Chapter 1409
'What did he say earlier? Did he say I was dirty? Which part of me was dirty? I would wipe my shoes
clean every time before leaving the house! I did not even say anything about this brat wrinkling my
clothes!’
Austin was suffering from tremendous shock and stood in his spot, stupefied. Seeing the older man
and the little boy being friendly, he felt like an outsider.
Finally, he returned to his senses and asked in a hoarse voice, "Granduncle, this kid is..."
"What the h*ll are you guys doing?" Dominic suddenly rebuked Austin, shocking him again. "All of you
can't even take care of one little boy! You've taken so long to search for him in this small place! What's
the point of me hiring you guys?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe servants just stayed silent in the face of Dominic’s rebuke.
"What are you guys still standing here for? Get back to work! Oh, right. Get the chef to prepare
something the little boy likes to eat. Move fast!" Dominic nagged and was back to being the ill-
tempered man he usually appeared to be.
Austin was used to this side of Dominic, but someone else was not. Galen, who was in Dominic's arms,
had his lips curled downward instantly. "Fierce..."
As he spoke, he pouted and pressed his hands on Dominic's cheeks, trying to push the corner of his
lips upward. Austin widened his eyes at the sight as if he had seen a monster of some sort.
However, Dominic did not get mad and cooperated with Galen gladly. He even softened his voice to
coax the little boy. "All right, my bad. I shouldn't have been so fierce. I’ll smile, okay? Hahaha..
Following Dominic’s laugh, Galen chuckled happily as well." Hahaha..."
Austin did not know what he should feel at this moment.
"Why the h*ll are you standing here like a fool?" At this moment, Dominic finally realized that Austin
was there.
Frowning, he asked impatiently, "Who allowed you to come in?"
Dominic vaguely remembered not giving Austin permission to enter his house. 'This punk comes here
too often! How annoying!'
"Granduncle, I have something important to ask you. I didn’t disturb your peace on purpose."
Austin was curious about Galen's family, seeing as Dominic adored the boy so much, but he was afraid
to ask a leading question for fear of being expelled once again. Hence, he decided to just keep those
questions to himself.
"What important matters can it be? You said the same thing the last time you visited. You're not doing
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanything serious with your life, are you? Don't you have anything better to do these days? Should I ask
your parents to send you abroad to further your studies or something?" Dominic questioned impatiently,
which was a total contrast to his kindness and patience when talking to Galen.
Austin had mixed feelings about it. 'Why do we get such different treatments when we're both from the
younger generation? Wait a minute, no. I'm related to him by blood, but where did this brat come from?’
"Granduncle, this kid..." Austin hesitated and swallowed his words again as a terrifying thought formed
in his head. 'This kid can't be his illegitimate child or something, can he?'
The thought left as fast as it came, as Austin denied that possibility. 'No! That can't be! Granduncle is
so old now and hasn't left this place for so many years. Judging from this brat's age, he should be
about one to two years old. How could he be his great-granduncle's illegitimate son? Wait, or is he
granduncle's illegitimate grandson?'
While Austin was having all sorts of thoughts in his mind, Dominic had already brought Galen into the
house. After standing and pondering for a moment, Austin decided to be shameless and followed suit.
