His Eagle Eyes on Me

Mrs. Taylor immediately spoke up. "I'll call her right away and find out!"

She dialed Shelly's phone number, and after a few seconds, the call was answered.

"Shelly, what's wrong?" Mrs. Taylor walked toward the adjacent restroom, holding her phone. "Why are you breaking up with Hayden all of a sudden? Did he do something to you? Tell Mom. I'll definitely stand by your side."

Shelly choked on her tears. "Mom, Hayden didn't do anything wrong. I just realized that we're not compatible. He doesn't depend on me. The only reason he stays with me is because I gave birth to our two children. If another woman had children with him, he could marry her as well."

Mrs. Taylor's expression was filled with disappointment. "But didn't you say you really liked him? Didn't you want to fight for this opportunity?"

"I did think that way before, but I regret it now. I'm scared. I don't deserve him at all, so why should I hold him back?" Shelly wiped away her tears. "Mom, I'm sorry. I've let you down."

"Are you sure you've thought this through?" Mrs. Taylor asked.

"Mom, I have. I've thought it through," Shelly replied.

"If you've made up your mind, then go ahead! You haven't wronged anyone. I'm just worried if you are really ready to give up the twins." Mrs. Taylor could not bear the thought of parting with her grandchildren. "The Fosters will let me visit them, but let's discuss that later!" Shelly said.

"All right, then. When do you plan to come back to the country?" Mrs. Taylor asked.

"I won't come back for now. When I decide to return, I'll let you know," Shelly replied.

"Do you have enough money to get by?" Mrs. Taylor asked.

"I have enough," Shelly replied.

After ending the call, Mrs. Taylor returned to the private room and took her seat.

"Hayden, I just talked to Shelly. She's going through some emotional turmoil. She feels that she's not worthy of you and doesn't want hold you back, so she has gone into hiding." Mrs. Taylor apologized: "I'm sorry for the trouble this has

caused."

Avery chimed in, "Perhaps we rushed things, and it scared Shelly. Let's give her some time!"

"I agree," Mrs. Taylor said.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Let's eat first! The food will get cold if we wait any longer," Avery suggested.

After that, Mr. Taylor and Elliot had a few drinks.

Feeling a bit tipsy, Mr. Taylor grabbed Elliot's arm and spoke up "Mr. Foster, there's something .. need to say it out loud for my own peace of mind!"

Mrs. Taylor immediately patted his shoulder and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Mr. Taylor pulled away from his wife stubbornly.

Avery smiled. "Please speak freely! Though our children can't get married right away, I already consider Shelly my daughter-in-law!"

Mr. Taylor flashed Avery a thumbs

up and said to Elliot, "Mr. Foster, here's the thing... I think we might need to change Aiden's name! According to our hometown's

custom, the eldest son's name net

cannot sound too much likenis father's name, or it can bring bad luck to the father! Aiden's name is far too similar to Hayden's!"

Elliot, Avery, and Hayden all fell silent.

Elliot was the first to snap out of it and said in surprise, "There's such a custom? If that's what you think, let's think of a different name for Aiden."

Mr. Taylor slammed his palms onto the table in excitement. "Let's think of a name now! We won't leave until Aiden has a new name!" "Sure!" Elliot agreed.

With that said, everyone started thinking of names for Aiden.
