NovelOnlineAfter the old man left, only the two of them remained in the elevator.
"You have a way with people." Hayden broke the silence.
Shelly shook her head. "If you interact with the elderly more, you'll find that most of them are kind and tolerant. They have lived most of their lives, and they've experienced and seen many things. That's why they are very open-minded towards the people around them. I've only occasionally met that old man around the neighborhood, and we haven't really had a deep conversation. As long as you smile at them, they will think highly of you." As Shelly finished speaking, the elevator cto a stop.

If Hayden followed her home, he would discover Audrey, but Shelly had no viable reason to keep Hayden from entering her house.
If she refused to let him in just to keep Audrey hidden, Hayden, being such a proud man, would be frustrated, and he might not want to have anything to do with her again, which was not the oue she desired because she still wanted to visit the Fosters and see Aiden.
If she strained her relationship with Hayden, she would be too embarrassed to go to Elliot's mansion in the future.
It was a dilemma.
Hayden stood in the elevator, saying lightly, "Go home! I won'te over to your place." Shelly felt a wave of joy in her heart, but her face revealed her confusion. "Don't you want a drink of water, at least?" "I'm not thirsty," Hayden said. "Don't you live with your mother? It's late, and I don't want to disturb her." Shelly did not insist. "All right, Hayden. Thank you! I'lle see Aiden tomorrow." "Yeah." Shelly stepped out of the elevator and watched as the doors closed before heading home.
When she arrived home, Shelly's heart was still pounding heavily.
Not long after, her mother exited her room. "Shelly, what happened to you?" "Mom, Hayden apaniedback. He droppedoff on our floor." Shelly took a deep breath. "I thought he woulde inside, but he said he didn't want to disturb you, so he didn'te in." Shelly's mother was also surprised. "Weren't you out with Fergus? How did Hayden end up taking you back?" "We bumped into each other at the hotel. His assistant toldthat he kind of likesand askedto be more proactive." Shelly kept no. secrets from her mother, and this was not something she could share with anyone else. Shelly's emotions were in turmoil now, and she did not know what to do.

After all, they were an ordinary family, and even having sform of connection to the Fosters was already extremely lucky.
It was simply unimaginable that Shelly had the chance to marry Hayden. "Mom, has Audrey fallen asleep?" Shelly wanted to see her daughter.
As Shelly looked at her spirited daughter, her nervousness dissipated.
"Darling, your daddy was here. You haven't met him yet!" Shelly lifted her daughter up and was about to return to her own room. "Mom, go get ssleep!" "Yeah. Shelly, might not be able to give you any advice about you and Pn Hayden... It's too important a matter, and you need to make your own decision, but know that whatever you do, you have my support" Shelly's mother said. Shelly nodded. "We will see what happens, Mom! Right now, I don't know where this is going." "Sure." After that, Shelly carried Audrey back into the room, and, shortly after, she received a call from Fergus, asking where she went.
"Fergus, something cup so I headed home. I'm sorry for not telling you," she said sheepishly. "Oh... Did something bad happen?" After hesitating a moment, she said, "I ran into Hayden. Fergus, he and I are actually... not really strangers..." She did not want to deceive Fergus any longer.
