In the living area, Alexander propped his head with one hand and tapped on his laptop screen while saying something.
Then he lifted his head, put the laptop aside, and went to hold Lily's arm. “You must be tired, huh? | told the kitchen staff to prepare fresh ginger tea for you. Have sand go upstairs to rest. | also told the housekeepers to tidy up the room. Let's make do with it for today, okay?” “Your uncle hasn't returned yet?” Ralph had not returned since he left in the afternoon, and there was no way to reach him because his phone was off. Lily supposed he did not want to see them for the tbeing.
“He needs tto digest the truth.” Alexander shook his head and continued, “Besides, we need to decide whether or not he can remain in the family.” “Are you going to kick him out of the family?” Lily had been pondering the question, so she voiced it.

Lily pouted. “This is your family’s business, and you're making decisions. How would | know?” Seeing how adorable she looked, Alexander brought her to his chest and tapped her nose with a chuckle. “My family? Aren't you the Russell family’s daughter-in-law? There's nothing wrong if the household's mistress decides on this.” “You're passing the pressure onto me, huh?” Lily threw him a sidelong glance and thought carefully before saying, “I think we should consult grandma on this since Ralph is her son.
“She has treated him as her own, even if he’s not related to her by blood. Although the estate belongs to the Russells, it’s still Grandpa and Grandma's house. They should be the ones deciding whether or not to keep him. We don’t have a say in this matter.” What she said was what Alexander was thinking.
That was why he did not announce the official removal of Ralph from the family. His grandmother had collapsed at the time, so he had to put off dealing with it. Ultimately, Margaret had to make the decision.
“However, I'm curious. How cGrandma didn't give birth to him? Wouldn't a mother know whether or not a child is hers?" ‘According to facts, a child might not be fathered by their father, but a mother could only give birth to her children.’ “How is it not the case with grandma?” Alexander shifted his arms so Lily could sink into him comfortably. “I do know something about this matter. For you to understand, | have to start with my second uncle’s death.” “Your second uncle?” She heard Alexander's father had many siblings, but only Ralph and Celine survived. Therefore, she was surprised when Alexander mentioned him.
