His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 3176

Mr. Woods did not expect Hayden to be so direct, and he found himself momentarily caught off guard.

He had come to ask Hayden for money, but he had not thought about exactly how much he wanted. After all, Hayden's family was extremely wealthy, and he did not want to ask for too little and feel shortchanged, nor did he want to risk asking for too much and having Hayden refuse. It was a tough decision.

After a brief internal struggle, Mr. Woods turned to Hayden and said, "I know your family is one of the wealthiest in Aryadelle, so why don't you name the price? I trust you won't mistreat my son and our family."

Hayden furrowed his brows slightly.

Shelly, noticing his hesitation, quickly chimed in, "Uncle, why don't you make an offer? We're not very familiar with this process. If you insist on us naming a price, we might need to consult my father-in-law."

"Elliot Foster, you mean?" Mr. Woods asked.

Shelly nodded. "Yes. My father-in-law isn't as easygoing as my husband. After all, you wouldn't want your daughter to marry an ordinary man, right?"

Mr. Woods quickly agreed. "You're right. Let's discuss this then!"

"You can start thinking about it now. We won't leave for a couple of days," Shelly suggested.

"All right. Let's exchange contact information. We can stay in touch for future discussions."

He glanced at Hayden for approval and, when Hayden nodded, took out his phone to exchange contact details.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Ivy was helping Lucas handle the aftermath of his mother's passing.

Lucas had already called the funeral home to have his mother's body removed from the hospital.

"Are you planning a simple funeral?" Ivy asked.

"My mother didn't have many relatives," Lucas said.

"Shouldn't we choose a burial plot at the very least?"

"My mother wanted her ashes returned to her hometown and scattered in the lake."

Ivy was taken aback. "Are you really going to do as she wished?"

"I don't want to."

"Why don't we buy your mother a burial plot, then? That way, we can visit her in the future," Ivy suggested.
