Chapter 564
Mila hated to spoil Gary’s and Florence’s excitement, but she didn’t like that name. So, she leaned into Nathan’s arm and whispered in his ear, “Evan Hoffis is a fantastic poet overseas.” Nathan felt a warmth inside as he glanced down at his arm, where Mila was intimately close to him. He realized she was fine with Cameron’s arrival.
After clearing his throat, Nathan said, “Dad, let’s consider another name.”
Florence and Cameron looked at Nathan with confusion.
“But this name seems perfectly fine,” Cameron said.
Florence chimed in, “Yes, it’s a nice name. Are you opposed to giving the child Wanda’s surname?”
Nathan looked helpless as he explained, “It’s not about the surname. It’s just that the name isn’t ideal. It happens to be the same as a foreign poet.”
Mila beamed as she suggested, “Let’s have our son carry Nathan’s surname. It has a strong presence.”
Gary and Florence nodded with warm smiles. “That sounds good. Let’s pick a name that goes well with Morrison.”
Just then, Cameron chimed in with a playful tone, “Nicolas Morrison.”
Mila and Nathan were left speechless.
Cameron chuckled at his own joke.
“Sounds great! That name really stands out,” Gary exclaimed excitedly.
“Yes, it’s a solid choice, though it sounds familiar,” Florence agreed with applause.
“No,” Nathan disagreed firmly.
Cameron scratched his chin thoughtfully, his expression serious as he suggested, “How about Emeric Morrison?”
Gary’s excitement resurged, and he pounded the table in agreement. “Brilliant! The name is sophisticated, unique, and right on trend.”
Mila was at a loss for words. She let out a helpless sigh.
Emeric Morrison was a remarkable foreign scientist renowned for his groundbreaking inventions.
Nathan couldn’t stand Cameron any longer. He tugged at Cameron’s arm and said, “You must be busy. Let me arrange for the driver to take you home.” Cameron shook his head firmly. “I’m not busy at all.”
Nathan looked annoyed and stared at him, “Are you deliberately messing around here?”
Cameron grinned and winked. Then, he turned to Gary and Florence. “What about Gaius Morrison? It has a nicer meaning.”
Mila sighed. Leaning her elbow on the table, she rested her head on her hand, looking defeated.
Florence and Gary, both unfamiliar with foreign cultures, were hearing these names for the first time. They thought the names sounded fantastic and grew more excited as they continued talking.
Cameron proposed another name. “Percival Morrison.”
Mila couldn’t contain her laughter.
Growing increasingly frustrated, Nathan exclaimed, “You’re definitely doing this intentionally.”
Gary was taken aback. “What’s the issue? I think all of Cameron’s suggestions are quite nice.”
“Gary, Florence, I’ve read Evan
Hoffis’ poems and books by Emeric
In
Morrion and Percival Morrison. I’ve even played Nicolas Morrison’s compositions. They’re all great names but famous worldwide,” Mila explained calmly. .
Gary and Florence smiled awkwardly while Cameron chuckled, trying to stifle it with his hand.
Nathan couldn’t take it anymore. He yanked Cameron’s arm and said, “You’ve got stuff to do. I’ll walk you out myself.””
Cameron reluctantly rose to his feet. “No, I don’t-”
Nathan continued to push him forward. “Yes, you are!”
Helplessly, Cameron glanced back as he walked away. “Guys, I’ll head back first!”
The trio waved goodbye, offering polite smiles as they watched Cameron leave.
Nathan walked Cameron to his car and pushed him into the driver’s seat before closing the door.
Cameron leaned out the window and asked, “When’s your wedding?”
Nathan pushed Cameron’s head back inside. “I’ll tell you when it’s happening so you can be my best man.”
“Sure thing, I’ll be waiting,” Cameron
replied with a warm smile, tinged with guilt. “Nate, I’m genuinely sorry this time. I promise to step up as a brother and keep a closer eye on Fenna from now on.”
Nathan just waved in response before departing.
