Female Novel
Chapter 2790
“Don’t worry. I’m an experienced driver. Get ready. We can go to the banquet once I arrive.”
Hayden said, “I’ll wait for you at home then.”
“Okay. See you later.”
Since Hayden said he could find out why she rested for half a day when he arrived, Kevin did not ask
further.
He had to head to Queen Manor first.
After ending the call, Hayden was about to put the phone down when she saw her mother sitting
opposite her. She withdrew her hand and pretended to message Kevin.
“Stop acting.”
Sophia stood up and took Hayden’s phone away. She placed it on the coffee table.
“I can’t leave my phone, Mom. There’ll be people looking for me to talk about work.”
Hayden wanted to use the phone as an excuse.
Sophia replied, “Didn’t you hand over everything to Hugh? Let him handle it. He doesn’t have to attend
the banquet tonight anyway.
“He’s not much younger than you, just by ten minutes. He’s a man, and he should bear the heavier
responsibility.”
Hayden smiled. “That’s such old-fashioned thinking, Mom.”
“It may be old-fashioned to others, but in our family, it means that you can take it easier while Hugh
works harder.”
Sophia sat beside her daughter.
Hayden did not want to enter a debate with her mother. She said, “Okay, okay. My mom is the prettiest.
Everything you say is right.”
Sophia glared at her.
“What is it again, Mom? You’ve been glaring at me much more than you did altogether for the past
twenty years.”
“Your posture!”
Sophia swatted Hayden’s thigh. “Sit like a lady. Don’t be like a man. You’re a young lady of a prominent
family now and not the young master of the Queens or Queen Enterprise’s CEO.
“Also, don’t take off your high heels once you’re seated. Have you seen any other lady doing that?”
Hayden said, “I never had to take off my dress shoes when I sat. Mom, these heels are difficult to walk
in. My feet hurt from walking in them for so long. If I don’t take them off and let my feet rest, I don’t think
I can even walk tonight.
“Can I just wear dress shoes?”
She truly did not like wearing high heels.
Sophia scolded her, “Have you ever seen any young lady wearing dress shoes to a banquet? You can
do that while wearing a suit, but you said you wanted to wear a dress. The dress is already bought.
How can you not wear heels to go with it?”
Hayden’s face fell. “I guess I should continue being Mr. Queen then. Being Ms. Queen is difficult.
Wearing a dress is inconvenient too. I can’t even walk quickly in it because it restrains my steps.”
Sophia was rendered speechless.
She had the urge to slap her daughter but held it in.
However, if it were Hugh, she would have slapped him right away.
“I can wear women’s clothes when I’m alone with Kevin in the future. He won’t request me to wear highnovelbin
heels. He would tell me to wear whatever makes me comfortable because he can tolerate everything
about me.
“He also mentioned that we don’t have to care about creating more gossip because we’re already the
hot topic of the city.”
Sophia had no words.
