"I haven't. Did you have anything in mind?" Elliot asked.
Avery's heart tightened in her chest, and she hesitantly said, "Rowan Tate."
Elliot put down the menu. His hawk-like eyes bore into her as he said, "Are you serious?"
"Both Hayden and Layla have my last name. The child would be confused if he had a different last name." Avery's cheeks flushed as she shared her thoughts. "Of course, I would respect your opinion."
"If you're worried that the baby would be confused, then you could just change Hayden and Layla's last name. I don't mind them taking my last name."
Elliot's response was so casual that it almost felt like he was joking.
He ordered his food, then handed the menu to the waiter.
The waiter confirmed their order, then walked away.
"Since you don't agree, then let's just name him Rowan Foster!" Avery compromised.
She was already happy enough that she got custody of the baby.
"I didn't say I disagree." Elliot raised his brows and looked at her with fascination." Let the baby take your last name if you want to!"
"Are you serious, or are you teasing me?" Avery could not tell what he was really thinking.
She would be fine if he was being sullen and savage.
She was used to seeing him angry.
Instead, Elliot was half smiling and his eyes were cold. His expression was enigmatic and hard to put one's finger on.
It was slightly terrifying.
"I don’t like my last name." Elliot pondered for a moment, then said, "I don’t have a choice, though."
Avery did not expect him to say that.
She had known him long enough to assume that she knew him well, but he felt like a stranger at that moment.
