Chapter 1452


    “Why?” A look of curiosity appeared in Stanley Batton’s eyes.


    “Your family has been so nice to me. I feel that it’s only right for the children to take after your


    family’s surname…” X Quest said seriously.


    “To be honest, we don’t care about these things…” Stanley said.


    “But I do…” X said.


    With that, X looked at Stanley earnestly. “Stanley, will you listen to me? Otherwise, I’m going to


    ignore you…”


    The Batton family had been so nice to her. It’d be unjustifiable for her children not to take after the


    Batton family’s surname.


    Seeing how X had be serious, Stanley helplessly nodded. “Alright… Alright… As you


    wish…”

    X’s facial expression immediately became gentle. “That’s more like it…”


    Stanley affectionately ruffled her hair. “Do you feel better now? Is there anything bugging you?”


    “I’m fine…” X shook her head.


    “That’s great…” Stanley said.


    Right then, Wilson Batton walked out of the kitchen.


    Wilson was wearing a white apron. There were still beads of sweat on his hands.


    While wiping his hands gently on the apron to get rid of the sweat, Wilson walked over to X and


    Stanley. “What are you two talking about?”


    “We’re talking about whose surname the children will take,” Stanley said.


    When Wilson heard this, he instantly smiled kindly. “What kind of question is this? Does it even


    make a difference?”


    “No… I want the children to have Batton as their surname…” X said.


    Wilson chuckled. “Anything goes… Even if their surname is Quest, I won’t mind. Regardless of


    whose surname they take after, they’re still my grandson and granddaughter…”


    With that, Wilson sat next to X. “Your mother and Catherine are busy cooking in the kitchen.


    There’s not much I can help with. So I’ll just chat with you guys.”


    X nodded and searched for a topic to talk about. “Dad, would you prefer two boys or two girls?”


    Once this topic was brought up, Wilson’s expression became even gentler. “Either boys or girls will


    be fine… As long as they’re in my family, I’d love them all…”


    X was very happy with Wilson’s open-mindedness…


    Usually, people from wealthy backgrounds cared a lot about the gender of the younger generation.


    The more affluent the family, the more the family would prefer having sons…


    That was because people tended to feel that family businesses should be passed down to sons


    based on traditional mindsets.


    However, this issue didn’t exist in the Batton family at all.


    X truly felt that she was fortunate…


    “If you were to ask me, I’d honestly say that girls are better… There are far too many men in our


    family…


    “Honestly, boys and girls are the same now. Girls can also inherit the family business…” Wilson


    added.


    “Dad, you’re really open-minded.” X had a satisfied look on her face.


    “Hehe. Not too bad, I guess…” Wilson chuckled. After that, he suddenly turned to look at Stanley


    with a serious expression. “I’ll repeat the same thing. Take good care of X…”


    “Yeah, I know.” Stanley also had a serious look on his face.


    ***


    Approximately an hourter, Sharon Lindt and Catherine Batton finished preparing a tableful of


    delicious food.


    These were all X’s favorite dishes.


    The dishes included sweet-and-sour ribs, steamed pork, ginseng herbal chicken soup, sour-and-


    spicy potato strips, and stir-fried string beans.


    After the meal, Sharon left with Wilson and Catherine.


    After sending them off, X and Stanley sat down on the sofa.


    Once the two had sat down, Stanley slowly pressed his ear against X’s stomach. “You two… Be


    good and grow up well, alright? Don’t trouble your mother… Don’t make her ufortable during


    pregnancy…” Stanley said.


    His tone was solemn. He looked like the typical strict father.
