Maja quickly intercepted lan, pressing her fingers to her temples with a sigh.

"Zip it, will you?"

lan clammed up.

For the remainder of the evening, the group debated on names for the baby.

Everyone had different ideas, and it wasn't until the room cleared out that lan asked Maja her preference.

"Do you want the kid to have the surname Sanders or Raymond?"

"I'm good either way."

"If only we were expecting twins. One could take my name, the other yours."

lan wasn't too hung up on the surname it was his kid, and that's all that mattered.

Choosing a name for the baby had been a puzzle for lan for a while, so they finally settled on Craig Raymond for a boy, and Rosemary Raymond for a girl.

These names had been on their shortlist, and Maja was pleased with them.

After the brief dinner party, Beck hung around.

Dylan had been swamped with getting his little girl enrolled in school. She'd grown up on a research base, hardly knowing how to socialize. With no time to spare, he headed home as soon as the meal ended. Beck was curious about the baby's name and kept prodding for answers.

When lan came downstairs, he shared the names Craig and Rosemary.

Beck scrunched up his forehead, immediately dissatisfied. "Why should the kid take your name? We should have at least one who carries the Sanders family name. This is our first grandchild, after all." He thought lan was being stubborn and let out a snort.

"What era are we living in? Still

fussing over which side of the family

the kid takes after? The Sanders family isn't short on anything. If we really want to get into it, maybe you should be the one marrying into our family, huh?"

"Ian, I'll be straight with you-I'm really not pleased. You once hit me, remember? And then there was that time you wanted to divorce Maja-I've looked into all of that. She had a rough time because of you."

"My brother isn't fond of you either;

he just doesn't say it. And of course, neither is my dad. Nobody can stand the thought of their daughter getting remarried to the same man, right? So when it comes to the baby's name, you better play smart. No matter how many kids Maja has, they must carry the Sanders surname."

Beck was almost pointing a finger in lan's face.

Out of respect for Maja's family, lan held his tongue.

But once back in the bedroom, he vented to Maja.

"What's his deal? Does he talk trash about me to your dad? Does he badmouth me to Dylan behind my back?"

He grew increasingly uneasy. Even though he was married to Maja and they were expecting, he hadn't formally met the North American side of her family yet.

If Augus Sanders disapproved, he could be out on his ear at any moment.

So lan started to sow seeds of thought.

"Look, we're married, the baby's on the way, but your brothers are still bachelors It's common tradition

that the older kids marry off first et

They're not getting any younger. your dad

Maybe you should talk to

about setting them up on some dates."

Maja felt swayed by his argument. It wasn't right that her brothers stayed single, hovering over her in Greenfield. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

lan then inquired, "Beck's not seeing anyone, is he?"

"Doesn't seem like it."

Beck had his share of flings, but a serious girlfriend? None.

"Any childhood sweethearts? Someone he grew up with?"

"No clue. Never heard about anyone."

That spelled trouble. No wonder Beck was so full of energy, always on the lookout for lan's mistakes.
