Chapter 2946
An hour later, Avery bought a few cakes from Shelly's cafe and left.As soon as she left, Courtney darted out from around a corner. "Shelly, Avery is so nice to you! She even gave her the access card to her house! Does that mean that you have full access to their house from now on? You are practically on your way to becoming a part of their family!" Courtney said enviously. "Next time you go to their house, can you take some photos to show me? I'm so curious as to what the house of the truly wealthy people looks like.""I need to take care of my daughter during the weekend, so I can't possibly go to his house every week," Shelly said."Just take photos when you do!""I can't! There are bound to be a lot of people in their house. All I can do is take photos of my son and not their house," Shelly said."I will give you a video call, then. That way, I get a tour around the house.""Sure, as long as you aren't embarrassed about it." Shelly was in a good mood and agreed to her request

"It's alright." Hayden had tasted other cakes in the past, and the cakes from Shelly's cafe were only average in terms of taste. "Mom, you just think everything she does is great.""You are too picky," Avery said before turning to leave.During the weekend, Avery called the owner of GD Patisserie to her house, and once the appointment was made, Avery informed Shelly about it.It was the first time Shelly had been to Elliot's mansion.Avery had informed her family about Shelly's visit, so everyone looked forward to meeting her.Shelly was nervous and even lost sleep the night before her visit.The next day, she brought a fruit basket, and when Avery saw the basket, she immediately grabbed it."Why would you bring a gift with you? You didn't have to! You don't have to come with a gift next time," Avery said as she handed Shelly a pair of slippers.Shelly could feel her heart racing and marveled at how big the mansion was."Shelly, allow me to introduce my children." Avery brough

"That's nice! Aiden... what a cute name!" Avery was satisfied with the name. "Is that a nickname?"Shelly shook her head. "It's not. That's his name. You can make one up if you want to.""Hahaha! I used to have so many ideas when I named my own children! I didn't feel pressured because they are my children, but naming a grandchild is entirely different," Avery said. "Why don't you give it more thought when you get home?""Sure."Avery introduced Shelly to the owner of GD Patisserie, and after a brief introduction, the owner started to teach Shelly how to bake."A new cafe usually only requires one or two signature cakes at first, and that ought to attract enough repeat customers. Of course, apart from taste, service is important as well. I will teach you two types of cakes today. One is a cupcake that has been really popular for the past twenty years, and one is the newest product that we've launched..."Shelly paid full attention, and time flew.Soon, it was noon, and since the

Elliot was the first to snap out of it. "When was this?" He asked."On the night when Layla got married," Shelly said.He scowled. "Are you sure?!""Yeah. I'm sure you would have figured it out sooner or later because that's roughly when the baby was conceived. I had a friend who was working at that hotel, and they helped me slip into Layla's wedding. That was when I overheard someone plotting to drug Hayden in the washroom... I wanted to inform him about it but didn't get a chance. So I waited for him outside his room instead... That's pretty much the whole story. What happened between me and him was an accident. He isn't in love with me or anything."Layla's expression darkened. "Shelly, do you know who it was that drugged my brother?" Layla desperately wanted to find the person who had done such a thing to Hayden.Shelly shook her head. "I don't know them, but I'm sure Hayden knows who they are.""Okay. Thank you, Shelly. We didn't even know that something like that had happen

"Sure! How did it go today? You can't even bake! It's a shame that you are the only one who can get into the Foster family's house." Courtney entered the baking area alongside Shelly."I can't bake, but I have a great memory! The teacher was attentive, so I remember every single step!" Shelly put on an apron and started washing her hands."I didn't expect the owner of such a successful business to be so open to teaching others how to bake!" Courtney said. "I envy the Fosters' lifestyle. Whatever they want, they can have it delivered to their doorsteps.""That's not true! We went outside for lunch today at a restaurant near their place." Shelly meant to express that even extremely wealthy people were ordinary in some way.Everyone, with the exception of Hayden, had been kind to her."Have you met Elliot Foster?" Courtney asked."I have. I met every member of the family," Shelly said. "They are all so good-looking and have a majestic air about them. They are the kind of people who
Chapter 2951
Since she was now a single mother, Shelly's relatives would look down on her if she returned to her hometown.Fortunately, her close family members understood her situation and offered to visit her instead.Shelly still lived in the same apartment as she had before, and ever since Courtney had returned home, she had had to bear the cost of rent entirely by herself.After she had given birth, her mother had moved in to help care for the baby, and the apartment of two rooms had just enough space for them.The apartment seemed a little crowded once her father and brother arrived.She had offered to get her younger brother a hotel room instead so that she could be in the same room as her baby while her parents shared a room, but he had declined.Her brother, Samuel, was currently in his first year of high school, and while most teenagers his age were in their rebellious phase, he was a rather understanding young man because of his family background.He knew that Shelly managed a caf

Ivy was the first one to spot Shelly and called out excitedly, "Shelly!"Shelly immediately turned around and was stunned when she saw Ivy and Robert.It was a big city filled with countless people so she could not fathom the odds of running into them."Ivy, Robert." Shelly instinctively hid the bag containing baby formula behind her. "Are you here to buy flowers?""Yeah!" Ivy's attention was drawn to Samuel. "Shelly, is this your family member?""Yes. This is my younger brother, Samuel," Shelly said. "Samuel, these two are Ivy and Robert. They are Hayden's younger siblings.""Hello," Samuel said politely."Hello, Samuel. What are you two looking for? I will buy it," Robert offered generously. "Pick anything you want. We are here to get plants as well.""It's fine. We were just walking by and came in to have a look, so we might not even buy anything," Shelly said."Since you are already here, just buy something!" Robert said before starting to pick plants for them. "I think th

Shelly nodded with a smile. "Yeah! I wanted to buy clothes for him, but I was worried that the ones I bought might not fit him. Besides, I found out that he has a lot of new clothes during my last visit.""Hahaha! Layla likes buying clothes for him, so you don't have to buy him any more clothes. He has more clothes than he needs. Just make sure you come over to see him more often." Ivy knew that Shelly was struggling financially and did not wish for her to spend unnecessarily."Yeah. You two should proceed with your shopping! My brother and I should get going now." Shelly smiled politely.After leaving her address with the owner and confirming the time for delivery, Shelly left with her brother.Robert walked over to the owner and took a picture of Shelly's address."Robert, why are you taking down Shelly's address?" Ivy asked."What if something happens, and we need it?" Robert said. "I think Shelly is nice and not a pretentious kind of woman. I like her.""I think so, too. She
