Chapter 3054
"Layla, Robert will only be in grad school for a maximum of two years. If he wants to pursue philosophy, let him!" Ivy spoke up for Robert. "Maybe he's not mentally prepared to assist Dad right now. Who knows, after two more years of studying, he might mature a lot!" Ivy's words eased Layla's mood considerably. "That's true. Robert has always been spoiled, and since he hasn't experienced any hardships, he is slow to mature," Layla chuckled. "You're much more mature than him." "Layla, Robert is actually great. He just has a more lively personality compared to us." Ivy continued advocating for Robert. "Do you really have no intention of going to grad school?" Layla asked. "Actually, it's good for girls to pursue higher education. If you decide not to, believe me, a bunch of people will immediately start introducing potential boyfriends to you. Ivy, I don't want you to get married too quickly. You haven't fully enjoyed life yet, and I don't want you to enter into marriage premature
Chapter 3055
"Ever since Aiden joined our family, I guess our parents have gotten really busy, huh?" Layla asked. "Yeah. Aiden is still little and needs to be taken care of. Mom and Dad still care a lot about me and remember when I have classes and when I don't!" "I only want one child," Layla said. "Having too many children feels tiring. Our parents have four and can never stop worrying." "Just focus on giving birth to the baby, Layla. Worrying about your kids is one thing, but one would also feel happy by being a parent." Ivy peeled an apple and cut it into smaller pieces for Layla. Just then, Eric stepped out of the kitchen and walked toward them with a pot of chicken soup for Layla. "Layla, why don't you give it a try?" Eric placed the tray on the table and handed a bowl to Layla, then passed another bowl to Ivy. "Ivy, you should try it too." Ivy smiled as she took the bowl of soup. "Thank you, big brother-in-law. This soup you stewed is so delicious and nourishing. If I keep drinki

Shelly's furrowed brows eased at her mother's words, and she turned to Hayden. "Hayden, do you want to take a shower now?" Hayden was crouching next to the couch. He was playing with Audrey. He immediately got up to shower when he heard Shelly's question. Once Hayden walked away, Mrs. Taylor immediately grabbed Shelly's arm with a smile. "Did you and Hayden... get intimate?" "No, Mom." Shelly blushed. "We did get closer after this team-building event. He said he needs a wife and I'm willing to marry him, so I think we are probably going to get married." Tears welled in Mrs. Taylor's eyes. "Shelly, you've made us proud! I've never thought you would marry such a great man! If word of this gets out, you will be the pride of our entire town!" Shelly fell silent. She had never thought about becoming the pride of the entire town and only ever wanted to live a good life for herself. "Mom, please don't spread the news about me and Hayden. Let's wait until we're actually married t

Mrs. Taylor glanced at her daughter. "Are you going out barefaced like that?" "Mom, I'm going to Hayden's house, not somewhere else. I often go to his place without wearing makeup!" Shelly did not want to change her lifestyle just because Hayden and her were now in a relationship. She knew that he had chosen her irrespective of whether she wore makeup or not. "Mrs. Taylor, Shelly looks beautiful even without makeup," Hayden said. Mrs. Taylor laughed and felt happy for her daughter. "Hayden, I know that you chose Shelly because of the children. I'm not boasting about my own daughter, but she's really great. She has always been obedient and responsible. Although our family is ordinary, we live righteously and contentedly..." "Mom, please stop." Shelly blushed in embarrassment. "Hayden already knows about our family." "Alright, as long as you two are doing well and raising the two children together, that's all we can ever wish for," Mrs. Taylor said contentedly, and she put an

This was the first time Avery had ever heard Hayden say something in such an urgent tone. Hayden was always composed and remained in control of every aspect of his life. Avery smiled. "Are you planning to marry Shelly? I knew that you two would make great progress in your relationship after this outing. You two should just go ahead and get married. If you think doing it now is too rushed, you can get married on Valentine's Day." Hayden had already gotten used to Avery's nagging and said, "We will discuss the wedding later. Come home now. There's something else I need to talk to you about." Avery could not think of what Hayden would need to tell her but knew that it must be something important, or he would not urge them to go home when they were on vacation. Avery stood up from the lounge chair. "Do we need to rush back today?" "As soon as possible." Hayden could not contain his excitement and wanted to share this surprise with his entire family, knowing that his parents wou

Ivy followed suit and walked over. Before Hayden had a chance to explain, the nanny spoke up and said to Layla, "Layla, your brother did not find this child on the trip. Your brother says she's his daughter!" "Huh?" Layla was shocked. She glanced at her brother and then at Audrey. "Hayden, who did you have this child with? How could you have so many children? What kind of a man are you? I used to see you as my idol, and now, I feel disgusted! I want to throw up!" One of the reasons Layla felt sickened was because she was pregnant herself. Shelly did not expect Layla to misunderstand Hayden, so she quickly explained, "Layla, this is my child as well. She and Aiden are fraternal twins, just like you and your brother." Layla, who had bent over and gotten ready to vomit, straightened up immediately. "Are you sure? You're not corroborating with my brother, are you? Do you know how low the probability is of having twins?" "Layla, I'm not lying to you. I didn't tell you about Audr
Chapter 3060
Elliot got out of the car and held the car door open for Avery. Aiden had fallen asleep in the car, and Avery carried him out carefully. "Let me hold him!" Elliot said. Aiden had gained a lot of weight and he did not want his wife to get tired. Avery handed Aiden to Elliot, while Robert and the bodyguards carried the suitcases. No one came out to welcome them home, and Avery, who could no longer suppress her curiosity, hurried into the mansion.What she saw was Layla and Eric sitting on one end of the couch while Hayden, Shelly, and Ivy sat on the other end, and in between Ivy and Hayden was a baby dressed in a tiny white dress. The little girl was playing with Aiden's toy drum, waving it to make noises. Hayden never liked being in a nosy environment but was looking at the baby with an endearing smile on his face. "Mom! You're back!" Layla was the first to notice her mother's arrival. She got up from the couch and walked over to her. "Mom, this is a little girl that my b
Chapter 3061
Hayden's expression darkened. "What are you talking about? She is my daughter, Aiden's sister!" Worried that his family would not understand, he added, "She is Aiden's biological sister." "Audrey and Aiden are twins," Shelly added. Elliot was stunned for a few moments before shoving Aiden into Robert's arm and picking Audrey up from the couch. Both Aiden and Robert seemed shocked by Elliot's sudden movement. "I was wondering why she looks so familiar! So she's my granddaughter!" Elliot held Audrey up with a smile. Avery tapped Eliot on the shoulder. "Honey, don't hold her up so high." Hayden, too, felt that it was dangerous and said, "Dad, lower!" Just then, Avery added, "I can't reach her if you hold her up so high." Elliot immediately placed Audrey into Avery's arms. Elliot gently patted Audrey's head. "Her head is so round! Like a big watermelon!" "Yes! I can't believe it! Hayden actually has two children!" Avery exclaimed, both amazed and surprised. "It's truly
