Hayden: “…You are also blessed by your grandma. She discovered that I am a woman, not you.” Kevin chuckled, “Yes, yes, I was indeed blessed by my grandma. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have known you were a woman, let alone consider pursuing you. When my grandma gave me your photo and told me to pursue and marry you, I thought she was mistaken. I was concerned that she wanted me to marry a man, which made me think I might end up gay. While she insisted you were a woman, I struggled to believe it. Looking at your photo, you clearly appear to be a handsome man, which initially made me resistant to the idea of pursuing you. I feared people would label me as gay. At first, I wanted to expose your identity as a woman, but unfortunately, I lacked the skills for that. You are truly remarkable at pretending to be a man. It took my grandma considerable time to investigate and confirm that you are indeed a woman.” Hayden suddenly realized, “No wonder I sensed you had been suspicious of me for a while, doubting whether I was a woman but also thinking it impossible since we rarely met before.” “And what happened next?” Hayden asked curiously. She felt a growing affection for him and was willing to gamble on him for the rest of her life, wanting to understand his thoughts and how he gradually developed feelings for her. After all, anyone who confronted her believed she was a man. A typical man wouldn’t be attracted to her, and a man with unconventional preferences wouldn’t dare pursue her even if he liked her. Kevin replied honestly, “It was my love consultants who advised me to pursue you directly. They said that if I spent too much time trying to prove you were a woman, I might never get the chance to chase you. It would be a waste of time.” Hayden asked, “Your love consultants?” Kevin answered, “My brother and sister-in-law.” Hayden: “…” No wonder Kevin suddenly confessed his feelings to her.

He publicly declared his intention to pursue her, creating quite a stir in Jensburg. Since that moment, he had been incessantly bothering her, and her ears couldn’t find peace. In comparison to the numerous admirers she had dealt with in the past, her ears were much quieter now, as Kevin was her sole suitor. Occasionally, Shiloh would step out to make soy sauce, but she felt powerless against Kevin and, as a result, had stopped appearing before him. Hayden remarked, “The Eldest Young Mistress also acted as your love advisor!”

Kevin replied, “What’s so unusual about that? We have a strong brotherly bond. My sister-in-law is part of the York family now, and naturally, she wishes for my happiness, just like my brothers do. You know the young lady from the Johnson family in Annenburg; my sister-in-law shares a good personal relationship with her. Perhaps her influence has something to do with it, and she enjoys gossip just like we do.”

Hayden responded, “The old Mrs. York was right: everyone has a penchant for gossip. I know the young lady from the Jun family, but I haven’t met her in person. I have, however, met your sister-in-law, and she is very easy to be around; just looking at her makes me feel comfortable.”

Kevin smiled, “My grandmother has a good eye for people. She plays a key role in the significant life events of our family. When she chooses a partner for us, we trust that it will be a suitable match. Grandma often scolds us for not knowing how to appreciate good women, and we ask her to find us the right one. Clearly, she’s eager to hold her great-granddaughter and is urging us to marry, actively helping us find potential partners everywhere.”
