His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2960

Satisfied, Avery said, "Be nicer to Shelly."

"I'm nice to her all the time, Mom," Hayden said. "I know that you want us to date, but you can't force this sort of thing."

"I'm not forcing anything. I'm just asking that you treat her better. No matter what, she is Aiden's mom!" Avery reasoned with him. "She comes from poverty, so we should help her where we can."

Hayden nodded and agreed, "Which is why I think you are doing great whenever you offer to help her. With you to look after her, I have nothing to worry about."

Avery fell silent.

"I'm done, Mom." Hayden finished his milk and prepared to head out for work.

"Are you eating properly for lunch? I can always get the driver to deliver lunch to you." Avery was worried that he was not eating properly. Home-cooked meals would always be more nutritious than food outside.

"It's fine, Mom. I might not be in the office in the afternoon." Hayden wiped his lips with a tissue and headed out.

In Courtney’s Cafe, Shelly received a text from Avery saying that Hayden would be delivering the contract later that day, and she could tell that Avery was trying to create an opportunity for them to meet.

"Shelly, you are awesome!" Courtney arrived at the cafe early in the morning because Shelly called to inform her about the contracts she had received from Avery.

She was so excited that she could not get a moment of sleep.

Back when she asked her parents to invest in the cafe, they had not had high hopes but had given in under Courtney's relentless begging.

Courtney had told her parents that if the cafe failed, she would agree to whatever marriage they arrange for her; however, if the cafe succeeded, her parents were to never interfere with her love life again.

Her parents, who were certain that she would fail, agreed to the bet. Hence, Courtney did not lose sleep over how much she was going to make, but over the excitement of being free to choose her own husband.
