Chapter 1216
Olivia laughingly took Galen into her arms. "You said the same thing last time, and then what
happened? You couldn't bear to leave him at home. Anyway, I think our Galen is obedient enough. Oh,
yes, didn't Mr. Russell want to teach him some stuff personally? Where's he?"
"Well, Galen nearly crawled into the paper shredder when his father took him to the office, and Alex
was so terrified that he stopped taking him there. I guess we'll have to wait till Galen grows older." Lily
shook her head.
Having missed out on many things in their lives, Lily and Alexander had named their son "Galen,"
which meant "calm" in Greek, hoping he could slow down and calmly enjoy life, unlike them.
However, the boy had always been restless and kept getting into mischief to the point that they

Oliva put everything in order, looked outside, and noticed that her ride had arrived. "I'm leaving. What's
wrong with Mr. Perfect? He's usually early. Why isn't he here yet this time?"
Lily chuckled. "He has something to do, and he'll be here a bit late. You can go home first."
"Can you handle things alone?" Olivia looked at the squirming child in her arms and asked, concerned.
"Absolutely!" Lily gestured okay and said, "I know today is your anniversary. Just go and stop worrying
about me!"
After seeing Olivia off, Lily brought her son to the yard outside and seated him on the swing. Since it
was autumn and breezy, flower scents permeated the air, making the place more pleasant.
Not long later, they heard the sound of a car arriving and saw Alexander stride in from outside.
"Daddy, Daddy!" Galen spread his arms and trotted over with a happy grin.
Alexander held his son up over his head, making him giggle.
"Is it just you, honey? Where's grandma?" Lily looked outside, but there was no one else.
"She said it's the harvest season, so she’s not coming back. She’ll return to visit Galen after harvesting
the fruits."
Alexander carried his son, nuzzled his cheeks, and the boy laughed non-stop, holding back his face.
"Grandma is quite enjoying her life, isn't she? She doesn't even miss urban life anymore."
When Margaret got slightly healthier, she moved to the mountains to stay and pray. As there were
many fruit trees, she would water and fertilize them whenever she was free. The fruit trees grew well
and bore many fruits this year.
Ralph also stayed in the mountains with his mother, seemingly leading a relatively quiet and reclusive
life.

Alexander nodded. "It's quiet there, unlike the bustling city. Over there, he doesn't need to worry about
people making fun of him and wouldn't feel embarrassed by his loss of status. Besides..." After a
pause, he continued, "He says he wants to repent his sins against Ms. Riggs."
"I heard Heather got a lot better." Lily nodded and spoke with conflicted feelings.
"Time sure flies. More than a year has passed since so much happened, and everyone seems to have
slowly moved on."
Alexander held his son up with one arm and wrapped the other around Lily's shoulder. "That's right."
'We must move forward, no matter what. Since we can't change the past, all we have is the present
and the future. Therefore, we head in the right direction in each step."
"Let's go home!" he said. "Don’t forget we're expecting company."
