That evening, Avery saw Elliot and the designer in the living room when she arrived home.
The designer was here to take Avery's measurements.
"I want a pretty dress, too, Mommy." Layla gazed enviously at Avery.
"I’ve bought so many pretty dresses for you before, sweetie. There are still plenty of them that you haven't worn yet!" Avery said.
"That’s different." Layla frowned.
"How so? " "Daddy showed me the wedding gown you'll be wearing. It's a lot prettier than any of my dresses," Layla said, then suddenly smiled and said, "Daddy said he'll get me the same dress as yours."
Avery turned to Elliot. :Are you sure you want to get your daughter a wedding gown?
Elliot was embarrassed. "As long as she's happy."
Avery felt that there was something very wrong about his behavior.
First of all, the wedding gown was long. It would be difficult for Layla to move around in such a bulky dress.
Second of all, how could he keep giving in to the children?
"How could you keep going with whatever she wants? Would you act the same way if she simply picked someone to marry in the future?" Avery had to correct Elliot's mistaken idea of a child's upbringing.
He had not even moved in yet, but he was already giving in to Layla's every will.
Would he not end up spoiling her rotten after he moved in?
Avery’s question made Elliot frown.
Layla was still a little girl in his eyes. He never thought about her future marriage.
For now, he could not accept his daughter getting married to anybody at all. Just the thought of Layla living with another man in the future made him feel awful.
"Layla can’t fate before she turns eighteen, and she's not marrying anyone before she turns twenty five." Elliot decided on these rules after a moment’s consideration. "She wouldn't be mature enough before she turns eighteen and would be easily cheated. She wouldn't be completely mature before she turns twenty five either.
