Hayden could not help but admire how wild Avery's imagination was. In the end, he caved and said, "Alright, Mom. I will deliver the contract tomorrow morning."
"Good! It's just a contract, so why are you overreacting? I only asked you to do it because your company is located near her cafe," Avery teased. "When I saw the address of the office, I suspected that you chose that location just so you can be close to her."
"... Mom, it's just a coincidence! That's it! Besides, I didn't decide on the address, my team did. You can ask my employees if you don't believe me."
"No, thank you." Avery turned around with a grin and played with Aiden. "Hayden, do you want to come and see your son? Shelly said that he is looking more handsome."
Hayden walked over to glance at Aiden. "What else did she say?" Hayden wanted to say that he was starving but changed his mind at the last second.
He wanted to talk about Shelly to show Avery that he was not avoiding Shelly.
"She said that she wants to work on her career and establish her brand to be as successful as GD Patisserie," Avery said. "She is such an ambitious and hardworking young lady. She was just like me when I was younger."
Hayden's jaw dropped.
He had seen Shelly and spoken to her for a short period of time and failed to see how she resembled his mother.
