“Thank you, but no thank you. Since you’re not drunk, please get out of the car.”Hayden refused Kevin’s invitation to supper.Although she slept for quite a while, she was not hungry.It felt like she had dinner not long ago.Dinner was prepared by Kevin himself. Whether it was grilling the meat or vegetables, all the credit belonged to him.Hayden also admitted that Kevin’s cooking was excellent.She was very satisfied as she ate.“Why don’t I take you to the night market?”“Not interested. Please get out of the car, Mr. York. I already sent you back to Fortress Hotel as my father asked.”Kevin did not move.“Please get out of the car, Kevin York!”Kevin continued to sit without moving and said shamelessly, “I’m hungry and want to have supper. Accompany me. I didn’t eat much during dinner because I was drinking with your dad, so I’m peckish now.”Hayden instinctively retorted, “You had two bowls of soup and four glasses of wine. You also ate a lot of grilled fish, chicken
Kevin caught up with Hayden and reached out to hold her.“Hayden, you can’t socialize anymore today, and it’s still too early to rest, so let’s go shopping. Tell your bodyguards not to follow since they’ll be too conspicuous. They’ll attract attention.”It was normal for two men to go shopping together.However, if Hayden took her bodyguards along, they would be easily recognized.Hayden shook off Kevin’s hand and said coldly, “Kevin York, I’m busy. I’m not going shopping. Stop following me!”“If you don’t want to go shopping, then accompany me to supper. I don’t have an appetite to eat alone. The food will only taste good if you’re with me.”Hayden glared at him and was just about to walk away when Kevin pulled her back again.He said something to her in a low voice, and her expression instantly darkened. She glared furiously at him for a long time and snapped, “We’ll eat at Jensburg Hotel.”“As long as you accompany me, we can eat anywhere.”The two hotels were so close that
“There are ghosts, but not everyone can see them. They only appear for a fraction of a second, so you’ll miss them if you blink.”Hayden pursed her lips silently.What nonsense.The two of them walked out of the hotel from Hayden’s secret passage. There were indeed very few people on the street, and the traffic volume had decreased. The street that was originally busy just two hours ago gradually calmed down.“It’s so late, so I can’t take you shopping even if I wanted to. All the shops are closed,” Kevin grumbled.Hayden warned him coldly, “Don’t send dresses, high heels, or jewelry to my office again!”“I just want to see how amazing you look when you change back to women’s clothes.”Hayden’s expression was dark. “I wear men’s clothes.”Her wardrobe was full of men’s clothes. She had not worn a dress since she was a child, let alone high-heels. People who were used to walking in large strides like her would probably not be able to walk in high heels.She did not like jewelry
“However, I really couldn’t find any hint that you were actually a woman. Later, Callum and Serenity both suggested that I pursue you directly. I felt that time was running out, so I took their advice. It was that time I arranged for a sea of flowers for you and officially started pursuing you.“I found your reaction incredibly interesting, so I started liking doing stuff like that. I don’t know if I’m in love with you now, but I’m sincere in wanting to pursue you and marry you.”Hayden was silent.This man started to pursue her openly because of Callum and Serenity.They really screwed her up.That was how her quiet life was shattered.If Kevin stuck with his original plan to find clues that she was actually a woman, it would take him several years to find any.She had acted as a man for more than twenty years, so her acting could be said to be perfect.“Hayden, this is the first time I’m interested in a woman, so I won’t give up on you. Unless you can make me fall in love wit
“Bro, why didn’t you answer your phone?”“I put it on silent. That damned Kevin York!”Hayden scolded Kevin, then asked her brother, “How did you call my hotel room when you’re at home?”“I’m at the hotel. I’m at the front desk now. Chuddy is here too. We came to pick you up to go home for lunch. Also, you’re on the trending search with Chuddy again. Go check it out if you’re in the mood. I wonder if you’ll reach the top of the trending list.”Hayden immediately hung up the phone, put down the receiver, and sat up on the bed. Then, she took her mobile phone, turned off silent mode, and turned on the ringtone.She then went to check out Jensburg’s trending news.Sure enough, she was on the list again.The photo was secretly taken when Kevin and she went out for a walk last night.The paparazzi were really amazing. The two of them left the hotel through a secret passage, and it was already dark at that time with few people walking in the street. However, the paparazzi still manag
“My brother is here.”Hugh wanted to inform Kevin, but unexpectedly, Kevin got up and stepped forward with the two bags.Hugh muttered, “What sharp eyes and quick movements.”It was no wonder he dared to pursue his sister, and his sister had to put up with it.When other people saw Hayden being pestered by Kevin, they wondered how the two would end up. However, Hayden’s twin brother viewed that his sister was indulging Kevin’s pestering.Who is his sister? How amazing was she? Could she really have no way of getting rid of Kevin?It was clear that she also appreciated Kevin. That was why she indulged him in his continuous pestering of her while acting as if she was helpless about it.Oh, of course, those were just thoughts he harbored secretly. He could never speak of them aloud, or his sister would give him a severe beating.Hayden’s handsome face hardened when she saw Kevin walking over.Kevin approached, saw her expression, and smiled. “Isn’t your face tired from tensing al
