His Eagle Eyes on Me

"You should just talk to her! If you don't know how much you should pay her, you can give her an allowance each month to make sure that she doesn't struggle," Avery said. "After all, the child would be upset if

he grows up to find that his mother has been suffering."

"Mom, if the child doesn't get to interact with his mother, he won't feel anything toward her. Just look at Dad. He doesn't feel anything for his biological mother," Hayden argued.

Avery stared at her son in shock.

"Mom just put the baby down! Aren't you tired of carrying him around?"

"I'm fine. He isn't sleeping right now so I want to interact with him more. It would be boring for him to lay in bed all the time."

"You can get a stroller and put him in it then." Hayden had carried the baby before and knew that he was quite heavy. While it might be fine to hold the baby for a while, one would definitely feel sore if they had to carry the baby all the time.

"Yeah. Your dad and I are going out shopping later!"

Avery and Elliot had not been able to sleep the night before and started planning all the things they wanted to do and buy for the baby. Unfortunately, they had not decided on a name, so they could not file the documents, such as a birth certificate, for a baby.

"You can make a list and get the driver to buy those things for you," Hayden proposed.

He did not want his parents to tire themselves as he was worried that they might collapse if they were to go on a shopping spree despite not having much sleep last night.

"We need to pick things for the baby on our own. Just relax and meet his mother. Make sure you keep your temper in check. Do you know how difficult it is to go through pregnancy and give birth? She made you a father and didn't complain or ask for anything in return, so that already makes her a rare gem," Avery said. "Why don't I come with you? I'm worried that you might say the wrong thing and upset her."

"Mom, I'm going alone. You are far too understanding. I'm worried that she might ask for too much. I didn't ask her to give birth to my child. Though I'm willing to compensate her for the hardship she suffered, I'm not happy that she had hid her pregnancy from me."

"Maybe she didn't mean to keep it from you. Maybe she just couldn't get in touch with you."

"How did she get the baby delivered to this mansion, then? I don't know what she is thinking." Hayden had mainly insisted on meeting with Shelly to understand what she was thinking.

"Just be more polite when you talk

to her then. Don't scare her away Avery reminded him and prepared to headout since Elliot had finished his breakfast

"Is the mall open this early?"

It was half past seven in the morning, and malls could not possibly be open at this time.

"We are going to the hospital," Avery said. "We are taking the baby for a body check. By the way, think of a name for your son when you have the time."

on?

"Mom, are you this certain that this child is mine?"

"You are about to meet with his mother, so aren't you certain at this point?" Avery retorted and Hayden was instantly rendered speechless.

"You should name the baby," he said, not knowing what to name his child as he had never expected to be a father at his age.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"Are you really not going to name your son?" Avery asked. "This might be your one and only child..."

"Mom, I don't know how to." Hayden did care about the child. "You are more experienced."

"Your dad really wants to name the baby, so why not let him do it? If the name he decides on isn't good enough, I will step in," she said. Hayden trusted his mother and nodded.

Avery and Elliot headed out with the baby, and Hayden sat on the couch, waiting for Shelly to send him her location.

The process of waiting was devastating.

According to what he had been told

so far, Shelly was struggling financially but seemed to be a reasonable woman; on top of that, she knew who he was and did not have the intention of gettingo

anything out of him.

Since Shelly used to work as a reporter and was working in a cafe at the moment, he concluded that she was not as well off as she claimed to be.
