His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2974

"There's too much food for the two of us," Shelly exclaimed.

"You can pack the leftovers and take them with you if you don't want the food to go to waste." Hayden knew that Shelly was an easygoing woman and tended to relax around her.

Hayden was not in the habit of eating fruits as they were all either too sweet or too sour, so he preferred water if he needed something after a meal.

"I love fruits, but I rarely buy them," she said. "Fruits are so expensive these days."
