"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

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
Chapter 2953
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

"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

"I see!" Relieved, Elliot said, "Our darling Aiden must be starving."The servant brought a bottle of milk over. Aiden responded by reaching his arms out for it.Just then, Hayden returned home and scowled when he spotted his son drinking milk as he changed into his slippers."Why is he eating whenever I come home?" Hayden recalled seeing the same thing the past two days.Avery was not sure how to respond to his question and smiled as she tried to change the subject. "Maybe you should come home at a different time, then. Robert and Ivy went out shopping and ran into Shelly.""Mom, I came home at a different time yesterday. Are you overfeeding him? He is getting chubby.""Babies are like this, and they look really chubby when they're around a year old. Why don't I show you the photos of you, Layla, and Robert when you were one? He will start to slim down once he starts taking solid food.""Your mom has raised enough children to be qualified for caring for your son," Elliot said.
