Grace got out of the car. They all smiled helplessly seeing Lily deep asleep in the car. Lucas was going to pick her up. He was almost used to it. But before he could, Grace stopped him and said.
" Papa, you guys go ahead. I'll pick her up and bring her back."
"Are you sure? She ain't as light as she used to be."
Grace smiled upon hearing that and reassured her parents to go ahead. She gently bend down and easily picked up her sister. She was used to carrying her sister around since she was little.
After going abroad, she didn't stop working out. Working out was a habit she has developed. Before she used to go to parks with her parents for exercising when was young. But later on, she didn't like to go out. She didn't like the crowd.
So her father built a gym inside the house. It was on the terrace. It was all covered by glass but the amazing quality of it was that the glass could be opened. It was a beautifully relaxing view and she could enjoy the weather while working out.
She especially liked to work out at dawn or night. The pink sky at dawn was beautiful and the shining stars and moon at night were just sparkling.
So after going abroad, other than working out, she started playing sports and learned martial arts. Her favourite sport was basketball and her favourite martial art was shooting. That is guns.
She took her sister to her bedroom and after tucking her in, she went back to her room. It was as it is. They didn't change it. A smile spread on her lips. After reminiscing about certain things, she started unpacking. After she was done. she went downstairs and saw her parents cooking in the kitchen.
They were both good cooks and they cook whenever they had the time or on a special occasion. Seeing them from behind, a warm smile spread to her lips. She smiled and didn't disturb them.
Instead, she went up to wake up her sister. They came down together and helplessly their parents set out the table.
No matter how wealthy they were, their parents taught them some things that should never be forgotten no matter which position they are in.
One of them was to never let an outsider clean your bedroom. It's a personal space and one should clean it themselves. While the other was to occasionally do housework like cooking and setting up the interiors.
Because that adds a feeling of home to where they live. And moreover, it lets us not forget where we come from and become arrogant or anything. All that their parents taught them were really good things. Their family had a very good moral background.
That was probably why the Ally family proposed marriage to their house. If there was any family as strong as theirs, it would be the Alley family. They had a very strong military background. The elders of that family who have passed away played a very big role in the country. They contributed a lot to the country and were called the great leaders of the country.
Today, the military general of the country belongs to that family. Moreover, she heard that their son for whose marriage they proposed to her family, in other words, her candidate for marriage was also extremely outstanding.
He was apparently very talented at handling weapons. And he was even better at hand-to-hand combats. More importantly, he was the best strategist in their country. No one could rival him. He has yet to fail a mission.
Setting aside his accomplishment, her parents also said that he was a very praised person in their society. He was the most sought bachelor. Some people also said he was the opposite in his rebellious age. That he was very rebellious and did bad things but then he sudden;y turned over a new leaf overnight. No one knew why.
Grace felt that he was an interesting character. She was never interested in anyone and had a feeling she was not capable of loving someone in that sense. No one could ever attract her in all these years. But she wasn't particularly opposed to marriage.
Marriage was a part of everyone's life. And even though she might not want a life partner, she wanted children. She always had a feeling that if she had children, then they would mean everything to her. And if someone so important to her could exist, she didn't want to be the one to eliminate that happiness from her own life.
In other words, Grace was a very indifferent person. She was so alienated from the world that even when she does something she likes, it feels like she is uninterested or forced. She likes to play basketball but there wasn't a smile on her face after scoring or winning the game. She likes to shoot with guns but she doesn't smile when she hits the bullseye.
It was all because she likes them. Like is insignificant to her. Love is meaningful to her. She could only smile for something she loves. Other than her family, she only loved one thing. That was her passion. She was an artist.
She was a painter. She studied for MBA as she has to inherit her father's fortune but her true talents and passion lie in painting. In her free time, she only paints. She had a pen name " Night Lily " in which night signified her calm, indifferent and cold temperament and Lily obviously signified her sister.
She was one of the leading artists in the industry. Her talents were never honed but she was born with them. She was also a highly intellectual person and she likes to learn new things. She was an outstanding person in her generation. But because she hates crowds and stays out of the public eye, no one knew much about her.
