Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 718

“How could that be?” Edmund gently patted Cameron’s head. “Come, my son. Tell her if I’ve ever picked on you.”

Cameron smiled meekly. “Of course not. Daddy is usually nice to me.”

“Hear that? Look at how polite my son is.”

Elspeth muttered under her breath, “Always talking about your son… So what if you have a son? It’s not like it’s anything impressive.”

Damian, who had been burying his nose in his food, whipped his head upward at her words. “Mom, what do you mean?”

Elspeth immediately fell silent.

Edmund rubbed his chin. “By the way, when are you going to change your son’s surname?”

It was only then that Elspeth realized that Damian was still using her last name.

Unexpectedly, Callum only took a sip of tea calmly. “Why should we change it? I think it’s quite nice.”

Instantly, Edmund was taken aback by his words. “Callum, this is your son we’re talking about. Don’t you want him to take your last name?”

“He’s also Elspeth’s son.”

Hearing that, Elspeth felt her heart skip a beat.

“Besides, it’s not like we can’t have another one. Our next kid can just take my last name.”

Hearing that, Elspeth sent him an exasperated punch. “Who said I want to have another baby with you?”

Callum wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her into his arms. “Who else are you going to have a baby with except for me?”

Elspeth’s face flushed red upon being embraced by him in front of everyone else.

“There are still people around. Besides, there are two kids here. Hurry up and let me down,” she whispered.

“All right, all right, stop flirting in front of me. Are you picking on me because I’m single?” Edmund pouted, his face filled with disdain.

Unfazed, Callum raised his eyebrow and refuted, “Haven’t you thought of finding a mother for your son after all these years?”

Edmund crossed his legs and said carelessly, “Why should I find a mother for my son? I think that I can raise him on my own, and I can do a good job at it too. Besides, I’m not interested in things like relationships anymore. I think that being on my own isn’t bad at all.”

“Haven’t you asked Cam’s opinion? What if he wants to have a mother?”

Elspeth’s concerns were not unfounded. Although single-parent families were common, their children would easily be subject to bullies in school, just like Damian had been in the past. Most people would use their families to mock and tease them, and it would easily hurt the child emotionally.