Hugh liked this future brother-in-law too.Meanwhile, in Wiltspoon, Liberty told her son last night that they would go to the hospital today to visit his father.However, Sonny slept until it was late in the morning before getting up. After having a light meal, the sun was already scorching outside by the time they were ready to leave.Sonny carried his small backpack and followed behind his mother as they went downstairs together.Inside his backpack were some snacks that he said he would give to his father.“Mom, should we buy a bouquet of flowers?” Sonny asked Liberty as they walked.Liberty stopped and waited for him to come closer. She then held Sonny’s hand and walked with him while asking, “Do you want to buy flowers for Dad?”“Yes, I would like to. I also brought money. Those people on TV always bring flowers when they go to the hospital.”Sonny was not as enthusiastic about going to kindergarten as he was at the beginning. However, he had had a more sensible and mature
Liberty walked over.“Mr. Lewis.”Duncan looked at her with a deep gaze. “Liberty, I’m also going to the hospital today. I knew you were taking Sonny to see his dad, so I came here to wait for you both and go together.”Actually, he did not need to go back to the hospital as it was not the time for a check-up yet.It was just an excuse.He did not feel at ease letting Liberty and her son go to the hospital by themselves.Duncan was worried that the Brown family would brainwash Liberty and try to convince her to reconcile with Hank.Hank had gone through life and death and would surely understand who was truly suitable for him. No one knew whether or not he would listen to his family and pursue Liberty again.Back then, Hank had despised Liberty for becoming fat and ugly, but it was Hank who had cheated on and betrayed Liberty. How could he have the dignity to remarry her?Duncan was still worried although Liberty had also said that she would not remarry Hank.Even when Libert
After a moment of silence, Imogen said, “You don’t like spicy food. Even drinking some spicy soup feels like taking poison to you. You don’t have to make yourself suffer. Just go back and never appear before me and my family again.“You’ve never liked me from the start anyway.”The person he loved was Chameleon Fox.Although it was one of her aliases, Imogen still felt that Dylan did not love her.She was probably the only person in the world who was jealous of herself.She raised the window and drove away.Dylan returned to his car and started following Imogen’s car from behind.Imogen initially wanted to go shopping with her friends. Upon seeing Dylan following her, she changed her mind and went home.When they arrived at the Doyles’ mansion, Imogen was able to drive inside while Dylan’s car was denied entry. Luckily, Leticia and the rest were not home.Otherwise, Dylan would be in trouble.He waited in front of the gates for some time. A security guard walked over and kn
A few minutes later.Imogen wanted to pretend she could not see the “statue” at the entrance of the company, but Dylan rushed out and blocked her way. Fortunately, she was not driving at a high speed and was able to stop the car immediately.She lowered the car window and scolded, “If you want to die, don’t die under my tires, Mr. Dylan. I don’t want to dirty my tires.”“I’m sorry for choosing such a dangerous way to stop your car, Imogen. However, you wouldn’t have stopped if I didn’t do this,” said Dylan apologetically.“What business do you have?”Imogen took a few deep breaths and added coldly, “It’s late and cold. Why are you standing here? Don’t blame me if you fall sick from the cold. I didn’t order you to stand here.“If you catch a cold, it's your problem. I’ve already said I didn’t need you to treat me to a meal.”Dylan smiled. “Considering that I’ve stood here for so long, will you do me the honor of letting me have a meal with you?”He handed her the frozen bouque
Imogen enjoyed the time she had spent with Grandma May. Therefore, she did not want to trouble the old lady.“I heard Old Mrs. York is a playful old lady. She loves having fun. She’s very healthy as well. I want to invite her to our place. She’ll be able to witness some interesting scenes.”Imogen replied, “You should unleash your dissatisfaction on Dylan, Layla. Don’t disturb Old Mrs. York. While she’s healthy, she’s already eighty. She shouldn’t travel far distances at her age. We won’t be able to bear the consequences if something happens.”Old Mrs. York was the anchor of the York family.Imogen dared not risk her safety.She liked Grandma May and the Yorks.Her teacher had also said he could be at ease if she were to marry into the York family. If it were any other family, he would be worried about her husband or his family mistreating her.“Does Old Mrs. York know how to use WhatsApp?”“Yes. She’s good with electronic devices.”“Okay. Give me her number. That way, I can g
