His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2984

Shelly was extremely embarrassed by Fergus's words and stole a glance at Hayden to see his expression darkening.

"What is happening? This is hell!" she thought.

"Have the two of you already gotten to the point where you are discussing marriage?" Hayden had not anticipated that they would be moving forward with their relationship so swiftly or that Shelly would be so desperate to get married.

"No, Fergus is just messing around!" Shelly said.

"Haha! Yeah. I'm pursuing Shelly, but she hasn't agreed to it." Seeing how Hayden seemed interested in the topic, Fergus continued, "Shelly and I come from the same hometown. It's a remote, underdeveloped town. She was the first person that I had met from there since moving to Avonsville. It felt like fate. Moreover, we're around the same age, and, most importantly, our mothers know each other."

An unreadable look crossed Hayden's face, one that could be interpreted as displeasure, but Shelly felt like he had a similar expression on most of the time.

"Shelly, what are your thoughts on this?" Hayden asked.

Shelly's cheeks flushed as she voiced her thoughts: "It's true that Fergus and I are from the same hometown and that our families are well-acquainted, but I've only just met him, so I don't know him well enough to make a decision yet. It's too early to talk about marriage."

"So, if you were to consider marriage, you would think about him, right?" Hayden continued.

"I don't want to get married right now. As I mentioned before, my focus is on my career. I want to buy a house in Avonsville and bring my family over in the future," Shelly replied.

"It's just a house, and with the current profitability of your cafe, you should be able to achieve that goal by the end of the year," Hayden remarked.

"I hope it goes that smoothly!" Shelly expressed.

"So, once you buy your house at the end of the year, you'll consider marriage?" Hayden casually poured himself a glass of water.

"I don't know... I'll know how I feel when the time comes. After I've bought the house." Shelly felt deeply conflicted.

She had not really thought much about the future.

Until now, her focus had been on running the cafe successfully, earning some money, and improving her life. She had not expected the business to flourish so quickly with the help of the Foster family.
