"Babies' tongues work differently," Avery explained patiently. "Just think of it this way: he hasn't tried anything else so he can put up with the taste of the formula.""Oh. Do you really not get sick of taking care of a baby all day, Mom? You can just hire a few more nannies so that you can go outside with Dad!" Robert was still young and could hardly stay put in one place, so he could not understand why his mother would choose to stay home all the time."It's cold outside, so what's there to see? Besides, your dad is going to take over later. He is spending far more time with Aiden than I am!" Avery smiled. "He is so full of energy. He works two to three hours every day and still makes time to take care of Aiden. He hasn't once complained about feeling tired.""I guess it's because Aiden looks so cute." Ivy was growing increasingly fond of her nephew."I think Aiden looks a lot like his mom. I should send Shelly some gifts for New Year's," Avery mused. "Do you think she would ac

Shelly paled at Avery's words. "Aunty, when will your driver arrive?""Probably in a while because he is dropping someone else off right now. Are you home today?""I am, but my apartment is messy.""It's fine. I've bought quite a lot of things for you, so I will get him to carry them up to your apartment. You don't have to tidy your apartment for that. I know that you are busy with work...""Sure. Thank you, Aunty Avery." Unable to refuse Avery's offer, Shelly said, "I will come to visit you when I have the time.""Of course. Just let me know when so I can be prepared," Avery said enthusiastically.Shelly massaged her temples after hanging up. "Mom, Aunty Avery is sending someone to deliver gifts to me, and her driver will be here later. You need to take Audrey outside with you." Shelly was having a rather relaxing day up until the moment Avery called."It's so cold out there so where on earth am I supposed to go with Audrey?" Shelly's mother asked. "Everyone should be on holida

Avery felt relieved. "How's business lately?""Ever since we launched the new cakes after New Year's, our sales have been going up! We have a lot of repeat customers, so we are making profits," Shelly said. "Aunty Avery, thank you. If it weren't for you, our business wouldn't run so smoothly.""Don't thank me. I can't rest until I see you living a great life yourself," Avery said. "By the way, Shelly, I wanted to ask how many cakes you can make each day. My daughter's company would like to order cakes for its employees once a week, but I don't know if you can supply that many cakes."Shelly was thrilled. "We sell approximately a thousand cakes each day, and since that's way past our usual daily sales, we intend to hire a few more employees.""Haha! That's great! Layla's company will need about five hundred cakes, and you can have those delivered to her every Friday. Will that be okay?" Avery was worried that Shelly might not accept it and said, "The cakes distributed to employees a

Satisfied, Avery said, "Be nicer to Shelly.""I'm nice to her all the time, Mom," Hayden said. "I know that you want us to date, but you can't force this sort of thing.""I'm not forcing anything. I'm just asking that you treat her better. No matter what, she is Aiden's mom!" Avery reasoned with him. "She comes from poverty, so we should help her where we can."Hayden nodded and agreed, "Which is why I think you are doing great whenever you offer to help her. With you to look after her, I have nothing to worry about."Avery fell silent."I'm done, Mom." Hayden finished his milk and prepared to head out for work."Are you eating properly for lunch? I can always get the driver to deliver lunch to you." Avery was worried that he was not eating properly. Home-cooked meals would always be more nutritious than food outside."It's fine, Mom. I might not be in the office in the afternoon." Hayden wiped his lips with a tissue and headed out.In Courtney’s Cafe, Shelly received a text fr

Shelly immediately locked her phone and smiled at Courtney. "I don't have Mr. Tate's number, so you should use your phone! You just bought it right? The camera is better than mine.""You can take my number down now, then!" Hayden said before unlocking his own phone to give her his number.Shelly could not believe what she was hearing and stared at the screen."Shelly, hurry up! I'll take his number if you don't!" Courtney urged.Shelly hummed and hurried over to her desk. "I'm a little thirsty. Let me take a sip of water first."She fumbled for a glass as she unlocked her phone to navigate to the contact list. Thankfully, she only had the photo of the twins on her locked screen and not anywhere else.She took a sip of water and returned to take Hayden's number down."Mr. Tate, can I have your number as well? Don't worry. I won't bother you. I just want your number in my contact list so I will be more inspired to work hard when I look at your number!" said Courtney.Moved by her
