His Eagle Eyes on Me

"Fine! Since you want to take Aiden out to play, then go ahead! You should spend more time with him anyway." Avery thought her son's firm determination to take the child out meant that his paternal love had awakened.

"Yes. Mom, you can go out and have fun with Dad tomorrow. It's been a long time since you two had some alone time," Hayden considerately suggested.

Avery burst into laughter. "So, you're taking the child out just so we can have some alone time?"

"You got it. I'll take Mom out tomorrow." Elliot realized that he and his wife had not had a relaxing time together in a while and felt they needed some quality time.

Hayden did not want his mother to overthink things, so he simply said, "You can interpret it that way."

Everything aside, he wanted his parents to get some good rest.

"Where do you plan to go tomorrow?" Avery asked about her son's plans. "The park is too crowded. The doctor advised against going to crowded places as it increases the chances of Aiden falling sick. In that case, you'll have to choose an open space area with few people."

"Well, I'm planning to drive him around tomorrow, but we won't go to crowded places," Hayden replied.

After discussing the matter with his family, Hayden messaged Shelly, informing her that everything was settled and he would bring Aiden to meet them tomorrow.

Shelly immediately replied. [Great! I'm so excited! The siblings are finally going to meet again!]

Hayden did not respond to her message.

After waiting for a while, Shelly put down her phone and went to tell her mother the good news.

Mrs. Taylor was also thrilled. "That's wonderful! We're so lucky to have met someone like Hayden! Not only does he not try to take our child away, but he is also allowing her to stay in this amazing villa for free. Oh! I'm so excited that I can burst any moment now."

Shelly sat next to her mother. "Mom, are you overthinking things again?"

"How can I not? I'm sure that you must feel moyed as well, right? You and Hayden aren't officially married, yet you're living in his house. Have you considered what he is going to do with you when he gets married? Even if his wife can't openly do anything to you, what if she secretly plots against you? We're not rich and well-connected like them," said Mrs. Taylor, expressing her concerns.

"Mom, have you been watching too many dramas? Shelly could not help but chuckle. "Even if Hayden does find a wife in the future, I should have enough money to buy a house by then. Once I have a new house, I'll take you and Audrey with me, and We'll live there. We definitely won't keep staying here."

"It's good that you understand the situation. You still need to work hard and not rely on others to achieve success. Trusting yourself is better than relying on anyone else," Mrs. Taylor said.

"I know that. So, for now, please stop

thinking too much. Let things take their natural course. Besides, I think things are pretty good now. At least don't have to worry about Audrey being discovered by him anymore. Finally, I can focus on my work!" Shelly stretched and yawned. "Being rich is so comfortable! Staying in such a big house and having someone to care for us, it is almost like living in a fairy tale."

"You still need to earn money to buy a big house of your own," Mrs. Taylor emphasized.

"I know, I know! Mom, you should go to bed early..." Shelly stood up, suddenly remembering something. "Oh, by the way, I want Dad and my brother to come over during the holidays in May. Can you talk to them about it?"

"How can that work? Your father smokes. What if he makes the house smell bad?" Mrs. Taylor said.

Shelly blushed. "Mom, do you really dislike Dad that much? When he smokes, we can ask him to smoke in the yard. If we're going to stay here for the next six months, we can't just forbid them from coming over altogether. I'll let Hayden know, and he won't refuse."

"You are becoming more and more shameless."

"It's not that big a deal! Dad and Samuel won't be staying here for long, anyway. I know what I'm doing."

"Very well! Let's wait until we get used to the environment here before inviting them over! I haven't been able to sleep well lately. All of this feels like a dream..." Mrs. Taylor said.

Shelly chuckled. "Mom, our lives have just started to get better!"

That night, Shelly struggled to sleep.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Just as her mother had said, she felt like she was living a dream and the more she got to know Hayden, the more attracted she was to him.
