Chapter 3044
Shelly was touched but hesitated upon hearing the price. No matter how beautiful it looked, her interest in the item faded if the price exceeded her estimation. "Let's go somewhere else!" Shelly wanted to pull Hayden out of the shop. Since they managed to purchase four dolls at normal prices, she wanted to find another store that sold products that were not overly expensive. Hayden remained unwavering. "You like this shawl, right? We can buy this and go elsewhere after that." The price of the shawl hardly meant anything to him. He rarely went shopping, and anything one could find in ordinary shops was not expensive for him. Since Shelly seemed to like the shawl, he wanted to buy it for her. He did not care if Shelly wanted to keep the shawl for herself or give it to Avery. Shelly knew that Hayden had more money than he could spend, but she pulled him out of the store regardless and said, "Let's see if there's anything better. If not, we can come back and buy it, okay?"

After touching the fabric, Hayden picked out a rainbow-colored shawl and placed it on Shelly's shoulder. Shelly was instantly stunned. "It looks great on you," he said. "Look in the mirror. Let's buy it if you like it." "This may look nice, but I don't think it suits Aunty Avery..." Shelly liked the shawl but felt that the one with the deeper color would suit Avery better. "You can keep this one, and we can get the one you first saw for my mom," he said before ordering the owner to bring over the other shawl. Both shawls were made from the same fabric. The only variance was the slight shift in colors and patterns. They were priced the same. Hayden went to pay and the staff member wrapped the shawls before handing them to Shelly respectfully. Shelly felt too guilty to keep shopping if Hayden was going to pay for everything, so she said, "Why don't we head back to the hotel?" "Let's go have something to drink!" Hayden did not feel like going back to the hotel. Although he

Shelly turned around to look at Hayden. "Why don't we go shower?" Hayden glanced at the time and noticed that it was six in the evening. "Where?" Shelly asked. Hayden pointed in a certain direction. "There's a hammam there. We reserved the whole place for tonight." Shelly immediately picked up her bag and went over to the hammam with Hayden. It took them around fifteen minutes to reach the baths. When they arrived, they ran into a big group of female employees that were ready to shower, so Hayden said, "You should go with them." The hammam was divided into two separate spaces, one for males and the other for females. She nodded. "Be careful when you shower. Don't let your wound touch the water." "Don't worry. I'll be fine," he reassured her. With that, Hayden went to the men's area, while Shelly followed the other female employees to the female's area. As soon as she entered, Shelly was surrounded by several female employees. "Ms. Taylor, are you going to marry our

Shelly showered swiftly and got changed, before hurrying outside to find Hayden waiting in the hall. Spotting her, Hayden pushed the fruit platter toward her. "They serve us fruits here, too?" Shelly asked. Her cheeks were flushed from her hot shower. "There are snacks, too." "Fruits will be fine." Shelly took a bite of a piece of apple and glanced at Hayden's hand. She then set her fork down and grabbed his hand. "Your plaster is wet. Let me change it for you." She left the fruit platter behind and proceeded to drag Hayden out of the hammam. After Shelly and Hayden left, the women's area became lively with chatter. "Did you notice? Ms. Taylor had a scar on her abdomen." One female employee initiated the conversation. "What scar? I didn't see it. I only noticed her great figure." "I didn't see it either... Wasn't she covering herself with a towel? Her figure is indeed good, though. Her waist is so slim! I envy her!" "You guys aren't married and don't have children,

Eliam felt touched by their interaction and hurried over to the barbeque stand before whispering to the Vice President, "Our boss looks like a damsel in distress today, and Ms. Taylor is like his heroine." "The president hurt his hand and needs help," said Vice President. "Hahaha, I guess! Don't worry, though, Ms. Taylor is an attentive woman so she will take great care of the President." "She's a mother, after all." "A mother of two, no less," Eliam added. The Vice President lifted an eyebrow. "Two? Not one?" Eliam lowered his voice further. "Two. Ms. Taylor pretty much has the President pinned down. As long as she doesn't cause any trouble, she will have the President all to herself with those two kids." "So she gave birth to twins? That's great. You don't know for sure, though. Any woman can give birth to kids, and if the President runs into another woman he likes more in the future..." "The President isn't that kind of a man. Just look at his parents," Eliam said.
Chapter 3049
"What is a domineering CEO novel?" Hayden asked curiously. Seeing his genuine interest, Shelly explained to him, "It's a type of romance novel. In this genre, the male lead is usually a CEO, while the female lead is an average person. It's so that the average woman can identify with the female lead. Who wouldn't want a handsome and wealthy man to dote on them? When I was in middle school, many girls in my class read these novels, and I started reading them too. I mainly borrowed these books from my classmates." "Instead of waiting for someone else to dote on you, it's better to improve yourself and take control of the situation," Hayden said. Amused by his serious take on the matter, Shelly could not help but chuckle. "Actually, girls read these types of novels mainly to fulfill fantasies and pass the time. Once we graduate from university and start working, we rarely have time to read them anymore." About half an hour later, it got colder, and Shelly was worried that Hayden mi
Chapter 3050
Inside the tent, Shelly swatted a mosquito, and Hayden handed her a wet tissue to clean her hands. After Shelly wiped her hands clean, she asked if he had any trash for her to throw away on her way out. Hayden silently watched her without saying a word. Shelly did not know what he was thinking, so she sat there without moving. She had a feeling that something was about to happen and felt a mix of anticipation and nervousness. From her understanding of Hayden's character, she did not think he was the proactive type. Growing up, he had easily obtained whatever he wanted, so there was never a need for him to take the initiative. Shelly herself was not particularly proactive either, but when faced with enough temptation, she could throw caution to the wind, just like how she did the first night she met Hayden. After a moment of hesitation, Shelly leaned in and kissed Hayden. His lips were slightly cool and carried the faint scent of toothpaste. Once their lips touched,

Hayden mentioned building a family together in a really subtle way, but she liked that about him. "I think you're right," she agreed. If Hayden was confident of their compatibility, she would certainly place her confidence in it as well. Since he needed a wife and a mother for his children, she would be a good wife and a good mother. Even if it was not for Hayden's sake, Shelly would strive for a better life, work hard to find her own happiness, and be a good wife and mother to her children. However, by choosing to be with Hayden, she had even more reason to live a fulfilling life. Soon, Hayden's breathing became rhythmic and Shelly carefully climbed off him, feeling hesitant as to whether she should stay or go. She knew that Hayden would not be against her leaving, but it would be embarrassing if someone saw them. However, she quickly realized that the focus should not be on how others saw or thought of them, but on her own feelings; her feelings were simple and straightfor
