Chapter 442


    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–inw, I wish you great


    fortune and a long life.”


    “G–Grandson–inw?” 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 dered himself the grandson–inw.


    “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–inw… that‘s premature, isn‘t it?” As a whole, they had not recognized the rtionship


    between the two yet. Thus they would not recognize Alexander as a rtion.


    Alexander nced at Lily. She was blinking, speechless. He could guess that she had not told her


    family about her rtionship with him yet, so he did not push. He said, “It‘s okay. I can wait. May it be


    sooner orter, I‘m here to stay.”


    Mr. Lodge was speechless.


    Justin was speechless. Lily was speechless as well, thinking of him as assertive. Wilfred decided that


    this topic was embarrassing. Furthermore, it was a sensitive topic, so he changed the subject, “I heard


    that La Beaute Group has expanded to more than ten countries recently?”


    “We are only dabbling,” Alexander answered humbly.


    They were far from dabbling. They had apany based in each country, and the market share in the


    countries was far from modest.


    La Beaute Group specialized in makeup. They had gotten involved in the movie and advertising


    industry and were dominant in the business. To have such arge market share overseas was very


    impressive.


    When it came to business, Justin respected Alexander a lot. They were the same age, but Justin was


    far behind in business. Furthermore, the Russell family used minimal manpower to expand and


    establish themselves as one of the four prominent families. They managed to prosper.


    However, that was a different topic altogether. Just because he was good at business did not mean he


    would make a good son inw. In the past, even someone unimpressive like Nathaniel was not serious


    about his rtionship. What more a person of Alexander‘s status? How serious he was about Lily was


    still yet to be seen.


    “I‘ve known your father for a long time but have not spoken to him in a while. How is he doing?”


    Lily was surprised to hear her grandfather say this. She never thought that her grandfather knew


    Alexander‘s father. She forgot she had never met his parents after being together so long. “He‘s in


    good health. He and my mother are traveling the world. I don‘t meet him very often.”


    After listening to his exnation, Lily understood. It was no wonder she had never met them. It turned


    out that they were visiting different countries. “Traveling the world is great.” Tapping his fingers against


    his wheelchair, Wilfred was thoughtful. “It‘s best to travel while you‘re young and have a strong body. If


    I tried to travel now, I wouldn‘t be able to.”


    While he stroked his leg, he sounded crestfallen. “If you wish to travel, it‘s possible. We could


    apany you,” Alexander said with a smile after he cast Lily a nce.


    His expressionforted Lily. It even felt like encouragement. She suddenly found the courage to walk


    over and grab Wilfred‘s hand. “Yes, Grandpa, if you wish to travel, we can go with you.” Wilfred was


    very touched when she grabbed his hand. He looked down at her hand on his with aplicated


    expression.
