“You’re not allowed to say you’re useless anymore. I don’t like hearing it.” “Okay. I won’t self-deprecate anymore. I’m an outstanding man.”Elisa said smugly, “Of course. There’s no doubt that the man I’m in love with is the best.”They spent some time together in the office before Elisa left as she had an appointment with a client. Remy saw her off with a longing gaze. Seeing his reluctant look, Elisa stopped and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. She said, “I really have to go to the appointment. I can’t miss it. I’ll pick you up from work after I’m done.“Smile for me. I like to see you smiling. Your smile healed my broken heart.”Remy grinned. “I’ll pick you up instead.”“Okay. I have to go now. You can go on with your work.”Remy stood before the elevator and watched Elisa enter. He only went back after the doors closed and his girlfriend was no longer in sight. Meanwhile, at Queen Enterprise in Jensburg, Kevin’s car stopped at the company’s entrance. He honked for
Kevin quickly took the high heels off once he entered the elevator. He had no idea that wearing high heels was so tricky. No wonder Hayden did not like them and refused to wear them. She was unwilling to return to wearing women’s clothing and preferred dressing up as a man. She also refused the dresses and high heels he gave her. He said he wanted to see her in women’s clothing, and she expressed her wishes to see him crossdress too. Kevin decided to do it on that day. He wore a wig and a dress. It was a small matter. Even putting on some makeup to soften his features was easy. However, the heels were difficult to get used to. He kept stumbling and could not walk in a straight line. Luckily, he was in Jensburg. He did not tell everyone that he was Kevin York either. Otherwise, he would have made the entertainment news headlines if the journalists were to find out. Kevin was even holding a bag, which contained a set of his casual clothes. He would change in Hayden’s offi
“But you’re different. Your features look feminine, so you don’t appear as manly as I do when you dress up as a man. You’ll definitely look stunning in women’s clothing. You’re a woman, after all. Let’s exchange our clothes. I paraded myself in this outfit for you.“You don’t even have to walk around in women’s clothes. You only have to change into them in your lounge and let me look at you.”Hayden was speechless. Kevin actually wore ladies' clothes to her company. Hayden eyed him from head to toe. She could not resist laughing and said, “You look good in a dress, just a little too masculine.”“That’s because I’m a man. I'll always look like one even if I dress as a woman, just as you'll always look like a woman despite disguising yourself as a man for over twenty years.“Hayden, I don't expect you to publicly wear women's clothes like me. Let's go to your lounge, exchange clothes, and let me see you in a dress. I'm curious about how you would look."Kevin stared into Hayden’
However, Hayden also felt genuinely happy whenever she smiled. She was sure of one thing. The change in Kevin’s feelings was noticeable. At first, he only approached her due to his grandmother’s arrangements. Then, he fell in love with her. After sitting for some time, Hayden got up and walked toward the lounge. Kevin had already changed into casual wear but did not have shoes. They were in the car. When he looked at the pair of high heels, he bent over and was about to throw them into the trash can. “Why are you throwing them away? You should keep them. Those are heels worn by the third young master of the Yorks.”Hayden’s teasing rang in the room. Kevin looked over and saw her leaning against the door with her hands in her pockets, bearing a faint smile. “Don’t throw the dress too. Keep them. It’s too bad I didn’t take a picture of you in a dress and a wig.”Hayden looked regretful. She walked to Kevin and took her hands out of her pockets to straighten his shirt.
“Kevin,” Hayden called coldly. Kevin snapped back to his senses. He was about to step forward when Hayden said, “Stand there and take your phone out. You’re allowed to take two pictures of me. I’ll change into my clothes right after. I probably won’t wear women’s clothes ever again after this.”Kevin got his phone and said, “Okay. I’ll take the photos immediately. Don’t change back yet.”He quickly snapped a few pictures of Hayden with his phone. Although she had no makeup on, she was a natural beauty. After wearing a dress and wig, she looked exactly as he had imagined. She was absolutely stunning. Kevin took pictures from several angles. Hayden went into the bathroom afterward. Kevin snapped a few more pictures of her figure from behind and the way she walked in a dress. She was beautiful. Kevin could not hide his smile after he finished taking pictures and kept looking at them.Then, he chose the prettiest picture and set it as his wallpaper, so he could see her b
Knowing that Hugh had come for the drama, Hayden sighed and unlocked the door. Hugh opened the office door and said, “Where’s Kevin? I heard he dressed up as a woman. Did he come to our office?”Hugh looked interested. He had rushed over as soon as he heard the news just so he could catch a glimpse of the scene. To think Kevin would dress up as a woman and lie about himself being his own twin sister. For generations, the York family had been without daughters. Though no one could be sure if he actually had a twin sister, nobody would be unaware if he did as the elders of the Yorks would have spoiled her rotten. Hayden looked unfazed. She asked coldly, “Who did you hear it from?”“Many people were talking about it. I rushed over as soon as I heard. So, is it true? Have you seen Kevin wear women’s clothes? Does he look pretty?“I never thought he would dress up as a woman for you. I’m dying of laughter.“Are you touched, Hayden? Kevin treats you pretty well. Although he appro
