Chapter 525 The Russells were prosperous and prominent compared to other families. There were many descendants from Alexander‘s father‘s generation. Alexander‘s grandmother was still around but was old and could no longer manage family matters.
Alexander was responsible for deciding the family‘s big and small matters. In other words, his uncles, aunts, and other family members needed to listen to him on the Russell family‘s matters.
However, Lily did not know he had any siblings, so she wondered why Brandon suddenly addressed Alexander as “Fourt Russell.”
Alexander gently patted Lily‘s lead, “That‘s because I am the fourth child.”
**Huh?” Lily was surprised, “How did I not know about this?”
“Members of the Russell family can‘t mention this matter, so not many outsiders know. However, those who know no longer mention it since many years have passed. We‘ve gradually forgotten about it, too,” Alexander said nonchalantly
Life came and went. One would meet many people and forget many more in one‘s lifetime. How many would still remember and not forget one after one died?
“If so... your brothers and sisters...” She asked carefully. It must be sensitive since the family could not speak of it.
Lily thought that her childhood was terrible enough. Little did she expect that Alexander‘s childhood would be worse.
“My mother couldn‘t withstand the leartbreak and died soon after. My lather followed suit two years later. I guess they‘ve reunited in the afterlife,” Alexander scofled at the last sentence.
“Alex, I...” Lily softly called him as she felt piercing pain in her lieart. She never knew the Russells had such tragic secrets. It turned out his closest family members were no longer around. No wonder he did not care and was indifferent on this matter.
“You have me,” Lily responded in a gentle voice, Alexander turned around and gently kissed Lily‘s forehead, “There‘s no need for you to care too much about this. It luas long passed, and I don‘t feel sad anymore.” “I won‘t, but I‘ll be here with you.” Lily wanted to be by Alexander‘s side forever,
