His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1418

Since he had said so, Lily could not punish Galen in his presence. Pulling her face back, she gave her son a solemn look. “Are you sorry?”

The boy was young but knew what was right and wrong. Holding his head low, he peered nervously at his mother and pursed his lips quietly when she asked.

“We must all feel sorry for our mistakes. As a boy, don’t you even have the courage to admit that you’ve made one?” Lily continued, “Are you sorry?”

"Yes," he said softly but clearly enough.

Lily asked, “What did you say? I couldn’t hear you.”

“I’m sorry.” His voice was louder this time. Pouting, he looked pitiful, with shimmery tears welling up in his big eyes.

This was enough to make Dominic feel sorry for him and wave. “Okay, okay, you’ve said it enough. What does a little child know?”

“The fact that he’s young makes it all the more important to teach him what he should and shouldn’t do! Didn’t I tell you many times before not to touch the things in Grandpa’s house and not to climb up and down like a daredevil?” She said angrily, “You’re always so naughty, and you’ve even smashed Grandpa’s stuff this time. What do you think we should do?”

The boy was too young to know what to do. Stumped by her question, he peered at his mother, pouted, then burst out crying.

“It’s useless to cry! Can crying solve the problem?” She put him on the floor and bent over to look at him. “If you did a bad thing, you must be punished! Since you’ve broken the teapots, we’ll compensate grandpa with two new ones, okay?”

“Okay…” he answered sobbingly, knowing by now that he had done something terrible.
