It was Nathan who gave him the code name Sonny, and he had later chosen the surname Garza for himself on a whim.
“Well, actually…”
Sonny began, but before he could finish, Nathan interjected and answered, “His last name is Payne.”
Sonny turned his head abruptly and fixed his gaze on Nathan in bewilderment.
“Sir?”
Nathan offered a slight smile and said in a calm voice, “I plan to include your name in the family tree when we return. You’ll become my father’s adopted son. Henceforth, you’ll not only be my subordinate but also my brother.”
Tears welled up in Sonny’s eyes, a mixture of shock and gratitude overwhelming him.
“Sir, you’ve been so kind to me.
If Lucinda hadn’t been resting in Nathan’s arms, Sonny would have rushed over to embrace him tightly.
Nathan raised an eyebrow and teased, “Enough with the emotions.
You’re on the verge of tears. Don’t make a fool of yourself before the girl beside you.”

Sonny wiped away his tears and put on a serious expression. He turned his head towards Carlee, his joy evident.
“Did you hear that?
My last name will be Payne from now on!”
Carlee smiled cheerfully and said sincerely, “Congratulations, Sonny!”
The three of them shared a moment of pure happiness, except Lucinda.
ALL the troubles had been resolved, and she finally felt a sense of relief. She was overcome with exhaustion and didn’t want to utter a single word or make a sound.
While they playfully bantered with each other, Lucinda drifted off to sleep in Nathan’s arms.
Nathan glanced down at the sleeping woman and felt a strange sense.
“What’s wrong with her? She hasn’t been in a good state since we boarded the plane several hours ago. Our conversation didn’t even wake her up despite being so loud.”
Sonny asked, “Sir, aren’t you aware? Miss Simmons is pregnant.”
Pregnant?
Nathan was taken aback. How was that possible?
He always ensured he used contraceptive pills before being intimate with her.
