Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 573

It didn’t matter if Reese had the best temper; his expression changed when Sean refused to change his last name.

“But you’re my son. Shouldn’t you have my last name?” He couldn’t easily accept the fact that his son carried a different last name. He would have been fine if Sean had simply lied and promised to change it later.

Sean remained firm, albeit with a tinge of guilt. “The Waldorfs raised me and have done so much for me. I can’t change my last name.”

Pearl empathized with Sean’s sentiment because she wouldn’t want to go back to the Jordans for the same reason. She sighed and tried to console Reese. “It’s okay, Godfather. Sean’s mindset shows he’s a good son who values those who have supported him.”

Reese’s expression changed once more, and he sighed again. “Alright, if you insist, I won’t dwell on this.” He still had another son, Drew, who could carry on the family name. “But you must officially return to our family. I’ll organize a párty in Enswood to announce that you’re my son.”
