Chapter 620
“I’m not a visitor. I’m Wilfred Lodge’s grandson–in–law and part of the Lodge family. I’m supposed to
pay respect to him.” He was about to walk forward after he spoke.
However, Jonathan did not move his cane, which blocked Alexander’s way. “I heard about your
marriage, but it seems it was just a verbal agreement, and there hasn’t been a wedding yet. Since it
hasn’t been official, you can’t be considered a member of the Lodge family. The Lodge family has its
own rules. Since you’re at the Lodge family place, you should obey our rules!”
“1…”
Alexander wanted to say something else, but Lily gave him a wink and said, “Granduncle Jonathan did
make a point. You can wait for me here and drink some tea. I’ll go and pay my respects to Grandpa. I’ll

Although she did not say anything, Alexander understood from the expression in her eyes.
There was something wrong with the atmosphere at the Lodge family. They already had a rough idea
before they came, but the situation seemed to be a little worse than expected.
They were unsure of what Henry did or how he managed to get the elders, especially Granduncle
Jonathan, on his side.
Anyway, the mourning hall was inside while the living room was outside, separated by just at wall. If
anything happened, he could take care of it from the outside.
Alexander did not insist anymore. He just whispered, “Don’t be too sad.”
Lily nodded and walked to the inner hall. She did not notice it when she was outside, but the scene in
the mourning hall was much more resilient than those outside.

Lily was a little surprised.
When she did not see Justin outside, she thought he was elsewhere, or something else had happened.
She did not expect him to be in front of her grandfather’s casket.
Since he was the eldest grandson, he should be there. However, when Henry questioned Lily, why did
Justin not react at all?
After Lily calmed down, she stared at the memorial with shining eyes. Her grandfather’s photo was

He had followed and watched her behavior with cold eyes and did not speak until she brought the
flowers and wanted to place them in the casket. It was then that he stopped her. “Lily, you
don’t deserve to do this.”
She had expected that her choice to come back today would be a battle, but she was not afraid of it.
Except that…
Her eyes swept over, only to see Justin sitting on the side silently, avoiding her sight. She did. not know
what he was thinking. Justin did call and warned her not to come back, which showed that he at least
still cared about her.
“Granduncle Jonathan, what do you mean?” she asked calmly.
“Let me ask you then. Did you give the scented candle that your grandfather used in his room? Did you
make it yourself?” Jonathan stared at her with sharp eyes as if he was looking at a criminal.
