His Eagle Eyes on Me

Ivy had not imagined the situation to be so complicated and asked, "Why would Layla be in love with you, then?"

If Eric truly had been her father's enemy, it would not make sense for Layla to fall in love with him.

"I told you. They had fought all the time. Even when Hayden and Layla were children, they fought. During their school holidays, Mike would take care of Hayden while I looked after Layla." Eric smiled as he recalled the past. "Your parents made up in the end, and I stopped viewing your dad as the enemy."

Ivy nodded. "You've been with Layla for a long time, which means that she has been in love with you for a while. What about you? Do you like her?"

"Of course, I do, just not romantically. Your sister is a beautiful young lady, and anyone, no matter their age, would like her the moment they laid eyes on her."

Ivy agreed. "Not only is Layla pretty, but she is also really kind, too. I would like her if I was a man."

"Yeah," Eric muttered as he focused on the food.
