Chapter 2806
When His Eyes Opened
âLayla, I feel tired when you force me like this.â Eric confessed to her, âI didnât save you because of you.
If it was Hazel, Robert or Hayden, I would be the sameâ¦â
âI know. You are going to say that because my mother saved you, you saved us to repay my motherâs
life-saving grace.â Layla blocked the rest of his words, âI donât want to marry you just because you
saved me. Before you saved me, I wanted to marry you. Donât think that I did it purely because of guilt.
Iâm not a fool. If I donât like you, even if you save me ten times, I wonât marry you!â
Eric looked at Laylaâs firm eyes, and as Laylaâs words echoed in his ears, he lowered his head in
shame.
âAnyway, you think you wonât live long, so you can accompany me during the last period of your life!â
Layla said, âJust treat me as the last time you pet me.â
In the living room.
Hazel and Robert read the album, and then returned the album to Ericâs father.
âAre you still looking at it? There are other albums of his at home.â Mr. Santos asked enthusiastically.
Mrs. Santos was busy in the kitchen, and Mr. Santos stayed here to take care of the two children.
They were both sweet and sensible, like Layla.
âOkay!â Hazel responded in one gulp.
Mr. Santos immediately brought a few more photo albums.
They were all Ericâs photo albums.
Because Eric was good-looking, he took many photos of him since he was a child.
âUncle, your family was in good condition before?â Hazel asked.
âItâs not particularly good. Our familyâs conditions improved after Eric entered the entertainment
industry. As soon as he entered the industry, he became popular.â Mr. Santos couldnât hide his pride
when he talked about this. âAt that time, his monthly income was equivalent to our annual income. So
my mother and I lost our jobs a long time ago.â
Hazel nodded: âBrother Eric became popular before graduating from university, right?â
âWas it a scout? I donât seem to have heard much about it now. Itâs all about drafts or something⦠We,
Eric, were discovered by a scout while we were shopping. Back then we thought that scout was a liar!â
As Mr. Santos said, he laughed, âBecause Eric likes to perform and wants to be a star, so I let him try it.
I didnât expect it to happen.â
Hazel and Robert listened with gusto.
Mr. Santos: âEric gave us all the first money he earned. Because he was not very old at that time, he
listened to us moreâ¦â
âIs he not listening now?â Hazel asked casually.
âHaha, heâs listening now too. To have such an excellent son, my whole life is worth it.â Mr. Santos said,
and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the door of Ericâs room open, so he didnât continue.
Layla came out alone.
Mr. Santos saw Layla coming out alone, and immediately asked, âHas Eric rested?â
âWell, Iâll let him lie down and rest.â Layla replied.
âItâs good. His mother gets nervous when she sees him getting out of bed. Haha!â Mr. Santos said with
a smile, and walked towards the kitchen, âIâll go to the kitchen to help your auntie. Layla, you play with
your younger siblings.â
âOkay.â Layla went to sit next to her younger siblings.
After Mr. Santos entered the kitchen, Robert looked at Layla and teased: âSister, you look like the
mistress of this family.â
âI am not the mistress of this family. This is his parentsâ home.â Layla picked up the kettle on the table
and poured herself a glass of water, âI saw the gift you gave him. Why didnât you tell me in advance? It
was so mysterious, I thought you were trying to play a prank!â
