Chapter 1763


    Without waiting for Olivia to answer, Lily quickly added, “I don’t even remember what you said.”


    “Lily…”


    “Enough. If you take me as a friend, stop ming yourself, okay? If I were you, I would be upset as


    well. What you did was normal, and I bet you felt sad when you said those things.” Lily could


    understand how she felt. She would surely side with her husband if she chose between Alexander and


    Edward.


    Olivia felt she needed to apologize since she and Lily were friends. Olivia would side with who was


    most important to her if she had to choose.


    “But…”


    Lily grabbed Olivia’s hand. Then Lily cleared her throat and said thoughtfully, “No buts, okay? Stop


    dwelling on it. I know you were in a tight spot. We’re not just partners but also good friends!”


    Lily smiled at Olivia and appeared casual before continuing, “Since we’re friends, we shouldn’t get


    hung up on this. I don’t, so you shouldn’t, too, okay?”


    Since she had put it that way, Olivia knew she would be too petty if she did not let it go. She smiled and

    held Lily’s hands while nodding.


    Lily repeatedly told Olivia not to tell anyone about the experiment as she saw her friend off. Since


    Edward was involved, Olivia understood the importance of keeping it a secret.


    After that, Lily put the cushion behind her waist andy on the sofa to rx. Suddenly, she heard


    movements upstairs and looked over. Galen stood at the bend at the staircase and gazed down at her


    but did not continue his descent.


    Lily’s smile beckoned him, then sat up and spread her arms.


    Galen seemed somewhat hesitant, but since Lily kept her arms outstretched to get up, he stepped


    downstairs while holding the railing. Galen climbed the sofa and snuggled up to his mother before


    looking at her. However, he did not chatter incessantly as he usually would.


    Lily sensed something was off and held his head into her chest. Then she asked gently, “What’s


    wrong?”


    “Mommy, have I been a naughty boy?” Galen muttered softly in her embrace.


    His voice was soft, but Lily heard it. Puzzled, she looked down at him. “Of course not. You’re a good


    boy!”


    “But you said my younger siblings are not as naughty as me.” His voice sounded muffled since he was


    facing her tummy.


    Lily was surprised.


    ‘He must’ve overheard my conversation with Olivia, huh?’


    Lily felt terrible for being careless. She held his face, kissed his forehead, then said, “You got it wrong.


    Mommy doesn’t think you’re naughty, and Mommy loves you because you’re a good boy, okay?”


    “But you said I was naughty!” Galen looked pitiful and pouted with his eyes red-rimmed.


    At this juncture, Lily seemed to have neglected how her child felt. She had not spent enough time with


    him because she had been busy with many things over thest few months. When she finally took


    Galen home, he overheard her conversation with Olivia about him being mischievous.