Hugh laughed. “Look at him, Hayden. He prioritizes you in everything.”“Shut up,” she rebuked. Hugh chuckled while rubbing his nose, but no longer dared to laugh with that same cheekiness.Hayden then glared at Kevin too. Despite that, Kevin laughed and did not get mad.“Kevin, everyone said you came over dressed as a woman. I didn’t believe you’d go to that extent for my sister. Do you want to prove it with your actions?”Kevin looked at Hayden and said, “I don’t need to prove anything to you so long as your sister trusts me.”Hugh rested his hand on Kevin’s shoulder, leading him to the sofa. As they walked, he said, “I’m your future brother-in-law, so you can show yourself in a dress to me. You won’t lose anything anyway, and it’s such a shame I can’t see it when others have.”Kevin gently removed Hugh’s hand and settled onto the sofa. “If anyone’s to blame for missing out, it’s you. I won’t dress as a woman anymore unless your sister wishes to see it.”Hayden already had Ke
Jacob returned the greeting. He looked at Kevin, then Hayden. There was pity in his gaze when he looked at the latter. Hayden was the most outstanding young talent he had ever seen. He would have wanted to set his daughter up with Hayden if he had one of similar age to Hayden. Jacob never thought Hayden was unlucky enough to be targeted by Kevin, someone so thick-skinned at that. Hayden had clearly expressed that he did not like men, yet Kevin kept bothering him. One after another, Kevin’s love rivals gave up as they could not compete with Kevin. They were not as shameless as him, and Hayden did not give them any chances either. Though these women hated Kevin, they could do nothing about it. “Yes. I’m waiting for Mr. Queen to get off work. We’re having dinner together.”Kevin understood why Jacob looked at him one kind, but he could not care less about how others perceived him; everyone thought he was gay. However, they had no idea that Hayden had deceived them. “Hay, I’ll
“I just need your confirmation, Nana. Just one word. Is Imogen the Chameleon Fox?”“You should ask her. I’m not Imogen.”“Nana.”Dylan almost kneeled. “I regret my decision, Nana, okay? Can you tell me?”Grandma May poked his forehead. She said, “There’s nothing you can do to reverse time.“I might’ve been too bossy, Dylan. I chose you and your brothers’ wives without getting permission and forced you all to pursue them. I was in the wrong, not you.”Although she did it for the sake of her grandsons, it was considered overstepping. “Don’t say that, Nana. My brothers and I are willing to accept the choices you made for us. We’re blessed to have you to choose our future partners. Our parents are delighted as well.”His parents and uncles were glad and relaxed that they did not have to worry about the boys’ marriages. Grandma May had a good eye for people. The girls she chose were definitely outstanding. “Since you’re willing to accept my choice, why didn’t you do as I said
“I wasn’t this old when I chose Callum’s and Kevin’s wives. I still had energy, so I spent lots of time investigating the girls’ backgrounds. When it came to you, Peter, and Austin, I didn’t spend as much effort on background checks because I didn’t have the energy.“If Imogen is Silver’s student, it’ll only be more difficult to investigate her. It’s ‘the’ Silver we’re talking about. He’s in charge of the intelligence in the Imperial Force. He has the largest information network. Investigating his student is basically having a death wish.“Although he has retired, he has many successors. All of them have even surpassed him.“I’m bold, but I’m not gutsy enough to offend just anyone. How could I possibly offend the Imperial Force when I know just how formidable they are?“Now, we’re on good terms with the Imperial Force thanks to Zachary and Serenity’s close relationship with the Johnsons. Mr. Patrick is also the assistant of Serenity’s maternal grandmother. Those two connections gra
Dylan supported Grandma May as they walked back. He consoled her, “You have to look at it from another perspective, Nana. It’s only one day in the entire year that you’re unhappy, while you’re generally happy in the rest. Although you don’t have daughters or granddaughters, your sons and grandsons have married other families’ lovely daughters. “Don’t you feel great that other families’ daughters are accompanying you and treating you well?”Grandma May burst out laughing. “Now that you mention it, I do feel great. Your maternal grandmother must be the one who’s upset.”“Of course. Many people are envious of you, Nana.“For having such filial grandsons. The nine of us have never embarrassed you.”Grandma May smiled and said, “I feel like your lips are coated with honey, Dylan. Look at those sweet words coming out of them.”“I’m usually like this.”“Your words aren’t this sweet usually. Come. What do you want to tell me?”Grandma May knew everything, yet she pretended to be cluel
