My Dreamy Old Husband

Under the earnest anticipation of the crowd, Cooper finally walked up to the stage. He took the microphone while observing the expressions of the audience below him. I am Sophia’s father as well as the maternal grandfather of the unborn children. Naturally, I have the naming right of my grandchildren. As for the children’s father, Michael… Well, everybody has forgotten about him. After all, he does not possess any nuclear weapons.

Cooper announced his decision, “I want to thank everybody for traveling so far to attend the weddings of both myself and my daughter. As for the changing of family names, which everyone seemed to be invested in, I have already made up my mind.”

The atmosphere suddenly felt tense as everybody automatically held their breath in anticipation. Cooper’s decision might cause a huge chaos!

Under the crowd’s undivided attention, he finally announced, “I will be getting married with my wife, Anna Yard. Since she will remain as the person in charge of the Yard Group, she will not change her last name. My daughter, Miss Sophia Edwards as well as my son-in-law, Mr. Michael Fletcher and my granddaughter, Carmen Fletcher, will not change theirs as well.”

There was an uproar among the crowd. You are going against the Michel Family head-on!

The Michels were in disbelief, as though they were being challenged for the first time.

Cooper continued to speak, “I’ve carefully thought about this. The Edwards raised my daughter and they gave her a chance at life. I respect her decision for not changing her last name. Even if my son-in-law, Mr. Michael Fletcher, were to marry into the family as a live-in son-in-law, according to the rules in Cethos, there is no rule that dictates the change of his last name. As for my granddaughter, Carmen Fletcher—her father, Michael Fletcher, has raised her since birth. Therefore, she will not change her family name temporarily. She is free to change it if she wishes to once she’s 18 years old. On the other hand, in regards to the last name of my unborn grandchildren—I fully respect my daughter and my son-in-law’s decision. One of them would be a Yard whereas the other would be a Mitchell. If I can’t fulfill the rules and feelings invested in this matter and you demand that I choose between withdrawing from the Michel Family or forcing my children to change their last names, I will choose to give up the status as a Michel.”

With that, he left the stage after making the shocking announcement.

The crowd erupted into chaos while the Michel family members swiftly stood up to surround him. We’ve come all the way here, but we’ve not achieved anything! How dare Cooper try to cut ties with our family!

“Fass! What is the meaning of this? Is this how you’re playing it?” The Michel Family came forward with a ferocious intensity. They surrounded Cooper and his family, which caused Carmen to burst in tears out of fear.

My daughter and her unborn sons will have their freedom to choose. As for my wife, Anna Yard—there is no tradition of changing family names. My granddaughter will not change her last name too.

difference is that he is more considerate now. Once upon a time ago, he was still young and immature when we eloped, so he did not plan meticulously.
