Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1349

As he spoke, he stood up and reached into his pocket to pull out a sheet of paper.

He had genuinely spent the entire night in his study, meticulously drafting a list of names for his grandson.

But before he could even unfold the paper, Remington looked directly at Fiona and interjected.

"Grandma, we've already asked Liz's grandfather to choose Joy's name. It should be finalized in the next day or two. I'll let you know as soon as it's decided."

Lizetta had assumed Remington had already informed Fiona that Nelson Madden would be the one picking the name.

She had no idea he hadn't even mentioned it.

Lizetta worried Fiona might be offended, but to her surprise, Fiona didn't look bothered in the slightest. She just nodded with a bright smile.

"Having Nelson choose the name is wonderful. He's a man of profound wisdom and culture. Whatever he picks will undoubtedly be elegant and perfect..."

Nathan's face, however, turned sour. He still pulled out the paper filled with his carefully selected names and insisted.

"Joy is the eldest grandson of the Dashiell family. His name should be chosen by his own flesh and blood..."

Before Nathan could finish his sentence, Fiona shot him a sharp glare.

"Enough. It's just a name. It doesn't matter who picks it, as long as it's chosen with love and good intentions."

Her eyes carried a clear warning: *Shut your mouth.*

It wasn't that her son lacked emotional intelligence; he just constantly demanded attention in places where he was clearly unwanted.

He had been placed on a pedestal his entire life, never facing any real rejection. Because he was so used to acting superior, he was completely blind to how insufferable he was, even at his age.

But Nathan believed a grandson's name was a critical matter that couldn't just be handed off to anyone.

In the Dashiell family's current generation, though their direct lineage didn't have any other grandchildren yet, the extended cousins already did.

Remington looked at Nathan coldly and laid out his intentions without a trace of hesitation.

"Liz and I currently have no plans to remarry. Therefore, Joy will stay with his mother and take the Madden family name."

Nathan was speechless.

He felt like he was going to cough up blood. This was his only grandson! The sole heir to his line! How could he possibly be registered as a Madden?

A family registry wasn't something you played games with! If he joined the Madden household, he would be taking the surname Madden! Did Remington think it was something he could just casually change back to Dashiell whenever he felt like it?

Nathan's face turned completely black. He roared,

"No! Absolutely not! You didn't marry into their family! The sole heir to the Dashiells, my precious grandson, cannot be a Madden!"

He, Nathan Dashiell, would never survive that kind of humiliation!
