Celeste Grant finally understood why he was so angry.
'The people in this world have such old-fashioned ideas,' she thought. 'Since ancient times, children have always taken their father's surname. The only exception is if the biological father dies and the mother remarries, taking the child with her.'
'Otherwise, who in their right mind would change their own son's surname?'
'This world is different from the modern one. In the modern world, children also usually take their father's surname at birth. However, if the woman's household registration hasn't been transferred to her husband's family, the child can take the mother's surname as long as both parties agree. It's legally recognized.'
'So that's why this man is so furious. He doesn't think I'm wishing for his death, does he? That I'm cursing him?'
'God, I'm being totally misjudged here.'
He closed in on her.
"I-I didn't... I wasn't thinking that at all! You're overthinking it, man."
