His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 452

Today, Alexander experienced it first–hand.

After taking a few bites absentmindedly, Lily put down her silverware and said, “I‘m going to see

Grandpa.”

“Okay,” Justin lightly answered as he lowered his gaze.

Perhaps this was how the Lodge family interacted, but Alexander found it strange as a bystander.

The Lodge family seemed indifferent on the surface. Even after not seeing each other for years, they

showed no enthusiasm when they met. It was as if it did not matter whether or not Lily showed up.

However, they were very meticulous and thoughtful.

Although there was no heater in the room, they had prepared thick bedding alongside hot water bags.

These things were placed quietly on the comforter without any explanation.

Another example was how the housekeepers had prepared an extra sandwich alongside glasses of

milk just because they had a light breakfast of porridge and eggs. Alexander could tell they did not Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

prepare a large portion, so it was apparent that the Lodge family had specially arranged it for Lily and

him.

Meanwhile, Edward planned to stay at the nearest hotel after dropping them off and picking them up

once they were done. However, Alexander later received a message from Edward that the Lodge

family had prepared a place for him to stay.

The Lodge family were, in fact, very caring of others, albeit barely speaking to each other while always

putting up a cold and indifferent front.

It was the exact opposite of the Russell family. On the surface, the Russell family would always be

ecstatic, as if there were nothing but love among them. However, there were things they did in private

that would never see the light of day. If Alexander had a choice, he would rather be with a family like

the Lodges, who had cold fronts but warm hearts. They were easier to get along with, he thought.

With that, Alexander stared at Justin thoughtfully. Then Justin looked up, and their eyes met. After a

moment, Alexander smiled.

As Lily headed upstairs, she was about to knock on the door before she changed her mind. Instead,

she grabbed the handle and pushed open the door with a twist.

For years, Wilfred had slept without locking the door. Lily was unsure whether he would be awake or

asleep at the moment, so she carefully poked her head in to look.

“Lily, is that you?”

Lily immediately paused in her step before she nodded and answered with a hoarse voice, “Grandpa,

you‘re awake.”

Then she opened the door and walked in as Wilfrend turned over before propping himself up and

leaning against his bed.

Lily quickly looked for a pillow for him to lean on comfortably and stood by his bedside.

That was how it had always been ever since she was young. She would stand before her grandfather

as they talked, which somehow grew into her habit.

However, this time, Wilfred glanced at her and gestured, motioning her to sit. “Sit down; let me have a

good look at you.” His voice was not as strong as before. Regardless of how much he was in denial of

his age, the tell–tale signs were everywhere.

As Lily sat beside the bed, she carefully studied Wilfred‘s face. His skin had countless age spots, and

his eyes were not as clear and sharp as before. His brows were slightly wrinkled, with two prominent

eye bags indicating his lack of sleep. “Grandpa, do you have insomnia?” Lily asked softly.
