Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1374

Nathan left some things unsaid, but Remington knew exactly what he was thinking.

Remington raised an eyebrow and smirked. "The Dashiells have lost enough face as it is."

Given everything his mother had done, the Dashiell family's debts to Lizetta and her child could never be fully repaid.

It was a miracle that both mother and son had survived.

If Joy grew up and decided he never wanted to claim the Dashiell name, Remington wouldn't blame him as a father.

And Nathan certainly had no right to dictate anything.

Seeing Remington's unwavering resolve, Nathan knew his son wouldn't listen to a word he said.

He turned to Fiona. "Mom, aren't you going to say something? You're just going to let them do whatever they want?"

Fiona was admittedly taken aback; this hadn't been in her expectations.

Naturally, she wanted Remington and Lizetta to remarry immediately and bring Joy back to the Dashiell family.

Didn't Remington want the exact same thing?

He wanted it more than anyone.

But the decision to have Joy take the Madden name was likely due to Lizetta's hesitation to remarry right now.

Thinking back to the agonizing pain Lizetta had endured during their previous marriage and the disastrous wedding that never concluded, Fiona felt it was completely understandable. What woman wouldn't develop a fear of marriage after going through all that?

These were the consequences of Remington's own mistakes, and whatever he had to endure now was fully deserved.

As long as her great-grandson was safe and back with them, that was enough.

Fiona was pragmatic about it and snapped back at Nathan.

"What's wrong with the Madden name? Does it change the fact that he has our blood? Is he suddenly not your grandson? Enough of this. Taking his mother's name or his father's name makes no difference."
