-Pepi Nelson? -the old man thought for a moment, and nodded with satisfaction, -So, this name is decided.
-Right? -Jack tilted his head, looking at the three adults discussing names. He sensed something was wrong.
His name had been Jack Nelson. He had taken the last name Nelson like his mother because he only had her by his side and his dad wasn’t around at all.
“But now great-grandfather and parents seem to have accepted this last name Nelson?”
“What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know if they’ve forgotten, or if they’ve come to an agreement. Should I remind them?” she thought.
Jack held his chin in his hands and thought deeply. With the last name Nelson, then he had taken advantage of his mother. For Jack, he was next to his mom, and this last name would naturally be the best.
-Jack, what do you think of his sister’s name? -As he was thinking, Jorge suddenly looked at Jack. He had come back to think hard because his son’s name was Jack Nelson. So he gave the child the name Pepi. At first, the old man wanted to call her Pepita directly, but it seemed a little strange, so he changed it to Pepi.
Jack blinked softly meeting Jorge’s eyes.
-Very well, but…
He glanced at Jorge, then at Kennedy and Alice, -Are you really going to give my younger sister the last name Nelson?
Forget it. I’d have to remind her so they wouldn’t say their mother had taken advantage of their father when great-grandfather reacted.
As Jack asked the question, Jorge was stunned for a while. It took him a few minutes before he came to his senses.
-Why did I forget something so important? You and Pepita are both Kennedy children, so your surnames must be Moore.
Then the old face flushed. He had not expected to have forgotten such an important matter and to have thrown his two great-grandchildren into the family.
-“Great-grandfather, you don’t have the last name Moore anyway, so it doesn’t matter what the last name is,” Jack said again at the right moment.
When he told him, George reacted again.
The reason he didn’t value his last name was probably because his last name wasn’t Moore. He was a maternal great-grandfather, so he felt Pepi Nelson was already so easy to call him.
Alice, who was standing off to the side, felt a little embarrassed after being reminded of it by Jack. She hadn’t considered that issue before, so she didn’t pay attention to it at all. Now that she reacted, she looked quickly toward Kennedy.
It is the default the rule that the child is born with the man’s last name. Therefore, she did not know what Kennedy was thinking. He simply agreed with the name Pepi already. Would he think she was that kind of irrational and selfish person?
Little did she know that she met Kennedy’s deep-set eyes, which were full of warmth, after she looked at him again.
-What’s the matter?
-The last name… -Alice said with some difficulty.
-It doesn’t matter,” Kennedy sat down beside her, a faint smile on his cold lips. He’s fine with the Nelson name. After all, thanks to you for the birth of the two children.
Jorge was a little anxious on the sidelines when he heard that, but after thinking about it, neither child would have the last name Carlos. After thinking about it, Jorge had other ideas in mind.
Alice didn’t care about the last names of the two children. They were fine with either Nelson or Moore. After all, they were the couple’s last names.
As she was about to speak, George coughed slightly and caught the attention of the other three. He probably felt that what he was about to say would be too brazen and his old face was embarrassing. Hesitating for a while, he said, -Since you two don’t care about the girl’s last name, why don’t you… just go by Carlos?
Alice fell silent.
Kennedy didn’t know what to say.
Neither did Jack.
Great-grandfather, you’re able to make the most of it.
George suddenly felt more embarrassed when he told her, but the words had already been said. Was there any reason to take it back? He might as well continue to the end.
Thinking about it, Jorge went on to say cheekily, -Anyway, I don’t think the two of them care about the last name. The Moore family has no good person except Kennedy. The last name Moore is not appropriate. It would be better with my last name Carlos, wouldn’t it?
Jack snorted softly and rejected Jorge’s proposal.
-No. It’s a compound name. It will spell one more word with this one.
Jorge was surprised.
That brat. Was it a matter of spelling one word more or one word less?
Kennedy, who was next door, was very moved. There was no one good in the Moore family. Jorge was right. His grandfather and father were not good people.
If it were possible, he himself would like to drop the Moore name.
It was a pity that his mother had not changed his last name after the divorce, which indicated that his mother still had a trace of love for his father in her heart.
Thinking that way, it would be impossible for him to drop the last name alone. Instead of doing that, he could ….
Kennedy gave Alice a glance.
With just one, Alice looked as if she knew what Kennedy was thinking.
But she marveled slightly, because she hadn’t expected Kennedy to agree. He didn’t care about fame like that?
At that point, Kennedy said, -It’s not wrong to have the last name Carlos, but you can’t both use it. One, Nelson and the other, Carlos.
Jorge was a little taken aback when he heard that, that he didn’t think Kennedy really agreed. He didn’t seem to like the Moore surname either.
-So, whose last name is Carlos? -the old man was a little excited. If the human had a tail, the one behind him would make the earth shake.
Kennedy looked at Jack lightly.
-Let them choose for themselves.
So George looked at Jack, then at Pepita. He asked them carefully, -The newborn girl doesn’t know how to choose. How is it done?
Alice knew Jorge had only two daughters. The older daughter was already gone. Raquel seemed desperate for love. If she didn’t marry all her life, the Carlos family might end in the future.
Besides, Jorge seemed to have left most things to Jack. It would be better if Jack used his last name.
Thinking about it, Alice said, -Shall I let Jack use your last name Carlos?
Jorge stifled his breath, -This, is it okay…?
In fact, he didn’t dare consider it. What he thought was that the child would use his last name Carlos. He would be pleased to have a cute, well-behaved great-granddaughter. Alice was not known to be so generous…..
