After the owner clearly saw the situation, he was also taken aback.

However, they quickly composed themselves and approached Hayden to greet him without changing their expressions.

Kevin and Hayden were already in a relationship. Even though they were a homosexual couple, neither family had objections, and there were no barriers. What could outsiders possibly misunderstand?

This was a matter of personal freedom.

Whether Hayden chose to dress as a woman or Kevin as well, that was their choice.

“Mr. York, Mr. Queen.”

The owner’s last name was Talbot. Despite being over eighty years old, he was still in good health and active in the business community of Jensburg.

He enjoyed a solid reputation in Jensburg’s business circles; otherwise, Hayden wouldn’t have attended the Talbot family’s banquet.

“Mr. Talbot.”

Both greeted Mr. Talbot with respect.

Mr. Talbot smiled and said, “Mr. Queen, Mr. York, please come in.”

He welcomed them into the room but did not comment on Hayden’s attire.

The other members of the Talbot family did not share Mr. Talbot’s composure and occasionally stole glances at Hayden.

They thought Hayden appeared even more charming in women’s clothing than in men’s. His handsomeness, while somewhat feminine, was usually balanced by his cold and serious demeanor, which softened his alluring appearance.

When Hayden donned women’s attire and assumed a feminine role, it created an illusion that this was his true self, suggesting he was meant to be a woman.

Even while disguised, he retained an air of cold enchantment.

Kevin held one of Hayden’s hands, and they intertwined their fingers as they walked toward the stunning main house under the Talbot family’s leadership.

Everyone in the yard turned to watch them.

As the group entered the main room, the guests regained their composure.

“Is that really Mr. Queen? Am I seeing things?” exclaimed a wealthy lady, rubbing her eyes. “Mr. Queen looks even more beautiful dressed as a woman. He certainly isn’t making it easy for us to compete with him. Even if he were a man, we still couldn’t hope to win.”

“Mr. Queen is so devoted to Mr. York that he’s willing to dress as a woman to support him, and they look so alike! Speaking of which, Mr. Queen looks stunning in that evening gown—it seems tailor-made for him.”

“Mr. Queen, dressed as a woman, walking alongside Mr. York truly embodies a talented man and a beautiful woman. They are a perfect match.”

“It’s enough for two grown men to be in love, but Mr. Queen actually pretends to be a woman! Ah, my idol! Mr. York has completely overshadowed my male god! I can’t stand it. I’m ready to fight Mr. York to the end!”

The wealthy ladies who once admired Hayden were at a loss for words.

Indeed, Kevin had eclipsed their idol.

The former Mr. Queen had been incredibly handsome, with a cool, aloof demeanor.

But seeing his assistant dressed as a woman, despite the elegance and charm, only stirred envy among the rich ladies who had once admired Hayden.

“Mr. Queen, could it be that you were originally a woman?” a lady suddenly inquired.

Her question…

were astonishing, capturing everyone’s attention. The lady was taken aback and quickly replied, “I simply made a guess, just a random one. Mr. Queen, you’re dressed as a woman, and there’s no inconsistency in that. I’m the only one who would think to guess that.”
