Love Me Or Leave Me

CHAPTER 11

“Sure,” Rebecca agreed.

Debra laughed, her heart overflowing with joy.

Naming the babies was a big deal, so the mother and daughter started brainstorming, scouring the internet for the perfect nickname.

Debra felt like such a big decision should be a family affair, so she texted Patrick and Rebecca’s brothers, asking everyone to help choose a nickname for the babies.

But with more chefs in the kitchen, the task became even more daunting, and they couldn’t decide on a name for

quite a while.

Around noon, Paul called to say that Janet had delivered a baby boy, and both mom and son were doing well.

Speaking of this, Paul was furious, He still remembered Theodore hadn’t shown up when Rebecca was giving birth, but now that some other woman was having a bastard, Theodore rushed over and practically glued to the kid. Ever since the child left the delivery room, he hadn’t let go of the baby.

“Debra, Rebecca must divorce that piece of trash! It’s absolutely unforgivable! It’s outrageous!” Paul demanded angrily over the phone.

Debra was equally fuming. How could such trash exist in this world?

Then there were Sam and Melissa, two hypocrites who acted so righteously in front of Becky. They said that if Becky ever suffered, she could come to them, and they would stand up for her. But now, what happened?

The second that homewrecker popped out a kid, those two were practically sprinting to the hospital!

Not only did they go themselves, but they also made sure Theodore went along. Now the whole damn family was having a grand old time at the hospital, fawning over the mistress and her baby.

How dare this family ask for her precious daughter’s forgiveness?

“Mom, I’m fine.” Rebecca gently squeezed her mother’s hand, after seeing how upset she was.

Debra looked at her daughter, her heart aching even more.

Soon, her eyes filled with tears as she apologized, “Becky, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been so careless back then, you wouldn’t be taken away from me and wouldn’t have had to go through all that.”

Rebecca quickly took out a tissue and wiped her mother’s tears, comforting her. “It’s okay, Mom. It’s all over now. We’ve found each other, and things will only get better.”

Hearing this, Debra quickly nodded, “Yes, Becky. You are right. Things will get better and better. You have your whole life ahead of you. You’ve been through so much, now it’s time for you to be

happy.”

Over the next week, Sam and Melissa were very busy. They tried to keep peace at home, taking care of Rebecca and the twins while also sneaking off to the hospital to visit their other great– grandchild.

An heir was all they’d ever wanted. If Janet had given birth to a girl, maybe they wouldn’t have cared so much, but a son…It changed everything. They might have despised the mistress and loathed Janet’s family, but they didn’t hate their great–grandson. They even worried that the boy would be influenced in a bad way if he stayed with Janet’s family, so they were trying to let Theodore take the child away.

Debra had Paul keep an eye on things at the hospital, and this was what Paul discovered.

Sam and Melissa wanted Theodore to take Janet’s child and have Rebecca raise him. They even argued that while

the adults were at fault, the child was innocent. Plus, Rebecca was a good person. She would understand if they

explained it to her properly.

Debra couldn’t help but laugh angrily after hearing this. Sam and Melissa really had some nerve. Did they think her daughter was some kind of saint who would raise the child of a mistress?

“Becky, listen to me,” Debra advised her daughter earnestly. “There isn’t a single good soul in the Edwards family.

Don’t fall for their smooth talk and phony smiles. We gotta learn to see through their crap and get to the heart of

the matter.”

“I know.” Rebecca nodded in agreement.

“Mom, why don’t we just let the babies pick their own names?” Rebecca asked, holding the babies.

Debra was momentarily stunned, and then her eyes lit up. She nodded. “Sure.”

Over the past week, the whole family had been brainstorming names for the babies. Even Paul had pitched in with

several suggestions.

With so many good options, they couldn’t decide which ones to use.

In the end, they decided it would be best to let the babies choose their own names by drawing lots.

Once the decision was made, Debra and Rebecca got to work immediately.

Debra bought the paper and a pen and wrote down all the options. The babies would rely on their own luck to

draw their first names and nicknames.

After Debra finished writing the names, she let the babies draw their own lots.

In the end, the big sister was named Lillian Carter, with the nickname Lily, and the little brother was named Kevin

Carter, with the nickname Kev.

The birth licenses for the twins were still pending. This should have been done at the hospital, but Paul had already thought about it. He didn’t want the babies to have the Edwards family name, so he had stalled it on purpose. Now, after talking it over with Rebecca, they’d settled on names and surnames, and they could officially apply for the birth licenses.

Debra sent the children’s full names to Paul, and he quickly got the birth licenses processed for both babies. From now on, the twins would have the Carter family name and be their adorable little ones!

With the birth certificates in hand, getting the babies registered was much easier.

Bryce had worked at the police station. He just had to submit the birth licenses and the babies‘ information, and the birth registration issue was quickly resolved.

By the time everything was wrapped up, more than two weeks had flown by. In just another week, those little

bundles would be a month old..

Sam and Melissa also kept this in mind and wanted to throw a party for the babies. They specifically asked

Rebecca about the babies‘ names.

Rebecca and Debra exchanged a glance and finally told them that the babies didn’t go with the name Edwards.

Melissa was stunned, and Sam was equally shocked. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Even Theodore looked at Rebecca in disbelief.

“Rebecca, are you out of your mind?” Theodore asked angrily.

Rebecca’s face remained calm. She looked down at the babies and lifted her head the divorce license, the children are mine and have nothing to do with you, right?”

Theodore had used the babies‘ lives as leverage to force her to sign the divorce license. Now that they were born, they naturally had nothing to do with Theodore.

“And since the children are with me, I get to choose their last names, right?” Rebecca spoke again, but this time, her voice was firm and full of power.
