His Eagle Eyes on Me

Although Hayden was already in his twenties, he always felt like a child when facing his mother.

Hayden took a deep breath and said, "Mom, you don't need to pack my luggage. I have everything I need here."

"Oh, I see. If you need anything, just have someone deliver it." Avery's tone softened. "Hayden, on a more serious note, you two should live together if Shelly is okay with it. Only by spending time together day and night can you know if you and her are compatible. If you two get along well, you can bring Aiden over. It would be wonderful to live as a family of three!"

Hayden furrowed his brow slightly. "Mom, don't you like Aiden anymore?"

"Of course, I like him, but Aiden is ultimately your child. If you establish a new family, it's only natural to have him with you," Avery explained. "If we want to see Aiden, we can always go and visit, or you can bring him over to visit us when you have time. Our houses are so close to one another, so there won't be a problem."

Avery did want to part with Aiden, but she thought of Shelly and how Shelly would certainly not want to live with Hayden's family after marriage. Living with one's in-laws would be restrictive and would curtail Shelly's freedom.

Hayden felt a wave of emotions, unsure of how to respond to his mother's words.

Although he had decided to give it a try with Shelly, the thought of bringing the child to live with him left him feeling a bit empty inside.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

In the past, he had lived alone in Bridgedale and rarely felt lonely, nor did that lifestyle affect his mood.

However, after returning to his home country and living with his family, he had grown accustomed to the lively atmosphere at home. Therefore, the idea of moving out and living on his own felt odd, and he began to question whether he could manage a small family on his own.

"Mom, let's discuss these things later!" Hayden was still unsure if he and Shelly were compatible. "If I decide to live with her, I'll let you know."

"Alright. Let us know in advance! Your father and I can help you prepare for the wedding," Avery said. "I always worried about you getting married. I didn't expect you to become a father before your younger siblings graduate. Your efficiency is impressive, and I can't be more content."

Hayden remained silent.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed and Mrs. Taylor was discharged from the hospital.

During the past few days, Shelly had been taking care of her mother at the hospital, while Hayden stayed at the villa with Audrey.

Since the last conversation with his mother about needing space, Avery had stopped asking whether he would come home or not, and they lived their days in peace and relaxation.

Hayden spent time with his daughter every day and did not bother to think of his son, knowing that his son was well taken care of by his parents.

After Shelly brought her mother home, she immediately picked Audrey up. Having not seen her daughter for a week, Shelly missed her greatly.

"Sweetie, did you miss Mommy?

Mommy missed you so much! I

even dreamed about you. Mommy dreamed that you had grown up and that you were walking!" Shelly walked around the living room, holding her daughter.

Meanwhile, Hayden spoke to Mrs. Taylor. "How do you feel, Mrs. Taylor? Do you feel better?"

Mrs. Taylor smiled and said, "Much better. You've been working hard this week, taking care of the children. Your work must have been delayed by that, right?"

"It's fine. I can always work from

home. It didn't affect anything," Hayden said. "I've hired another servant to take care of Audrey. You need to rest and refrain from

beitet

overworking. Once Mr. Taylor arrives in May, let me know if you need anything else."

Mrs. Taylor was flattered and said, "Hayden, you have shown our family enough kindness, so we can't possibly ask for more! Even if you don't end up together with Shelly, I am forever grateful for what you a your family have done for us. We are lucky to have met you."

"My company has a teambuilding event in May, so I plan to take Shelly with me." Hayden decided to get to the point. "I want to spend more time with her."

Mrs. Taylor's eyes lit up and she immediately nodded. "Of course! Go ahead! The two of you should have fun. I will take great care of Audrey so you don't have to worry about a thing."
