His Eagle Eyes on Me

"Layla, Robert will only be in grad school for a maximum of two years. If he wants to pursue philosophy, let him!" Ivy spoke up for Robert. "Maybe he's not mentally prepared to assist Dad right now. Who knows, after two more years of studying, he might mature a lot!"

Ivy's words eased Layla's mood considerably. "That's true. Robert has always been spoiled, and since he hasn't experienced any hardships, he is slow to mature," Layla chuckled. "You're much more mature than him."

"Layla, Robert is actually great. He just has a more lively personality compared to us." Ivy continued advocating for Robert.

"Do you really have no intention of going to grad school?" Layla asked. "Actually, it's good for girls to pursue higher education. If you decide not to, believe me, a bunch of people will immediately start introducing potential boyfriends to you. Ivy, I don't want you to get married too quickly. You haven't fully enjoyed life yet, and I don't want you to enter into marriage prematurely."

"Layla, do you think marriage is bad?" Ivy asked, concerned that Layla might have an unhappy marriage.

"It's not that." Layla smiled and shook her head. "My life experiences are different from yours. I've had everything since I was little, so I have no regrets. I long for marriage, but you're different. There are many beautiful things in life that you haven't explored yet. If you enter marriage too early, it might confine you. For example, if you get pregnant after getting married, you won't be able to travel freely anymore."

Ivy understood her point. What Layla said had some truth to it, but Ivy had a different perspective. Due to her tumultuous past, she yearned for love and a happy family.

Now that she was living a happy life with her parents, memories of the events in Taronia would only occasionally resurface.

After the semester ended, she wanted to return to Taronia to pay her respects to her grandmother and tell her about her experiences over the past few years.

Although her grandmother had passed away, Ivy always felt like she was watching over her from heaven.

"I will definitely look out for you when you find a boyfriend. Besides me, Dad, Mom, and your two brothers will all be there to support you as well," Layla said with an indulgent look at Ivy. "In my opinion, there is no man in this world who deserves you. Even if there is, they are extremely rare."

Ivy knew Layla cared for her and said, "Layla, I'm not thinking about all that right now. I do feel that when fate comes, external conditions won't matter as much."

"If it's truly fate, nothing can stop it,

but there should still be some compatibility between you and your partner. With our family's

background, it definitely won't work if you end up with someone extremely poor. It's not that I think that social status is important, but I've been reading many stories lately about men who started off relying on the woman's family and then later achieved success, only to cheat and abandon their original partner for a mistress... Ivy, you must not support someone who is of poor character. They're not worth compromising your own standards for."

Ivy nodded. "If I meet someone I truly like, I will definitely introduce him to you."

"Great! Ivy, what type of boys do you like? Tell me, and if I come across someone suitable, I will introduce him to you," said Layla. The question Layla asked her was not something Ivy had thought about.

Ivy focused most of her attention on her studies, so no one wondered about her romantic life. However, since tvy was past twenty and was about to start working, it seemed like a good time to start dating.

Lucas' face instantly popped up in Ivy's mind.

"I like the tall and slender kind... I don't like guys that are too muscular." Ivy described her ideal man based on what she remembered of Lucas.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

"And? What about personality-wise?" Layla asked.

"Personality-wise... I don't know how to describe it..." It had been three years since Ivy last saw Lucas, so she did not know how he had turned out or if his personality had changed.

"I guess that sounds right. You won't know what you like until you meet them in person." Layla tapped her on the shoulder and said, "Just focus on thinking about what you want to do in the future! I don't think gur parents would want you to get married so soon."

Ivy smiled sheepishly. "I don't want to leave Mom and Dad so soon either."
