When Mrs. Taylor returned, Hayden was holding Audrey in the living room while Shelly was busy packing their belongings.Mrs. Taylor smiled and spoke to Hayden, "You've been carrying her all this time, aren't you tired? You can put her in the crib, it'll be easier for you.""I'm not tired," Hayden replied honestly. "Aiden's heavier than her, and I have to carry him around every day.""Taking care of a child will be really tiring if you spoil him like that, you know?" Mrs. Taylor said. "You spoil Aiden too much. It's not good to indulge a child too much."Shelly chimed in, poking her head out, "Mom, it's not as exaggerated as you think. Aunty Avery is a sensible person. She won't spoil Aiden."Mrs. Taylor responded, "Oh, that's good then.""Why would you even worry about that? Look at Aunty Avery's four children, they are all exceptional," Shelly continued. "They will definitely take good care of Aiden."Mrs. Taylor started packing as well, but she felt somewhat restless and uneas
Avery and Elliot could not snatch Audrey from Shelly's arms by force and would be tormented to know that they had a granddaughter but could not see her all the time."Do we have to tell them?" Shelly felt the same as Hayden. "If we tell them, do you think they would be glad or troubled? Let's keep this a secret for now.""They will find out soon enough," Hayden said."Just calm down and see what happens in a few days." Shelly felt confused as well. "I don't have any answers for you right now. I'm still in shock.""Go ahead and slice up some fruits, then," Hayden said, feeling the same as he did when he suddenly learned that he had a son.With the addition of a daughter, his burdens as a father increased.He walked over to the couch and took a seat before lifting Audrey up so that she was standing on his lap."Audrey, I'm your daddy. Remember what daddy looks like, okay?"It was Hayden's first time meeting his daughter, and from the moment he laid eyes on her, he fell deeply in
Shelly could not help but chuckle. "Didn't you send someone to find servants? When that time comes, you'll have people watching the child around the clock. I won't be able to make her suffer even if I try to.""I will arrange for several bodyguards to live with us and protect you as well.""If you think it's necessary, go ahead! After all, living in a mansion and having a status will increase the possibilities of attracting evil people." Shelly did not intend to mock Hayden, but as soon as the words left her mouth, they took on a different meaning. "Bad people don't bother us while we live here," she added."You seem quite pleased with yourself," Hayden said."No, I'm not pleased. I'm just stating a fact. I know you have money, so as long as it doesn't affect you financially, I won't stop you from hiring servants or bodyguards."Hayden remarked, "That's because you can't stop me even if you wanted to."After a brief argument with Hayden, Shelly's anxious mood was partially reliev
"She will like anything you give her that isn't scary."' Shelly thought.Just then, Audrey glanced at a store selling bags, Hayden carried her and walked in."That store sells purses," Shelly informed him."I don't need you to tell me that. I have eyes," he said.The salesperson spotted them and immediately approached with enthusiasm, "Sir, are you looking for purses for men or women? We received a new batch yesterday...""Do you have bags suitable for my daughter's age?" Hayden asked the salesperson earnestly.The salesperson glanced at the infant in his arms, a hint of surprise flickering in her eyes while thinking to herself, "Is a half-year-old baby already buying bags?""Yes, we do, sir!" The salesperson was enchanted by Hayden's extraordinary demeanor and promptly led him to the section with children's bags. "These are our children's collection."Shelly commented, "Children's bags are this big? It feels like you can stuff the child inside!""These children's bags are des
"I don't lack anything! I have purses at home," Shelly said."I know you have everything," said Hayden coldly. "But I don't want people to mistake you for our daughter's nanny the next time you go out with her.""Even if people mistake me, I don't mind." Shelly followed him, clutching her bag. "Life is already hard enough, and if we also worry about what others think, wouldn't it be even more exhausting?"Hayden glanced at her. "You do have a good attitude.""Isn't it better to live each day happily?" Shelly quipped. "Regarding the bag you bought for our daughter, we don't even know when she'll be able to carry it. It's too big!""Then she can treat it as a toy. She likes pictures on it," Hayden replied nonchalantly, not concerned about the bag's price as long as their daughter liked it.Perplexed, Shelly asked, "If you wanted to buy her pictures, couldn't you have just bought her pictures? It's so expensive, what a waste!""If you think it's a waste, then you can carry it for n
All Hayden could see was Audrey at the moment, and it seemed as though he was trying to make up for the six months he failed to spoil his daughter.Shelly went out of the store and called Eliam."Why didn't Mr. Tate call me himself?" Eliam asked."He is busy at the moment.""Oh... Ms. Taylor, what's going on with Mr. Tate? He is acting strange.""I don't know how to describe it.""Alright, then! I will send someone over," Eliam said. "Are you two together?""Yeah," Shelly said."Is the villa he had me clean for you to live in?" Eliam caught on to the drama. "You two...""Mr. Golan, there are certain things he doesn't tell you, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to disclose them either. So, please don't ask me." Shelly was feeling quite uneasy."Understood. I get it! Besides arranging transportation and personnel, is there anything else you need?""No, that's all." Shelly sighed. "Mr. Golan, may I ask you a question? Does your boss enjoy shopping?""Not at all. Besides wo
Realization dawned on Shelly. "Honestly, I was just curious to see what their menus are like.""The waiter will explain the dishes later.""I guess high-class restaurants are different. Do they have baby chairs? You won't be able to eat if you keep holding Audrey.""What if she falls off the chair?" Hayden asked."Don't you put Aiden into a baby chair when you feed him, too?""Aiden is bigger in size, and our daughter is so thin... It's not the same thing!" Hayden said.Resigned, Shelly said, "Fine! Keep holding her if you want to! We can take turns.""I can eat even with her in my arms," Hayden argued."Do you enjoy holding her that much? Isn't it tiring?"No. She is light.""Very well!" Shelly wanted to snap that since Hayden loved their daughter so much, they could sleep together at night, but she did not say it out loud.In truth, putting Audrey to sleep at night was quite exhausting as she would wake up once every night to be fed.Shelly could not sleep through the nig
Shelly was worried that Hayden might not know how to feed Audrey and went to sit down next to him to help."You can keep holding Audrey, and I will feed her." Shelly tucked tissue around Audrey's neck, and Hayden held onto Audrey tightly.Audrey had her eyes on the bowl Shelly was holding and licked her lips at the appetizing scent of food."Are you hungry, my darling?" Shelly noticed the eager look on Audrey's face and chuckled. "Don't worry. Mommy will feed you now."Hayden turned his attention to Shelly at the sound of her gentle voice.The two were sitting mere inches away from each other at the moment.Hayden did not particularly enjoy having women too close to him, but he did not feel repulsed when Shelly was in such close proximity."Hayden, could you pass me a tissue?" Shelly noticed a bit of soup on Audrey's mouth.Hayden immediately pulled out a tissue paper.As Hayden handed the tissue to Shelly, he noticed the soup at the corner of Audrey's mouth and went to wipe i
