Chapter 1806
Donald had overdrunk. Kevin, who had good alcohol tolerance, indulged in drinking.Mrs. Queen scolded her husband, “Kevin is a generation younger than you. He could be our son, yet you called him ‘bro’. This form of address isn’t right. There’s an issue with seniority.” At first, it did not concern Kevin. At the thought that his nana wanted him to marry Hayden, Kevin felt there was indeed an issue with seniority if his future father-in-law called him “bro”.He laughed without saying a word. He left Mrs. Queen to scold her husband.Donald burst into laughter and said, “Kevin and I regret not having met earlier. Kevin, I treat you as my friend. We’re good friends despite the great difference in age. You can come over for a meal or drink whenever you’re available.”“Alright. No matter how busy I am, I’ll put my work aside and come over to drink with you as long as it’s your treat, Donnie.”Hayden’s mouth twitched.“Dad, Mr. Kevin is busy with work, unlike you who takes a hands-off

Hayden turned a blind eye to her parents’ act.She initially wanted her bodyguard to disguise himself as Kevin’s chauffeur to send Kevin back to the hotel.Donald said, “Hay, send Kevin home since he drank quite a lot. I’m worried that he’ll feel sick and have no one to look after him during the journey.”Hayden replied, “I got it.”She must be adopted. Her parents were not even this thoughtful and concerned about her and her brother.Under her parents’ request, Hayden had no choice but to let Kevin get into her exclusive car. One of the Queens’ bodyguards drove Kevin’s Maybach back to the Yorks’ hotel.After the car drove out of Queen Manor, Hayden tilted her head and looked at Kevin, who was resting with his eyes closed while leaning against the seat.“Are you drunk, Mr. Kevin?”“I’m not, but the after-effects of the wine are strong. I’m feeling a bit dizzy. Even so, I’m still able to think clearly.”After keeping quiet for a moment, Hayden said, “My parents are very fond of

“Look at what industry Kevin is in charge of. F&B isn’t York Corporation’s main business. Ever since Kevin started to manage the business, it has emerged as a leader in the industry.“How wonderful it would be if this outstanding kid becomes our son-in-law.”Donald sighed. “Hay is already twenty-eight, yet she refuses to revert to her female identity and isn’t interested in anyone. She’s planning to be a man forever and, worse still, a single man.”Sophia said, “As I said, she has always enjoyed disguising herself as a man since she was young. I let her be when she chose to be a brother to Hugh. When they were young, they looked cute and so much alike. It was hard to distinguish their gender.“Now that she’s all grown up, I can’t leave her to continue disguising herself as a man, but you said it was up to her. You even said she has an aura of an elder brother, so it’s okay for her to act so. Look. She has been a man for over twenty years now and is reluctant to switch back to her r

When they were close to the hotel, Hayden woke Kevin up and said to him, “Mr. York, we’re almost reaching your hotel.” Kevin sat up and glanced outside the window. It was a familiar sight.He said apologetically to Hayden, “I’m sorry for sleeping throughout the journey.”“No worries.”Hayden thought it was good enough that he did not pass out completely. Otherwise, she would have had to look after him the entire journey.“Mr. Hayden, where do you usually stay?”Hayden kept quiet for a moment before she answered, “I bought a villa in Lake Edge, and I usually stay there since it’s close to the office. It’s about a ten-minute drive.”If she had stayed with her parents in the manor, it would have taken her one hour of drive to return to the office. She would not be able to sleep longer.Hayden had a disciplined lifestyle. She would never be late to work. By half-past eight in the morning, she would have arrived at the office, which was considered early among the senior management.

Kevin giggled and said, “I don’t mind if the house is expensive. I want it as long as it’s nice and suitable. Mr. Hayden, when are you free to take me to view the house?”“Since it’s quite late now, it’s not convenient to do so. Let me leave a number for you. When you’re free tomorrow, you can contact this number. Someone will take you there to look at the house.”“Alright. Thank you so much, Mr. Hayden.”Kevin thanked Hayden.Hayden gave Kevin her housekeeper’s number. “Mr. York, this is my housekeeper’s number. You can contact her, and she’ll help you contact the villa’s owner to take you on a house tour.“The house owner said that she wants to sell the house. She purposely left her contact number to her neighbors, saying that anyone who’s interested in buying the house can contact her.”“Alright. I’ll contact your housekeeper tomorrow. Thanks for your help, Mr. Hayden.”Hayden replied nonchalantly, “It’s no trouble at all. You’re most welcome, Mr. York.”He might not buy tha

After Kevin entered the hotel, he was not in a rush to head upstairs. Instead, he walked to the lounge on the ground floor. He then took out his phone to call his nana.Grandma May picked up his call and said, “Kevin, you still remember me, b*stard. I only told you off, and you ran away from home.”“Nana, I didn’t run away from home. I just came to Jensburg on a business trip. Now, I’m at Fortress Hotel.”Grandma May snorted. “Since you’ve gone to Jensburg, you should spend quality time with Hayden. That’s how you build relationships. Trust my taste. Both of you are suitable for each other.”One of them was talkative, whereas the other was silent. They could complement each other.Kevin looked around and saw no one. Only then did he whisper, “Nana, how did you find out that Hayden is a woman? From what I observed, she doesn’t portray feminine beauty and acts manlier than I do. Whenever I walk with her, it gives me the false impression that we’re buddies.”Grandma May giggled and

The York men would not commit such preposterous acts.“I believe I’ve raised you guys well. All of you are nice, capable, and responsible young men. You won’t do those things. It’s been a while since I practiced self-defense. I might not be as agile as before, but I can still summon my strength to deal with you if you ever do those things.Kevin said, “Nana… Can you at least wait for me to finish my sentence?”“Well, you didn’t say it all in one shot. How dare you blame me. It’s only because I’m your nana that I tolerate you.”“Nana, I’m going to take a look at a house tomorrow, and I need a psychicdiviner. He doesn’t need to be competent. Most importantly, he’s able to lie and twist things around.”Bewildered, Grandma May said, “I understand that you need a psychicdiviner to look at the house, given that buying a house is a big matter. If you buy a house with bad energy, your life will be negatively affected. The most dreadful thing is buying a house with the worst energy because
Chapter 1813
Grandma May was not at all worried. She merely faked her worry for Kevin.After Kevin hung up, Grandma May contacted a diviner and requested the diviner to fly over to Jensburg with his apprentice. Their flight ticket, meals, and accommodation would be covered. All they needed to do was contact Kevin and listen to his instructions.The diviner heartily agreed.After settling Kevin’s matters, Grandma May was in a cheerful mood. She headed to her eldest grandson’s house at night. When the butler heard the bell ring, he went to open the door, only to see Grandma May. Sam was dumbfounded. While opening the door for her, he asked, “Old Mrs. York, you should call us before you come over so we can pick you up. Did you come here by cab?”Although Grandma May could still drive, she was already old. Her grandchildren forbade her from driving even though she was physically strong. They wanted the chauffeur to drive her wherever she went.“My chauffeur sent me here. He left after I got out of
