Chapter 1417
At this moment, the supposedly locked showcase was open, and one of the teapots had fallen and
broken into pieces on the floor. The other one was still...
"My darling!" One could not tell if Dominic was referring to the teapot or the boy as he shouted in a
trembling voice. On tiptoe, he sped over.
"Here you go, Grandpa!"
Seemingly knowing what Dominic wanted, Galen reached out his hands to grab the teapot for Dominic
and lost his balance. His body swayed and fell backward.
"My darling!" The older man screamed again and quickly lunged forward to catch the boy as he fell.
At the same time, he heard another crash. He shut his eyes as if he could not face reality. His heart

"Don't be scared, Grandpa!" Galen patted his chest soothingly.
Dominic was speechless. He wanted to cry!
Lily came over at this moment and sighed. "I was trying to ask you whether those two teapots were
expensive."
'But he had to interrupt me and give a heroic speech.’
"What do you think?" Opening his eyes, he threw her a doleful and bitter look. "Then you should have
just told me! I thought you were talking about Austin."
"That's your family affairs. Who am I to say anything about it?" Lily sighed and opened her arms. "Hand
him over."
However, Dominic held him tight instead. "No! Don't think I don't know what you’re up to. If I hand him
over, you're going to punish him!"
Holding Galen, Dominic walked over to one side and sat down, looking away from the broken pieces on
the floor lest they upset him.
Even though he was upset, he could not bear to let the boy get punished.
"I have to. He wreaks havoc every time he comes here. You can’t just side with him," Lily said seriously.
"If things get broken, so be it! What if you injure him?" The boy's head nudged softly against his neck,
and he felt his heart had melted. He felt conflicted, indeed. He was upset, yet he doted on the boy so
much that he could not bear to scold him.
"I won't. I'm his mom, okay?" Lily rubbed her forehead helplessly. 'This old man is truly one of a kind.’
"Even a mom could make a mistake and kill her child by accident." He refused to let go of the boy and
wanted her to promise him that she would not punish him.

would know what he could and could not do.
When she saw what Galen was doing just now, it was already too late, and she decided to buy Dominic
two teapots of better quality to compensate him. However, she was curious how her son managed to
open the locked showcase.
"Okay, then let him stay at your place." She withdrew her hands. "Send him over when you decide to
do so."
Dominic was alarmed as she turned and pretended to leave. "No, no! You can have him!"
As he passed him over, the old man said, despite himself, "If you'd like to beat him, don't do it here. I
can't take it."
