Chapter 246: The Child Must Carry The Last Name Steele!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jordan grew up experiencing a variety of trials arranged by his family, so his maturity level had long surpassed that of the majority of people of the same age as him.
However, it was Jordan’s first time being a father!
This feeling was wonderful and exciting for him.
After all, women are the ones who give birth to babies, and men do not get to experience the process of childbirth firsthand.
He had just been informed outside the ward that the child had been born.
Soon, Sylvie walked over to Jordan excitedly and said happily, “Hailey has delivered! Hailey has delivered!”
Jordan was a little surprised. “So soon? Are the twins two boys or two girls? Or is it a boy and a girl?”
After entering the delivery room, it took only over ten minutes for Hailey to deliver, and Jordan thought it would take at least an hour or two.
In fact, there was no absolute relationship between the time of entering the delivery room and the duration of delivery because there were three stages of labor. Hailey was already in the third stage of labor, which would take no more than 30 minutes.
Sylvie replied, “We don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl yet. We have to wait for another two hours before they can be brought out.”
“Oh.” Jordan rubbed his hands, eager to see the babies!
Sylvie instructed Jordan, “Remember the exact timing of their birth.”
“Alright, Aunt Sylvie.”
Sylvie rubbed her hands together gleefully and said, “What do you think is a good name for the children? I thought of a few. Tell me what you think of them.”
“If it’s two boys, one will be called Zachary and the other Zander.”
“If it’s two girls, one will be named Scarlet and the other Sierra.”
“If it’s a boy and a girl, how about Adam and Anna?”
Seeing that his former mother-in-law had painstakingly given his children names, Jordan smiled and said, “They sound great.”
To his surprise, Sylvie continued, “Zachary Huxley, Zander Huxley, Zachary Camden, Zander Camden, Sierra Huxley, Scarlet Huxley, Sierra Camden, Scarlet Camden. Hahhaa that sounds great.”
Jordan’s smile suddenly changed!
Jordan questioned Sylvie with a serious expression, “Auntie, what do you mean?”
Sylvie said, “What do YOU mean?”
Jordan said, “What do you mean by taking the last names of these names and adding Camden or Huxley? I’m the father of the children, and their last names should be Steele!”
Jordan was furious because he thought that they should be carrying his last name!
Hearing his words, Sylvie chuckled and said, “Jordan, are you alright? You want the babies to take your last name? You’re just a live-in husband. Why should they take your last name? Don’t you know that a live-in son-in-law is not qualified to have his children take his last name?”
“Now there are only two possibilities for their last names, and they were Huxley or Camden. Hailey wants them to take her last name, but I think that since she has already married Cayden, they should take his last name. What do you think, Jordan?”
Jordan flew into a rage. “Bullshit! My children can only carry the last name ‘Steele’!”
Seeing that Jordan had lost his temper, Victoria quickly grabbed his arm and persuaded, “Jordan, simmer down and talk things over slowly. The babies have just been born, don’t be so eager to name them.”
Sylvie rolled her eyes at Jordan and said, “My dear former son in law can you go back and look in the mirror? After three years of freeloading off the Camdens. You still want the children to take your last name? Oh, you’ve got some nerve.”
After saying that, she walked back to the delivery room.
Bang!
Jordan was so furious that he punched the wall.
Although the children have been born, they would soon be taken away by his family, but he hoped that ‘Steele’ would be their registered last name.
“Jordan, calm down, wait for Hailey to come out of the delivery room, and talk things over with her then. Her life may not be out of danger yet.”
Jordan nodded.
Just like that, another two hours passed.
The Huxleys were a notable family, and today, everyone thought it was Cayden’s kids that were going to be born so soon. The Huxleys’ acquaintances and friends were gathered at the hospital, including those who wanted to suck up to them.
Soon, Arthur himself also arrived.
As soon as Arthur got out of the elevator, he saw Victoria and Jordan.
Arthur had long treated Victoria as his younger sibling, so he naturally wouldn’t fail to greet her when he saw her.
“Victoria, what brings you here?” Arthur asked curiously.
Victoria smiled and said, “Just to join in the fun.”
Arthur smiled and said, Victoria, you’re really too harsh to Russell. I’m Russell’s sworn brother, and you still beat me so hard.”
Arthur was implying that Perry Express, which was helmed by Victoria, had completely defeated Breezy Express.
Victoria said, “Mr. Huxley, don’t say that. I’m just an acting president, and the person who has real control over the operations is Miss Audrey. How dare I compete with you, Mr. Huxley?”
Arthur smiled, knowing that Victoria wasn’t a simple woman. He looked at Jordan again and asked, “You must be Mr. Jordan Steele, right?”
Jordan and Arthur were meeting for the first time. Jordan greeted, “Hello, Mr. Huxley.”
Arthur had heard Russell mention that Jordan was not a simple person. It was highly likely that his expulsion from the Steele family was a hoax.
However, Arthur did not know about Jordan’s relationship with his granddaughter-in-law, Hailey.
Hence, he said, “Since you are here, let’s go see my great-grandchildren together.”
Arthur took the two of them to the delivery room together.
At this moment, the operation was over, and Hailey had given birth to a pair of twins comprising of a girl and a boy!
Arthur burst into laughter and said, “I heard that the chances of having twins are extremely low, and to have a boy and a girl is even less likely. It’s a huge blessing that my grandson gets a son and a daughter at the same time!”
“Congratulations, Mr. Huxley! Congratulations on your great-grandchildren!”
“In the future, the boy will definitely inherit your family’s business empire while the girl will rise to fame in the city!”
Others showered Arthur with compliments.
‘Hmph, a bunch of idiots. You people don’t even know that the babies don’t belong to the Huxleys at all. Arthur’s dearest grandson had become infertile a long time ago, and he can forget about having children forever!’
Jordan secretly thought, but he wouldn’t make things hard for Cayden in public.
He entered the delivery room and looked at the pair of little angels from afar while countless warmth surged in his heart.
There seemed to be a telepathic communication between him and the children as he felt they must belong to him!
At this moment, Jordan’s phone rang. It was a call from Frank.
Jordan then walked out, ran to the security exit, and answered the phone.
“Butler Frank.”
“Mr. Jordan, I heard that your ex-wife Hailey went into labor today. Have the babies been delivered safely?”
“Yes, labor went smoothly, and both the mother and children are safe. She gave birth to a boy and a girl.”
“A boy and a girl? There’s like a 0.1% chance of that happening. Congratulations, Mr. Jordan!”
“Thank you.”
“But don’t mind me. Although you trust Hailey, it’s still necessary to do a DNA paternity test!”
