Chapter 1983
Kevin returned to his car. The head of security waved his hand, and the gate was opened. With that, Kevin drove his Maybach into Queen Enterprise with swag. A few minutes later, the tall and handsome Kevin swaggered into the company building with several bags in one hand and a large bouquet of flowers in the other. “Mr. Kevin.” “Mr. Kevin.” As he walked, everyone who saw him greeted him with respect. Kevin had a good temper. He responded to everyone who greeted him, giving the people of Queen Enterprise the impression that he was easy-going. He did not have the airs of the third son of the Yorks. In fact, out of the nine sons of the Yorks, apart from Zachary who had a flashier status, the rest were quite approachable. Even for Zachary, he was not pretentious but only had bodyguards with him to prevent admirers from getting close to him. This was not Kevin’s first time at Queen Enterprise. He went up to the top floor with ease. “Mr. Kevin.” Hayden’s secretary was a

The elders in Queen Enterprise were also of the same generation as Mr. Donald. In a way, they watched Hayden grow up and knew his character and abilities very well. Putting aside Hayden’s identity, they admired a young man like him and hoped that their daughters could make him their son-in-law. Kevin was someone who appeared unexpectedly and disrupted the situation. Given that he was a man and the third son of the Yorks, anyone who wanted to do something to him would have to consider the Yorks and the Buchams who had his back. Now, even the Stones, who never used to deal with the Yorks, would help the Yorks. Therefore, no one dared lay a hand on Kevin. They could only scold him behind his back for being shameless. It was not a problem that he was gay, but he infuriated everyone else by trying to make Hayden, who was deemed the most ideal son-in-law candidate by many elders, gay as well. After throwing away the breakfast Kevin brought, Hayden returned to her seat and sat d

“Mr. Hayden, Mr. Kevin is here,” announced Hayden’s secretary respectfully. Hayden did not turn around. She just waved her hand, indicating that her secretary could go out. The secretary invited Kevin to sit down on the sofa in the waiting area of the office and once again went to pour a glass of warm water for him. Afterward, he quietly left the CEO’s office and closed the door for Hayden and Kevin. Once the secretary left, Kevin got up and walked to Hayden’s side. He extended his hand toward her. Hayden turned to look at him in confusion. “Mr. Hayden, give me a cigarette to smoke. I haven’t smoked for a long time, and seeing you smoke makes me want to smoke too.” Hayden kept quiet for a while before she fished out a pack of cigarettes. She pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Kevin. “Lend me your lighter.” Kevin borrowed a lighter from Hayden. He seldom smoked because Serenity and Jasmine did not like the smell of tobacco. Moreover, Zachary and Josh were quitting

It was not that women did not smoke, but women who smoked were still in the minority. “I only smoked because you’re here, Mr. Kevin. I’m usually in a good mood and won’t smoke,” Hayden answered. Kevin chuckled and asked, “Are you saying that I put you in a bad mood? Tell me, Mr. Hayden, how are you in a bad mood? Am I ugly? I’m not ugly. If you look at me, you’ll only find me pleasing to the eye.” Hayden glared at him. Kevin was not afraid of her glare. When being glared at by her, he even felt the urge to touch her big beautiful eyes. Of course, he could only think about it at the moment. He was afraid they would fight if he touched her. It would also ruin his image. “If you dare confirm in front of me that you’re a man, I promise I won’t appear in front of you anymore in the future.” Kevin knew Hayden was displeased because of his pursuit. Hayden was somewhat mad. She reminded him coldly, “Mr. Kevin, have you forgotten the wife candidate your grandmother chose for you

“Mr. Hayden, since you don’t have vases in your office, I’ll send you a few in the afternoon. You can display the flowers I give you in them. Your office will look more beautiful as well,” Kevin said. Hayden did not want to accept Kevin’s bouquet, but he did not care if she liked it or not. He simply put it on her desk. Afterward, he returned to Hayden’s side and reached out to pull her but she evaded. “Kevin York, please behave yourself and don’t get handsy.” “Don’t you always stress that you’re a man? No one is at a disadvantage when a man pulls a man’s hand. What are you afraid of?” After saying that, Kevin forcefully pulled Hayden to the sofa in the waiting area. “I also bought you a set of clothes and a pair of shoes.” He picked up the bag with the dress and stuffed it into Hayden’s hand. As for the bag with the high heels, he took them out for her and put them on the floor, saying, “Sit down and try these on to see if they fit. I visually measured your feet and boug

“It’s almost lunchtime now. Let me treat you to lunch. I’ll send you back to work after that, and I’ll leave,” Kevin suggested to Hayden. “That’s not necessary. I’ll be grateful if you just leave. Kevin York, please just give me a break.” Hayden was going crazy. Kevin had only pursued her for two days, but she could not take it anymore. He had endless tricks up his sleeves and always had a way to restrain her, angering her and rendering her helpless. Hayden thought that she must have been Kevin’s enemy in the past life, which was why he was persistently seeking revenge on her in this lifetime. Kevin responded seriously, “Hayden, I truly like you. I’m serious about you, and I’m genuinely pursuing you. I might be shameless and thick-faced, but I’m trying to pursue my wife, so I must be shameless. “If I’m diffident and give up easily after being scolded and rejected by you, I’ll have to be single for the rest of my life. It’d be a pity for a man as outstanding as me to be sing

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
