The host family, after recognizing them, was also taken aback for a moment.However, they quickly recovered their composure and approached them with unchanged expressions.Kevin and Hayden were already a couple, a same-sex couple nevertheless. Both families had no objections, no interference, so what could these outsiders who felt uncomfortable do?It was their freedom.Whether Hayden acted as a woman or Kevin dressed as a woman, it was their choice.“Mr. Kevin, Mr. Hayden.”The host family was the Readings, and Old Mr. Reading was in his eighties but still robust and active in Jensburg’s business community.They held a considerable reputation in local business circles. Otherwise, Hayden would not have attended their banquet.“Mr. Reading,” greeted both of them politely.He smiled and said, “Please, come in.”He led them into the house without commenting on Hayden’s female attire.Other members of the Reading family did not have Old Mr. Reading’s composure and occasionally l
Would that actually be the case?Was Hayden indeed a woman, cross-dressing as a man before, or was he now cross-dressing as a woman?Everyone was confused by Hayden.However, no one dared to clarify.Some of those who had good relations with the Queens tried calling Donald and Sophia. Alas, nobody could reach them because their phones were turned off.Hayden was welcomed into the main house by Old Mr. Reading, and gracefully took a seat.Mrs. Reading, Old Mr. Reading’s daughter-in-law, kept looking at Hayden several times, hesitating to speak.She and Sophia were acquainted. They played cards, went shopping, and had meals together, so they were somewhat friends.“Mrs. Reading, if you have something to say to me, feel free to speak openly without reservation.”Hayden noticed that Mrs. Reading wanted to say something and took the initiative to ask, to avoid avoiding her voiceless staring.Old Mr. Reading looked toward his daughter-in-law.She hesitantly said, “Nothing, I just t
“Mr. Queen… Are you saying you’re a girl?” Matilda Reading stammered, strongly indicating disbelief that Hayden was a girl. Hayden looked at Matilda, who was also looking at her. From Matilda’s expression and gaze, it was evident that she really hoped Hayden would deny it.Even though Matilda gave up pursuing Hayden after not getting a response, she still hoped that Hayden was a boy. At least, that would mean her crush on Hayden was not misguided.If Hayden was a woman, then Matilda would doubt her own orientation, mistaking a girl for a boy and admiring her.Matilda could not remain calm just thinking about it.Not to mention Matilda, no one could remain calm upon hearing Hayden stating that she was a girl.After a moment of silence, Hayden said, “I said I’m a girl, believe it or not, it’s up to everyone.”She would not explain herself.If it were not for Kevin, she would not even bother saying it. She did not care how others perceived her.She raised Kevin’s hand, “Both Kev
Tonight was originally the client’s meeting with Hayden, but Hayden did not come back to the company in the afternoon and had social engagements in the evening, so Hugh took over. Hugh was Hayden’s twin brother, outstanding in various aspects, but compared to the shining presence of Hayden, Hugh always fell a bit short.“It’s not that my brother ran into trouble, it’s that my brother created trouble, and now the trouble has found its way to me.”As Hugh finished speaking, his phone rang again. He said to everyone, “See, another call is coming. Why don’t they call my parents? They always call me. I’ve been brothers with Hayden for more than twenty years. While we may be close, we’ve never shared a bed or bathed together. How would I know if my brother is a man or a woman?“As far back as I can remember, I’ve always called him brother.”Hugh found out that his brother was actually his sister when he was already an adult because his parents told him.However, he never sought confirm
Gossips often spread the fastest.It was within a short time that news about Hayden, the dream lover of countless girls, the head of Queen Enterprise, and quite possibly a woman, spread throughout the upper echelons of Jensburg.Everyone who received this news was utterly surprised.Even Belinda, who was watching over Hunter in the hospital, was taken aback upon receiving this news.Sitting by the hospital bed, she suddenly smiled. While laughing, she said, “So that is what it was. No wonder.”Belinda laughed inexplicably and said a couple of bewildering things, startling Hunter, who nervously watched his elderly wife, unsure of what had happened.Hunter had preserved his marriage through self-castration, preserving the wealth of the Clark family exchanged with his years of freedom. He had nothing else to desire in the future and dutifully stayed by his old wife’s side.Yet, Hunter knew that even though he had castrated himself, cracks in their marriage still existed. It was jus
Belinda started to smile again.She felt more at ease now.Deep down, she really hoped that Hayden could become her son-in-law. It was evident that Hayden treated Caroline very well.Although Caroline was not a stunner, she was not unattractive either. Belinda and Hunter were quite good-looking when they were young, especially Hunter, who was a handsome man in his youth. That was why she was drawn to him.Belinda had believed that Caroline was Hayden’s cup of tea.Now she understood that Hayden was not disliking anyone but was a girl herself.“Hayden isn’t gay?”Hunter was puzzled. “Then why would he accept Kevin?”“Take a guess.”“I can’t.”With a chuckle, Belinda said, “Hayden attended the Reading family’s banquet tonight wearing a formal dress. Since Mrs. Reading and Mrs. Queen are acquainted, Mrs. Reading might have spoken a few words to Hayden when she saw him in the dress. She made passing remarks, and Hayden replied by saying he was originally a woman but dressed as
“Carol’s marriage, sigh, it worries me too. Her mindset is different from ordinary people.”Thinking about her own daughter who said she would have a child out of wedlock as her successor, as long as the child did not want the father, Belinda found it distressing. Even though Belinda's marriage with Hunter had issues in later years, after decades of being together, there might not have been love but there was still affection. Having a companion in old age at least prevented loneliness. What did having sons and daughters matter? When children grew up, they have their own families, work, and earn money. They had their own children to care for, leaving very little attention for their parents. One should not even think about children being by their side every day. The one who could stay close was the spouse. After the incident between Hunter and Celine, Belinda was furious. In the end, she drove Celine away and demanded Hunter to live in seclusion while not divorcing him or
The hospital room regained its tranquility. As the night deepened, the city gradually settled from the hustle and bustle into calmness.The next day, at Lake Edge, a Maybach stopped at the entrance of Hayden’s private villa.The person getting out of the car was Kevin. Today, in addition to a bouquet, he carried a few delicate bags.He walked up to the villa’s entrance and rang the doorbell.After a while, the butler came out to open the door. Seeing it was Kevin, the butler smiled. “Mr. Kevin, good morning. Mr. Hayden had not woken up yet.”Hayden returned very late last night.However, he often came home late every night due to his busy work and numerous social engagements.Hayden stole the limelight at last night’s banquet.Hayden did not stay at the Reading family’s place for long, having made an appearance and greeted some familiar CEOs to talk business for about half an hour. She then left with Kevin and the security team.Upon returning home, Hayden immediately chan
