When Alexander noticed the change in her face, he understood it might be a sensitive topic and immediately said, "If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to."
Lily was grateful for how considerate he was. His thoughtfulness had shown in the past few days that they spent together, and she allowed herself to let her guard down completely.
Now that she thought about it, Nathaniel had never shared his life before, and it was the same for her.
Although the two of them had been together for so long, there was no proper bond between them. They hid secrets from each other while having their walls up. Therefore, it was inevitable that they became what they are now.
"I've never told you about my family," Lily said as she warmly took his hand and led him to the sofa.
Seeing how gentle she was, Alexander quickly quieted down and took her hand, nodding slightly. “Yes."
"I was born in Brown City," she said slowly. "I'm from the Lodge family of Brown City."
"The Lodge family?"
"Yeah."
Almost everyone knew who the Lodge family of Brown City was, just like everyone knew of the Russel family of Sapphine, the Tanner family of Ruby City, and the Richards from the capital. No matter how low-key the Lodge family was, they were the only family known for their ancient kickboxing technique. Little was known about the Lodges than the other three families, giving them a mysterious vibe.
The Lodge family had always kept a low profile. Hence, the public only knew the prominent figures of the family. Other than that, no one knew much about the children and other in-laws of the Lodge Family.
This was why Alexander did not know that Lily was related to them.
