Chapter 610
Since then, Justin had been the one managing the Lodge family. Now that Alexander was asking in
such a manner, could it be that… there were changes in the management of the Lodge family?
The flight would take about two hours to land in Brown City. Alexander took a throw blanket. and
covered Lily with it. The sight of her bloodshot eyes pained him. “Don’t overthink it. Everything has
already happened, so you should take good care of yourself first, no matter how upset you are. There
are still many things that you need to face and settle.”
Lily understood the principles, but it was hard for her to control the agony she was feeling within. Ever
since her parents passed away, she had lived with her grandfather at the Lodge. family’s residence.
When she was younger, she had always felt that her grandfather was a bad man. Other people’s
grandfathers were kind and would often buy snacks for their grandchildren or pretty clothes for their
granddaughters, but she never had any of those.
Other than going to school, her life revolved around endless kickboxing lessons. Her training clothes
would change one after another due to tear and wear, and her diet was strictly controlled. Initially, she
would throw a tantrum to show her objection but later realized that it was useless and stopped doing
so.
Gradually, her kickboxing skills became better as she grew older. Still, her grandfather did not become
lenient but became even stricter instead.
After her parents passed away, she never had the life a little girl should have. There were countless
times when she would cry while hugging her mother’s clothes and when she wanted. to run away from
home. No matter how many times she tried to escape, she was always. brought back within a short
time, and even harsher penalties awaited her.
Later, she dated Nathaniel because she wanted to leave the Lodge family’s supervision and leave the
place, which made her feel unhappy.
It might be because of Nathaniel that she matured faster. She knew that some things that made her
angry ended up helping her in the long run, while others that seemed nice at the time would end up
being a dagger that stabbed her in the back later.
Her grandfather might have been strict, but he cared about her and always gave her his support
whenever she needed it. However, she had lost him forever!
Many things flashed across her mind, from when she was young to recent incidents. The memories
were playing in her head like a movie, and she fell asleep in the process, perhaps because she was
exhausted.
Alexander lowered his head to look at Lily. Her eyes were closed, but her brows her tightly. knitted
together. Even the hands that she placed on her stomach were clenched into fists.
He gently picked up one of her hands and wrapped his palm around it, using his warmth to warm her
hand up. His other hand was smoothening her brows.
He had a feeling that this trip to the Lodge family’s residence may not turn out to be peaceful. It would
be a storm, but it was hard to tell the magnitude yet. Nevertheless, he would protect her from anything!
Meanwhile, in Ruby city, a car was heading for the suburbs. With a heavy expression, Eloise asked,
“Ari, where are you taking me?”
“An interesting place,” Arianna said mysteriously.
“I’m not in the mood for any sightseeing right now! Let’s go back!” Eloise’s brows were furrowed, and
she was frustrated.
That was all because Joseph had brought his illegitimate son home. Although Eloise was upset, she
could not express her true feelings. The worse thing for her was that the boy was great at putting on a
show. He would be respectful toward Eloise when Joseph was around and ignored. her completely
when it was just the two of them.
Arianna was kind and brought Eloise out to relax, but she was not in the mood for that!