Layla scoffed. “Who knows if you’re truly sincere?”“I know you all won’t believe me no matter what I say, Ms. Doyle. I’ll prove that I’m serious about Imogen through my actions.”Dylan spoke with honesty, “If there’s a sliver of possibility that I’m playing around with Imogen’s heart again, you don’t have to teach me a lesson. My family will gladly do the honors. Besides, I’m not that kind of person. Back then, I thought of developing a relationship with Imogen because of Nana’s orders.”“That’s right. You listened to your nana and came to pursue Jen for three months. Jen was young and naive. Just when she started getting attracted to you, you ran away and said you realized you couldn’t fall in love with her.“Is Jen’s love worth so little? Would you even have given an explanation if Jen didn’t go to you for one?“It’s been months since then. Just as Jen has moved on, you reappear and disrupt her peaceful life. You came back to pursue her because you couldn’t get the woman you lo
“We can talk about this next time. By the way, Layla already left.“I still have some work to do. I’ll hang up now. Don’t call me again even if the world is ending. I’ll hate you if you disturb me and make me work till late at night.”Dylan said, “Okay. I won’t disturb you. Go on with your work. Remember not to exhaust yourself.”Imogen hung up without another word.Before Dylan could even put his phone back into his pocket, he saw a luxury car exiting the parking lot.Since it was past working hours, most employees had already left.That luxury car probably belonged to Layla.Dylan had met members of the Doyle family before. However, he did not have a deep impression of them.Layla Doyle was the president of Davidson Group. Although there was still a board of directors above her, she still called the shots for most matters.Therefore, she was extremely busy. Back when Dylan deliberately approached Imogen and treated her well to pursue her, he had only seen Layla once from afa
Dylan smiled. “Look, Imogen. It’s dark, and it’s time to have dinner. Aren’t you hungry? Why don’t you come out and have dinner with me? I can take you back to the office to continue working afterward. What do you think?“How much work do you have left? I bought two movie tickets. We can go watch a movie after you’re done working.”Imogen rejected him coldly. “I’m sorry, Mr. Dylan. I’m not free. I’ll be heading home for dinner after work. Since it’s a rare day where I don’t have to attend an event, I want to have a good rest.”She had already made an appointment with a few of her best friends to go shopping at eight o’clock that night.She had no time to accompany Dylan.How could he think of having dinner and watching a movie together? It had only been one day since he decided to pursue her again.Dylan could dream on.Imogen had not even admitted she was Chameleon Fox. How could she possibly accept him?Did he think she was an easy target?In the past, Imogen had loved him s
“Besides, he caught a cold just from standing outside for half an hour without his jacket last time. He was only fine because he drank some spicy soup and took some medicine. Also, he has a strong body, because if it were other people, they would’ve fallen sick.“I just wanted to torture him a little. I don’t want him to die. I still need him so I can marry into the York family.”Layla smiled. “The York family has many young masters. It doesn’t have to be him. His cousins are of similar age as you, right?”“Peter is close to my age, but he already has a fiancée. Austin already has an arranged partner too. River and the rest are too young. Even if they were offered to me, I wouldn’t want them. I don’t like being the older one in a relationship.”Rowan was not even a legal adult yet.Layla said, “Okay. Old Mrs. York is a weird lady, but I can’t deny that she has a good eye for people.“I think Dylan isn’t even good enough for you. He can’t win against you in a fight, and his IQ and
If Imogen hated the noise and excitement in the air, she would not have snooped around as Chameleon Fox. That identity allowed her to explore and have fun. Sometimes, she would step up to help someone or be a troublemaker and offend someone.Layla walked over and sat down. She watched Imogen’s charming face and smiled. “That York guy is here again. He’s waiting at the company’s entrance. He has a bouquet in his hands, and his new car is parked behind him.“It looks like he wants to invite you to have a dinner date with him.”Layla asked, “What is he trying to do? Are you still planning to accept him?”Dylan had been living in a hotel since his arrival in Huntington. He was already looking at houses but had not found one he liked yet.Grandma May suggested he learn from Remy and buy a house right beside the Doyle family's. It would make it more convenient for him to pursue Imogen.However, none of the Doyles’ neighbors intended to sell their houses. Those people did not lack money
Imogen did not give Dylan a reply. She was still in the office.She did not even have time to look at his messages. She just wanted to finish her work as soon as possible so she could leave and eat.Did Dylan not need to work?He also had a company under his name. Even if he was not involved in managing York Corporation, he still had to manage his own company, right?Imogen was extremely busy.She had been overwhelmed with work since she resumed working yesterday. She would be at a meeting, on her way to see a client, handling documents, or solving issues at a branch company.Imogen barely had time to take a sip of water, let alone reply to Dylan’s messages.Seeing Dylan being so relaxed while she was working so hard put her in a bad mood. Her urge to ignore him gradually increased.As her parents had mentioned, she had other men to choose from. Dylan was not her only option.She could fall in love with someone else.Even if Imogen were to choose Dylan in the end, she would m
