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 I 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

Alexander did not expect Lily's mind to be so clear, even though she looked like she was sleeping
soundly. He smiled. "How about I get someone to send you over?"
"No, I'll just take a cab. There are going to be a lot of old and pedantic men over there. I don't want to
draw unnecessary attention."
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 am? Just go and don't mind me. Bye!"
Lily nearly hit his face as she swung her arms around.
Alexander smiled wryly. 'Since she could remember my meeting, she’s not that tired then. Well, it's just
a gathering of the industry players within the
small circle. If she wants to go, so be it.’
He leaned over and kissed her forehead before leaving.
Lily only woke up until nearly noon. She felt recharged but sore to the bones. She rubbed her shoulder,
washed up, and went to see her precious son. Galen got along well with the newly hired nanny.
As first-time parents, 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 experience. It was clear Galen was well taken care of as he was
happily grinning when the nanny entered the room.

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 some looser
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.
