His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1413

Lily was also baffled, and even Galen, playing by himself, looked up questioningly.

“Granduncle, you’ve always refused to tell me or publicly announce who your secret apprentice is.” Austin curled his lips into a mysterious smile and peered at Lily. “It’s Alexander, isn’t it?”

Lily and Dominic were perplexed. They exchanged looks and communicated without words again.

‘He’s so dumb. Is he truly your grandnephew?’

‘He’s not my family, and I don’t know him, okay?’

Austin felt frustrated to see the two communicating through expressions. It was as if there was a wall between them and him, and he could not be a part of them no matter how hard he tried. He could not understand why they were shrugging, shaking their heads, blinking their eyes, or sighing.

“Granduncle, I know you don’t wish to announce it publicly because Alexander is someone special, and he wants to keep it a secret, but you don’t have to hide it from me. I guarantee that I won’t reveal it to anyone!” Austin held up his hand and swore earnestly.

“Hmm…” Dominic hesitated.

Lily was the first to respond, “Yes, we don’t wish to let too many people know about this. Since you know now, I hope you can keep it a secret and not tell anyone.”

Dominic was bemused, while Austin was pleased to see her acknowledging he was right because he had finally uncovered the secret.
