Chapter 2696
Maggie curiously asked: “You asked Eric, how did he answer you?”
“He told me I shouldn’t worry about his business.” Layla felt that Eric didn’t answer
directly because he didn’t want to tell the truth and didn’t want to lie.
“Oh. What do you think about the relationship between me and him?” Maggie wanted to
hear Layla’s thoughts. She felt that Layla probably guessed it, so she made this special
trip.
“I don’t think you two are in a relationship. If you two are really in a relationship, it’s
impossible for him not to tell me before he made an official announcement. Miss Maggie,
before I confessed to him, I asked him if he had a girlfriend. I-I only confessed to him on
the premise of confirming that he has no dating partner.” Layla said her analysis.
“Oh…that’s indeed a bit of a flaw!” Maggie laughed.
“Miss Maggie, what do you mean?” Layla was confused, “Are you admitting that the two of
you are not really talking? He asked you to help play his girlfriend?”
“Layla, if you got an affirmative answer, what do you want to do?” Maggie asked curiously,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“As far as I know, your parents probably won’t accept Eric. If you insist on doing what you
want, you will make Eric very uncomfortable.”
“I will solve the problem by myself, and I will not let Eric face my parents alone.” Layla
said firmly, “Miss Maggie, can you answer my question first?”
Maggie’s face turned pale for a while.
It’s too late to call or send a message to Eric to ask what to do now.
Layla came here specially to block her answer.
Maggie: “It’s exactly what you think. I like Eric very much, but he doesn’t like me. To be
more precise, he regards me as a good friend. So he asked me to do this.”
Layla got this answer, and it didn’t take long. Unexpectedly, but with reproach: “Isn’t he
afraid of delaying your search for a partner? He came up with such a bad idea.”
“I’m not in a hurry to get married.” Maggie smiled, “At my age, I’m not in a hurry anymore.
If I can meet the right person, I will get married. If I can’t meet the right person, I will live
on my own.”
Layla: “Then you two are a bit similar. I don’t think he is in a hurry.”
Maggie: “Because he doesn’t want to settle down.”
“Miss Maggie, thank you for telling me so frankly.” Layla said gratefully, “Will he blame
you if he knows?”
Maggie shook her head: “No way. Even if I didn’t tell you, wouldn’t you have guessed it?”
Layla: “Well. I guessed it a long time ago. He can’t hide it from me.”
Soon, the two walked to the coffee shop.
“Miss Maggie, let me buy coffee!”
Maggie: “Okay! If you can convince your parents, I will still congratulate you.”
“It’s very difficult.” Layla didn’t dare to be 100% sure, “But I still want to try my best. I
can’t give up.”
Maggie: “It seems really hard.”
Layla: “Isn’t there a saying that ‘nothing is difficult in this world, as long as you are willing
to give up'”
“It makes sense. I also want to learn this spirit.” Maggie said.
“Miss Maggie, you are so good, there are many men chasing you, right?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaggie: “Yes! I fell in love with Eric at first sight. When we were on a blind date, because
of some misunderstandings, he didn’t see me, but I saw him. He’s so dazzling! After I’ve
seen him, it’s hard to catch my eye when I look at other men.”
Layla: “Yeah.”
“Have you ever been in love?” Maggie asked.
Layla shook her head.
“It’s really rare. It stands to reason that there should be more and better suitors around
you, but you have never been in a relationship.” Maggie sighed.
Layla: “The reason is very simple. I like mature men, but the people around me are
basically people of the same age.”
After drinking coffee, Layla and Maggie returned to Mike’s residence, and then began to
buy air tickets back home.
Mike: “Can’t you stay with me for one more day? It’s hard to come here, and you’re going
to leave without sleeping?”
Mike wanted to stay with Layla.
