Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

Dolores felt that she had to tell them clearly about the matter of their family names being changed.

She had pondered for a while in her heart about how to tell them.

Then, she spoke softly to her children, “Our country had been in this world for five thousand years. It can be considered as a place with a long history and there was a tradition in our country since ancient times that the children will get the same surname as their father. I haven’t told you about the fact that your father and I have changed your surname.”

Simona raised her head and looked at her. She was chewing the food in her mouth slowly. After swallowing the food, she said, “Is this the thing that you want to tell us?”

Dolores nodded. She seemed that he looked like he had known it so she tried to ask him, “You knew it?”

It seemed that nobody knew about it, right?

How did he know about it?

Simona used a pair of chopsticks to take some more steamed cake and then put it into her mouth to chew it, “I don’t know about it but I know that our surname will be changed one day. Before you told us about it, I have found out that all other people around us use the same surname as their father. However, my sister and I are special in this. However, we have become the same as other people now and no one would think that daddy was married into mum’s family.”

Dolores was speechless.

How did he know so much about it? He even knew about a man being married into a woman’s family?

Simona was busy eating and didn’t have time to join the conversation. When she heard her brother’s words, she blinked curiously and asked, “What does ‘a man being married into a woman’s family’ mean?”

Simona almost did not think about it and answered seriously, “The normal situation for it is that a woman marries a man. For example, mummy had to marry daddy and this was considered a normal situation. For matrilocal residence, it means that a man marries a woman. For example, mummy married to daddy and then daddy will be the matrilocal residence who married into and lived with the bride’s family.”

Simona was still in a puzzle. What did it mean? Who married who? She shook her head and did not want to bother about the complicated fact. She just asked, “Does it mean that our surname is not Flores now anymore?”

“That’s right.” Samuel lifted his chin to indicate to her to ask Dolores about it, “You can ask mummy.”
