“Daddy, I think I’ll keep using Lane as my last name.”
“Your mommy isn’t Zane Lane’s daughter. Who knows if she might change her last name to Musgrave one day? Why should you use Lane as your surname?”
Juan gave it some thought for a while before he looked up at Evan and answered, “Well, Juan Musgrave sounds better than Juan Seet.”
Evan gave Juan a cold-eyed stare, and the former’s lips twitched.
“In that case, leave and look for your grandpa, Stephen Musgrave. The Seet family can’t take you in anymore.”
Juan was evidently dissatisfied with that answer. How can you abandon me just because I don’t use Seet as my last name? Daddy, you are too overbearing!
Fiddling with her chubby fingers, Maya blinked her crystal clear eyes repeatedly, pondering about which last names she had to choose.
Maya Seet or Maya Musgrave… Well, both sound nice to me.
After making up her mind, she yelled, “Daddy, my surname is Seet. I’m Maya Seet…” As she spoke, she ran toward the living room to catch up with her father.
Juan pursed his lips and looked at Kyle, who was giving him a cold-eyed stare. He couldn’t help but ask, “Does Juan Seet sound nice?”
Kyle answered affirmatively, “Better than Juan Musgrave!”
“Hmm…” Kyle, you’ll definitely say so because Daddy raised you!
As soon as Evan walked into the living room, Sylphiette sat up from the couch.
She looked at him nervously and said, “Evan, I thought you weren’t coming home tonight, and so I haven’t put on any makeup. Please don’t look at me.”
Well, she doesn’t put on makeup because she is applying a face mask. Besides, she is wearing a house dress.
I mean, it’s not something shady at all. Why is she afraid that I will look at her?
Juan darted his eyes about and complained, “Mommy, Daddy wants me to change my last name!”
“Which last name does Daddy ask you to change?”
“He wants me to change my last name to Seet.”
After telling her, Juan glanced at Evan fearfully.
Deep in his heart, Juan believed that his mother would lecture him about how difficult it was for a vulnerable woman like her to raise her children all these years.
As such, she wouldn’t simply agree to let her children change their last names to Seet.
Much to his surprise, his mother didn’t seem to be bothered by it. Instead, she flashed him a smile and replied casually, “In that case, change your last name. After all, your last name is supposed to be Seet! Am I right, Evan?”
Juan looked at her in shock and was rendered speechless.
Since when did Mommy become so gentle and someone who could be bullied easily?
She seems to have become a loyal pug that flatters Daddy like her master.
Meanwhile, Evan was equally surprised by her response.
Considering Nicole’s personality, she would never easily agree to let her children change their last names. At the very least, the woman would argue with him before deciding it.
However, this time around, she didn’t take a stance about this issue; she had agreed to it without hesitation.
When Evan stared at her with a glint in his eyes, Sylphiette couldn’t help but feel nervous. She thought he was displeased because she looked a little disheveled now.
So, Sylphiette hastily said, “Evan, I’ll go change.” The next moment, she rushed back to her bedroom.
Evan’s expression turned grim when he looked at “Nicole”, who seemed rather nervous.
Isn’t such clothing what she usually wears at home? Since when did she become so mindful of the particulars before me?
Meanwhile, Juan shifted his gaze toward the imported snacks on the couch. He heaved a sigh and said, “Daddy, Mommy seems different now. In the past, she used to be busy taking care of us and cleaning the house. Now, she only prefers resting on the couch with snacks in her hands and putting on face masks. She even starts watching some silly dramas that we don’t like. I seriously think God has changed my Mommy.”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Evan shot Juan a withering look, and the boy shut up immediately.
Evan wasn’t offended by what Juan said because kids would say the darndest things.
Why would Mommy change all of a sudden?
On the other hand, Sylphiette opened Nicole’s wardrobe and chose a slightly sexy dress. After putting on some makeup, she finally left the bedroom.
Evan wasn’t used to such a sight of “Nicole” dressed up nicely with delicate makeup.
After giving it a thought, he felt that it wasn’t a big deal as long as she was happy.
“Evan, you must be tired after going on a business trip for several days. The company should thank you for your hard work.”
Evan’s gaze darkened as he glanced at “Nicole”, who was being unusually polite toward him. He asked, “Is your hand alright now?”
“I’m fine now. The medication is really effective, so my hand doesn’t hurt anymore.”
“That’s great. By the way, I have hired a makeup artist for Nina. Let Nina meet her later.”
