Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 178

"Even without considering the Blue family's fortune, he's still a billionaire in his own right. He's a big shot in the business world, no doubt about it. Since our mom lost her marbles, he's been all about making money. In just over twenty years, his wealth has grown multiple times. But,"

When it came to his love life, he's not exactly known for his loyalty and commitment.

If he wasn't his father, Ethan might think he's just a regular Joe. But he is his father, so Ethan thought he's pretty messed up.

Lucinda said if he's tired of his wife, then he should just get a divorce and then remarry.

But his dad didn't divorce, yet he's super tight with Madeleine. Now, everyone in Skywatch saw Madeleine as Nathan's second wife.

Whenever Nathan needed a plus one for social events, Madeleine was always his go-to.

They're always together, like a married couple. They just didn't bother with the paperwork.

"What's his name?"

Lucinda asked softly.

As lousy as he was, he's still her biological father. She can't just not know his name.

"Nathan."

Lucinda was surprised, "Your names are so alike?"

No wonder Janice always mixed up her son and husband.

"Yes."

Ethan said gloomily, "Actually, my name on the documents isn't this. My original name is Keith Blue. When I was a kid, mom often forgot my name. After she lost her mind, she only remembered you and dad's names. It hurt, so I insisted on changing my name."

"I wanted Mom to remember me, but I couldn't use your name, so I insisted on having the same name as Dad. Dad had no choice but to verbally change my name to Ethan, very similar to his. But it's never been changed on my documents."

"Dad said our names were given by Mom. We can't just change them."

"I was about four or five at the time. From then on, I changed my name to Ethan, similar to dad's, and I'd tell mom every day that her son's name is Ethan, her daughter's name is Lucinda. Mom got confused by this constant input, and she thought her son really was called Ethan."

Keith gave a bitter smile, "I got Mom to remember my name, but she only remembers my name, not me. Whenever she sees me, she just calls me dear, thinking I'm my dad."

Lucinda felt for him.

She grew up surrounded by love, while he grew up in adversity.

Even though his parents were around, his father was too busy with business, thinking making money was more important than taking care of his son. His mother was not in her right mind and couldn't even take care of herself, let alone her son.

He didn't get to experience the warmth of a normal family. In order for his mother to remember him, he insisted on changing his name to something similar to his father's, hoping that would help his mother remember him. But the result was that his mother remembered his name but not him.

"Our mom will get better, and I believe she will!"

Lucinda comforted him.
