His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 3073

Hayden instantly fell silent, and Shelly bowed her head.

Ivy immediately said to Hayden, "Since the trouble in your company has been resolved, why don't you come over here and spend a few relaxing days with Shelly? Shelly never really meant to break up with you. She was just informed that your company is in trouble, and she felt guilty for not being able to help. I understand how she feels. She only feels this way because she loves you, or she wouldn't care at all!"

"Hand her your phone," he said.

Ivy immediately handed her phone to Shelly, who accepted it after a moment's hesitation.

Worried that she might get in the way, Ivy said, "I will go to the bathroom."

Once Ivy left, Shelly took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Hayden."

"Why didn't you tell me the truth? Why did you tell my sister instead when she came to see you?" Hayden was utterly confused.

"Because Ivy has experienced hardships before, she might be more empathetic toward me."

"But what if my sister didn't come to see you? Would you have kept what you were feeling inside forever without telling us?" he questioned.

Shelly pursed her lips, unsure how to answer.

"Who told you that my company was facing issues? Was it Eliam?" Hayden pressed on.

"It wasn't." With things having come this far, Shelly did not bother lying anymore. "It was someone named Seraphina. She's more beautiful than me and has a great figure, and her family is wealthy."

"So you broke up with me because you want me to marry her?" he asked.

"Not really. I think that woman is a bit too fierce." She certainly did not want Hayden to end up with a fierce wife out of concern for her twins. Even though the twins were loved and cared for by Avery and Elliot, having a fierce stepmother would not be ideal.
