His Eagle Eyes on Me

Hayden instantly fell silent, and Shelly bowed her head.

Ivy immediately said to Hayden, "Since the trouble in your company has been resolved, why don't you come over here and spend a few relaxing days with Shelly? Shelly never really meant to break up with you. She was just informed that your company is in trouble, and she felt guilty for not being able to help. I understand how she feels. She only feels this way because she loves you, or she wouldn't care at all!" "Hand her your phone," he said.

Ivy immediately handed her phone to Shelly, who accepted it after a moment's hesitation.

Worried that she might get in the way, Ivy said, "I will go to the bathroom."

Once Ivy left, Shelly took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Hayden."

"Why didn't you tell me the truth? Why did you tell my sister instead when she came to see you?" Hayden was utterly confused.

"Because Ivy has experienced hardships before, she might be more empathetic toward me."

"But what if my sister didn't come to see you? Would you have kept what you were feeling inside forever without telling us?" he questioned.

Shelly pursed her lips, unsure how to answer.

"Who told you that my company was facing issues? Was it Eliam?" Hayden pressed on.

"It wasn't." With things having come this far, Shelly did not bother lying anymore. "It was someone named Seraphina. She's more beautiful than me and has a great figure, and her family is wealthy." "So you broke up with me because you want me to marry her?" he asked.

"Not really. I think that woman is a bit too fierce." She certainly did not want Hayden to end up with a fierce wife out of concern for her twins. Even though the twins were loved and cared for by Avery and Elliot, having a fierce stepmother would not be ideal.

"Do you realize now that you made a mistake?"

After a brief moment of hesitation, Shelly replied, "Half of me realizes that I hurt your feelings, while the other half still believes that I'm not good enough." én.swnovels.net

"So what's your decision now?"Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"How about you let me talk to Ivy for a while longer?"

Hayden hung up and thought to himself, "This woman is unbelievable. She is willing to talk to Ivy yet won't tell me a thing."

Ivy returned from the bathroom, and Shelly handed her the phone.

"Ivy, did you talk to my brother?" Ivy looked at Shelly with hopeful eyes.

Shelly shook her head. "I still want to chat with you a bit more."

"Oh, I think you can see my brother as an ordinary entrepreneur. During the process of starting a business, he's bound to encounter various difficulties. That's when he'll need someone by his side to encourage him, Emotional support is especially important. Our family does not lack money, so, even if my brother's business fails, he can always make a comeback. Finding a compatible partner is far more challenging than starting a business."

"Ivy, you summarize it so well. Your brother is still a bit angry with me, and I'm a little scared to face him."

"You have me by your side, so you

have nothing to fear." Ivy paused and added "But I just arrived, and want to stay here and explore for a couple of days. How about your accompany me for a few days? After that, we can go back together."

Shelly nodded. "Okay."

"What is there to do here?" Ivy asked.

Shelly blushed awkwardly. "I don't know. I've been sleeping in the hotel these past few days. Breaking up with your brother has been weighing heavily on me."
