"I'll hold her. You go inside and see if there's anything missing in the house. I'll have someone buy anything you need," Hayden calmly suggested.
"Alright." Shelly knew deep down that she was unlikely to go wrong if she followed Hayden's lead.
Though she felt a bit guilty for taking advantage of Hayden, she was willing to go along with whatever he suggested if it meant keeping their daughter close to her.
Inside the villa, the air was fresh and untainted; the floors were impeccably clean, and the furniture gleamed with polish.

The bedroom contained all the electrical appliances she would need, and a four-poster bed sat quietly within. Next to it sat a bouquet on the bedside table.
Shelly could not find a single fault with the room.
Just then, Hayden entered the room, carrying their daughter.
At the sight of their daughter, Shelly immediately remembered that something was still missing from this house.
"It would be great if we had a bed rail. Audrey has been sleeping with me," said Shelly. "We just need a single rail just enough for one side." "Wouldn't Audrey roll off the bed from the other side then?" Hayden asked. "The bed Audrey sleeps in has rails on all sides." Shelly said, "If there are too many rails, I think it would be inconvenient to get in and out of bed. Besides, the bed is so large. There's a wall on one side, and I'll be on the other side. As long as she doesn't roll to the foot of the bed, she won't fall off." Hayden agreed. "Then let's also put a rail at the foot of the bed." "Alright." Hayden placed Audre on the bed when his phone rang from his pocket.
It was a call from his mother.
"Hayden, are youing hfor dinner tonight?" Avery asked.
"Mom, I ate out," Hayden replied.
"Oh. Wasn't Shelly supposed toe to our house today? She left in a hurry this afternoon, and I wonder if something happened." Avery wanted her son to show sconcern for Shelly. "She's fine," Hayden replied. "I've seen her, so you don't have to worry." "That's good." Avery was curious. "When did you two meet? Weren't you busy today?" "Mom, givesspace." Hayden was afraid his mother would continue asking questions, and he might slip up and give Audrey away.

Soon, Friday arrived and Hayden returned hearly to have dinner with his family.
"Mom, I want to take Aiden out to play tomorrow," said Hayden, discussing the matter with his mother. "The weather has gotten warmer, and I saw many kids playing outside." Avery was taken aback. "Are you planning to take Aiden out alone?" Hayden nodded. "Yes, what's wrong?" "You don't like taking Aiden out, right? Why are you going out with et him all of a sudden? Can you even take good care of him?" Avery asked worriedly. "I will bring the bodyguard with me. I will take good care of Aiden," Hayden promised.
Elliot was surprised by Hayden's behavior and asked, "What has gotten into you?" "Nothing. I'm fine," Hayden said.
Robert, too, found it strange. "Hayden, why don't Ie along? We haven't hung out for stime!" "That's not necessary. You should go hang out with your friends," Hayden said.
Robert's shoulders instantly slumped.
