FreeNovelRobert immediately paused and looked up the stairs as the cry cfrom the second floor.
"Is there a baby here?" he thought.
Mrs. Taylor paled, desperately wishing she would hurry upstairs to take care of Audrey. However, she could not do so because Robert had not left.
"Mrs. Taylor, is there a baby upstairs?" Robert asked with a sheepish smile.
Mrs. Taylor nodded stiffly. "Yeah! I have a relative over, and they have a child. I didn't know you wereing. I'm so sorry about that!" Robert smiled. "It's fine. It's normal for you to invite relatives over. I won't tell Hayden. Besides, he won't say anything even if he finds out. Relax and enjoy the holiday! I will get out of your hair now." After seeing Robert out of the door, Mrs. Taylor sighed a heavy breath of relief.
Samuel went upstairs and called his father down.

"I don't know why she's crying so hard. I offered her snacks, but she kept pushing them away. It means she's not hungry..." Mr. Taylor did not know what to do with this little troublemaker.
Mrs. Taylor placed Audrey on the couch and skilfully opened up the diaper to take a look.
"She's crying because her tummy hurts, and she needs to poop... Could you please bring swater?" Mrs. Taylor said. "Samuel, go get the diaper and wet wipes." Samuel and Mr. Taylor immediately went into action.
After spending forty minutes in the car, Shelly started feeling a bit sleepy.
She took out her phone, pulled up her favorite rastation, and put on her Bluetooth earphones.
"Do you listen to the radio?" She handed one of the earpieces to Hayden. "I really like this host. Do you want to listen?" Out of curiosity, Hayden took the earphone she offered.
Her earphones were so clean they looked almost new.
As soon as he put them on, he heard a pleasant female voice.
The woman spoke in a calm and soothing manner, like a friend having a casual conversation; it was indeed quite relaxing to listen to.
After a while, music started playing.
Hayden was not well-versed in music, but he could tell it was a selection of niche foreign songs. The melodies were lively, and they helped alleviate sof his fatigue. Listening to the music, Hayden picked up the chewing gum she had given him when they had gotten in the car.
Just as he was about to ask if she wanted one too, he noticed that she was leaning against the seat and her eyes were closed. It looked like she had fallen asleep.
Shelly had woken up very early today; not because she wanted to, but because she was nervous about going on this team-building trip with Hayden.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen people have something on their minds, it was normal to have trouble sleeping.
Shelly could not fall asleep until it was almost dawn so she only had a few hours of sleep before her alarm clock woke her up.
After waking up, she stood in front of the mirror and put on smakeup.
Because of the lack of sleep, herplexion was not great, and she had prominent dark circles under her eyes. She would have looked exhausted had it not been for the makeup she dabbed on. Seeing how soundly asleep Shelly was, Hayden started to feel drowsy as well.
After the song ended, Hayden picked up the phone that Shelly had placed between them, wanting to see if he could turn off the radio.
He pressed the power button on her phone, and he was taken to the main screen. Her phone had been left unlocked. Her phone was an older model, a bit chipped, but it was crystal clean.
After turning off the radio, Hayden noticed that there were several notifications from someone. That person had sent her many messages.
Hayden did not have a habit of snooping on other people's messages, but he found himself clicking on Shelly's messages. Once the messages were opened, he saw that they were all from Courtney.
[Shelly, did you put on makeup today? It's a date after all, don't be too casual! When men say they don't care about a woman's appearance, it's all a tie! Even though you look pretty without any makeup on adding swon't hurt! Make sure to win him over during this outing!] [Have you set off yet? Have you talked to him? You haven't been replying to my messages. Are you two sitting together?]
