“You agreed?!”
When Merlin heard his son-in-law’s reply, his whole body felt both surprised, and he was vaguely leaping out of joy.
Although he had said that Lord Acker was old-fashioned, he had actually also been convinced by Lord Acker long ago.
He knew that this kind of old-fashioned thinking should be criticized to a certain extent, but he also agreed with Lord Acker’s logic, which was that the family’s last name should be passed on.
Regardless of whether it was male or female, as long as there was an offspring with the last name, the lineage would continue to be passed on.
However, once there was a break in the middle, this lineage would exit the stage of history completely within a few decades.
Therefore, if his son-in-law agreed to let his daughter’s children take the last name, Lammy, the family name would be able to continue to be passed down the line.
Merlin was very excited to hear that his son-in-law had agreed because of this.
However, he did not expect that his son-in-law, who had always regarded himself as a high achiever, would be so easily persuaded by Christian.
His son-in-law also seemed a little ashamed at this time.
He took the initiative to explain awkwardly, “Dad, it’s not that I’m no good... It’s simply because the offer made by the Acker family is too tempting... Even if I were to work hard for the rest of my life, I would not be able to leave so much money to my children and grandchildren...”
Merlin’s son-in-law was just desperate to give the reason for his surrender to money.
