Chapter 1191
"Jenny Hanover?" Master Collins considered it for a moment, then nodded in satisfaction, "That'll be her name then."
"What?" Beanie tilted his head and looked at the three adults discussing the names. He kept feeling that something was peculiar.
He used to be called Bruno Hanover. He got his last name from his mother because he only had a mom and his daddy was not by his side. That was why his last name was Hanover.
But now, why did it seem as if Great-grandpa, Mommy, and Daddy had already acknowledged the last name, Hanover?
Why was that?
He didn't know whether they had forgotten or if they had already discussed it before. Should he remind them?
Beanie held his chin with his hand and thought deeply. If Hanover was his last name, it meant that his Mommy was on the advantageous side. Beanie would definitely be on his mother's side; it was best for him to bear the last name Hanover.
"Beanie, what do you think of your baby sister's name?" When he was deep in thought, Master Collins suddenly looked at Beanie. He thought about it for a long time when he went back. Because Beanie's name was Bruno Hanover, that was why Master Collins decided to give Jelly Bean the name Jesse. At first, he wanted to name her Jelly Hanover directly, but it seemed too weird, so he changed it to Jesse.
Beanie blinked gently as he met Master Collins's gaze.
"It's nice, but..."
He glanced at Master Collins, then at Maddox and Minerva, "Is her last name really going to be Hanover?"
He should bring it up so that his great-grandfather wouldn't rebuke Mommy for taking advantage of Daddy when he realised it after.
After Beanie's questioning, Master Collins immediately stood rooted to the ground. It took him quite a while to finally react.
"Oh right. How could I forget such an important thing? You and Jelly Bean are both Sebastian's children. The last name should be Yardley."
As he said it, Master Collins's face flushed red. He'd never imagined that he'd actually forget such an important matter and allowed both his greatgrandchildren to bear others' last names.
"Great-grandpa, your last name is not Yardley anyway, so it doesn't matter whatever our last names are," Beanie said at that moment.
After hearing Beanie's words, Master Collins came to his senses again.
The reason he didn't care much about the last name was probably that it wasn't his own last name as well, and it was also because he was the father to Maddox's mother, which was why he didn't feel weird giving Jelly Bean the name Jenny Hanover.
Minerva felt a little awkward after Beanie's reminder. She hadn't thought about that before, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Now that she realized it, she quickly looked at Maddox.
It was a traditional rule for children to bear the father's last name, so she didn't know what Maddox's thoughts were. He had just acquiesced the name, Jenny Hanover. Would he think that she was an unreasonable and selfish person?This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
But she didn't expect that when she looked at him, she happened to meet Maddox's deep eyes, which were filled with gentleness and warmth. "What's wrong?"
"The last name..." Minerva didn't know how to put it.
"Doesn't matter what the last name is." Maddox sat down by her side. There was a faint smile on his lips, "Hanover sounds nice. Besides, you're the one who gave birth to both children."
When Master Collins heard that, he was a bit anxious. But he then thought that the two kids wouldn't have the last name Collins anyways. What did their last names have to do with him then? After thinking about it, he had some other ideas in his mind.
Minerva did not care what the two children's last names were either. No matter if they were Hanover or Yardley, they were still Maddox and her children.
Just as she was about to speak, Master Collins cleared his throat and drew their attention. Perhaps because he felt that what he was going to say next was simply too shameless, his face showed embarrassment. After hesitating for a long while, he finally spoke, "Since both of you don't care about the child's last name, why don't... you give them the last name Collins?"
Minerva didn't reply.
And so did Maddox.
Beanie, on the other hand, was rendered speechless.
"Great-grandpa, you really know how to find a loophole."
Master Collins felt even more embarrassed after hearing Beanie's words. But since he had already said it, there was no reason for him to take it back. He might as well continue with his suggestion.
At that thought, Master Collins
continued to be brazen, "Both of you don't care about the last name either way. Other than Maddox, there isn't a single good person in the Yardley family. It's better not to bring the last name Yardley down to the future generations. It'll be better to have the last name, Collins."
Beanie snorted and directly rejected Jarold's proposal.
"No way. Collins is not a nice last name. I don't like it as my last name."
Master Collins didn't know what to say at once.
That brat, how could he?
Maddox, who was at the side, was rather moved by the idea. It was true that none of them from the Yardley family were decent. His grandfather, and his father, none were decent people.
If possible, he would also want to change his last name.
It was a pity that his mother did not change his last name for him after the divorce; it meant that his mother still had some love left for his father in her heart.
If that was the case, it was impossible for him to get away from the last name "Yardley". Instead of doing so, it was better to...
Maddox glanced at Minerva.
With just a glance, Minerva felt as if she could read Maddox's mind.
However, she felt a little fearful because she did not expect Maddox to agree to it. How could he care so little about reputation?
At that time, Maddox said, "It's not like it's impossible to bear the last name Collins, but not for the both of them. One should get the last name Hanover, and the other will be Collins."
Master Collins was shocked by Maddox's words. He hadn't expected Maddox to agree to it. It seemed that Maddox himself didn't like the last name Yardley as well.
"Then... Whose last name will be Collins?" Master Collins was excited about it. If he had a tail, his tail would have been wagging all around since long ago.
Maddox gave Beanie a slight glance.
"Let them pick it out on their own."
Master Collins looked at Beanie, then at Jelly Bean. He asked cautiously, "Jelly Bean is just a newborn. Would she know how to pick? How does that count?"
Minerva knew Master Collins's
situation. He only had two
daughters. His eldest daughter had
(el
already passed away, and Abigail seemed like she wasn't interested in getting married. If she stayed unmarried for the rest of her life, the Collins family might really have no descendants in the future.
In addition, before that, it seemed that Master Collins had left most of his heritage to Beanie. It was best to let Beanie bear his last name.
Thinking of that, Minerva said, "Why don't we let Beanie bear the last name Collins then?"
Master Collins held his breath, "Is this... Is this appropriate..."
In fact, Jarold didn't even dare think
about it. What he wanted was for Jelly Bean to have the last name,
Collins. He was happy enough to et
have a

a cute and lovely great-granddaughter. He had never fathomed that Minerva would be so selfless...
