His Eagle Eyes on Me

"It's evident that your whole family has a positive outlook on life," Hayden commented.

"That's because our family isn't the poorest in the village. When we feel dissatisfied with life, we think about how many others may be living worse than us, and it naturally makes us feel much better," she explained.

"Shelly, join my mother and prepare for our wedding. After all, it's our wedding. If you have any ideas, you can discuss them with my mom. We can think about other things after we get married," Hayden suggested.

Shelly nodded. "Sure! I can stay at home with the kids. They will eventually start going to school, though. If I don't have something to do, I'll get bored then."

Hayden reassured her, "You can always decide what to do after the kids start school."

"I'm afraid I'll be out of touch with society by then."

"You can still study while staying at home with the kids. There are so many servants at home to help. You can make time for yourself. That way, you won't be out of touch with society when the kids start school."

Shelly agreed, "Hmm, let's decide after we get married then! Hayden, who do you plan to have as your best man?"

"Robert."

"Don't you have any other unmarried friends?"

"Isn't Robert enough?" he asked.

"You're only having one groomsman?"

"How many bridesmaids do you want to have? Isn't Courtney your only friend?"

"Yes! She helped me a lot during my most difficult times. I'm really grateful to her," Shelly admitted.

"So, do you want me to find several groomsmen, preferably single, and let her choose from them?"

Shelly blushed in embarrassment. "It's not about letting her choose. It depends on if she sees someone she shares chemistry with. I think Courtney is quite outstanding."

"Since she's outstanding, there

should be plenty of suitors around her. I don't have many single friends. It's rare to find someone who is both wealthy and single," Hayden added. "And, by the way, Eliam has a

girlfriend too."

"I should consider myself fortunate, then."

"Some say I have high standards, which is why I haven't dated before. I think they're right. I indeed have high standards and wasn't interested in anyone," he said. Shelly teased, "If it had been someone else sleeping with you at the hotel before..."

"I don't just sleep with anyone. If they were too unattractive, I would have rather knocked myself unconscious than do what I did back then," Hayden said. Shelly blushed. "I'll take that as a compliment."

Hayden continued, "Remember that Fergus pursued you before as well. Although you might not be as beautiful as my two sisters, you're not bad."

Shelly did not expect Hayden to be

so blunt and was about praise his family's looks as well when Hayden realized that he had been too forward and corrected himself "Everyone is unique. You are

definitely the most beau

girl

there is in your parents' eyes."

"Hahaha! You don't have to console me. I can take it. Besides, I do agree that your sisters are really pretty."

"You are of a different style than

they are. There's no point in comparing," Hayden said. "Looks might matter, but that's not what matters most. Your personality is what distinguishes you from others."

"Yeah."

During the weekend, the Fosters held an extremely grand party and both Austin and Audrey were the stars of the party.

Ivy smiled as she watched everyone fight one another for a chance to hold them.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
