Chapter 1419


    "His allowance won’t be enough to pay for the teapots.Why don’t you just use it to buy toys for him?"


    Dominic could not help but speak on the little boy’s behalf.


    Lily nodded.


    "You''re right.Then I''ll deduct his allowance for two years."


    Galen pursed his lips and wanted to cry again.


    He had epted that his mother would deduct his allowance for a year, but after Dominic tried to


    defend him, it became two years instead.


    "B-But..."


    Dominic was at a loss and dared not help Galen again, so he faked a coughing fit.His gaze wandered


    toward the open showcase as he tried to devise a random excuse.

    "It’s not entirely his fault! I didn’t lock the showcase properly.Even if he didn’t break the teapots, the


    thieves might have stolen them!"


    Then he raised his voice and scolded, "Look what you’ve done! Didn’t I tell you guys to keep the


    showcases and cabs locked? Couldn’t you do such a simple thing? Do you still want this month’s


    sry? Do you still want your jobs?"


    The maid tidying up the ce answered hurriedly, "Sir, we did lock the showcase.I checked."


    The maid felt wronged as Dominic had reprimanded her for something she had done well.


    "Nonsense! Why would it be open if you locked it? Are you telling me a toddler can unlock it?" he


    scolded.


    "Well..."


    The maids only knew they had locked the showcase.


    ‘‘Who knows how he opened it?’ Dominic’s question reminded Lily of it.She walked over to the


    showcase and carefully examined the lock.It was a simple and the mostmon hasp lock.However, if


    one had properly locked it, it would be challenging for a child of more than a year old to open it.


    Even if Galen had a key, he would not know how to use it.


    After studying it carefully, she gave her son a thoughtful look over her shoulder.


    After getting scolded, the sad boy was unnerved by his mother’s gaze and subconsciously took two


    steps back.


    "Galen,e here!" Lily called her son and beckoned.


    Galen did not know what was in store for him, so he hesitated whether to go forward.


    From his reasoning, it was most likely a bad thing.


    He pouted and looked over his shoulder toward Dominic with a pleading expression.


    Dominic’s heart melted when he saw the little boy’s teary eyes and hurriedly said, "Never mind.Perhaps


    the maid didn’t do a good job and misremembered it.Don’t put your child on the spot."


    The maid was speechless.


    "I’m not putting him on the spot.I’m just trying to get to the bottom of what happened."


    Lily beckoned again, "Galen, don’t make me repeat myself."


    The child was scared but mustered his courage and jogged over.


    "Mommy..."


    He wrapped his arms around his mother’s legs, hoping she would not scold him again.


    "Did you open this???"


    Lily pointed at the lock on the showcase.


    Galen looked up, narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, and nodded.


    "Really? Really???I don’t buy it!"


    Lily crossed her arms and looked at him doubtfully.


    "This was locked.Even I can''t even open it without a key.How did you do it without one?"
