Chapter 3572
“I was just playing some games. I haven’t had time for that in a while,” Hugh explained, noticing Hayden’s frown.
“Sister, I really haven’t played in ages. I’ve been so busy with work. It’s rare for me to get off early, so I wanted to unwind a bit. If I hadn’t played games, I might have gone out drinking with friends, and you would have scolded me again.”
In the past, Hugh had always feared Hayden, even more than their parents. Even now, he respected and feared her, especially since she had maintained her strict demeanor even after he learned that she was his sister, not his brother. He often marveled at how, despite being twins, Hayden had achieved so much more than he had.
“I haven’t scolded you in ages,” Hayden said with a smile. “But you have too much free time. Why don’t you start dating? We’re the same age, I’m getting married soon, yet you’re still single.”

Hugh sighed. “Sister, here we go again. You’re more concerned about my love life than our parents are. But it’s all about timing. You and Kevin were meant to be, and I’m still waiting for my match.”
“Don’t you have some good female friends? Why not consider dating one of them?”
“I’m too used to being friends with them. I can’t picture anything more,” Hugh replied.
Hayden was left speechless. Hugh simply hadn’t fallen in love yet. Once he did, she knew he would take it seriously.
“Fine, I’ll let you work it out. But don’t stay up too late playing games. Get some rest,” Hayden said before heading to her room.
After she left, Hugh went to the kitchen to prepare a midnight snack, even knocking on Hayden’s door to offer her some.
But she declined.
Hugh knew that Hayden wouldn’t eat; she was meticulous about her diet, particularly in order to maintain her figure. As for himself, Hugh didn’t concern himself much with gaining weight or losing attractiveness—he thought it might actually help discourage some of the women who were now eyeing him since Hayden was off the market.
Hugh took his snack to the dining area, snapped a few photos, and posted them on his social media, relishing the late-night attention. Unlike Hayden, who rarely shared anything online, Hugh enjoyed showcasing his daily life.
While eating, he scrolled through his friends’ posts, responding to messages, especially from his female friends. He pondered if any of them could be “the one” his sister had been encouraging him to find.
But for now, he was simply content to enjoy the moment.
