No one knew when the Lodge family first started living here, as it had been many years.

There were many cars along the way. The tire marks and the pressed snow on the road were noticeable. It was most likely due to her grandfather‘s upcoming birthday. The car was stopped when it reached the gate as they needed to show their invitation card.
Alexander slightly loosened his collar and was about to take out the invitation card when Lily lowered the car window and looked at the guard, “It's me.” It had been quite stsince her return, so the guard was taken aback. He finally recognized her only after taking a second, closer look.

“Quick, open the gate!” He waved his hand, “Go and tell the master Ms. Lily is home!” They all looked excited. It seemed that they still welcomed her home. Alexander watched her raise the car window with a solemn expression. He did not say anything and just held her hand softly.

Alexander prepared an art masterpiece packed in a velvet box as a gift. It was easy to carry, but Lily‘s wooden crane sculpture had to be specially transported by car.
Alexander leaned over and planted a kiss on her forehead. He said, “I'll look for you after I've finished entertaining here.” “Okay!” She replied obediently and watched him get out of the car and walk up the stairs. Edward was following closely behind, holding the velvet box.
