Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

The father would usually have to consent if his child were to take after the mother's last name. In most cases, the father might not agree.

However, Sebastian Brenand brought this up when the thought didn't even cross Rachel Wood's mind, so she was surprised but understood his reasons behind the suggestion.

She knew it was because he was thoroughly disappointed by his parents and no longer wanted to extend his family's bloodline.

"The Brenand family doesn't deserve a child with its surname or someone as kind as you," Sebastian said. "That's why you must listen to me on this matter."

"Have you thought it through? There's no going back if your parents find out about this," Rachel replied with uncertainty.

"Hah! I never thought about going back," he sneered. "Besides, it's my decision to make. What's wrong with that?"

She refrained from arguing further after seeing how determined he seemed.

"What do you think we should name our child? How about Mandy, if it's a girl? It sounds lovely," he said. "And if it's a boy, we'll name him Moses. It has a more dignified quality to it." Sebastian had a look of adoration in his eyes when he spoke.
