Chapter 1312
Hayden was dressed in a suit. Her features were handsome, and her figure was tall and straight. She dressed as a man for many years and had deliberately gotten a fake Adam’s apple, so no one except her closest relatives knew that she was a woman.The Queen family was also very protective of their children and would not let the outside world get information about them.Therefore, when Hayden appeared in public in men’s clothes, others thought that Mrs. Queen had two boys and called Hayden “Mr. Queen”.Hayden entered with a bunch of supplements for the elderly in her hands. She placed them on the bedside table and saw that the old woman was the only one in the ward. She asked soberly, “Granny, where is your grandson?”“I just woke up, so I don’t know where Kevin went. Maybe he saw me asleep and went out to buy something. Have a seat, Mr. Queen.”Grandma May was about to sit up.Hayden quickly pressed her down. “You can’t sit up right now. The doctor said you have to lie down for a

Hayden continued, “As far as I know, you’re free to do whatever you want in Wiltspoon. No one will dare say a word against you if you want to go anywhere.”Grandma May was speechless.This trick worked very well with Serenity, but not against Hayden.Hayden would not offer to accompany the old woman.At that moment, Kevin came back.He indeed took advantage of the fact that his nana had not woken up yet to take care of business.It was close to noon now, and he packed lunch from his hotel and sent it over for his nana to eat.From a distance, he saw a few black-clad bodyguards walking around at the entrance of his nana’s ward. He knew that it was Hayden who came to visit.Kevin felt helpless.He knew that his grandmother was looking forward to her grandchildren starting families of their own, but that was no excuse for shoving a tomboy at him.He really did not feel any sparks for Mr. Queen.Seeing Hayden was like looking at a handsome man. Kevin felt that he would be gay if

“Kevin, find a reason to invite her to a meal at one of our hotels.”Kevin paused. “Nana… What excuse am I going to use to invite her? ‘Thank you for scaring my nana until she was hospitalized’?”Grandma May was speechless.Then, she said, “You’re a smart boy, you can think of something. Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. Mr. Queen is a great person and is a perfect match for you. Your mouth never stops chattering, but Mr. Queen doesn’t talk much. You two won’t be bored together.”“Nana, you’re also calling her Mr. Queen. When I look at her, it’s really as if I’m looking at a man. She won’t admit that she’s a woman either. You keep trying to push us together, but I feel like I’m looking for a brother instead of a wife. It feels like I’m gay.”Grandma May laughed. “She’s very convincing at playing the role of a man, but experienced people will be able to tell by hearing her voice. Her deliberate deep voice is different from your natural baritone. Her voice is still

“Just be happy with what you have. Although I worry about your marriage, I’m not like that old friend of mine. I’ll help you find the right girl according to your character so that you’re free to develop feelings for yourself. I’m showing you more than enough respect.“Your parents are also irresponsible. They only know how to nag you a little but never take any action. That’s why a pack of old bones like me had to get her hands dirty.“I know you guys scold me every day for being overbearing.”Kevin immediately defended, “Nana, we’ve never scolded you, much less for being overbearing. Our nana is the smartest. We all love you very much.”Their parents only nagged them about getting married but never took any action. They simply let the old woman do the heavy lifting instead because they knew the boys respected her the most and would not be angry no matter what she did.Even Zachary and his temper gave in to his nana in the end.Besides, Zachary and Serenity were very happy now,

Lily had a habit of going on a stroll after eating.Mrs. Lewis looked at Duncan.Duncan and his three brothers were talking about the recent trends in the stock market.He did not notice the conversation between Lily and his mother, much less his mother staring at him.It was his second brother who noticed first. He nudged Duncan and whispered, “Mom is looking at you. I think she wants you to do something.”Duncan turned to look at his mother and smiled. “What’s up, Mom?”Why was she looking at him like that?“Lily wants to go on a stroll. Go with her.”Mrs. Lewis did not expect this son of hers to appreciate the pains she was taking, so she spoke bluntly and told him to accompany Lily on a walk.Duncan looked at Lily and said, “Ms. Harmon, you’ve lived in my home for a while now, so you should be familiar with the environment here. You can’t go very far, so you can just walk by yourself. You won’t get lost.”Mrs. Lewis’s expression darkened. She almost wanted to throw someth

Duncan’s three brothers did not dare say more.They were afraid their mother would blame them for spoiling Duncan if they spoke up for him again, causing him to still remain single at the age of thirty-six.Duncan accompanied Lily out of the house. The two strolled casually along the paved path in the courtyard.However, Duncan’s pace was fast.Lily wore high heels, so she struggled to follow him.“Duncan.”Lily was not the type who was willing to suffer for the sake of others. She jogged up and reached out to pull Duncan’s hand.“What is it?”Duncan’s attitude toward Lily was neither good nor bad. He did not hate Lily, but he just did not feel a spark with her.He also did not like how his family was arranging a girlfriend for him without his consent.“Are you running a race with me?”Duncan’s dark eyes flashed. “Didn’t you say you wanted to take a stroll? Even if you wanted to race, you can’t race after just eating. It’ll upset your stomach.”Lily paused before stating, “

Lily agreed. “I’m like that too. I only talk about work while I’m at work, and no talking shop while I’m resting.“Duncan, can I ask you some questions?”Duncan replied, “Go ahead.”“Our parents want us to be a couple, and I’m quite pleased with you. You can say that I like you very much, but it’s definitely too early to say that I love you. However, I believe I will be able to fall in love with you with time.”In Lily’s eyes, Duncan was her target.She liked him and wanted to conquer him, but when it came to love... Even she did not believe she loved him now, let alone Duncan.There was no such thing as love at first sight when it came to them.“However, you keep running away from me. Is it because I’m not good enough? Or do you have another person in your heart?”Duncan did not expect Lily to be so blunt about it.She did not hide anything or beat around the bush. Instead, she asked him directly. This character of hers was quite suitable as a friend.He looked at Lily. For

Duncan did not like his mother setting him up with girls, but he had to admit that Lily’s words were reasonable.“After talking about it, I think we share similar views, and you also think I’m excellent. Why don’t we give it a try? If you still can’t fall in love with me, I won’t continue to pester you.”It was not like Lily had no other suitors.Duncan was silent.“Do you have someone you like, Duncan?”“No.”Duncan denied that he had someone he liked, but the image of that once-fat figure gradually slimming down flittered in his mind.He adamantly denied to Zachary and the others that he had any feelings for Liberty.Why did he suddenly think of her now?He liked Sonny, not Sonny’s mom.Duncan snapped back to his senses and hurriedly waved Liberty’s figure out of his mind, not daring to think about her again.Lily smiled. “Since you don’t have anyone you like, let’s give it a try. If you have someone you like, tell me who she is and I’ll see how I’m inferior to her. I’ll t
