"Shelly, what's wrong?" Mrs. Taylor walked toward the adjacent restroom, holding her phone. "Why are you breaking up with Hayden all of a sudden? Did he do something to you? Tell Mom. I'll definitely stand by your side." Shelly choked on her tears. "Mom, Hayden didn't do anything wrong. I just realized that we're notpatible. He doesn't depend on me. The only reason he stays withis because I gave birth to our two children. If another woman had children with him, he could marry her as well." Mrs. Taylor's expression was filled with disappointment. "But didn't you say you really liked him? Didn't you want to fight for this opportunity?" "I did think that way before, but I regret it now. I'm scared. I don't deserve him at all, so why should I hold him back?" Shelly wiped away her tears. "Mom, I'm sorry. I've let you down." "Are you sure you've thought this through?" Mrs. Taylor asked.
"Mom, I have. I've thought it through," Shelly replied.

"The Fosters will letvisit them, but let's discuss that later!" Shelly said.
"All right, then. When do you plan toe back to the country?" Mrs. Taylor asked.
"I won'te back for now. When I decide to return, I'll let you know," Shelly replied.
"Do you have enough money to get by?" Mrs. Taylor asked.
"I have enough," Shelly replied.
After ending the call, Mrs. Taylor returned to the private room and took her seat.
"Hayden, I just talked to Shelly. She's going through semotional turmoil. She feels that she's not et worthy of you and doesn't want to hold you back, so she has gone into hiding. Mrs. Taylor apologized: "I'm sorry for the trouble this has caused." Avery chimed in, "Perhaps we rushed things, and it scared Shelly. Let's give her stime!" "I agree," Mrs. Taylor said.

After that, Mr. Taylor and Elliot had a few drinks.
Mrs. Taylor immediately patted his shoulder and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" Mr. Taylor pulled away from his wife stubbornly.
Avery smiled. "Please speak freely! Though our children can't get married right away, I already consider Shelly my daughter-in- law!" Mr. Taylor flashed Avery a thumbs up and said to Elliot, "Mr. Foster, here's the thing... I think we might need to change Aiden's name! According to our hometown's custom, the eldest son's namel cannot sound too much like mis father's name, or it can bring bad luck to the father! Aiden'Snis far too similar to Hayden's!" Elliot, Avery, and Hayden all fell silent.
Elliot was the first to snap out of it and said in surprise, "There's such a custom? If that's what you think, let's think of a different nfor Aiden." Mr. Taylor slammed his palms onto the table in excitement. "Let's think of a nnow! We won't leave until Aiden has a new name!" "Sure!" Elliot agreed.
With that said, everyone started thinking of names for Aiden.
