His Eagle Eyes on Me

"That's nice! Aiden... what a cute name!" Avery was satisfied with the name. "Is that a nickname?"

Shelly shook her head. "It's not. That's his name. You can make one up if you want to."

"Hahaha! I used to have so many ideas when I named my own children! I didn't feel pressured because they are my children, but naming a grandchild is entirely different," Avery said. "Why don't you give it more thought when you get home?"

"Sure."

Avery introduced Shelly to the owner of GD Patisserie, and after a brief introduction, the owner started to teach Shelly how to bake.

"A new cafe usually only requires one or two signature cakes at first, and that ought to attract enough repeat customers. Of course, apart from taste, service is important as well. I will teach you two types of cakes today. One is a cupcake that has been really popular for the past twenty years, and one is the newest product that we've launched..."

Shelly paid full attention, and time flew.

Soon, it was noon, and since they had occupied the kitchen the entire morning, they were scheduled to have lunch outside.

"Shelly, what exactly is going on between you and my brother? He won't tell us anything!" Layla asked after arriving at the restaurant and placing her order. "You can tell us. We won't say anything to Hayden." Shelly felt a little shy, as she could not possibly say that she had been bewitched by Hayden's looks and had ended up sleeping with him.

"My brother said he drank too much,

but I know he can hold his liquor, so he can't have slept with just anyone, even if he was drunk. He's been drunk before, and it's not like he just sleeps around whenever he has too much to drink! I suspect that he fell indove with you at first sight," Layla guessed.

Avery was rather convinced by this argument, as she had been drunk in the past before as well. Most drunk people went straight to sleep, so it was unlikely that Hayden had been merely looking for random women to satisfy his needs at the time.

"No, Layla. It's not like that," Shelly denied. "He isn't in love with me. We don't even know each other."

"If you two don't know each other,

why would you have a child together?" Layla grinned from ear ear. "My brother is picky, and because normal women can't his eyes, he hasn't even beemin a relationship before!"

"Huh?" Shelly was surprised to learn that about Hayden and realized that that might have been the reason why Hayden had figured that she was the mother right away.

"Shelly, I think Hayden likes you, too. Maybe he just hasn't realized it yet. If he didn't like you at all, he wouldn't have made a move on you," Avery explained.

Avery was curious about Hayden and Shelly as well and wondered if there was a need to bring them closer.

"Aunty Avery, has he not told you the whole story?" Shelly asked in confusion.

Surprised, Avery said, "The whole story? He hasn't said anything!"

"Oh... Maybe he is embarrassed," Shelly guessed. "He was drugged."

Everyone was instantly rendered speechless.
