She wanted him to keep guessing.
Taking a towel, Alexander walked over and wiped her sweat off.
"Take a break and have some tea."
"Okay."
Wiping the sweat off her face, she moved to the shaded area under the pergola, where she felt soothed
after taking a few sips of tea.
"This weekend..."
It was rare that Alexander would hesitate while talking to her.
"Yes?"

"This weekend, I'd like you to go somewhere with me."
Judging from his look of distaste, it must be a place that Alexander had to go to despite himself.Lily
guessed there could only be one such place.
"Go to the Russell family’s old house with you?"
"You knew?"
Surprised, he felt more relaxed now that she had said it aloud.
"Yes, it won’t take too long, but we must go." Lily thought for a moment.
"Your youngest uncle is getting engaged?"
Alexander snorted, seemingly disapproving of the way she addressed the man.

"Yes, my woman is the greatest fighter!" She blushed when Alexander called her his woman.
"I’m sweating all over.Let me take a shower."
Alexander let go of her hand and gazed after her as she returned to the house.There were traces of
worry in his eyes.
Although Alexander had never seen her fight, he could guess she could fight well.
However, even though the Lodge family was descended from generations of kickboxers, they blended
in with outsiders for many years.
No one knew how good they were compared to those with basic kickboxing training.
