Chapter 1954
Kevin took his time in removing his belt as he replied, “You’re not happy to take off your clothes to prove that you’re a man, but I’m happy to do so.” With Kevin close to pulling his pants down, Hayden retorted with a grimace, “I apologize. That came out wrong. You’re a real man.” Kevin was only trying to spook her. It was not like he was really going to take off his pants in front of her. Now that Hayden had apologized, Kevin fastened his belt and said, “I’m more likely to go for it than you are. You act with integrity and transparency. As a matter of fact, you’re a doer, but you seem to overthink and dawdle at taking off your clothes like a woman.” Hayden scowled. “Don’t tell me you’re a woman, Mr. Hayden.” “I can say the same about you.” Kevin chuckled. “I will cling to you more if I’m a woman. I’ll be all over you until you take me as your wife.” “I’m not interested in you. Please don’t follow me around. You are a massive distraction to my life and work.” Hay

Hayden responded, “Your name will be on the list of wedding invitations when the day comes. You will be my best man, but I expect a huge wedding gift.” Kevin laughed. “Of course. I won’t forget the wedding gift. My only concern is that I may never have the chance to become your best man, but I can be your groom. You can keep all the wedding gifts though.” With Hayden gritting her teeth in rage and tempted to kick him out, Kevin happily took off. Something good came out of tonight. One thing was for sure, his nana did not lie to him about Hayden’s gender. She was a woman. Once Kevin was gone, Hayden slammed the door with a loud bang. Hayden was not in a hurry to get downstairs in case others might catch her together with Kevin. There would only be gossip if they were seen together. She sat back down on the sofa, sinking her back against the seat. Furrowing her brows, Hayden fell deep into thought. How did Kevin know she was a woman?Ring, ring, ring…The phone rang.
Chapter 1956
Sophia was shocked. She anxiously followed up with questions, “Kevin knows you’re a woman? How did he find out?” It was the first time anybody ever doubted that her daughter was not a man. Once the shock subsided, Sophia was hit with a wave of a pleasant surprise. For Kevin to suspect her daughter’s gender, it could only mean that Kevin believed Hayden was a woman. It was probably why Kevin was wooing Hayden now. In that case, Sophia’s daughter had a chance to marry into the York family so long as Kevin had no interest in the wife candidate Old Mrs. York picked for him. Sophia was on a roller coaster of emotions. Getting a headache, Hayden replied, “I don’t know what started the suspicion, but I’m certain that I gave away nothing.” The longest time she ever spent with Kevin was over the weekend. Oftentimes, it was only an occasional encounter that was kept brief. They had not hung out a lot. Other people who had been in Hayden’s company daily never suspected she w
Chapter 1957
Sophia said, “Yeah. The Yorks raised outstanding children.” Since Kevin was wooing her daughter and had his doubts about her daughter’s gender, Sophia finally saw hope again. Sophia had always admired Kevin. “Donald, what’s your take about Kevin seeing through Hay’s disguise? She’s been playing a man for over two decades. I wouldn’t believe she’s a woman if she didn’t come from my womb. Hay puts on a convincing show.” “What did Hay say?” “Apparently, Kevin had a gut feeling that she wasn’t a man.” Donald gleefully praised Kevin once more. “The boy has a discerning eye and a keen intuition. He’s definitely raised well.” Sophia had no words. “Honey, it doesn’t matter how Kevin saw through Hay’s disguise. The only thing that matters is that Kevin doesn’t swing the other way, and he’s pursuing our daughter. I’m in favor of this son-in-law.” “Me too.” Sophia grew certain that Kevin would make a good son-in-law. Although nothing concrete had happened between Kevin and H

Hayden callously turned down the offer. “I don’t want to drink with you, Ms. Celine. Excuse me.”Surrounded by her security detail, Hayden walked past Celine. As Hayden brushed past, Celine cried out to Hayden, but Hayden refused to give her the time of the day. Hayden simply walked on. Celine stamped her foot in rage. Although the Fishers were not the wealthiest in Jensburg, the family was in the circle of the rich and powerful. People would always suck up to her every time she attended social events. Celine was no short of suitors, but these men were merely on their parents’ bankroll and had nothing to show for it. Her privileged life with the Fishers gave Celine her arrogance, so Celine believed she deserved better than these men who were living off their parents. Still, all the good and remarkable men out there steered clear of Celine because they knew they would have to take the Fishers’ last name rather than vice versa. Only these incapable trust babies would go for
Chapter 1959
“Kevin York has no shame. Mr. Hayden is giving him the cold shoulder, but he just clings to Mr. Hayden to no end.” Emma looked over at Kevin and commented, “Kevin has advantages over you all. He’s a guy, and I mean, a guy of power and wealth. The Queen Enterprise would think twice before making York Corporation their enemy. Mr. Hayden’s bodyguards couldn’t even stop Kevin.” It only fueled Celine’s jealousy further. After taking another large gulp of red wine, Celine asked Emma, “Where’s Caroline?” “I don’t know where she’s hiding. I didn’t see her.” Emma did not take to Caroline. For starters, Caroline grew up in a rural area. Sure, Caroline had a natural grace to her. It did not take much dressing up for Caroline to outshine Celine now that the former was back in her rightful place with the Fisher family. Still, Emma could not stand Caroline, getting the idea that Caroline was sly. Caroline behaved discreetly and meekly in the Fishers’ residence, but she quietly chippe
Chapter 1960
Many women became upset as Hayden approached Caroline. Celine jumped out of nowhere and came in Hayden’s way. With a dazzling smile, Celine asked, “Mr. Hayden, can I have this dance with you?” Hayden solemnly refused, “I’m sorry, Ms. Celine. I have a dance partner.” She then brushed past Celine and reached Caroline’s table in no time. Caroline was in food heaven when she realized a lot of people were staring at her. She picked her head up and met the gaze of Hayden who was standing before her. Dumbstruck at first, Caroline then flashed her pearly whites at Hayden. “How can I help you, Mr. Hayden?” Kevin tagged along. While Kevin sauntered past Celine, Celine tried to put her foot out to trip Kevin. In Celine’s mind, Kevin was her strongest rival, and his gender did not matter. She wanted her rival to trip and embarrass himself in public. Alas, Celine underestimated her opponent and was too full of herself. To think she would try to outsmart Kevin. Picking up on
Chapter 1961
Hayden very righteously testified for Caroline, “Madam Fisher, I can testify for Ms. Caroline. She had been sitting here eating and only stood up when I asked her for a dance.” “I didn’t say it was you who made Celine fall. It’s just that you were so close to her, and yet you didn’t come and help her up when you saw her fall.” It was no secret in Jensburg that Madam Fisher favored her adopted daughter. As soon as she said that, everyone criticized her internally for being a foolish and inconsiderate old woman. Her adopted daughter fell, and she blamed her biological daughter for not going to help. Did Celine not know how to get up herself? What the hell did her fall have to do with Caroline? “Yeah. Celine fell so embarrassedly, but you just stood there watching, Caroline. Where’s the sisterly love? You didn’t help her up at all. Are you happy seeing Celine being in a sorry state?” The person who spoke was Emma. It was not Caroline’s fault, but she also wanted Celine to
