Baby Robbie was extremely worried too. "It looks like i t. Look at how foolishly she’s grinning."
Jenson looked closely at his mommy only to realize that there was a naive expression on her face. The usual range of expressions was gone from her face, which caused his worry to increase.
Turning to look at Jay, he asked accusingly, "Daddy, what did you do to her?"
Jay was very used to Angeline's foolish grins. When they were younger, this naive grin of contentment would appear on her face whenever her wishes were fulfilled.
"Ignore her. Eat,” Jay said.
Josephine was still worried about Angeline. "Sis Angeline, do you still want to elope with me?"
Angeline shook her head. "You’d better elope with Zayne. I’m afraid your brother would kill me otherwise.”
Josephine came to her conclusion. "Oh no, seems like she’s foolish now."
The children took turns to determine if Angeline’s foolishness was part of a pretense or real.
Baby Zetty asked her, "Miss, do you still remember who I am?"
Angeline squished Baby Zetty's pink, delicate face as she answered, "You're my Baby Zetty. Your name's Rozette Loyle."
Jay corrected her. "From today onward, call her Rozette Ares!”
Angeline protested, saying, "Why does she have to take your surname? Is there anything wrong with her taking my surname?"
"What's your surname?" Jay asked her a question in return.
"Loyle!"
"Hmm? What's your surname?"
Angeline came to a realization but still refused to comply. "Well, she still can't take the surname Ares. Can't she take Severe as her surname?"
Jay nodded. "Sure."
Baby Zetty was infuriated. "Why should I take your surname? I have my daddy and mommy. You don't get a say in my surname. I think you’re insane."
When Baby Zetty finished speaking, she ran upstairs i n a huff and shut her door with a bang.
Angeline trembled in fear.
Then, she directed her gaze toward Baby Robbie and said in a cutesy tone, "Baby Robbie, why don't you take my surname?"
