Chapter 423: 423: Really Not Taking It to Heart
Adrian Zhekova was so amused by her that he couldn’t help but pull her into his arms and hug her tightly, giving her an especially intense kiss.
“Oh, there’s something I need to discuss with you.” When Adrian Zhekova let go of her, it took Cindy Clarke quite a while to calm down.
She recalled the matter from their previous visit to the Quire.
Then she pulled Adrian Zhekova to the couch to sit down.
“What’s up?” Seeing how serious Cindy Clarke was, Adrian Zhekova felt like it was about to discuss something very important.
Cindy Clarke said, “I want to change Morgan’s last name.”
“Huh?” Adrian Zhekova didn’t expect this proposal from Cindy Clarke.
“I mean, change it back to your last name,” said Cindy Clarke. “Due to various reasons before, he took my last name. Morgan’s relationship with you was still kept a secret from many people.”
“But now, since you two have acknowledged each other, not only does Morgan know, but the elder members of the Zhekova family and your friends are also aware. It’s not suitable for Morgan to still use my last name.”
“I was careless before and didn’t think of this,” Cindy Clarke said. “Tonight, at the restaurant, when you introduced Morgan to your friends, I realized it.”
“In the future, when you introduce Morgan as your son to others and mention his name, people will hear him using my last name instead of yours, which would be pretty awkward,” said Cindy Clarke. “Morgan should take the Zhekova name sooner or later; better change it as soon as possible.”
“I didn’t bring it up because I was afraid it would upset you,” said Adrian Zhekova. “We’re not married yet, and Morgan would already be taking my last name. I was worried that you might be concerned about him being snatched away.”
“If he really gets taken away, could I do anything about it?” Cindy Clarke laughed. “With my limited power, I’m no match for anyone.”
Knowing that she was joking, Adrian Zhekova didn’t say anything to comfort her further.
“Besides, you said that you’d never let me regret anything in this lifetime. So, I won’t regret any decision I make concerning you,” Cindy Clarke smiled. “Even if I let Morgan change his last name back to yours, I have nothing to worry about.”
“I might have had concerns before, but not anymore. No matter who reminds me to be cautious, I don’t care about it anymore,” Cindy Clarke said with a light smile at Adrian Zhekova.
Her eyes and smile were filled with trust in Adrian Zhekova.
“Because you are here, no matter when, you would never let me suffer such grievances,” Cindy Clarke whispered softly. “With that being the case, what do I have to worry about?”
Adrian Zhekova couldn’t help but smile, his heart warmed by Cindy Clarke’s words.
“You’re right,” Adrian Zhekova said in a low voice. “You’ll never have to worry about these things.”
“Taking time off during Valentine’s Day won’t work,” Cindy Clarke said.
This time, the holiday was a combined weekend and Monday, a total of three days.
“Shall we go handle this matter for Morgan on Tuesday?” Cindy Clarke asked.
“Alright,” Adrian Zhekova nodded.
“Oh, about Morgan’s name…” Cindy Clarke said a little bit ashamedly. “When I named Morgan, I didn’t put much thought into it. It’s fine for now since he’s still young, but when he grows up, we can’t keep calling him Morgan all the time.”
“And also, Morgan Zhekova sounds a bit childish,” said Cindy Clarke remorsefully.
If only she had chosen a better name for Morgan in the beginning.
Adrian Zhekova truly understood Cindy Clarke’s feelings at that time.
For a child who was not her choice and whom she stumbled upon.
When she discovered she was pregnant, she was only 19 years old.
