His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel 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 again.’

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.
