“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
“A baby’s face changes almost every day. We’ll only know who he takes after when he’s a little older.”Serenity agreed. “I should call Elisa and share this news with her.”Jasmine probably did not have time to tell her friends about her newborn. Serenity also forgot to inform Elisa because she was too worried about Jasmine. Zachary told her to call Elisa only after they were inside the car. There were too many people in the hospital. Serenity held back her excitement and immediately called Elisa when she got in the car. Elisa was extremely busy at the company. She was the only one who could manage their joint company at that moment because Serenity and Jasmine were pregnant. Even if they wanted to return to the company to work, Elisa would not allow them. Rest was of utmost importance for pregnant women. Elisa was unmarried and not pregnant. She did not mind being busier. She only picked up Serenity’s call after some time.“Seren.”Elisa held the phone in her left h
“All that matters is that you’re okay, honey. Let’s not have more children. We’ll just have this one son.”Josh spoke while holding Jasmine’s hand.Women had to experience immense pain when giving birth. It came with many risks as well. Josh had heard other people saying that a woman usually had one foot in the grave during childbirth.He was genuinely shocked after accompanying Jasmine through her labor. He had been terrified and worried that something would happen to Jasmine.Luckily, everything ended well. Jasmine and their son were safe. However, Josh did not want to experience something like that again. Having one child was enough. There was no need for a second or third child. The Buchams were a big family anyway. He did not have to bear the responsibility of expanding the family alone.“Okay. We shall not have another baby.”Although Jasmine was brimming with motherly love and recovery from a vaginal delivery was quicker, she still thought childbirth was too
It was not just Camila. The rest of the people there also had the same thought. Josh and Jasmine had a great relationship. If something happened to Jasmine, Josh would be devastated and lose all hope of living.“Congratulations. The mother has given birth to a boy safely. The baby boy is six pounds and three ounces.”The people who brought Josh out were the anesthetist and nurse.The nurse instinctively reported the good news when she saw the crowd.Then, she explained, “The father probably fainted from shock after the baby was born. Come over and help bring him to the side to rest. The mother won’t be out that quickly.”Upon hearing her words, everyone’s mood brightened up.Camila, whose legs felt weak just now, was immediately filled with strength and stood up. Without Drake's help, she went to the nurse and asked, “Does the baby need to be in the incubator since he was born prematurely?”The nurse replied, “We’ll put the baby in the incubator and observe him for a while. If
Zachary was also worried that Serenity would go into premature labor out of shock. He also persuaded her to go for her checkup in a gentle voice. They could not do anything but wait anyway.Serenity finally decided to conduct her prenatal checkup first. Zachary accompanied her. Just moments after they left, the door to the delivery suite opened. A nurse stood there and shouted, “Is Jasmine Sox’s husband here?”“Yes. I’m her husband,” replied Josh quickly. He dashed to the nurse. “You must save Jas, doctor. Save the mother no matter what.”His family members behind him also echoed, “That’s right. No matter what happens, you have to save Jasmine.”The nurse said, “The mother is fine. It’s just that she wants her husband to accompany her as she’s in a lot of pain.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Josh was about to rush inside but was stopped by the nurse.She asked him to change his clothes before taking him inside the delivery suite.Jasmine was wailing in pain. When
With advanced medical technology, a premature baby could still be healthy if taken good care of in the incubator. Serenity said, “Jasmine should be at thirty-five weeks. I just don’t understand why she would suddenly go into labor. Did she fall at home?“Or did she eat something that made her go into labor?”Zachary said, “That’s most likely not the case. Josh’s cousin is Jasmine’s dietician and keeps an eye on her food every day. There’s no way Jasmine would’ve eaten something bad unless she ate it secretly.”Serenity and Zachary suddenly went silent. Pregnant women had weird appetites. Once they had a craving, they could not go unsatisfied. Sometimes, they would even crave fruits that were not in season. Serenity herself was one of them. Once, she woke up in the middle of the night craving mac and cheese. Of course, Zachary, the ever-doting husband, had to satisfy her request. However, where could he find mac and cheese at that hour?Ultimately, he had to drive to the
People would reap what they had sown. They would have to bear the consequences of their actions. Sometimes, interfering in another person’s fate would backfire. After chatting for some time, Serenity said, “I have to go for my checkup now, Liberty. Let’s talk again when you’re free another day.“By the way, I’ll get someone to bring Sonny to you this weekend. He misses you.”“Okay,” said Liberty. After the call ended, Serenity put her phone into her bag and stood up. She told the man behind the office desk, “It’s almost time, babe. Let’s go.”“Okay. I’m almost done.”Zachary quickly signed and stamped a document before closing it. He walked over with the document in hand. Serenity and Zachary left the office together. He handed the document to his secretary. The secretary did not expect him to pass the document to him personally. He had thought of entering Zachary’s office to request it later. The secretary watched Zachary and Serenity leave. He could not believe
Lilian often messed with the medicinal herbs her master cultivated, which led to her being chased and scolded by him.It seemed her son had inherited her restless nature.“How’s Sonny been lately?”Liberty had been on edge these past few days because Caroline had been preparing to lure her three brothers into a trap and had not had time to call her son.“Same as usual, but it seems like things have soured again with the Browns.”Serenity added, “Sonny still answers when Hank calls him, but he doesn’t seem happy when his grandparents visit. He doesn’t like going to the Browns’ place, and he doesn’t want to take their calls either.“Hank’s mother and sister are truly incorrigible. They must have been badmouthing you and Duncan in front of Sonny again, which is why he’s upset with them.”During the holidays, Sonny had stayed with the Browns for a few days and started to warm up to them.However, who would have thought that the mother and daughter would start spouting nonsense in f
Once the baby was born, he would apply the knowledge he had learned over the past few months to care for the baby. He was determined to be a competent and responsible father.Serenity released her arms from around him and shifted to her side.Zachary let go, too, allowing her to turn.Then, she planted countless gentle kisses on his face.“Babe, with you here, the baby and I will be just fine. Don’t worry too much,” Serenity comforted softly after kissing him.“You are my rock. If even you are nervous, I’ll start feeling anxious too, and that won’t be good.”Hearing this, Zachary immediately said, “Seren, don’t worry. I’ll protect both of you. Alright, I won’t be so nervous anymore.”He gently touched her rounded belly again. “Lil’ Bun should be a calm kid. He’s not that mischievous.”He felt that the baby’s movements were not too intense.Serenity wanted to tell him that there were times when the baby kicked more vigorously, but she decided against it, knowing it would only m
“Just hit the gym a few more times. Lately, you’ve been spending less time there.”Every day after work, he would come home and orbit around her. As a result, he had less time to work out.It was normal to gain a few pounds eating well and exercising less. Did he really think he could eat anything without gaining weight?The reason he could maintain a model-like physique before was that he exercised daily.“Ow.” Serenity suddenly cried out in pain.This startled Zachary so much that he nearly jumped up, asking anxiously, “Is it stomach pain? Are you going into labor? Let’s go to the hospital right away.”He was about to pick her up, but Serenity stopped him by pressing his hand.“Don’t be so nervous, Zachary. It's not time yet. It’s not happening so soon. It’s just the baby kicking again. His kicks are getting stronger.”As she entered the later stages of pregnancy, the little one inside her was growing stronger. Sometimes, a couple of kicks from the baby could actually hurt.
