His Eagle Eyes on Me

Shortly after, Robert came downstairs.

"Don't you have classes today?" Hayden asked.

"No. Hayden, don't you have something to do this morning?" Robert yawned. "Where's your son?"

"The paternity test results aren't released yet," Hayden reminded him.

"But we all know that's your son! I've never touched a woman before, so I can't create a baby out of thin air," Robert said with amusement. "Hayden, are you still struggling to accept reality?" Hayden ignored his brother's mockery.

"Hayden, it's normal for a man your age to be a father, so why are you having such a hard time accepting this? I would be quite happy to know that I've become a father! Our parents have been dreaming of having grandchildren, after all," Robert said with a smile, not understanding why Hayden seemed unhappy.

"Eat your breakfast," Hayden said, not wanting to continue the discussion.

Robert was a child in Hayden's eyes, and he would remain so no matter how old he became.

Robert had never been through hardship and grew up to be optimistic and cheerful.

Half an hour later, Shelly sent Hayden her location, and Hayden headed out immediately.

Shelly sat in a cafe making a backup of Audrey's photos before deleting Audrey's photos of her phone. Sometime later, a shadow loomed over her, and she looked up to find herself looking into Hayden's eyes.

"Hello," Shelly said after setting her phone down.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Hayden sat down on the couch across from her. "What's your name?"

"Shelly Taylor," she said.

"Why didn't you contact me when you realized that you were pregnant?" Hayden continued, completely forgetting about what his mother had told him.

"Why would I?" Shelly retorted after a few moments of hesitation. "What we had a one-night stand. We ought to all return to our own lives after that."

"Do you do that a lot with other men?" Hayden asked sharply.

Shelly blushed. "I don't but that was a one-night-stand without a doubt

We are from different worlds, and

there's no reason for me to reach out to you."

"Are you saying that you want nothing to do with me?"

Shelly nodded without hesitation. "Mr. Tate, the baby is healthy. If you plan on taking him to Bridgedale, I want you to treat him well. I won't bother you. If the child wants to meet me, I am more than willing to do so. With your approval, of course."

"The baby will stay in Aryadelle, and my parents will take care of him," Hayden said.

"Oh... Do your parents like him?" she asked.

"Yeah. They are taking him to a hospital for a body check today," he said. "I can pay you for giving birth to my child."

"I don't need it. I might not be

wealthy, but I have no issues making

ends meet." She paused and handed Hayden the menu. "I even have enough money to buy you a cup of coffee."
