Chapter 1223
The following day, Alexander got out of bed to wash up, then went downstairs to have breakfast. After seeing Galen, he returned to
the bedroom and found Lily still in deep slumber.
He called her twice, but she barely opened her eyes and grunted before turning over and getting back to sleep.
Alexander noticed how tired she was and felt a bit sorry. ‘Have | overindulged myself and made her that exhausted?’
He tucked her in and said softly, "Don’t you have to attend a conference tonight? If you're too tired, then don't go.”
He thought she was sleeping, but her lips moved while her eyes remained closed. "No, this a symposium held by the Medicinal

Alexander did not expect Lily's mind to be so clear, even though she looked like she was sleeping soundly. He smiled. "How about |

After all, any of his cars were conspicuous, and one could tell from the family's unique license plate numbers who they belonged to.
Alexander wanted to say something, but she wrapped herself under the blanket and waved him off. "Don't you have a meeting at 8

her precious son. Galen got along well with the newly hired nanny.
As first-tparents, Lily and Alexander would not be able to give the best care to their son even if they were willing to look after
him themselves. Furthermore, as they were both tied up with their careers, it was imperative to hire a professional nanny.
After going through about ten nannies, the couple thought the current one was most appropriate regarding background, age, and

"My husband and | will return later than usual tonight. If you need anything, just call me," Lily told the nanny while playing with
Galen.
"Okay. Don't worry. I'll take good care of Galen."
The symposium would occur at 6:30 pm at the atrium ballroom. Lily wanted to choose a befitting dress but could not find anything
suitable.
Lily had bought most of her clothes before she was pregnant, and although she bought slooser and more comfortable ones
after she got pregnant, she could not find one suitable for the occasion.
‘I might as well go out and buy one.’
The Galleria was known for trendy merchandise. One could find furniture, clothing, accessories, and just about everything else.
