Shelly's mother wanted her to find a reliable man she could raise Audrey alongside.with After all, she would eventually grow old and could not remain by Shelly's side forever, so she wanted a man around to care for Shelly.
"Mom, I haven't thought much of it yet. I've only met Fergus twice!" Seeing that Audrey was asleep, Shelly returned to the living room. "But Fergus is in quite a hurry. His family has been urging him to get married." "He is almost thirty, so of course his family is in a hurry. I'm supposed to be as well when you get to that age," Shelly's mother said. "Honestly, Fergus seems rather reliable. Maybe you should consider him." They were all from a small town, so information about one another could easily be found by asking around.
Fergus's family was considered well-off in the town, and since Fergus was well-educated and had a down-to-earth personality, Shelly's mother was satisfied with him.
"Mom, you said earlier that Hayden might have feelings for me, so why didn't you consider the possibility ofbeing with him?" Since they were at hand she was only with her mother, Shelly dared ask what she could not in front of others.
Shelly's mother was surprised by her daughter's question. "Hayden might have sfeeling for you, but I don't think he will marry you," her mother replied seriously. "With his qualities, he can find any outstanding woman he wants! Look, he hasn't found a wife yet, so he must have very high standards. I don't want you to waste your youth being strung along by a man like that. It's better to find a stable and reliable man and live a peaceful life." This had been her mother's prevailing education since Shelly's childhood. Her father was of the smind.
"Look, your dessert shop is doing well now. If you continue to work hard, you'll earn a good amount of money. With your financial capabilities, men won't underestimate you," Shelly's mother continued. "Although Audrey is not Fergus's biological child, he certainly wouldn't mistreat her." "Mom, you're thinking too far ahead." Shelly smiled. "Honestly, I have so many thoughts going on in my head right now. Please don't pressureto make decisions at a tlike this." "I'm not pressuring you! I just want you to seriously consider Fergus. If you miss out on him, you might not find someone with his suitable qualities in the futusa someone from the shometown," her mother said Λ "Choosing your lifelong partner will definitely be your own decision. I can only offer advice." "Mom, I will definitely think it through. I'm still young, and I don't have to rush into making a decision." Shelly could not possibly agree to date Fergus so quickly.

Mom, if the business stabilizes in the future, I want to hire a nanny to take care of the child. That way, you'll have an easier time." Shelly's mother had recently undergone surgery, and Shelly did not want her to strain herself, so she had thought of hiring a nanny.
าวเ "There's no need to hire one. Let's talk about it after you buy a house. Audrey is so well-behaved that taking care of her doesn't tireout. Besides, you sleep with her at night, so I get a good night's rest. I don't feel tired during the day." Her mother wanted to lighten her daughter's burden, not increase it.
"Okay, I'll work hard to buy a house first. Once I have a house, I'll hire a nanny." Shelly fantasized about a bright future. "Once I achieve that, it won't matter whether I find a man or not." "Hahaha! It's still better to find a closepanion. Audrey will grow up and leave you someday, and et you'll be left alone. I know you, and you're not the type of strong, independent woman one sees on TV Shelly blushed as her mother was right.

Shelly felt extremely awkward looking at the flowers, not knowing whether to accept them or not. "Fergus, please don't do this." mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1
