Chapter 1989
Hayden’s eyes flickered. She asked Kevin, “What do you mean by that? Your sister-in-law and her sister look like Caroline? Does your sister-in-law have lost sisters?” “I can be sure that Serenity only has an older sister, Liberty, and no younger sister. She has a cousin, but her cousin doesn’t look like Liberty.” Kevin continued, “I just found it strange how strangers can share such an uncanny resemblance, so I wanted to ask you if the Fishers have any displaced children—not recently, but decades ago. “Serenity and Liberty can’t be displaced children of the Fishers. I know about the Hunts very well. “However, their deceased mother was an orphan and seemed to have only been sent to an orphanage when she was a few years old. She was later adopted, but unfortunately, she was given to someone else to raise after her adoptive parents gave birth to their own child. She was later given to someone else again, and this was repeated several times. “This caused Mrs. Stone to put in a lo

“Hayden, I envy you. Your parents aren’t anxious about your marriage and don’t rush you at all.” Hayden pursed her lips. It was not that her parents did not pressure her, but they could not rush her. After all, she was dressed as a man. Her parents wanted her to go on blind dates with men, but if she did, she would probably scare the men away. Many people were pursuing her, but they were all ladies. She could not marry them even if she wanted to. As such, her parents were helpless. They could only urge her brother, but Hugh disregarded his parents’ pressure. Every time he was urged to get married, he turned a deaf ear to it. As long as he was out of the house, he would forget what his parents said. His parents were helpless in this. “Mrs. Stone’s maiden name is Fisher. My big brother’s mother-in-law is Mrs. Stone’s younger sister, so her maiden name is also Fisher. Given how Caroline and Liberty look so similar, it’s highly likely that Mrs. Stone is Madam Fisher’s nie
Chapter 1991
Kevin said to Hayden after some thought, “You can, but you have to be careful and leak the news to the Fishers with someone’s help. Don’t do it yourself, lest you get caught in their family’s strife. “Madam Fisher is old, but she’s still in good health. Besides, she has been ruthless since young, so she’s not to be messed with. He teased her as well, “Both the real and fake daughter of the Fishers like you.” Hayden responded, “Caroline only admires me. I made it clear to her that there won’t be any outcome between us, and then she let go of this.” As for Celine, who once thought she was above the rest and would be the Fishers’ future family head, Hayden disliked her since before, let alone now. Not to mention Hayden was a woman, even if she was a man, she would not choose Celine. “Hayden, how about you don’t interfere in this matter? I’ll arrange for someone to spread the word.” Kevin did not want his future wife to be involved in the Fishers’ fight. Hayden looked at hi
Chapter 1992
Hayden was speechless. “Grandma May, you know about me and Kevin?” “Of course. The internet is so developed now. Although it happened in Jensburg, as long as I surf the internet, I can also see it from Annenburg.” Hayden suddenly felt that her attempt to complain through this phone call would fail. Grandma May knew about it, and so did Kevin’s mom. Nevertheless, if Grandma May, who was known as the stabilizing force of the Yorks, did not react to it nor control Kevin, what could Hayden complain about? It would be futile. The outcome would probably be the same as what Zachary said. As long as Kevin was happy, they would not care about who he was pursuing. “Grandma May, I’m a man.” Hayden continued in a low voice, “I’m not homosexual, so it won’t end well if Kevin wastes his time on me. I do think that he’s treating me like this because he doesn’t want to marry the wife candidate you chose for him. “We’ve all heard about the wife candidates you chose for your grandsons,

Kevin said with a smile as he got out of the car, “Okay.” Donald saw that he brought many things over and told him, “Kev, don’t buy so many things when you come in the future. Our family doesn’t lack anything, but if anything at all, we’re lacking two people—my two children are still single.” Kevin giggled and responded, “As long as you and your missus don’t mind, I can take up one of those spots.” “Can you? Will your family agree to it?” “I make my own decisions.” Donald was relieved. He and his wife originally had their eyes on Kevin and wanted him to be their son-in-law. They only dropped the idea when Hayden told them that Kevin had a wife candidate. Who knew, he suddenly started pursuing Hayden passionately by sending her flowers and gifts every day. Well, it had only been two days. Nonetheless, to the Queens, the two days that Kevin pursued Hayden felt like two years. “Donnie, is Mrs. Queen not at home?” Kevin asked because Donald went out by himself. His

Donald was speechless. He could neither admit nor deny it, thus he simply kept quiet, not knowing that his silence was acquiescence, allowing Kevin to further confirm Hayden’s identity as a woman. “You’re not gay?” Donald asked on purpose. Kevin grinned. “If Hayden is a man, then I’m gay. Whether I’m gay or not depends on her.” Donald was lost for words again. He wanted to ask how Kevin knew his eldest “son” was a woman but felt that he would be admitting his daughter’s identity if he did. Hayden would be angry at him again if she found out. “You young people should handle your own affairs. We as elders won’t interfere.” Donald could only cover up like that. Kevin smiled and said, “Donnie, you and Mrs. Queen are open-minded like my parents. I’ll invite you to Wildridge Manor someday when you’re free. My parents can definitely get along with you.” Donald beamed as well. As the two continued to walk out, he said, “We haven’t seen your parents since Mr. Bucham’s wedding.
Chapter 1995
Donald took Kevin to go fishing. The two of them fished for the whole afternoon. In the evening, they returned home with two buckets. Donald’s bucket had over ten fish, whereas Kevin’s had tens of fish. “Kev, you’re so good at fishing. We were both fishing with the same rod and the same bait, but why did the fish always go to your side and take your bait? This is the least I’ve caught since I started liking fishing.” Donald walked and complimented Kevin for knowing how to fish. Kevin responded with a smile, “Donnie, I was just lucky. Perhaps the fish came to my bait because I’m good-looking.” Donald laughed out loud. “Yes, yes, yes, you’re young and handsome. Even the fish are charmed by you. Kev, what else do you know?” “Donnie, I think you should ask what I don’t know. My brothers and I are multi-talented. My nana said it’s always good to have more skills. We learned everything we wanted to learn and those we didn’t want to learn. “In a way, we’re well-versed artistic
Chapter 1996
Hayden was mad, but she still called her brother and asked him to go home for dinner together. “Why did Dad call us back for dinner? Are we celebrating something at home?” Hugh asked. He and his sister normally lived in their respective villas and only went home for a meal with their parents during the holidays. “Kevin went to our house and went fishing with Dad the whole afternoon. Dad said he caught half a bucket of fish. Kevin wants to grill fish, so Dad asked us to go home to try some.” Hayden was resentful as she explained. Kevin was best at fawning over people. Hayden’s dad would not last more than three seconds in front of him and might expose her secret indeed. The same applied to her mom. Hugh smiled and said, “Kevin is really something to have made Dad so happy. Since Dad asked us to go back for dinner, let’s go then. I haven’t had drinks with him for a long time either, so I’ll have a couple with him tonight.” Hayden responded helplessly, “I have a social engag
