Chapter 2556
When His Eyes Opened
Lilly asked that question every year to the Teacher.
She got the answer of the every year from the Teacher was negative.
âI donât know how Siena is doing.â Lilly sighed worriedly, âI thought she would call me, but she didnât call
me at all.â
âAfter so many years, Siena also has her own new life.â The Teacher comforted, âIn the future, if you
are destined, you will meet again.â
Lily: âUm.â
Layla bought several peace charms at the temple, one for her father and one for her mother. She kept
one for herself, and took the remaining two back to her brother Hayden and Robert.
âMom, what wish did you make this year? My New Yearâs wish is for the whole family to be safe and
healthy.â Layla asked.
Avery: âMomâs wish is the same every year.â
Layla: âI know what your wish is. Get Haze back, right?â
Avery shook her head: âMomâs wish is for our family to be happy and safe. Your fatherâs wish is to find
Haze.â
Layla: ââ¦â
Avery: âFor fear of being too greedy, the God will not agree.â
Layla couldnât help laughing: âMom, donât be too pessimistic. You might find Haze someday.â
Avery: âIâve been disappointed so many times that Iâve become numb. But I still have hope.â
Layla: âWell! The air on the mountain is so good. It feels like people have been purified when they
come to the mountain. The troubles in my heart are not so annoying.â
Avery: âYou can come out more in the future.â
âWell. Mom, Iâm a little scared.â Layla looked at the scenery in the distance, and expressed her worries,
âBrother helped me find a marriage, I agreed, and itâs not easy to refuse now. It feels like if I really want
to marry, then Iâll be famous. I donât want to be so high-profile.â
Avery listened quietly to her daughterâs mood.
Layla continued, âBut I think what my brother said is right. I should get to know more people of the
opposite s-e-x, so that I can open my eyes. So, I still have to seek marriage.â
âLayla, donât care too much about other peopleâs eyes. Donât worry about what others say about you,
as long as you live comfortably and happily.â Avery put her hands on Laylaâs shoulders.
Layla was a little taller than Avery. The mother and daughter were together and were often regarded as
sisters.
âMom, did Eric wish you New Yearâs greetings?â Layla asked suddenly after being silent for a few
seconds.
âHe sent me a message wishing me a happy New Year, but he didnât say that he would come to our
house to pay New Yearâs greetings.â Avery couldnât help laughing, âI guess he was also scared. He had
agreed to quit the circle and didnât dare to come to see me for dinner.â
âHmph! Heâs going to his girlfriendâs house to pay New Yearâs greetings! Isnât his girlfriend from
Bridgedale?â Layla snorted coldly.
Avery: âLayla, donât think about it. Letâs go see the kids in the backyard!â
Layla: âUm.â
â¦â¦
Santos family.
Today, relatives and friends came to pay New Yearâs greetings, and Eric played with a group of children
in the room.
No matter how old Eric was, he was always very attractive to children.
Children as young as 1 or 2 years old, up to 8 or 9 years old, all liked to cling to him.
So every year during New Year, as long as he was at home, his task was to take care of the children.
Eric also liked to take care of children, because if he did not bring children, he would be urged to marry
by his relatives.
Years ago, he officially announced his relationship. This year, relatives stopped rushing when they saw
him, but asked when they would bring their girlfriend back to see him.
