His Eagle Eyes on Me

Tears rolled down Layla's face when she heard Hayden's voice, and she felt like the world was ending.

Her harmonious family was on the brink of falling apart.

Though she had married Eric, she had never once stopped considering herself a part of her family and thought that she had matured after getting married; however, this sudden event had made her realize that she was not strong enough.

After ending her call with Hayden, Layla accepted a piece of tissue paper from the servant.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"Layla, I know that you are upset, but your dad says that this baby isn't his. I don't think he is lying," the servant reiterated. "Why don't we wait for the DNA test results, hm?"

Layla dried her tears and turned her attention back to the baby.

Woken by the noise Layla had been making on the phone, the baby was looking around dazedly.

"But I think he looks just like Dad!" Layla felt increasingly upset as she studied the baby.

With there being so much resemblance between him and the baby, it was obvious Elliot was guilty even without the paternity test.

"But..." The servant glanced at the baby and realized that Layla was right.

Before Layla had suggested it, the servant had not noticed their resemblance; but the more she studied the baby, the more she saw how much he looked like Elliot. Layla lost her composure once again and broke down in tears.

"Layla, don't cry. It's already happened, so you need to stay strong. Your mom needs you and your siblings," the servant said in despair.

"How could Elliot make such a

mistake? He already has four children, and they are all so brilliant

He could have enjoyed his retirement in peace, so why would he cheat on Avery?" the servant thought.

Layla felt as though she was suffocating and stormed out of the room and into the living room, where Elliot was waiting for the lawyer and the DNA specialist to arrive.

"Dad!" Layla roared in rage. "There's

no one else here, so why don't you just tell me the truth? Is there

something about this family that has upsetted you?! Are you upset that Hayden moved to Bridgedale, despite how talented he is?

unreliable, and I can't help you9u

your company? Is that why you went and got yourself another child out there?!"

Startled, Elliot stood from the couch abruptly. "Layla, do you really think so lowly of me?" His brows furrowed.

Layla straightened. "I didn't before, but with all the evidence in front of my eyes, how am I supposed to trust you?!"

"Evidence? Are you talking about the baby? I only took him in to prove that I'm innocent!" Elliot had been thinking hard and could not conceive a possibility where the child could be his because he had spent almost every day with Avery.

Even when he had traveled overseas for business, he would call Avery every night.

On top of that, he had not met another woman who could move his heart like Avery, and since he had not slept with another woman, he could not possibly have an illegitimate child. "Dad, aren't you ashamed of yourself?" Layla panted. "That baby looks exactly like you! Haven't you taken a closer look at him?"

Elliot was confused as he could see how the child resembled him.
