Novel1Chapter 1228:
When they approached the car, Stella turned to look at Eileen. “Look, | know | shouldn't have dropped by
unannounced, but hearout: you can't just disregard the Dawson family because of your Vazquez lineage and
new status. Not counting Gabriela because she was born during your divorce, but if you have another child, they
should carry the Dawson surname.”
“Be careful on the way,” Eileen said, glancing at Jarred, who stood patiently by the car. He nodded and stepped
aside. She then turned to Stella. “Visit you at the Dawson Mansion next twith Bryan.”
Eileen turned to leave before Stella even got into the car.
While Eileen could understand Stella’s point, she couldn't bring herself to remain calm. It wasn’t that Stella
objected to Bryan's child having the Vazquez surname. After all, she had even suggested that Gabriela’s
surnbe changed to Vazquez.
Stella’s concern was that if Eileen had another child with the Vazquez surname, the Dawson family line would
cto an end. Eileen was uncertain if she still planned to have more than one child, let alone a son.
Eileen walked back into the room to find Leyla sitting on the sofa.

After drawing a deep breath, Eileen slowly made her way over, calling softly, “Grandma.”
Leyla reached for Eileen’s hand, gently patting it. “Stella's only concerned with the Dawson family. She's not
trying to hurt you or make things difficult for me. Don’t let it get under your skin. But let's be real—if you do
have three kids with different last names, things might get a bit chaotic. Do you understand?”

Eileen paused, her worry evident. “You don’t need to comfort me,” she responded, concerned she might have
offended Leyla. After all, these were the rules passed down through the generations of the Vazquez family.
Leyla sighed, her voice steady. “That's just old tradition from our ancestors, but in today’s world, those rules
seem outdated. Times change, and so does society. Our family’s tradition of strong women has already made us
a bit of a hot topic in Alverton.” She paused, contemplating. “I can’t change the Vazquez family rules—after all, |
only have one daughter.”
She continued, “But think about it—why not turn the Vazquez family’s business into money? Managing it from so
far away is tough. Instead, you could use the family’s wealth to expand your influence in Onaland. As long as the
Vazquez legacy is carried on by future generations, isn’t that enough?”
Eileen was surprised by Leyla’s words. Her concern just now had been that Leyla might be feeling offended by
Stella's earlier remarks.
Leyla chuckled softly. “Harmony brings prosperity. Stella is all about the Dawson family’s interests. She's
dedicated to them, and that’s not a fault. Old age comes with its quirks—few are as understanding as me.”
