“I've never told you about my family,” Lily said as she warmly took his hand and led him to the sofa.
Seeing how gentle she was, Alexander quickly quieted down and took her hand, nodding slightly. “Yes.” “I was born in Brown City,” she said slowly. “I'm from the Lodge family of Brown City.” “The Lodge family?” “Yeah.” Almost everyone knew who the Lodge family of Brown City was, just like everyone knew of the Russel family of Sapphine, the Tanner family of Ruby City, and the Richards from the capital. No matter how low key the Lodge family was, they were the only family known for their ancient kickboxing technique. Little was known about the Lodges than the other three families, giving them a mysterious vibe. The Lodge family had always kept a low profile. Hence, the public only knew the prominent figures of the family. Other than that, no one knew much about the children and other in-laws of the Lodge Family. This was why Alexander did not know that Lily was related to them. “Wilfred Lodge is my maternal grandfather. That's why | didn't inherit the Lodge surname,” she explained as she looked into his eyes. These were the words she had kept within her for so many years.
Although her surnwas not Lodge currently, she used to be known as Lily Lodge. At 18, she left the Lodge family and went off to college. Later, after she made jokes about working in the perfindustry and insisted on staying with Nathaniel, she and the Lodge family were on the verge of severing ties. Lily, too, wanted to leave them. She wanted to rid herself of the toxic environment that made her feel suffocated and depressed, so Nathaniel was not just her boyfriend. He was the lifeline that allowed her to leave the Lodge family.
The Lodge family did not reach out to her for the longest time. It was as if they had kicked her out of the household.
However, Lily knew that this was impossible! She would never be free of the Lodge family in this lifetime. After all, she still had their blood flowing in her veins.

Alexander was smart, and he quickly connected the dots. “So, this crane is for your grandfather?” Alexander knew Wilfred was about to celebrate his 70th birthday. Since he was a family friend to the Lodge family, Alexander had prepared a gift for Wilfred. However, Alexander did not expect his wife to be related to them.
“Yeah.” Lily turned to look at the crane before continuing, “Do you remember that pair of wooden dolls?” “The pair that made you want to birth twins?” He joked. Lily shot him a stern look and explained, “I wanted to ask the young man from the woodcarving shop to carve a meaningful sculpture as my grandfather's birthday gift. However, Benedict suddenly quit his job, and | couldn't find him after. | did not expect him to do the piece and send it to me.” “Benedict?” Although the main point of her explanation was that Benedict had suddenly disappeared and reappeared out of nowhere, Alexander seemed to only focus on the fact that it was a young man.
“Yes, he's very young. He's about my brother's age. That's it!” Lily said and rubbed his hair, trying to soothe his jealousy. This guy is possessive. How can he get jealous over just a few words? Does he think all the guys in this world are his rivals?‘
