Chapter 1217
When the couple and their son reached home, they saw the black Volkswagen Atlas parked within the compound and knew their
company had arrived.
"Mr. Corden is always on time, isn’t he?” Lily said with a chuckle when she saw the car.
Alexander carried Galen and got out of the car. Then he held out a hand to support Lily and said unhappily, "Of course he is. He's
after something of ours."
"Aren't business deals supposed to benefit both sides?” Lily said lowly.
Over the last six months, Mike Corden had frequented their house, seemingly spending most of his tin the country. Although
the core of his business was still based overseas, he had spent more tin Hyderland.

Alexander even suspected Mike was gradually moving his business back to the country. Alexander slowly let down his guard when
the man showed no signs of doing so except forming a long-term partnership with Lily's stuby giving her a large order. Besides,
since Galen was born, he enjoyed Nick Corden's company and played with him whenever he came, and the two families became
closer.
Alexander lowered his gaze to Lily's slightly bulging tummy. " You know | wasn't talking about that.”
Lily found Alexander amusing yet ridiculous, so she palmed her belly and shot him a look.
Alexander was about to respond when Mike's voice sounded from behind him. "Aren't you being protective of your daughter a bit
too prematurely? She's not even born yet!"
"Yet you keep thinking of her knowing so!" Alexander turned and glared at Mike.
It all started when Mike jokingly proposed a marriage between the two families after having a few drinks.
Not taking it seriously, Alexander laughingly said he was drunk as both of them only had sons. However, Mike pointed casually at
Lily, who was drinking tea aside, and said the marriage could be possible if one of the twins she was carrying were a girl.
It was a joke, but Alexander grew stern then.
‘How could | marry off my precious daughter just because of sjoke? 1
Mike had not thought such an established business person would get upset by a simple joke for so long.
"Can't | even think of her?” Mike thought his family and son were a good match for the Russell family.
"No, you can’t!" Alexander held his son while holding Lily's hand tightly and strode past Mike without glancing at him. He was
starting to wonder if he should stop interacting with this man lest the thief would kidnap his adorable and precious daughter. Lily
was speechless.
‘They're both influential men in the business world, yet they're fussing over a child without knowing its gender. How childish can

After the tentered the house, Lily realized Nick was not around. She thought the boy was playing inside.
"Nick? Nick!"
Galen spread his arms, squirmed, and climbed off Alexander. He moved his little legs and went all over the house, looking for Nick.
"Where's Nicky?" Lily asked curiously.
"I didn't bring him with me," Mike said casually, "School is about to start, and he has a lot of homework. | can't let him play around
too much."
"You're right." Alexander took a hot towel from the housekeeper and tested its temperature before wiping Lily's hands with it. Then
he snorted, "The world has becso competitive. It doesn't hurt for boys to work harder.”
Nodding slightly, Mike thought of something. "Are you saying you'll give Nick a chance if he works hard?”
