His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 620

"I'm not a visitor. I'm Wilfred Lodge's grandson-in-law and part of the Lodge family. I'm supposed to pay respect to him." He was about to walk forward after he spoke.

However, Jonathan did not move his cane, which blocked Alexander's way. "I heard about your marriage, but it seems it was just a verbal agreement, and there hasn't been a wedding yet. Since it hasn't been official, you can't be considered a member of the Lodge family. The Lodge family has its own rules. Since you’re at the Lodge family place, you should obey our rules!"

"I..."

Alexander wanted to say something else, but Lily gave him a wink and said, "Granduncle Jonathan did make a point. You can wait for me here and drink some tea. I'll go and pay my respects to Grandpa. I'll be fast."

Although she did not say anything, Alexander understood from the expression in her eyes.

There was something wrong with the atmosphere at the Lodge family. They already had a rough idea before they came, but the situation seemed to be a little worse than expected.

They were unsure of what Henry did or how he managed to get the elders, especially Granduncle Jonathan, on his side.

Anyway, the mourning hall was inside while the living room was outside, separated by just a wall. If anything happened, he could take care of it from the outside.

Alexander did not insist anymore. He just whispered, "Don't be too sad."

Lily nodded and walked to the inner hall. She did not notice it when she was outside, but the scene in the mourning hall was much more resilient than those outside.

Everyone in the family came. The elders sat on one side, while the younger family members and disciples of the Lodge family sat on the other side. Justin was sitting nearest to the front of the casket.
