Chapter 1254
"You're twisting my words on purpose. You know that's not what I meant." Alexander leaned forward as
well until the tips of their noses met. "Galen will take over the Russell family in the future, so he needs
to be trained from a young age. You said we shouldn't pamper our children too much, didn't you?
Hmm?"
He rubbed the tip of his nose against hers and lowered his gaze to her lips. Her lips would part and
close again when she spoke, looking extremely seductive to him.
"Yeah. We can’t pamper him too much, but we shouldn't torture him. I still think it's too early for him to
start, and..." Lily paused and placed her hands on his shoulders, pushing him slightly further away.
"What if he's not interested in business and doesn't want to take over the family?"
'This man is always moving closer to me without my realizing it. When I look at his face, which is close
to perfection, I lose my ability to think. Also, he would talk about serious topics every time, which would
always end up with us locking lips with each other, then later... we would need to discuss the topic

Although Galen was only one year old, and it was too early to comment on his future career
development, they had to consider every possibility.
For instance, Benedict was not interested in business at all, and all he wanted was to focus on his
wooden carvings. Due to that, he had a long-standing conflict with his family.
Lily wished for Galen to succeed, but she did not want him to grow up with stress on the path she
paved for him.
"He's my eldest son, destined to take over the Russell family from the moment he was born! He's
destined to take over the company!" Alexander, who was suddenly pushed away, was dissatisfied. He
tried to get closer to Lily as he said," I'm sure he can do it."
"Being able to do it and his willingness to do it are two different things!" Lily's hands dropped from
Alexander's shoulders to his chest as she kept him away from her. "You told me you were stressed and
felt burdened since you were young. Do you want Galen to go through the same things that you did?
Do you want him to suffer so much?"
That made Alexander silent for a moment. Indeed, he had been carrying those burdens since a young
age and knew those were his responsibilities. Hence, he worked hard and learned everything as
though his life depended on it. The other kids had time to play, but that was not the case for him. Even
when he went on vacation, it was just a trip to learn about all the business alliances and how things
were done in the industry.
He had seen too much and had gone through many dangers and frame-ups. No one had ever asked
him what he wanted to do because his life had been set since the moment he came into this world.
As the heir to the Russell family, he would be the one to lead the Russell family in the future. Hugo had
high hopes for him back then, but Margaret had always tried to pull him down from that position.
'Was that really what you wanted?' It was his first time getting that question today, and he had no idea
how to reply.
"Okay then. I promise you I won't force our son to do things he doesn't want. When he's old enough to
make decisions for himself, I won't force him to take over the company if it's against his wishes."
Alexander raised his hand as a promise to her.

Alexander just smiled bitterly. "What do you think? I said that Galen should take over the company, but
you're worried he doesn't want to do it. I said I wouldn't force him to do it, and now you're concerned
about my business? What about 19
"What?"
"Let's have a few more children. I'm sure one of them will be capable enough and willing to accept this
responsibility.
What a perfect solution, don't you think?"
Finally, he found the chance to pull her into his embrace. When he hugged her, that was when he felt
the most content.
"I shouldn't have expected anything from you!" Lily hit his shoulder lightly, but she did not resist his
touch anymore. Slowly, she rubbed her belly. "I was overthinking, and there's still a long time until
Galen grows up. Perhaps he'd be willing to take over the family and the company. All of our arguments
and concerns would be pointless in that case."
"Why are you feeling so many things at once today? Didn't you go to the institute earlier? What
happened?" Alexander could tell Lily was worrying more than she usually would.
