"I realized that I'm still young, so I don't have to rush into marriage," Hayden said.
"Why would you think that you are still young, Hayden? Just look at you. Your skin isn't as smooth as before, and you are aging. A human body's aging process speeds up once they are past twenty-five years old, so your body is just going to deteriorate more as the years go by."
"Don't try to make me anxious about my age. If I'm growing old, so are you. We are the same age."
"Damn, you are so stubborn." Layla turned to look at Avery. "Mom, help me out."
"Hayden, do you think that all the girls we introduce you to are beneath you?" Avery asked.
Hayden instantly fell silent.
"Hahaha! So that's what you really think, Hayden!" Layla burst out laughing.
"Mom, that's not what I think. I'm busy, and, even if I marry someone, I won't be able to spend time with her. I might as well wait until my business stabilizes..."
"Didn't it stabilize a long time ago?" Avery asked, confused. "You've been working for over a decade. Do you have no intention of adjusting your life?"
"There's a new direction that I would like to work toward. It happens to be a breakthrough for my company..." Hayden started going into detail about his business plan.
Avery was not overly concerned about his career as she was confident that Hayden had his own plans for the future; her only concern was his love life.
Hayden had always been alone. He did not have a girlfriend nor many friends, and he had never brought anyone back to meet his parents. Layla and Robert, on the other hand, had at least introduced their friends to Avery.
