StarNovelChapter 446 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLily 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 sthought. 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 she was not used to it. It was just that it had been a long tsince she last cback. Thus, it took sadjusting.
When a person was comfortable for so long, they would not want to return to suffering times. “If you can get used to it, | will have no trouble doing so.” Alexander had more to say, but Lily raised her hand to hush him, her eyes looking diagonally forward.
After being stunned for a while, Alexander followed her line of sight and faintly saw a person.
The Lodge family courtyard was full of trees and plants. Diagonally across was a grove of fruit trees, which a thick layer of snow had settled. Somebody was among the trees, but the person's face was not visible.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You know that person?” Alexander could not see the person clearly, but based on Lily‘s reaction, it was somebody she knew. It was nothing out of the ordinary meeting someone familiar or an old friend in her family’s courtyard, so Alexander did not think much of it.
Still, Lily said, “I think it's someone | want to meet. Wait here.” Waving her hand, she headed toward the person. She did not call out names as she walked over and was careful with her movements. It was as if she was worried about frightening the person.
Alexander had never seen Lily this way. He frowned and followed after her. It was impossible to be completely silent when walking on snow, especially when there were two people. Following the noise, the person immediately becalert and turned around.
“Is that really you?!” Lily called out gleefully as she clapped her hands when she saw the person's face.
The person was surprised. “You...” “Haha. | was wondering where you were. Fancy running into you here,” Lily said as she ran toward him.
The person was speechless, and Alexander was too.
‘What was going on? “Why are you here?” the person asked, curious. He did not expect to meet Lily here. “I should be asking you that!”
