Pregnant female is super soft and fragrant, the orc hugs the waist and kisses

Chapter 41 Taunting.

Grace didn't expect Lu Xia to be so frank, as if he had never even considered lying to him.

This made him happy about Lu Xia's frankness, but at the same time he was unwilling to be honest with her.

Grace hid the bitterness in her heart and didn't want Lu Xia to see that something was wrong with him. A jealous male would not be favored by a female.

Besides, he was just one of Lu Xia's servants. What right did he have to interfere in this matter?
"Dinner is getting cold, go eat."

Lu Xia didn't notice his emotional fluctuations and just thought he was curious about his attitude towards Smellian.

"Okay, go back to your room first." Lu Xia said and turned to go downstairs.

The old butler came out of the room and met Grace's emotionless black eyes. Without saying anything, he turned and left the study.

Some things don't need to be said too clearly. He believes that smart people know what they should do.

In the empire, females are required to contribute to the country's reproduction. Not to mention that Duke Lu Xia currently only has five husbands and servants, more is fine, not to mention that there will be main husbands and concubines in the future.

What this family has the most is males.

In his opinion, it was rare for Grace to be favored for so long.

Lu Xia didn't know what Grace and the old housekeeper were thinking. She didn't have much idea about Smellian who might appear in the house soon. Since the husband-servant relationship couldn't be dissolved for the time being, she would maintain it for now. With her current financial situation, even ten would be enough, let alone one more person.

So for her, whether Smellian existed or not just meant that there would be one more person to eat at home from now on.

As for why the attitudes towards Smellian and Grace are different?
That was because Grace showed up at a time she couldn't refuse.

After eating a bowl of steaming hot shredded pork noodles, Lu Xia felt that all the fatigue in his body was swept away.

When she got up, she subconsciously touched her belly. Now her 4-month-old belly was slightly bulging, and she was already showing her pregnancy, but because she was not fat, it was not obvious. She had been wearing loose clothes recently, and if she didn't deliberately show it, no one would know that she was pregnant.

What's more, she was pregnant and had no adverse reactions at all.

If her belly hadn't grown bigger, she wouldn't have really felt pregnant.

After having supper, Lu Xia went straight back to the room. Grace had already changed into pajamas and was making the bed. When he walked closer, he found that Grace had changed the sheets again.

Men seem to be getting more and more skilled at doing this.

Seeing Lu Xia coming back, Grace said softly, "Is the noodles okay?"

“It’s delicious, thank you.”

"You're welcome. As long as you like it, I've prepared the bath water. You can use it directly."

Grace is as sweet as ever.

When Smelian was taken onto the hovercraft, even though he was covered by a black robe, the scars were still visible.

But he seemed oblivious and followed behind Enol. When the car door closed, Enol, as his father, didn't care about his experience or injuries. Instead, he asked, "Do you know who I met at the auction house today?"

Smellian looked out the window expressionlessly. His thin, fair face, with its delicate and beautiful features, actually looked a bit sacred under the dim light.

He did not respond, nor was he interested in Enor's words. He looked out the window, but there was nothing outside except darkness.

Enor seemed to be used to his behavior and continued to talk to himself: "Your mistress, Duke Lu Xia, is accompanied by someone. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the unappreciated male from Duke Leslie's family. You are all servants. He is lucky. You know, your mistress doesn't even know your name!"

Enol's words caused a slight ripple in Smellian's eyes, who was originally looking out the window calmly, but he quickly returned to calm.

He really didn't expect that person to appear here.

In fact, as early as when they were informed that they could do their own things and did not have to stay in the Duke's Mansion, they should have thought of each other and not been interested in their servants.

But I didn’t expect that even my name was not remembered.

"If your mother knew about this, she would be very angry."

"Wouldn't she be angry after something like this happened?" Smellian suddenly spoke with full of sarcasm.

He knew very well that the reason why Enor came back to rescue him was simply because his identity was different from those tribesmen who had been plundered before.

The son of Chief Rafaeld was kidnapped and sold, which was definitely a provocation to the chief's authority. His mother would not let it go. Even if he died, it would be better than being kidnapped and sold like this.

Besides, even if he was to be sold at a low price, his mother had already maximized his profits.

It’s a pity that the adult didn’t even remember his name. It’s ridiculous.

"It's good that you know. When you go back, admit your mistake to your mother."

Hearing this, Smellian remained silent again, as if he didn't hear it, or maybe he heard it, but didn't want to refute it because it was meaningless.

But after returning, the imagined storm did not come. Chief Rafaelde even changed his usual contempt and greeted Smellian warmly after his return, acting like a loving mother: "Ah, my little Smellian must have suffered a lot outside. You are finally back. I will ask the doctor to check you carefully. Don't let any root cause of the disease remain. You must be hungry. Dinner has been prepared long ago. You can eat after seeing the doctor."

Smellian stood there tense, letting the other person touch his face affectionately, expressing his heartache.

Although Enor was puzzled, he did not make any noise to disturb them.

It wasn't until Patriarch Rafaeld finished her motherly act that she changed the subject: "After dinner, have a good rest. Duke Luxia will send someone to pick you up tomorrow."

This sentence made the mockery in Smellian's eyes even stronger. He looked at the surprised Enor and wanted to ask him, is this what you mean by 'not remembering his name'?
"When did this happen?" Enor could no longer remain silent after hearing this.

"What happened just now? Duke Lu Xia personally sent a message to her butler saying that he would come to visit tomorrow morning. Since you met Duke Lu Xia in the black market, why don't you just go back with him? Why come back?" Although she said this, she still looked very happy. Even if the person coming tomorrow morning is not Duke Lu Xia himself, she knows very well that the old butler has a special status in the Duke's Mansion.

This shows that Duke Lu Xia still attaches great importance to Smelian.

Indirectly, it means the importance they attach to their Rafaeld family!
