After Hayden paid, he took the water from her.
"When you take a shower tonight, make sure your finger doesn't touch water," Shelly said as she looked at his injured finger. "The wound is quite deep. Even when I peel shrimp and get pricked, I have never bled like you did. You scared your subordinates." "It doesn't actually hurt," Hayden said.

Shelly continued walking with him. "Your mom said you've never been in a relationship before. Have you never encountered a girl who made your heart flutter?" "I never thought about it before. Every day when I wake up, I'm faced with numerous challenges at work," Hayden revealed. "When I was very young, I set a goal for myself: to surpass my father's career." Shelly looked at his face, shocked.
"When I was a child, I had a bad relationship with my father, so I was eager to surpass him. I thought I would be able to control my family if I managed that," said Hayden. "So I never had tfor dates." "I haven't been in a relationship either," said Shelly, blushing, "but it's because of my insecurities. I cfrom a small town and went to study in the big city. Even if someone pursued me, I never dared to accept their advances. I didn't even dare to try. I'm a very timid person." "I couldn't tell that you were timid." Hayden recalled the first tthey had been in a hotel together. "If I remember correctly, it was you who took the initiative that night." Shelly's face turned red. "At that time, you were suffering and... I wanted to help you. Of course, it was also because I was enticed by your looks." Hayden watched her.
"That was the most daring thing I've ever done in my life, but I don't regret it." Her sudden candidness left Hayden speechless.
They continued walking for about ten minutes until they reached a commercial street filled with shops selling all sorts of things.
Shelly loved browsing through these kinds of small stores, so she grabbed Hayden's arm and entered a gift shop. "Let's go in and take a look!" She was attracted to a cute plush doll and picked it up and showed it to Hayden. "I think our daughter will definitely like this." "Then let's buy it," Hayden said and asked, "Do you like it?" Shelly nodded. "I do." "Then let's buy two. One for you and one for our daughter," Hayden said immediately.
Feeling touched, Shelly said, "Since we're buying one for our daughter let's buy one for our son too! Otherwise, they'll fight, won't they?" Content belongs to en.sw"Yeah, let's buy one for our son as well," Hayden agreed.

They look festive when placed together." Content belongs to en.swHayden did not like these types of toys but nodded after seeing how cheerful Shelly was about it.
They left the store and continued walking, and Shelly's attention was soon caught by a shop selling unique clothing.
"That shawl looks great! It would look great on Aunty Avery." Shelly walked into the shop and went straight to the mannequin.
Just as she was about to reach out to touch it, the owner of the shop cover. "Miss, this shawl is one of the most expensive items here Please do not touch it if you're not going to buy it.
