To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1333

When night fell, Marigold was sitting on the sofa in the living room. She was normally already asleep at this hour, but today, she didn't feel the least bit drowsy. The words Jenny had said to her in the afternoon kept replaying in her head, and she began to reflect on herself. Perhaps she'd been wrong. Was her child destined to be inferior to others just because his parents didn't get married? Jenny had reminded her of an important point.

While being lost in her thoughts, she heard the sound of a car outside. Gilbert was home. Soon, the living room door was opened, and in came Gilbert. After turning on the lights, he spotted Marigold sitting on the sofa. Feeling puzzled, he asked, "It's late. Why are you still awake?"

"I have something to discuss with you." Marigold looked at him resolutely—she'd finally made a decision.

Gilbert didn't hurry to sit down and listen attentively. Instead, he leisurely put his bag aside, walked over, and grabbed a glass of water. Only then did he ask, "What is it?"

Marigold gestured for him to come and sit down. Gilbert walked over and took a seat across from her. Immediately, Marigold handed him a Social Security card. "The child's name has been decided, and the Social Security registration is done."

Gilbert didn't look at it. Instead, he responded with a perfunctory "okay" without much reaction. Marigold couldn't gauge what he was thinking. Nevertheless, she persisted and shoved the card before him. "Don't you want to take a look?"

She held the card right in front of him, so even if he was genuinely uninterested, he had no choice but to reach out and take it from her. When he saw the name "Caleb Hawthorn," his hand jolted a little involuntarily.

Hawthorn…Was the child really taking his surname?

"Why didn't you let him have your surname?" Gilbert handed the Social Security card back to Marigold. Although he appeared unaffected on the surface, his heart was actually beating rapidly.
