However, on second thought, she figured it was not surprising to see him here. She had gathered what she wanted in a bag and was carrying the bulky container. She thought that since she was here, she should take as many as she could.
“What good stuff have you plundered this time?” Lifting his eyelids, Dominic asked. However, he did not seem to mind and had no intention of checking her bag.
“The ones you don’t appreciate, okay?” She answered and looked toward her son. “Galen, have you been naughty and bullied Grandpa?”
As if he had not heard her, the little boy did not answer and buried his head in a heap of snacks. “Hmm-hmm.”
He made the sound to show that he was having fun.
“No, no, he’s been a well-behaving boy!” Dominic said protectively of him, “There are food and drinks and things to play with here. Of course he’s on his best behavior!”
“Really?” Doubtful, Lily curled her lips. “Then how about we come tomorrow again?”
“Well…” Dominic gave an awkward look.
‘I knew it. My son is mischievous and forever restless. It’s good enough if he’s not wreaking havoc around here, but to expect him to be well-behaved? The could hardly be associated with him.’
Still, Dominic was protective of the boy. Being both scared and fond of him, the older man had conflicting feelings.
Seeing them bantering in such a casual way, Austin was jealous.
