    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 reying 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’ste. 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 ss of water. Only then did he ask, “What is it?”


    Marigold gestured for him toe 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 aremonly 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 anythingpared 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 borated, suggesting that she shouldn’t exhaust herself over just


    one celebration and end uppromising her health.
