"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 brought Shelly over to the living room, where Layla, Ivy, and Robert were waiting.
It was during the weekend, so they did not need to attend work or school; however, they might not have stayed home if Shelly was not coming.
"Hello, Uncle. I'm Shelly. Aunty Avery allowed me to come here to learn how to make cakes," Shelly said politely.
"Sure. Go ahead!" Elliot said.
Avery took Shelly to the kitchen and Shelly whispered, "Aunty Avery, have you named the baby yet?"
"Not yet! We don't know where to start," Avery said with a smile. "We wanted to let Hayden decide on a name, but he said he has no idea and told us to name the baby instead. We have been thinking about it in the past few days. Do you have any good idea about it?"
"What do you think about Aiden?" Shelly said. "I used to call him that."
