Chapter 57: Househusband.

Some things really are late but arrive sooner rather than later.

Even though Grace had given her a heads-up before coming, Lu Xia didn't expect that Mrs. Dana would speak so directly and even give her the right to choose.

If she doesn't like it, help her find one she likes.

It was as if the male children in her home were the cabbages in the vegetable market. As long as she didn't like them, she could change them as she pleased.

This was indeed a compliment to her, but it also made her feel the coldness of the royal family.

Perhaps all females in the empire are selfish and cold-hearted at heart.

Lu Xia smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Madam Dana, for your high regard for me, but there's no need to change. I have no complaints against Cecil. I've just been busy lately and neglected them. I thought they had their own jobs and careers to attend to and it wouldn't be good for them to revolve around me, so I left them alone. I didn't expect you would misunderstand me."

She didn't know what would be waiting for Cecil if she rejected him.

Based on her understanding of today's society, males who are disliked by the female master will probably not have a good ending. Besides, she has already accepted Grace and Smellian, so a few more won't make a difference.

She treats everyone equally.

"So that's how it is. It seems I misunderstood you. Since Duke Lu Xia has his own considerations, I will not get involved in your affairs in the future. However, if Cecil does anything that makes you dissatisfied, you can always come to me."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Dana even took care of the after-sales service.

Although Lu Xia thought so in his heart, he did not show it on his face.

After that, nothing was mentioned about Cecil. The three of them chatted for a while, and then Lu Xia stood up and left with Prince Li Mang. There was not much time left before the end of the banquet, and Duke Leslie had already come to find her.

"Your Excellency, thank you for introducing me to Madam Dana today. If I need you in the future, please feel free to ask." She naturally understood that Madam Dana wanted to meet her, but Prince Li Mang also played a role in the process, so she still had to say what she should say and express her gratitude.

Thanks to Prince Li Mang's favor, we will have more opportunities to get along with each other in the future.

"You're just too polite to me. Whether you can meet Madam Dana or not has nothing to do with me. It's all up to you. If you weren't capable, no matter how hard I tried, I wouldn't be able to meet my cousin. Didn't you see that after she came to the banquet, she stayed in the lounge to rest and didn't even leave the house? She has quite the personality." Having said this, Prince Li Mang looked at Duke Leslie who had already walked over and smiled, "Speaking of which, I really envy you. It's a pity that I don't have a suitable son in my family. If I did, I would definitely send him to marry Lu Xia."

Hearing this, Lu Xia felt overwhelmed and quickly said, "Your Excellency, there is no such marriage. We are very close."

After the banquet, Lu Xia and Duke Leslie returned to the car. After closing the door, Duke Leslie asked curiously, "Did Prince Li Mang take you to see Madam Dana just now?"

There was actually nothing to hide. Lu Xia nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that Madam Dana would want to see me."

"Of course I want to meet you. You've been the most popular female in our empire's upper class lately. Not to mention the hair growth serum and beauty cream, just the fact that Grace can become a gene fusionist has many people wanting to meet you."

When Duke Leslie said this, there was an undisguised sense of boasting in his tone, as if she had also benefited from Lu Xia's current achievements.

Lu Xia was amused by her exaggerated tone: "I won't argue about the hair growth liquid and beauty cream. Grace's matter has nothing to do with me. How can this be blamed on me?"

"Who made you his mistress? Even if it's his honor, you also have half the medal of merit. How can it have nothing to do with you? Don't be too modest. You have to admit it when you should. Who knows, my male son may have benefited from your good luck. Otherwise, why didn't I see him activate his beast gene when he was injured before?"

Unexpectedly, Duke Leslie's words became more coherent. Lu Xia smiled and nodded, not arguing any further. "Don't worry about organizing a celebration for Grace. Since I'm going to do it, I'll take full responsibility. Just bring him over when the time comes. I'll also have Xiuska come. I'll have him apologize to Grace. He'll do a lot."

"Is this okay?" Lu Xia was a little surprised that Duke Leslie was willing to do this.

"It's not up to him what's wrong and when to do it."

Although Lu Xia felt that Grace might not care whether Xiuska apologized or not, but being able to get the person who always bullied Grace to apologize on his own initiative was something Lu Xia felt was worthwhile, so he was not prepared to refuse.

Duke Leslie personally escorted Lu Xia to the doorstep. As he watched Lu Xia get out of the car, he couldn't help but ask, "Dear, I want to ask, do you have any ideas about the choice of househusband?"

Househusband?

Lu Xia was slightly startled when he suddenly heard these two words. He obviously did not expect Duke Leslie to suddenly mention the identity of househusband.

Is it because of Grace's current identity change?
Since Duke Leslie asked this, it was definitely not just a simple question.

"Not yet. I won't be considering this matter in the short term. What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just thought, if you have any ideas, I can help you find them."

"Oh, no thanks. I don't have any ideas for now. Thank you for your concern and for worrying about my affairs."

"Isn't this as it should be? What's our relationship? Well, since you don't have any ideas, then I won't be upset. It's getting late, go to bed early."

Although Lu Xia had no intention of promoting Grace to be a househusband, nor did he have any intention of looking for a househusband, this was good news for Duke Leslie.

In the past, she would not have coveted the position of Duke Lu Xia's mistress. After all, Grace was just a "defective" male, and it was simply a pipe dream for her to dream of the position of mistress.

But now that Grace has become a gene fusionist, her thinking has become more active.

There was no opportunity before, but now there is, right?

Based on Duke Lu Xia's current achievements, even members of the royal family have noticed him. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes in the future, he will definitely be able to recreate the former glory of the Duke's Mansion.

So if Grace is lucky enough to become her househusband, then the Duke of Leslie's Mansion will be closely connected with it. How can she not be tempted?

But Duke Leslie told himself not to be too impatient, at least not to let Duke Lu Xia think that she was coveting the position of househusband, and not to let Duke Lu Xia hate her.

Lu Xia didn't know that Duke Leslie had so many thoughts in his mind. When he came back from outside and entered the house, he saw Grace, Smellian and the old butler in the living room. Hearing the sound, the three of them turned their heads together.

Then Smelian took the lead, came forward, and took the coat and bag from Lu Xia's hands.

Seeing him take the initiative, Lu Xia was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at him again.
