Chapter 1410
Dominic carried Galen into the house, and when he turned around, he noticed that Austin had followed
behind them. Suddenly, he glared at the young man. "Why did you come..."
Before he could finish roaring, his cheeks were pushed upward, and he could only let out a funny smile.
Frowning, he pursed his lips at Austin, motioning for the latter to move aside as he sat down with
Galen. He loosened his grip and asked, "What about you go inside and play with your toys?”
Galen shook his head fervently at the sound of that, rendering Dominic speechless.
'Then you can't hold onto my beard all the time. You pulled off so many, and you won't have any to play
with in the future anymore." Dominic coaxed patiently, "Plus, your mommy will spank your butt if she
knows about this!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe last part of the sentence probably sounded scarier to Galen because a hint of hesitation flashed
across his eyes upon hearing that. Finally, he released his grip and went back to his playing area.
"Phew..." Dominic breathed out a sigh of relief as if he had just come back from war. He picked up the
teacup before him and blew on it habitually, but he realized that his tea was already cold by now. Then
he poured it into the bucket at his side as he started to boil water to make himself a new pot of tea.
"Granduncle, let me do it!" Austin tried to help, finally finding the chance to do something for the old
man. Perhaps because Dominic was already exhausted, he did not have the energy to get mad now
and allowed Austin to be. He released his grip on the kettle, and Austin quickly took over, washing the
pot and boiling the water before he made a new pot of tea for Dominic. He seemed to be happy while
doing all that.
While at work, he glanced at Galen from time to time through his peripheral vision, finding him familiar.
He knew a few kids and did not have a close relationship with many people due to his personality. As
he did not even have a girlfriend now, there was no way he could have kids of his own. To him, kids
were a burden, and it was best to stay away from them.
Hence, he should have seen the kid somewhere to find him familiar, right? Or that all the kids looked
the same, which was why he felt he had seen this kid before?
Deep in thought, he suddenly heard Dominic roar, "What in the world are you doing?"
When he returned to his senses, he realized the cup was full because he had overfilled it. He was so
distracted that he did not realize it.
"Granduncle, I'm sorry! I got distracted!" Austin quickly apologized and grabbed the tablecloth to clean
up the mess.
Dominic snatched the teapot from his hand right away." Move aside! You can't even do one thing right!

dumb, ugh! You became distracted? Lord, tell me what you can do right in your life!"
After getting reprimanded, Austin felt aggrieved. It was just a small matter, and he did not understand
why Dominic had to overreact.
He glanced to the side and found Galen staring back at him. It seemed that the little boy had witnessed
his embarrassing moment from earlier. He opened his mouth and grinned, revealing his two teeth.
Austin had a feeling that a little boy just mocked him. The boy had a smile that he was familiar with,
and Austin felt that he had been mocked by such a smile many times before.
A familiar face flashed across his mind. Suddenly, he remembered that he had indeed seen this kid
before. It was during that time that he visited Lily's place with Maria.
Back then, he did not pay too much attention to his surroundings as there was bad blood between him
and Lily. Plus, he was there to check on Anastasia's illness. At the time, a kid was there, but Austin had
simply glanced at him. In retrospect, this little boy looked like the kid he saw back then.
