His Eagle Eyes on Me

Shelly considered and said, "Aunty Avery, I want to keep working." "Sure! What do you plan to do with the twins, then?" Avery asked.

Shelly grabbed Hayden and said, "I will let him decide the rest."

Avery smiled at Hayden. "Hayden, you haven't thought of what to do yet, have you?"

"If we stay here with you and Dad, Shelly's mother won't be able to take care of Audrey. She's helped take care of Audrey for so long that it would be cruel to part her from Audrey." Hayden wanted to stay with his parents as Shelly seemed to get along well with his family, but he was concerned about Shelly's family.

Shelly was touched that he took her family's feelings into consideration.

"Hayden, even though my mom really likes Audrey, I can have her go back to my dad's side if someone else can take care of her. My parents have a good relationship, and it's not good to separate them," Shelly explained.

"Shelly, if you marry Hayden, we will definitely take care of your family, too. They can come and live in Avonsville. We can buy them a house wherever they like. You and Hayden can switch in between living here and with your parents," Avery suggested.

That would be the fairest approach, and Shelly felt a lump in her throat. "Thank you, Aunty Avery."Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Don't say that. We're family now. There's no need for formality," Avery said, feeling like she had the whole world in her arms as she held Audrey. "Let's find a time for both families to meet, set a wedding date, and then we can start preparing for the wedding."

"How about this weekend?" Hayden asked Shelly.

"My mom said anytime is fine," Shelly replied. "If we decide on this weekend, I'll let my dad know in advance."

"I'll send a car to pick them up, then," Hayden responded. "Hasn't your mom been away from her hometown for a while? Why don't we let her go back and visit for a few days, and then I can bring them here to meet everyone?"

Without hesitation, Shelly nodded. Her mother had not visited their hometown in a long time and missed home a lot.

When they first arrived in Avonsville,

her mom had a hard time adjusting to the new lifestyle, but she adapted to it after getting to know some the elderly residents in the neighborhood. With Audrey's presence, she eventually grew out of her initial boredom.

"Shelly, why don't you stay at our place tonight?" Avery suggested with a smile. "We have plenty of room."

Layla could not help but interject, "Mom, Shelly is going to marry Hayden. Are they still going to sleep in separate rooms?"

Hayden remained silent, and Shelly hesitated.

"Did you two sleep separately when you had the overnight team-building exercise?" Layla asked. "You've already had two children together, and you're planning to get married. You can sleep together!"

Layla said this because she was worried that Hayden was too clueless and passive, and the same could be said about Shelly.

Layla felt frustrated seeing the slow progress in their relationship and was becoming impatient.

"Mom, there's no need to arrange a room for Shelly. Tonight, Audrey, Shelly, and I will sleep together," Hayden said, taking the initiative.

Avery beamed with joy. "That's fine! You can arrange it yourselves. But, first, let me cuddle Audrey for a while. She's so adorable... Where's my phone? I want to take photos of her"

The nanny immediately fetched Avery's phone and handed it to her.

Hayden held Shelly's hand and walked towards his room.

Shelly had been to Elliot's mansion many times before but had never been to Hayden's room.

"Hayden, it's so lively here!" Shelly whispered as they went upstairs. "Have Layla and her husband been staying here these past few days?"
