Chapter 816


    She wanted him to keep guessing.


    Taking a towel, Alexander walked over and wiped her sweat off.


    "Take a break and have some tea."


    "Okay."


    Wiping the sweat off her face, she moved to the shaded area under the perg, where she felt soothed


    after taking a few sips of tea.


    "This weekend..."


    It was rare that Alexander would hesitate while talking to her.


    "Yes?"


    She raised her eyebrows and looked curiously at him.


    "This weekend, I''d like you to go somewhere with me."


    Judging from his look of distaste, it must be a ce that Alexander had to go to despite himself.Lily


    guessed there could only be one such ce.


    "Go to the Russell family’s old house with you?"


    "You knew?"


    Surprised, he felt more rxed now that she had said it aloud.


    "Yes, it won’t take too long, but we must go." Lily thought for a moment.


    "Your youngest uncle is getting engaged?"


    Alexander snorted, seemingly disapproving of the way she addressed the man.


    "We''ll just be making our appearances.Anyway, you should brace yourself because this is not a good

    growing up was not easy for him and that there had been conspiracies and backstabbing, but he had


    never given her the specifics.


    ording to his expression and her memory of meeting his grandmother and youngest aunt at the


    diamond store, she surmised that the Russell family''s predicament might be much worse than the


    Lodge family''s.


    "I’m not afraid.It’s not that I’ve never met any mean people before," she chuckled, unconcerned.


    "Have you forgotten that I’m from the Lodge family and that I know how to


    fight?"n.o.v.e.l.b.o.o.k.c.o.mShe raised her fist to show that she could, and Alexander chuckled and


    held her wrist lovingly.


    "Yes, my woman is the greatest fighter!" She blushed when Alexander called her his woman.


    "I’m sweating all over.Let me take a shower."


    Alexander let go of her hand and gazed after her as she returned to the house.There were traces of


    worry in his eyes.


    Although Alexander had never seen her fight, he could guess she could fight well.


    However, even though the Lodge family was descended from generations of kickboxers, they blended


    in with outsiders for many years.


    No one knew how good they werepared to those with basic kickboxing training.


    However, Ralph Russell''s fiancee was from the Riggs family, and they were the real deal when it came


    to kickboxers!
