"La, don''t forget what I told you. Be back home by six," said Elliot. "Did you take the bodyguards with you?" La said, "Dad, can I be back home by seven? I have to buy Andrew dinner, after all. How can I be back in time?"


    Elliot hesitated.


    Eric said, "Six is indeed a little early. Seven isn''t considered toote as well."


    La and Elliot looked at Eric at the same time. Eric was helping La.


    La furrowed her brows. "You sure are happy to see me going on dates with other men?"


    Eric said calmly, "If you can find a great partner, I''ll be happy for you."


    When Andrew heard what Eric said, he replied without hesitation, "Thank you! Uncle Eric, I''ll do well."


    Eric looked at Andrew. "You''re only one among fifty-two candidates. If you want La to like you, sincerity is the most important thing."


    Andrew replied, "I understand. I really like Aryadelle. When I was young, my father came to Aryadelle to work. He had taken me along. Later, I returned to Aryadelle on my own. I really liked the weather here. It has all four seasons, not like Creolia, which is constantly cold all year round..."


    What Andrew meant was the same as the other emails Avery saw with the words ''willing to marry into the family''. Avery could not bear to see her daughter living so far away from them. If Andrew were to stay in Aryadele, it would make Avery very happy.


    After Eric and Andrew chatted for a while, La was full. She put her cutlery down.


    "Andrew, let''s go!" La hade there to make Eric angry. Turns out, Andrew and Eric got along very well.


    When Andrew ced his cutlery down, he did not forget to exchange contacts with Eric.


    La stood by the side, looking at them exchanging contacts. She tried hard to maintain a calm expression, but her eyes gave her away.


    Avery looked at how conflicted her daughter looked. She wanted tough.


    After La took Andrew away, Avery changed the topic. "Eric, are you reporting to the college on Monday? Are you nervous? Will students secretly take photos of you while


    you''re teaching?"


    "I''m mentally prepared. I have to take this step no matter what." Eric got the waiter to take away La''s and Andrew''s dishes.


    "How long are you nning to teach? Did the contract specify?" Avery asked.


    "I signed on for two years."


    "Are you paid?" Avery asked with a smile.


    "Yes. I told them to pay me the same amount that they would pay a normal music lecturer, but the school insists on paying me the sry of a music professor," said Eric. If you want to see, I''ll take a picture once I get my pay."


    "Haha! Okay!"


    Elliot saw how happy they were. He was a little jealous.


    "You two seem to like Andrew a lot." Elliot ended their conversation. He steered the conversation onto a topic that would include him.


    Avery said, "I think he isn''t too bad. My first impression of him is that he is rather innocent."


    Eric said, "I think he''s not bad, too. His looks and character are alright."


    Elliot said, "Why do I think that he isn''t that great?"


    Avery said "Hubby, La clearly doesn''t find him interesting. If she


    was


    s really interested in him, she would not have brought him here."


    Elliot said, "What you mean is that La still wants to marry Eric?"


    Avery and Eric were speechless.


    Eric had done his best to divert the topic, but how did the conversationnd on him?Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.
