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.
