Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1117

Grandpa Duran continued, "Alex is the full name of my third son, but he also goes by Alexa."

"Alexa?" Cornelia questioned., “Grandpa Duran, why does a boy have a girl's name?"

Grandpa Duran laughed, "You see, us Durans always seem to have a shortage of girls. My brother's first litter were all boys. It wasn't until his sons were all grown up that his wife got pregnant again. When they found out she was pregnant again, everyone was hoping for a girl, but alas, another boy. That's why Emilio also goes by Emily."

Cornelia giggled, "Emily, that's a pretty name."

Emily pouted, "Uncle, you promised to have my great niece call me uncle, why are you still using my nickname?"

Grandpa Duran pinched Emily's face lightly, "She's the only girl in our family, how could we possibly keep it from her?"

The Duran clan was quite large, but girls were scarce. Grandpa Duran's parents had eight kids, seven of them boys, with only one girl. As for the children of Grandpa Duran's brothers, all except for the fourth son, who had a girl, had boys. Even amongst the grandchildren, things were even worse, as none of them had girls yet, all boys. The family always hoped one of them would have a girl, but it never happened.

So, when they heard that Grandpa Duran was bringing a granddaughter home, the four brothers were stoked. They felt that finally, there would be more than just nephews in the family, but also a niece.

Hearing this, Emily agreed, "Uncle, then you should formally introduce her to us."

Grandpa Duran pushed Cornelia forward, "This is Cornelia, from Rosenberg. She's my granddaughter and your junior. I hope you guys will look out for her."

Brian cocked his head arrogantly, "Hello! I'm Brian, the first in our generation, sixteenth in line in the whole family. From now on, you call me uncle."

Seeing that this boy was about her age, Cornelia struggled to call him uncle, "Hi Brian! We're peers, why don't we just call each other by name?"
