Semua Bab Spoiled by Mr. Russell: Bab 441 - Bab 450

Although Wilfred’s voice was grand, his expression was peaceful.Alexander was stunned. He looked at Lily, had a realization, and immediately said, “You’re right.”He retracted his hand, took a bow, and said respectfully, “As your grandson-in-law, I wish you great fortune and a long life.”“G-Grandson-in-law?” The old man of the Lodge family was stunned and he widened his eyes. Were the young people nowadays so wanton in their actions?One moment it was Mr. Lodge, and the next he declared himself the grandson-in-law.“The Lodge family does not recognize you yet.” The usually steady Justin was not able to contain himself.Wilfred had seen a lot in life. He raised a hand to calm Justin down, then said dryly, “Alexander, you are of the older generation. It’s reasonable for you to address me the way Lily does, but to call yourself my grandson-in-law… that’s premature, isn’t it?”As a whole, they had not recognized the relationship between the two yet. Thus they would not recognize A

“That’s right. I’ll miss you.” Lily was not shy. She boldly put both arms around his neck and said, “What if you miss me?”“No matter what, there’s always a solution,” he laughed lightly, then bent forward to peck her on the lips. “Look in your room.”It was the room she always had at the Lodge family residence. Lily pushed the door open and was instantly touched.Her room was maintained the way she had left it. The things inside were untouched, but the room was clean. It was obvious that the room was cleaned frequently while the items were undisturbed.The only difference was that the beddings were new. They seemed to have been dried under the sun and looked very comfortable.However, there was no heater in the house. Alexander noticed that there was no air-conditioning either. The space felt stuffy."There’s no air-conditioning in the room?" He walked another round to ensure that he had not missed something. True enough, there was no cooling system.When he said this, Lily rem

Now, the thick snow covered Lily’s memories of this place, perhaps because she could depend on the person next to her. It was as if the courtyard was not the one she once knew, even though it was the same.“Are you feeling cold? Do you want to go back?” Alexander held Lily’s shoulders, worried she would feel cold.Lily smiled. “It’s not going to be much warmer when we go back. If we run around here, it won’t be as cold.”That was the truth since their room was chilly. Especially now that there was nobody around, it would feel even colder.“If you’re uncomfortable, we don’t have to stay here tonight. Let’s go home,” Alexander suggested after some thought. It was hard to imagine how Lily survived all this for many years.Alexander had interacted with the Lodge family a few times through business, but nothing extensive. He did not know they had such old-fashioned thinking.“I grew up like this, so it is no big deal. I’m worried that you’re not used to it instead.” It was not that sh

Derrick’s eyes were like laser beams scanning her from head to toe coldly. His eyes contained no warmth as if to express displeasure at her behavior. The moment he looked at her, Lily felt a shiver down her spine, but then she realized she did not need to fear him as he was just a nobody to her. After adjusting her perspective, she felt better and stood erect, holding his gaze firmly.     Derrick was surprised that this young woman had such courage in her and was not intimidated by his stare. He frowned and was about to open his mouth to speak when someone interrupted them.“Mr. Tanner,” Alexander, who was watching the whole ordeal from not too far away, decided to step in. He came over and stopped to stand next to Lily. Derrick was surprised to see Alexander, “Alexander Russell?”    “I didn’t see you inside, so I assumed you had sent someone else to attend on your behalf. I didn’t expect to see you here,” Alexander spoke eloquently without offending anyone.“I was running late

Lily extended her palm toward Benedict and continued asking, “Where’s my wood?” Benedict was speechless at her stubbornness. “I don’t have it anymore. I’ve used all of them,” he said simply. Lily could tell that he was lying from his reaction, “I don’t care! You’ve made a promise, and since you finished using them, you can start from scratch and plant them. Everyone should honor their promises, even if you’re a kid!”     Lily was so serious about her wood that Benedict could not convince her to let it go, so he looked at Alexander for help, “Why aren't you even trying to stop her?” Alexander just shrugged nonchalantly.     Realizing he was on his own, Benedict said helplessly, “Why are you so obsessed with that piece of wood? You wanted me to make a birthday gift for you, so I did. Why are you still so determined to get that piece of wood back?”Lily would not mind explaining to him why she was so fixated on it, but Benedict’s attitude was awful, so Lily just said, “It’s non
