His Eagle Eyes on Me

Hayden ordered a cup of coffee and turned his attention back to Shelly.

"I don't like to owe others," he said. "Name a price!"

"You want to buy my son?" Shelly asked in confusion. "Are you trying to say that you won't let me see him again?"

"No. I can arrange it if you want to see him. I don't have the right to stop my son from seeing his mother."

"Why are you offering me money, then?" Shelly asked. "I was the one who willingly gave birth to him and delivered him to you. You don't owe me anything!"Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"You were pregnant for ten months and had to go through labor all alone. I'm offering to compensate you for the hardship you had to endure," said Hayden.

"Oh... The pregnancy didn't really affect me that much because I worked during that time as well," Shelly said honestly. "If you want to compensate me in any way, just treat our child right." "Naturally, I won't mistreat my own son," Hayden promised.

"You aren't married yet, so I'm sure he won't be mistreated." Shelly was mainly concerned that her son might have a stepmother when Hayden eventually married, and Hayden understood her concern. "He is probably going to be my only son," he said.

Surprised, Shelly asked, "Why? You are young and perfectly healthy, so why would you have only one child? Even if you don't get married, you might still have other children."

Hayden did not argue, but the truth was that he never expected to be intimate with a woman before he spent the night with Shelly.

"Even if I have other children in the future, our son will not be mistreated," he explained. "My parents will be raising him, and even without me, they are going to make sure that our son is well taken care of." Shelly was relieved. "True. Your parents are quite famous."

The coffee was served and Hayden took a sip. "Where do you work?"

"Nearby," Shelly said, not wanting to disclose the address of her cafe.

"You seem terrified about me finding out where you work. Why is that?" Hayden could sense her wariness. "If I want the answer, all it takes is a phone call and I will know."

Shelly smiled, "But why would you

look into me, Mr. Tate? I'm just an ordinary person with an ordinary life. Are you getting sick of your life at the top of the food chain and

starting to wonder how people like

me live?"

"You said that you were struggling financially on the phone, yet you refuse my money."

"You have never been turned down

before, have you?" Seeing that he was truly confused, Shelly answered sincerely don't want to rely on you. I know that you and your family are wealthy, but I have my own pride. I can make ends meet right now, but I might reach out to you for help if I struggle to do even that."

Hayden respected her decision.

Shelly finished her coffee and summoned the courage to ask, "Mr. Tate, do you have any more questions?"

She felt that they had reached the end of the discussion and wanted to return to work.

"Have you named the baby?" Hayden asked.

"No. I knew I was going to deliver him to you as soon as he was born, so I didn't name him," she said. "Since he is with you now, you can make the call about anything in his life, know that he will have

much

better life by your side."

"Alright." Hayden could tell that she wanted to leave and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Shelly had not expected him to ask such a question, but since he was the father of her children, she figured that he had a reason behind all his questions.

"No. No man would be willing to date a woman who was pregnant with another's child, right?" she said and smiled sheepishly. "It's only been a month since I gave birth." "Do you have any pursuers?" Hayden continued.

He did not know why, but he simply wanted to learn more about Shelly because Shelly seemed desperate to get rid of him.
