Chapter 1333 Gilbert and Marigold (8)

When night fell, Marigold was sitting on the sofa in the living room. She was normally

already asleep at this hour, but today, she didn't feel the least bit drowsy. The words Jenny

had said to her in the afternoon kept replaying in her head, and she began to reflect on

herself. Perhaps she'd been wrong. Was her child destined to be inferior to others just

because his parents didn't get married? Jenny had reminded her of an important point.

While being lost in her thoughts, she heard the sound of a car outside.

Gilbert was home. Soon, the living room door was opened, and in came Gilbert. After

turning on the lights, he spotted Marigold sitting on the sofa. Feeling puzzled, he asked,

"It's late. Why are you still awake?"

"I have something to discuss with you." Marigold looked at him resolutely- she'd finally

made a decision.

Gilbert didn't hurry to sit down and listen attentively. Instead, he leisurely put his bag

aside, walked over, and grabbed a glass of water. Only then did he ask, "What is it?"

Marigold gestured for him to come and sit down. Gilbert walked over and took a seat

across from her. Immediately, Marigold handed him a Social Security card. "The child's

name has been decided, and the Social Security registration is done."

Gilbert didn't look at it. Instead, he responded with a perfunctory "okay" without much

reaction. Marigold couldn't gauge what he was thinking.

Nevertheless, she persisted and shoved the card before him. "Don't you want to take a

look?"

She held the card right in front of him, so even if he was genuinely uninterested, he had

no choice but to reach out and take it from her. When he saw the name "Caleb Hawthorn,"

his hand jolted a little involuntarily. Hawthorn...Was the child really taking his surname?

'Why didn't you let him have your surname?" Gilbert handed the Social Security card back

to Marigold. Although he appeared unaffected on the surface, his heart was actually

beating rapidly.

’I think Hawthorn sounds nicer. Don't you think Caleb Hawthorn sounds much better than

Caleb Wagner?" Marigold asked with a smile. Gilbert looked at her and remained silent for

a long time. Putting the Social Security card aside, Marigold continued, "Actually, I wanted

to talk to you about organizing a naming ceremony for Cal."

’A naming ceremony? Didn't we agree not to hold one?" Gilbert furrowed his brow. He was

more inclined toward not having one.

"After thinking about it for some time, I realized that even though we're not married, this

has nothing to do with our child. Since such celebrations are commonly held for other

children, shouldn't we organize one for him too?" After all, Gilbert was her child's father.

Although she'd already decided on having the celebratory ceremony, she felt it was still

necessary to inform him. However, regardless of whether he agreed, Marigold would still

organize it for their child.

Gilbert kept quiet as he was genuinely pondering Marigold's words. The child was his, too,

so of course, he wanted the best for his child and didn't want him to lose out on anything

compared to his peers. He believed that his child should be showered with love from the

moment he was born.

’Alright. I'll go with your decision," he finally agreed. Just as Marigold had said, if other

children had such a ceremony held for them, their child should have one too. Upon

hearing his agreement, the corners of Marigold’s lips lifted upward.

‘Okay, then I'll start making arrangements for Cal's naming ceremony. It will be lively and

festive for sure!"

"No need. I'll have someone take care of it. You should rest more," Gilbert stated,

concerned about Marigold's health. He didn't want her to personally handle the

preparations and tire herself out.

Marigold pursed her lips and disagreed with him. "Cal is my son, so it's only natural for me

to take care of the arrangements-”

’He won't just have a naming ceremony. There will also be birthday parties and other even

more significant events like his graduation, first job, marriage...There will be many other

opportunities in his life for us to hold celebrations," he elaborated, suggesting that she

shouldn't exhaust herself over just one celebration and end up compromising her health.
