His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)
Chapter 445

Chapter 445

It was such a cold day. Even without an air conditioner, the house felt more like an igloo.

"Even the guest rooms have no air conditioners? Does your family have to torture their guests too?" Alexander was amused.

There were so many guests here to attend the celebration. Surely not all of them were going to leave on the same day. They would likely stay the night. Did they have to endure the cold too?

Lily shook her head. "The block in front is for the visitors. The few guest rooms there have air conditioning. Back here is where the Lodge family resides."

The message was that the family was not allowed to enjoy the luxuries, but outsiders could. When Alexander heard her, he felt that something was wrong. After thinking for a while, he said, "Does that mean I'm one of you guys?"

'If not, why else would they assign me to a room with no air conditioner?'

"You're right. Logically, that is what it means." Lily nodded thoughtfully.

Alexander could not decide if he should be happy or sad." What an honor!"

The two joked for a moment, but they started to feel cold lying there.

It was not the right time to strip and snuggle under the comforter, so they got up. "Let's go downstairs and look around. I've been here twice already, but I've not had the chance to look around yet."

The last time Alexander was here, out of social obligation. He came here for a short engagement and then left. He did not have the chance to look around the residence, let alone stay here. But today, Alexander was here for a different reason. His mood was different too.

Lily hesitated but did not refuse. The couple put on their coats and headed for the courtyard.

The banquet in the building in front was boisterous and crowded. Given the Lodge family's status, many came to offer their good wishes. Besides those who were there to visit, they had many disciples too. Since the family was entertaining guests in front, the courtyard was tranquil. It started to snow. The place was slowly covered in white, giving off a unique vibe. The snow in Brown City was not heavy, not to mention that compact. Their feet produced a "creak" sound when they stepped on the snow. They left behind a row of footprints.

The couple linked hands and walked a distance when Lily turned back and saw the big and small footprints. The big ones were Alexander's, and the small ones were Lily's. After looking at the footprints, she had an idea, so he pulled away from Alexander and said, "Wait here."

She walked carefully to an empty spot, one foot after the other. Although she sauntered, each step was steady and robust. After she walked one round and left the spot, the empty area in the snow revealed a heart shape.

Lily clapped her hands and admired her "masterpiece," confident that her heart shape looked good. "Not bad, huh?"

Alexander smiled at her. Similarly, he walked around the edges of the heart and, at one point, close to her heart. Afterward, what was left was a big heart shape around the small heart shape. Raising his eyebrows, he said, "Mine isn't bad either."

"You're biased. Mine is better looking," Lily pointed out the flaws in Alexander's heart shape while scrunching her nose.

"It's not important if it looks good or not. What's important is that you're in my heart." Alexander disregarded what Lily said. He felt satisfied looking at the two hearts.

Lily was delighted with his sweet talking and smiled brightly.

She once spent a lot of time practicing kickboxing in this courtyard, training the different skills. There were different zones in the space, each for a different skill set. Lily had seen this courtyard as nothing more than a training ground since she was a kid.
