Chapter 1420
Galen thought his mother would severely reprimand him at first. He happily wanted to show off his skill
and realized that not only was Lily not going to scold him again, but she also said she could not open
the lock.
Galen put his tiny hands together, twisted them, then said," Poof!" to indicate how he opened the lock.
Others might not understand his performance, but since he was Lily's son, she immediately caught on,
even though she found it hard to believe. "That was it?"
"Uh-huh." He nodded vigorously.
Lily thought about it and gestured at the maid standing aside. "Please lock the showcase."
The maid was puzzled. Dominic also came over as the maid looked toward her employer for his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinstruction. Dominic was also curious how a toddler could open the showcase.
Initially, he thought it was an accident and that the maids did not lock the showcase properly. Now that
Lily questioned her son, he rechecked the lock and felt it did not seem to be the maid's fault.
'If Galen did open it, he must be a child prodigy.’
Dominic stood by the showcase and saw the maid looking over. Then he impatiently waved her off.
"Why are you looking at me? Lock it!"
"O-Oh..." The maid deftly put the lock back on.
To ensure the maid had properly locked it, Lily tugged at it and tried to open the showcase, but she
learned that she could not do so without the key the maid was holding.
She looked at her son. "Here you go."
She pointed her lips toward the showcase, wanting him to show her how he did it.
Galen tried to stand on his toes but was a bit too short. He stepped on a small stool he sat on
whenever he played, and his hands could reach the lock.
He was somehow holding a thin stick in his hand. No, it was softer than a stick, seemingly a cable that
he had pulled off some toy. He cocked his head, inserted the cable slowly, and his hands made several
twisting motions as he had demonstrated earlier, rotating it unhurriedly.
It looked like he was trying his luck, but he was meticulous, and one might notice that he was
simultaneously listening carefully. Then like how he showed Lily just now, he said," Poof!" and the lock
sprung open. Everyone gawked at it except the little boy.
"I opened it!" Galen happily pointed at the showcase and proudly straightened his back as if waiting for
his mother to praise him.
Lily had yet to recover from her shock.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe child was less than two years old, and she had never realized anything unusual about him. She
only told
Alexander before that since both of them had high IQs, their children would not be too stupid.
Alexander had told her not to expect too much and that what mattered most was for their son to be
healthy, happy, and safe. As for what Galen would become, they could only wait until he grew up.
Lily did not expect the first talent Galen show would be in this area.
"W-What can I say? Does he have the talent to be a locksmith or a safebreaker?’
She was so shocked that she did not know what to say. She palmed her forehead as she still had
difficulty processing what she had just seen. Meanwhile, Galen did not receive his due praise and felt
puzzled because his mother did not look upset.
The little boy hesitated and looked toward Dominic instead.
