His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 780

It seemed that Alexander honestly did not care much about the other members of the Russell family. Since he said that, she would just follow suit. “Great, the both of us can make the decisions on our own then.”

Alexander was somewhat surprised by her reaction. “I thought you’d convince me to mend my relationship with them and tell me they’re still my family no matter what.”

After all, too many people had said similar things to Alexander in the past. His so-called relatives and friends had been persuading him to do that ever since he was a young child. They thought they were helping him with his troubles, always telling him that blood was thicker than water and that he should reconcile with the other Russells. They would also tell him that they were still his elders and his family, so he should understand and forgive them.

Hence, he was ready for Lily to convince him to do the same and said they needed his family's blessings for their wedding. However, she said nothing of such at all.

“Why would I convince you to do that?” Lily shrugged and said disapprovingly, “I’m not you, so I don’t know what happened between you and your family, but I trust you have your own reasons for doing so. I've decided to stick by your side no matter what. With that being said, I just need to respect your decision. Also, I trust your judgment. You must have your reasons for staying away from them.”

She had never been in his shoes before, so she believed she had no right to tell him to forgive them because she had no idea what kind of pain he had gone through.

Moreover, some things were uncertain in this world. At her lowest point and the most challenging time in her life, Alexander was the one who helped her get through all the obstacles. However, Henry, her uncle, tried to frame her for what she did not do and even made things difficult for Justin. He created such a mess shortly after Wilfred passed away.

‘Blood isn’t always family. Some people value their self-interests over everything else.’ Lily believed in this.

Her words moved him significantly. He just stared at her, the woman he loved most. She was the woman he had set aside a place in his heart for a long time. Reality proved to him that he had made the right choice back then, and she was the person who understood him the most.

“The matters of the Russell family are complicated… and nasty. I’ll tell you more about it in the future,” Alexander said softly, raising his hand to caress her cheeks gently.
