“That’s right. I’ll miss you.” Lily was not shy. She boldly put both arms around his neck and said, “What if you miss me?”
“No matter what, there’s always a solution,” he laughed lightly, then bent forward to peck her on the lips. “Look in your room.”
It was the room she always had at the Lodge family residence. Lily pushed the door open and was instantly touched.
Her room was maintained the way she had left it. The things inside were untouched, but the room was clean. It was obvious that the room was cleaned frequently while the items were undisturbed.
The only difference was that the beddings were new. They seemed to have been dried under the sun and looked very comfortable.
However, there was no heater in the house. Alexander noticed that there was no air-conditioning either. The space felt stuffy.
"There’s no air-conditioning in the room?" He walked another round to ensure that he had not missed something. True enough, there was no cooling system.
When he said this, Lily remembered, "I forgot to tell you that the Lodge home has no air-conditioning or heater. You’ll have to endure it through the night."
"There’s really no air-conditioning?"
He found this hard to believe. It was the age of technology. Even ordinary households had to air-condition, so what more a family like the Lodges? Of course, the reason the Lodge family didn't have air-conditioning was not that they couldn't afford it but because they were not keen on it.
"You know there’s a rumor that the Lodge family is an old kickboxing family. Everybody in the family participates in it.” Lily sat on the bed as it was more comfortable.
Alexander nodded. "I've heard that rumor."
