His Eagle Eyes on Me

Shelly wavered at Courtney's words.

Hayden was a brilliant man, and she could not help but wonder how his child would turn out.

However, it would be a torment for the child to be born into a family that struggled to make ends meet, and if the child could choose, they might not want to be born into the world only to suffer.

If she chose to give birth to the baby, the baby would be considered Hayden's illegitimate child.

"Look, you are hesitating." Courtney studied Shelly's face. "Reconsider, Shelly!"

"I've thought about it for days, but I can't afford to give birth to the baby. I don't have the time or money. I can't work while taking care of a child... nor can I get my mom to help on that front. My mom is ill, and my brother is just going into university..." Shelly said hysterically. "This isn't the right time to bring a new life into the picture."

"Shelly, you are thinking too much. Your mom is recovering, right? Which means your dad can go back to work soon. Once he starts working again, they won't need you to support them." Courtney knew that Shelly was under a lot of stress and felt sorry for her. "I already told my parents that I want to start a business. They might give me some money to try. Once I have the money, we will open a cafe, and you can leave your child in the cafe. We can take care of the baby together!" Courtney said. "Don't be so pessimistic, Shelly! My parents started out with nothing, and my mom ran around with my dad looking for business partners when she was pregnant with me. It was hard, but not as hard as you think it is."

"If I choose to give birth to the baby, I will have to tell my parents about it. My parents won't accept it," Shelly said.

"But you haven't even tried telling them, have you? Why don't you tell them now, and see how they react?"
