Love Me Or Leave Me

CHAPTER 13

Rebecca looked at her mother and smiled slightly, feeling very happy.

Debra saw her daughter smiling and thought, ‘That little smile, oh, it almost takes my breath away. She’s so beautiful when she smiles. We definitely chose the right name for our baby. Her smile suits the nickname, Becky, perfectly.”

As she thought of that, she reached out, pinched Rebecca’s cheek, and said with a grin, “Oh my baby, you look so beautiful when you smile, From now on, you should smile more often. How wonderful it would be to be happy and joyful for a lifetime!”

Rebecca felt a bit helpless. After spending the past few days with her mother, she began to understand her better. Debra was the type to say whatever she wanted and do whatever she felt like, and she was very straightforward and happy–go–lucky.

Rebecca thought about it and worriedly asked, “Mom… Theodore wants to change the kids‘ last name and their official birth registration. What should we do?”

After spending more time with her mother, Rebecca had a clearer idea of how she would live her life. She felt that it

as she believed would be best for her and her two children not to be involved with the Edwards family anymore, their family environment would be a bad influence on her children.

sy to change

However, she was worried that the Edwards family, with their influence in Macloria, would find it easy the children’s official birth registration and last name.

Rebecca was concerned that she wouldn’t be able to change her children’s fate.

Debra looked at her with a hint of reproach and asked, “Why? You don’t have faith in the Carter family?”

Rebecca was rendered speechless by her words and felt bewildered.

Debra smiled and said, “Alright, sweetheart, you don’t need to worry about this. I’ll call your older brothers. They have many connections. If we have someone crack down on this during this time, no matter how powerful the Edwards family is, they won’t be able to change the children’s official birth registration and last name without your

consent.

“According to the law, once the child’s official birth registration is completed, changing the name requires the consent of both parents. Otherwise, it’s not possible!”

With that, she pulled out her phone and began contacting Adrian and Bryce. After explaining the situation to them, she urged her sons to handle the matter immediately and not waste any time..

Debra thought that with strict enforcement from above, subordinates wouldn’t dare to take advantage of any

loopholes. Consequently, Theodore wouldn’t be able to change the children’s official birth registration and last

name without Rebecca’s consent.

After listening to their mother, Adrian and Bryce understood how serious the matter was. They then promptly

agreed and immediately went to find someone to handle it.

Meanwhile, Theodore made calls downstairs immediately after leaving Rebecca’s room. He was adamant that these two children must have his last name, and their official birth registration had to be recorded in their family

records.

The Edwards family indeed had extensive connections, and within just a few minutes, Theodore had made arrangements with the person on the other end. He only needed to hand in the documents, and the children’s official birth registration and last name would be changed in no time.

It was already late when he made the call today, so it wouldn’t be possible to change the children’s official birth registration and last name immediately. With the next two days being the weekend, the earliest he could take care of it would be next Monday during the Civil Registry Office’s business hours.

Nonetheless, Theodore wasn’t worried. He believed the matter was simple and could be easily handled in a few days.

As for Rebecca…

As Theodore thought back to her actions over the last two days, he became very irritated.

He pondered, ‘Ever since Rebecca gave birth, she seems like a different person. She used to always look at me with those pathetic, pleading eyes, which were quite annoying! But now, she barely looks at me and even dares to talk back and demand a divorce. She really wants a complete, clear–cut divorce. It seems like most of the time…she’s focused on the children and that woman named Debra who suddenly appeared?”

The more Theodore thought about it, the stranger it seemed and the more irritated he became. He didn’t want to think about Rebecca anymore, so he finally stopped, took out his phone, and called a friend to go out for drinks.

In the evening, Rebecca and Debra also received good news. Patrick had already sorted out his work on the Hivalis side, and he could come to Maeloria next week.

With his daughter in Maeloria, he didn’t want to stay in Hivalis a moment longer. Unfortunately, they had left in such a hurry that day that there was still a lot of work left to arrange there. So, they had only spent a few days with Rebecca in the hospital before they had to return to work. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

But now, everything was sorted. Patrick had already taken care of everything at Hivalis. He could now bring a team

to Maeloria, start organizing the opening of the branch store, and spend time with his beloved daughter and those two adorable little kids. Just imagining it made him feel wonderful.

At the same time, the news that the Carter family was going to open a branch in Macloria spread quickly, and many of Maeloria residents heard about it.

Which jewelry store was the best in Zentiscape, you asked?

If the Carter family’s jewelry store claimed to be second best, no one would have dared to say they were first. Throughout the country and even among many international celebrities, when people wanted to purchase jewelry, the Carter family’s store was their first choice.

When the news spread that this prestigious jewelry store was opening a branch in Maeloria, the whole upper class

of Maeloria was thrilled.

They no longer had to fly all the way to Hivalis to buy beautiful jewelry. Now, they could get the best jewelry in the country right in Maeloria.

Even Janet, who had just had a baby, was part of the thrilled crowd.

She had been in the entertainment industry for five years and loved using the Carter family’s jewelry.

The first reason was that the Carter family’s jewelry had the best quality and design in the country, with authentic content, and their designs were internationally recognized.

Another reason was that the Carter family’s jewelry was one of the world’s top 100 luxury brands. Merely having their latest items would attract significant media attention and possibly go viral.

Janet was thrilled when she heard that the Carter family was opening a branch in Maëloria.

She thought, ‘When the new store opens, the Carter family will definitely launch new products, right? I’ll have the advantage of her proximity to the store to snag their latest limited luxury items. That will make my post–maternity return all the more sensational!”

With that in mind, Janet immediately called her agent, Lisa, over and instructed her to find out all the details about the Carter family’s branch opening, including whether they would launch new

products, when they would be launched, and what they would be.

Most importantly, she needed to secure an invitation to the Carter family’s store opening ceremony as they would definitely hold a grand opening ceremony. That would give her something to show off when she made her

comeback.

Being able to attend the opening of a branch of the Carter family jewelry shop, one of the top 100 luxury brands globally, would prove Janet’s status. She even thought she might have a chance to become their spokesperson one day.

“Janet, is this for real? Is the Carter family really opening a jewelry store in Maeloria?” Lisa asked. She found it hard to believe after hearing Janet and even wondered if such a big brand would actually come to Maeloria.

“Of course, it’s real. Go and gather the information for me. Remember, you must get me that invitation no matter

what!” Janet insisted.

Lisa quickly agreed, “Got it.”

Then, Janet asked, “Oh, and any new opportunities for me to stage a comeback?”
