help me out as well."
Ivy blushed. "Robert, I'm definitely going to help you if that happens. I just don't think I'll be of much help. Besides, you are so handsome, so you won't have any issues."
Robert's ego was boosted by her compliment, and he said, "I will help you out when you start looking for a boyfriend as well."
"It's still too early for me!" Ivy lowered her head to flip through the photo album.
"What's your plan for this evening? If you have nothing else to do, come shopping with me!" Layla said. "I need to redecorate my house or buy a bigger apartment altogether."
