His Eagle Eyes on Me

"Woah! Shelly, I think he might like you. Why else would he get his mother to meet with you?" Courtney said. "His mother is no ordinary woman. Just search the name Avery Tate online and you will know that she is one of a kind."

"I know." Shelly had done far more than research Avery; she had also looked into Elliot and Layla.

Shelly could not possibly send her son off without knowing whether he would be well cared for.

If Hayden's family were involved in countless negative scandals, she would have never sent her son to them. It was precisely because she did not find anything bad about the family that gave her the confidence to entrust her son to them.

"Hahaha! You still have a chance, Shelly! If you don't want to marry Hayden Tate, you should at least ask his mother for some money. If you want to marry him, though, you can turn down anything they offer you. You are pretty and young. On top of that, you give birth to two children for their family..."

"Courtney, do you know just how big a gap there is between me and that family? You know the answer to that, so let's stop daydreaming," Shelly said. "How is Audrey doing? Should I pick her up now? "Audrey is fine! She isn't shy with strangers, and my mom loves her, so why don't you let her stay with us for a while longer?" Courtney offered.From NôvelDrama.Org.

"I can't ask that of you. A newborn is a handful, especially at night. I will pick her up later tonight after work," Shelly said. "The Fosters won't come to my apartment. After talking to Hayden today, I figured that he is a sensible man who wouldn't step out of line."

Courtney burst into laughter. "He is the youngest person on the list of wealthiest entrepreneurs in the world. I'm sure that men like him rarely spend time attending to private matters and focus solely on work." "Yeah. I'm going back to the cafe now, so I'm hanging up."

"Can I come along tomorrow when you meet with Avery Tate?" Courtney asked in excitement. "Don't worry. I will sit at a different table and I won't cause any trouble."

Shelly considered it and agreed.

The next day, Hayden brought Avery to the same cafe he met Shelly at.

Once Avery spotted Shelly, she told Hayden to leave and smiled at Shelly. "Hello, Shelly. I'm Hayden's mother, Avery Tate. You can call me Aunty Avery."

Shelly nodded. "Aunty Avery, you look so young."

"Maybe it's because my children never worry me!" Avery studied Shelly's face and said, "Has Hayden told you about our family?"

Shelly shook her head. "As long as you treat my son well, you don't have to explain anything to me."

"I should brief you through things so

that you can rest assured." Avery could sense that Shelly was an independent woman and was impressed that despite the Fosters' fame, Shelly had not once. considered trading her child for money.

"I have four children with Elliot. Two sons and two daughters. I've recently found my youngest daughter two years ago. Due to certain reasons, she didn't grow up by our side. You told Hayden that you were struggling financially, and my daughter suffered even more than you have. I'm telling you this because I want you to know that we don't discriminate. You are the mother of my grandson, and you always will be."

Avery's words moved Shelly.

"You can come over to see your son at any time. You will always be welcomed, Avery continued. "Hayden intends to shift his career back to Aryadelle. I've always

believed that a child can

grow

healthily if he has both his parents

by his side, so I want you to come by

to see him whenever you can."

"Thank you, Aunty Avery," Shelly said gratefully. "If you aren't appalled by me, I will gladly go and see him."
