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

“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

Kevin felt that he was in top form right now, then only he knocked on the door.“It’s me, Hay, Kevin.”As Hayden had just woken up, she heard Kevin’s knocking. She lingered in bed for a couple of minutes before reluctantly getting up and walking to open the door for him.“Hay, good morning.”Kevin presented the bouquet of flowers to her with a look of deep affection and said, “Hay, this bouquet is for you. May you be as beautiful as a flower every day, with a smile always on your face.”Hayden’s lips twitched as she looked at him, then at the bouquet in front of her. Finally, she reached out to take the bouquet and remarked, “You came early in the morning to disturb me just to give me flowers?”“I came to have breakfast with you and, by the way, give you this bouquet.“You said the flowers I gave you were beautiful and fragrant, so I decided to give you a bouquet every day. Don’t you like receiving a bright and eye-catching bouquet every day?”Hayden turned around with the bouq

Hayden and Kevin went downstairs. “Breakfast is ready, Mr. Hayden.”The butler stood by the stairs and spoke respectfully. She acknowledged him and went to the dining area with Kevin. The butler did not follow them. Mr. Hayden disliked anyone standing around him while he ate. If he needed anything, he would do it himself. The butler thought Hayden was easy to serve. “I guess your butler doesn’t know that you’re a woman yet.”Hayden gave Kevin a side-eye and said, “Do I have to announce that to the entire world?”Kevin laughed. “No. Only I need to know about it.”“Let’s eat breakfast. I have to go to work later.”“Okay.”Kevin pulled Hayden’s chair out for her. He said, “I didn’t come early enough. I could’ve prepared breakfast for you if I had arrived earlier. When my house is ready, I’ll move over and cook for you every day.”Renovating a villa would take a long time. It would be his abode in Jensburg, and he had high expectations, so the renovation progress was slo

Serenity said, “It’s not just Sonny. Even I want to stay in my bed in the morning. Jensburg must be colder, right? I saw my friends posting that it’s snowing there. Wiltspoon doesn’t snow, but it gets cold here when the north wind blows from places snowing there.”Wiltspoon’s temperature could go as low as 45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. During the day, it would usually be about 55. Temperatures like that were not considered cold to those residing in the north, but they were to Wiltspoonians, who were used to warmer temperatures. “Wrap Sonny in more layers. The preschool’s winter uniform isn’t thick enough.”Sonny was only three years old. It would be a lie to say she was not worried as she was not by his side. “He’s already wearing more layers. Don’t worry, I won’t let Sonny catch a cold. You must take care of yourself over there. Wear more clothes and don’t fall sick.”“I’m not a child. I know how to take care of myself. Are you heading into the office today? Wiltspoon’s temper
