NovelOnline“No, no!” Galen waved his tiny hands, reluctant. He had seldom been to Margaret's house. Although he only had vague memories
of those trips, he knew the place was so far away that he had to sleep for hours before getting there.
Furthermore, it was boring there, and Margaret was not good at entertaining children. As a result, Galen felt uneasy with her.
Children’s intuition was sharp, so it would be challenging to be close to someone if they did not like that person.
Since Galen was unwilling, Alexander did not want to make him go against his wish. Besides, he knew going there would delay his
plan as Margaret lived far away.
“Then...”
“I'll stay here and look after Grandpa Dom!” Galen jumped off the chair and said confidently.
Alexander chuckled. “Are you sure?”
“Yes! Mommy says | will grow up to be someone capable like you, Daddy!” Galen cocked his head and recalled what his mother
had told him.
Alexander was surprised at how much his son had grown and how he could express himself clearly. Galen could only say a few

He made the promise both to Galen and himself.
“Daddy is the best!” Galen stood on tiptoe and kissed Alexander's cheek.
Galen's gesture warmed Alexander, and the latter smiled before patting Galen's head. “You're the best, too!”
As he turned and walked out of the room, he bumped into Austin, who was surprised to see him holding the jacket. “You're going
out?”
“Yes.” Alexander nodded. “I'm leaving this place in your hands for now.”

Austin was taken aback. “But won't you spread the disease if you leave now?”
