When the couple and their son reached home, they saw the black Volkswagen Atlas parked within the
compound and knew their company had arrived.
"Mr. Corden is always on time, isn’t he?” Lily said with a chuckle when she saw the car.
Alexander carried Galen and got out of the car. Then he held out a hand to support Lily and said
unhappily, "Of course he is. He’s after something of ours."
"Aren't business deals supposed to benefit both sides?” Lily said lowly.
Over the last six months, Mike Corden had frequented their house, seemingly spending most of his
time in the country. Although the core of his business was still based overseas, he had spent more time
in Hyderland.
Alexander even suspected Mike was gradually moving his business back to the country. Alexander
slowly let down his guard when the man showed no signs of doing so except forming a long-term
partnership with Lily's studio by giving her a large order. Besides, since Galen was born, he enjoyed
Nick Corden's company and played with him whenever he came, and the two families became closer.
Alexander lowered his gaze to Lily's slightly bulging tummy. " You know I wasn't talking about that.”
Lily found Alexander amusing yet ridiculous, so she palmed her belly and shot him a look.
Alexander was about to respond when Mike's voice sounded from behind him. "Aren't you being
protective of your daughter a bit too prematurely? She's not even born yet!"
"Yet you keep thinking of her knowing so!" Alexander turned and glared at Mike.
It all started when Mike jokingly proposed a marriage between the two families after having a few
drinks.
Not taking it seriously, Alexander laughingly said he was drunk as both of them only had sons.
However, Mike pointed casually at Lily, who was drinking tea aside, and said the marriage could be
possible if one of the twins she was carrying were a girl.
It was a joke, but Alexander grew stern then.
‘How could I marry off my precious daughter just because of some joke? 1
Mike had not thought such an established business person would get upset by a simple joke for so
long.
"Can't I even think of her?” Mike thought his family and son were a good match for the Russell family.
"No, you can’t!" Alexander held his son while holding Lily's hand tightly and strode past Mike without
glancing at him. He was starting to wonder if he should stop interacting with this man lest the thief
would kidnap his adorable and precious daughter. Lily was speechless.
‘They're both influential men in the business world, yet they're fussing over a child without knowing its
gender. How childish can they be?!’
After the trio entered the house, Lily realized Nick was not around. She thought the boy was playing
inside.
"Nick? Nick!"
Galen spread his arms, squirmed, and climbed off Alexander. He moved his little legs and went all over
the house, looking for Nick.
"Where's Nicky?" Lily asked curiously.
"I didn't bring him with me," Mike said casually, "School is about to start, and he has a lot of homework.
I can't let him play around too much."
"You're right." Alexander took a hot towel from the housekeeper and tested its temperature before
wiping Lily's hands with it. Then he snorted, "The world has become so competitive. It doesn't hurt for
boys to work harder.”
Nodding slightly, Mike thought of something. "Are you saying you'll give Nick a chance if he works
hard?”
