NovelOnlineChapter 1443
"Oh, oh, oh.This is all Grandpa's fault!"
Dominic slapped his own face lightly and ordered someone to carry the child into a bedroom.
Then he covered Galen with a small blanket and watched the little boy toss and turn to a more comfortable sleeping position.
Once Galen had fallen back into his slumber, Dominic waved everyone away and cout.He tiptoed cautiously and kicked off the
slippers that were getting in the way.He only breathed a sigh of relief once he reached the living room.
When he saw Lily leisurely sipping on tea, he could not help but feel a surge of anger.
"Tell me, what are you trying to do?!"
"lI want you to doa favor, Mr.Fike," She replied politely.
"You want me..."
After a pause, all his anger seemed to have dissipated.
He was not used to Lily speaking to him so politely.
"Hey, hey, hey."
He glanced at her, speechless.

It wasn't that Lily disrespected him on purpose.
He was the one who told her to treat him as a friend.
Although she sometimes addressed him as an "old man," he was still pleased.
Now that Lily was polite, Dominic felt a little uncomfortable.
"What can | do for you?" He asked attentively.
If Austin saw the expression on Dominic's face right now, his heart would shatter into a million pieces.
Austin had always begged Dominic for help, only to receive the cold shoulder.He had never seen this side of Dominic, who seemed
genuine about helping.
Lily put down her teacup and casually said, "Take care of my baby."
"Take care of..."
His smiling face instantly froze as he sank into the sofa with a terrified expression.
"What baby?"
Lily quietly raised her hand and pointed toward the room.
"That one."
Dominic was flabbergasted.
"No way!"
He exclaimed.
“Impossible!”
"Really?"
Lily raised her eyebrows and asked again.
"l don't want to!"
Dominic turned and rejected her mercilessly.He did not want to look at her, fearing that he might not be able to reject her if he did.
‘No, no, no! | won't do it! Absolutely not!"
"Forget it, then.I'll just send Galen to sstranger."
Lily sighed helplessly.
"Otherwise, I'll just bring him to Burnwken with me."
"Bring him to Burnwken?!"
Dominic could not help but raise his voice when he heard this.

However, a sound from the bedroom quickly caused him to lower his voice again.
"What are you doing, going to Burnwken? It's so chaotic over there with the ongoing war.
"On top of that, there's a plague outbreak! You must've lost your mind! Don't bring him there!"
"I guess | have no choice but to leave my baby at hwith sstranger."
Lily ignored what he said and shrugged as if there were no other choice.Her actions rendered the old man speechless.
"Why are you leaving your son with a stranger? Are you an evil stepmother? What grudges do you have against the child? W-What
are you trying to do?!"
Dominic was so angry that he could barely speak coherently at the end.
Then he continued as he wagged his finger at her, "There are so many servants and nannies in your house.Are they all
incompetent?!"
"You know about how my nanny taught Galen to pick a lock? Besides, | haven't looked into her background yet.Her resseems
clean, and there's nothing wrong with her."
Dominic did not reply.He knew about this incident and also thought the nanny at Lily's house was suspicious, but that was not a
good enough reason for him to take Galen under his wings, was it?
"Then..."
After shesitation, Dominic said, "What about his grandmother? What about your uncle? The Russells and Christians are such a
big family.Why can't you find anyone you can rely on to care for your son???"
