His Eagle Eyes on Me

"I don't lack anything! I have purses at home," Shelly said.

"I know you have everything," said Hayden coldly. "But I don't want people to mistake you for our daughter's nanny the next time you go out with her."

"Even if people mistake me, I don't mind." Shelly followed him, clutching her bag. "Life is already hard enough, and if we also worry about what others think, wouldn't it be even more exhausting?" Hayden glanced at her. "You do have a good attitude."

"Isn't it better to live each day happily?" Shelly quipped. "Regarding the bag you bought for our daughter, we don't even know when she'll be able to carry it. It's too big!"

"Then she can treat it as a toy. She likes pictures on it," Hayden replied nonchalantly, not concerned about the bag's price as long as their daughter liked it.

Perplexed, Shelly asked, "If you wanted to buy her pictures, couldn't you have just bought her pictures? It's so expensive, what a waste!"

"If you think it's a waste, then you can carry it for now." Hayden dismissed the price of the bag, caring only about his daughter's happiness. Even if she stopped liking the bag the next day, it wouldn't matter. All he cared about was Audrey's smile when she saw the bag.

"I didn't mean that. I'm saying you shouldn't randomly buy things anymore. She doesn't understand anything right now and finds everything fresh and exciting. You can't buy her everything, can you?" said Shelly, trying to reason with Hayden.

"Don't treat our daughter like a fool, okay? When we were choosing the bag just now, she wasn't interested in the other ones as much. It shows that she has her own tastes," Hayden said, noticing his daughter's little hand waving toward a jewelry store.

Without hesitation, Hayden immediately carried Audrey into the jewelry store, leaving Shelly confused.

"Audrey is only half a year old! Is it even appropriate to buy her jewelry? A child can't wear jewelry!" she thought.

"Hayden, I've read some professional parenting books, and they say that children shouldn't wear jewelry because their skin is delicate, and it could cause scratches." Shelly caught up with Hayden, trying to calm him down.

Hayden remained unwavering. "We'll treat it as a toy and not let her wear it, then."

"... A toy?! Is he seriously buying jewelry as a toy for our daughter?!' Shelly exclaimed inwardly.

"If you want to buy toys for our

daughter I know where the toy store

is a toy store. We can go there Shelly suggested, aware that this

brand of jewelry was very expensive.

"We'll go to the toy store later. For now, let's buy jewelry for our daughter." Hayden decided and started browsing the display cases with Audrey.

"Hello, Sir. What would you like to buy?" the saleswoman asked warmly.

"When my daughter points to

something, I'll let you know," Hayden replied and the saleswoman glanced at his daughter, wondering

if such a small child has the ability to select items.

Soon enough, Audrey stretched out her little hand and waved it toward the display case, as if she was saying that she wanted it all. "Bring out all of these," Hayden instructed.

Shelly felt like the world had gone mad and thought, "This is definitely indulgence! The books say that one mustn't spoil a child!"

"Why don't I pick?" Shelly was worried that Hayden would overspend and wanted to take control of the situation.

Hayden saw right through her and did not listen to her. "You go ahead and pick out whatever you want. I'm taking our daughter to pick what she wants."

"Forget it, then. You two can do the shopping, and I'll wait outside."

"Call Eliam for me and get him to send a few men over to carry our things," Hayden said after glancing at the shopping bags in Shelly's hands.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

"Are you seriously going on a shopping spree?"

Hayden remained composed. "That depends on our daughter."

Shelly was at a loss for words and gave up on talking to him.
