Chapter 1251
Alexander had been busy with work recently and felt terrible about it because he did not accompany
Lily that much. After all, she was pregnant, and he felt he should stay by her side more often.
However, he had no choice this time around as it did not only involve his company but something else
much more important. Today, he came home slightly earlier, a rare occasion, but he did not see the
woman he had been missing.
"Where's Lily?"
After washing his hands, he went to pick Galen up. ‘He seems to have gained weight again.’
"Mrs. Russell went out early in the morning and hasn’t returned yet," Daisy replied.
Hearing that made Alexander frown. He carried Galen with one hand and used the other to make a call.
He vaguely remembered Lily telling him that she needed to visit the institute, so he wondered if she

The call went unanswered, which was a usual thing. When Lily conducted her experiments, she would
not pick up any calls, and her phone would also be silent. Hence, Alexander just sat on the couch to
play with Galen, trying to make the little boy call him. "Who am I?"
The little boy stared back at Alexander with his big, round eyes as he patted Alexander’s cheeks before
calling out with a bright smile. "Mama!’’
Alexander was speechless. "No, that’s wrong. It's papa!"
"Mama! Mama!" Galen chuckled, clapping his hands.
"No, mama isn’t back yet. Call me papa!" Alexander put on a straight face and tried to make his son
call him his father.
'How dare this brat go against me at such a young age?’
"Mama! Mama! Hahaha!”
Alexander just frowned. He had never been so frustrated in his entire life. His words and orders were
absolute, whether in the business world or the Russell family, so he never expected to lose to a baby
boy today. Still, the boy was his son, so Alexander could not get mad at him.
"Bad boy." He flipped Galen over and patted lightly on his butt. Of course, he would not bear to hit him
for real.
However, that made the little boy open his mouth and cry.
"It’s not even painful. Why are you crying?” Alexander was speechless and carried Galen to coax him.
At the same time, he heard Lily’s voice behind his back. "Hey, what happened to my baby?”
"Oh, you're back!" Alexander turned and saw Lily, his lips curving into a smile without realizing it.
"M-Mama...” Galen cried his heart out as if his father had bullied him terribly. Hence, Lily took him from
Alexander’s arms and lowered her head to ask softly, "What's wrong, my baby boy?"
Before Alexander could say anything, he saw Galen directly pointing his tiny finger at him. "Papa hit
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmme!"
Alexander wanted to scream at that moment. 'That brat! He didn't call me papa even after I taught him
for so long earlier but look at him now. He can even make a sentence with it!'
"No, it wasn't me! I didn't!" When he saw Lily’s surprised gaze, he explained himself right away. Lily
was not very surprised about Alexander hitting Galen because he was their son. She was shocked by
how Galen could now speak clearly, so she tried to ask again. "Who?”
Galen pouted and pointed at Alexander again. "Papa!"
Alexander was speechless. 'That sounded so smooth!'
"Where did he hit you?" Lily suppressed her laughter and asked, finding it hilarious when she saw
Alexander's expression.
The little boy hesitated, probably trying to understand what Lily said. After a moment, he pointed to his
butt. "Umm..."
He did not know what the word was yet, but he could already give Lily an answer to her question.