Since Serenity was also an owner of the villa, she assigned rooms to Hayden and Camryn before returning to the master bedroom. She kept feeling that something was missing as Zachary was not around.Carrying the baby bump around was tiring.Although Serenity was used to having Zachary by her side, she fell asleep quickly as she was exhausted. The night passed peacefully. New Year’s Eve had arrived. It was a busy day. After a family dinner in the evening, people who were close acquaintances of the Yorks went to Wildridge Manor to watch the fireworks. The atmosphere was lively. However, fun times would always go by quickly. Soon, it was the second day of the new year. It was the day when the York family’s daughters-in-law would visit their families. The fact that their families resided in Wiltspoon made the trip convenient. Zachary, Serenity, Liberty, and Duncan went to the Stones’ residence. Since Audrey was Serenity and Liberty’s aunt, they would visit the Stone
While Grandma May and her granddaughters-in-law had settled down, Zachary and his two brothers were still waiting for their wives. As the sky was getting darker, Zachary could not help but give Serenity a call. “Why are you and Nana not back yet, Seren?”“We won’t be going back tonight, babe. Nana said we’ll return after breakfast tomorrow. We’re staying in your villa in the high-end neighborhood now.”Zachary replied, “I already had a bad feeling when Nana brought you guys out.”As expected, Nana had “kidnapped” their wives.Serenity laughed. “Go to bed early. We’re singing now. Hayden is a pretty good singer.”“You should rest earlier. Don’t stay up too late. You’re still pregnant.”Zachary reminded her.“Mm. I will. I’ll hang up now. Let’s talk again tomorrow.”“Okay. Sonny came over this evening and asked where you were. I said you went shopping, and he said why you didn’t wait till he came and if you didn’t miss him.”Serenity smiled. “He called me afterward and told
Grandma May brought her daughters-in-law to Zachary's villa. The butler did not go home to celebrate the new year. Instead, he had brought his family over upon obtaining Zachary’s permission. Sam was a disciplined person. Although he had brought his family over, he would still watch over the house properly and not let his family enter the main house.He was Zachary’s butler and had his own quarters. He did not live in the main house. Sam was surprised to see Grandma May and her granddaughters-in-law coming over late at night.“Have you all come by yourself, missus?”Sam opened the gates for them and asked Serenity, who had lowered her window. He was worried that Mr. York might have made Mrs. York angry and that she had come over to escape him. It would be New Year’s Eve tomorrow. Logically speaking, Serenity should have been at Wildridge Manor. However, upon seeing Grandma May, Camryn, and the rest, Sam finally figured it out. Grandma May must have been feeling mischievo
“Dylan didn’t really disobey you, Nana. It’s simply because his partner is Imogen.“If it weren’t for Zachary telling me, I wouldn’t have thought Imogen would have that many identities. She hid all of them well. Dylan couldn’t find a thing even after investigating it for a long time.”Serenity smiled and added, “As expected of Silver’s best student. She’s definitely different.”Grandma May was being extremely nice to Dylan.She had chosen Silver’s student for him. The legendary masters and their students were the true big bosses. Any one of them could rival Julian. “Dylan was trapped by his dream. He couldn’t escape it.”Grandma May sighed. “I don’t know what happened. He never met Sugar before. I can’t believe he dreamt of her before I gave him a picture of her. He even had the same dream several times.“Maybe they were just fated to be together.”Camryn smiled. “It must be fate. Maybe they were husband and wife in their past lives.”“You’re amazing, Nana. How did you know
Once Dylan arrived home, he went looking for his nana first. Grandma May was not in the manor. She was in one of the houses at the foot of the hill. Dylan did not search the houses one by one. He simply gave her a call. Grandma May picked up the call after some time. “You’re back, Dylan? I thought you weren’t planning to come back.”She chuckled. “How are things going? Have you found your little fox? Your elder brothers have already succeeded in getting their women. The three of you are the only ones left.“Peter is quicker than you. He said he could bring his fiancée back in a few months. Austin is probably doing better than you too. They aren’t you.”“When are you coming back, Nana? I have something to tell you.”Dylan requested Grandma May politely as he did not want other people to be present.Grandma May could roughly guess what Dylan wanted to do. She said, “I’m not in the manor. I’m out shopping with Serenity and won’t be back so soon. If you have something to say,
“The wind is strong, Mr. and Mrs. Brown. Please return home. We’ll be heading back as well.”After Liberty took everything her ex-in-laws had prepared for Sonny, she said goodbye to them, and under their gazes, she walked toward Duncan and Sonny, who were waiting for her.Sonny had already gotten off Duncan’s shoulders.Duncan had also returned to his wheelchair and held Sonny in his arms. They waited for Liberty to return. When Duncan saw the bags in Liberty’s hand, he told Sonny, “Help Mom hold some of the stuff, Sonny.”“Okay.”Sonny slid down and went to grab his luggage. He could pull the luggage along since it had wheels.Liberty let him.On the other hand, Duncan took some bags from Liberty’s hands and placed them on his thighs. He said, “Why are there so many things? I remember there wasn’t this much when we sent Sonny over.”“Dad bought me new clothes and toys. I really can’t take all the toys, so some of them were left in Dad’s house. I can play with them the next t
