Most men would have a strong stance about whose surname their children took after.
For thousands of years, an unwritten rule had been set in stone between men and women that children born should take after their father’s surname.
Since time immemorial, most people indeed practiced this.
This was especially the case for high-status and influential families like the Batton family.
At the end of the day, men and their side of the family all cared a lot about children taking after the surname of the paternal side.
However, Xyla didn’t think that Stanley and his family wouldn’t care about it at all. This really touched her.
“What’s the matter?” Stanley asked curiously when he saw that Xyla was stunned.
“Why would you think like this?” Xyla asked.
“Like what?” Stanley asked.
“Don’t men usually care a lot about whose surname their children take after? Most men wouldn’t agree to let their children take after their mother’s surname,” Xyla said.
However, Stanley chuckled nonchalantly. “I don’t care. You’re the one who gives birth to the children. Naturally, the children should take after your surname,” he said.
Xyla hadn’t thought about this before too.
Xyla shook her head. “This won’t be necessary…”
She didn’t care about this issue.
Stanley smiled. “It’s still too early to talk about this now. Let’s discuss this in the future. Go up and take a shower… I’ll come to you after the meeting, alright?”
“Okay…” Xyla answered softly.
While speaking, her stomach suddenly started rumbling.
Xyla immediately felt embarrassed.
