Chapter 3617

Chapter 3617 – Hearing the voices of Lilian and Sariyah chatting in the distance, Audrey and Liberty turned to see them approaching, with Hayden in between them. It looked as though Hayden was being flanked by two beautiful young women, almost like a big man with an arm around each.

As they walked over, Liberty said to Audrey, “Aunt, even though I’ve known for a while that Hayden is a woman, every time I see her, I still think she looks more like a man.” The only difference was that she didn’t have an Adam’s apple.

Audrey smiled and said, “She’s been acting like a man since she was a child. She’s tall for a woman, has a cold demeanor, and it’s easy to mistake her for a man. She doesn’t like wearing women’s clothes either. Every time Kevin goes out with her, they probably get a lot of strange looks.”

People might think they were a same-sex couple.

As Kevin once joked, not only did people assume they were gay, but they also thought he was the submissive one.

Hayden is tough and cold, and as the CEO of Queen Enterprise, if she were a man, she wouldn’t be happy in a submissive role. She’d want to be in control and call the shots.

That’s just her nature.

Even though she’s a woman, if she marries Kevin, he’ll likely take a supporting role in their marriage, with Hayden leading the way.

Liberty mused, “If she were a man, women would be falling over themselves for her.” Audrey responded, “She’s a woman, and they still are. When people found out she was a woman, so many hearts were broken, and some admirers even cried in secret.” As Liberty and Audrey talked, the three women reached them.

“Mrs. Stone, Sister Liberty,” they greeted.

Liberty and Audrey smiled in return.

“The men are off discussing important matters, so we ladies decided to take a walk. Ms. Queen, would you join us?” Sariyah asked.

Lilian yawned, “If Sariyah hadn’t dragged me out, I’d have gone back to my room to rest. I didn’t sleep well.”

Audrey apologized, “Dr. Carden, I’m sorry if we didn’t take good care of you.”

Lilian had traveled from Wiltspoon to join them, so Audrey assumed that poor hospitality on their part had caused Lilian’s lack of rest.

“No, Mrs. Stone, it’s not your fault. It’s my little crybaby at home. Even when I’m away, I can’t escape his tears. His dad video-called me while holding him, and he cried, wanting me to hold him.

Even with his grandpa at home, he still cried.” Lilian was talking about her son, Fabian.

Liberty said, “That’s how kids are. They cry when they see their mothers, but they’re fine when they don’t. Some kids act spoiled around their parents but are well-behaved when their parents aren’t around.”

When parents are around, kids know they have a backup and can get away with being spoiled.

When the parents aren’t there, there’s no one to fuss over them.

Kids are smart—they understand a lot, even if they’re too young to express it in words.

Sariyah smiled and said, “Well, that’s on me. I’m not a mother yet, so I can’t fully understand.”

Lilian yawned again and added, “I didn’t expect Fabian to cry even with my master around. I guess I’m not a failure as a mother, at least my son misses me when I’m away.”

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Then Lilian pulled a candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, popped it in her mouth, and said, “It’s minty and a little spicy. Anyone want to try?” Everyone shook their heads.
