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.”
