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

Chapter 74 Requirements.

Smelian returned to his room to change his clothes and go to the restaurant for dinner, but when he came out of the dressing room, he received a video invitation from Mrs. Rafaeld.

His mother usually doesn't contact him on her own initiative. If she suddenly contacts him, there is only one possibility, that is, she has something to ask of him.

At this moment, Smellian vaguely remembered something. He had been living too comfortably here and had neglected many things.

Now that he received the video invitation from Mrs. Rafaeld, he felt like he had woken up from a dream.

With a soft sigh, he picked up the video call, and a voice soon came from the other end: "Why is it so slow? What are you doing?"

"I just got back from get off work. What does my mother want to talk to me about?" He raised his hand and fiddled with the buttons of his shirt, as if this could ease the irritation in his heart.

Mrs. Raffield looked at him with a sharp gaze: "Smellian, you seem to be doing well in Duke Luxia's mansion, but have you forgotten what I said to you before you came?"

"I've been too busy lately. I haven't had the chance to mention it to His Excellency the Duke. I'm looking for an opportunity. Please wait a moment."

"What are you busy with? You're so busy that you became the director of a hospital department, and the son of Duke Leslie became a gene fusionist and was promoted to major general in the military region. I heard that Duke Luxia and Duke Leslie even fought against the Gene Research Institute together for him. Why can't you learn from him and get more benefits for yourself and your family?" Mrs. Raffield's words were full of unwillingness, as if all these things were because Smellian did not take the initiative to fight for them, and their Raffield family did not get any benefits at all.

"The things you mentioned were already promised to Grace by His Excellency the Duke before I showed up. His Excellency the Duke is not a stingy person, so you don't have to worry too much."

"You are too naive. Even if Duke Lu Xia is not a stingy person, why should he give it to you? You have already missed many opportunities. You are just a servant. What's more, the male son of Duke Leslie's family has had some bad luck and became a gene fusion. Is he going to become a househusband next? Don't you have any sense of crisis? At least make Duke Lu Xia like you, Smellian, I want you to bring Duke Lu Xia back next week!"

Obviously, the last sentence is the main purpose of Mrs. Rafaeld's video.

Smellian was not surprised at all.

After all, Mrs. Rafaeld has always had demands on him.

He didn't refuse or refute: "I'll try my best."

"I don't want you to just try your best, I want you to promise. If you can't even do this, Smelian, you'll disappoint me greatly. I heard that not long after Grace and Duke Luxia got together, Duke Luxia personally took him to visit Duke Leslie. We in Raffield also need such honor. You must remember that everything you have today was given to you by the Raffield family. You must be grateful."

Such words made him feel a little breathless. It was always like this. Smellian never felt that the Rafaeld family had given him anything, but always asked him to devote himself.

His mother had obviously forgotten that becoming Duke Luxia's servant was not his wish, but she had forced him to do so with the same family responsibility.

Even at that time, the rumors about Duke Lu Xia were not friendly, but his mother did not consider that if the rumors were true, he would most likely lose his freedom and life.

Now his mother once again used family responsibility to ask him to take Duke Lu Xia back, demonstrating the Duke's Mansion's importance to the Rafaeld family.

Everything made him feel suffocated. "Mother, I will do my best to do what you say, but the glory of the Raffield family is not something a defective male like me should consider, nor is it my responsibility. His Excellency the Duke is waiting for me to dine, so let it be."

After the words fell, Smellian cut off the video without hesitation.

The moment the light screen disappeared, the huge pressure seemed to disappear along with it.

This was his first time rebelling against Mrs. Raffield. In the past, he would have simply remained silent, but now, thinking of Lu Xia and how she could indulge Grace, he couldn't help but wonder if she could also indulge him. Besides, he was no longer a member of the Raffield family, so what difference did he make whether he did it or not?

Unlike Smellian's calmness, Mrs. Raphaelde was almost furious after being refuted and the video was disconnected.

She had never thought that this "defective product" Xiongzi, whom she did not like and even despised, would one day rebel against her authority. Who gave him the courage?

However, beneath the anger of having her authority challenged, there was also a panic that she was unwilling to admit, the fear that something was getting out of control.

Smellian seems to be different from the past.

His heart leaned towards Duke Lu Xia, and he began to be dissatisfied with the control of the Rafaeld family over him and was unwilling to continue to make contributions.

How can this be!

After so much difficulty climbing up to Duke Lu Xia's mansion, I absolutely cannot lose this layer of support. Although I am unwilling, it seems that my attitude towards Smeliande really needs to change.

Mrs. Raphaelde was obviously very flexible and called the housekeeper: "Get ready, I'm going to Duke Lu Xia's mansion tomorrow night."

Since Smelian wants to escape from control, he will go there in person to make him understand what the family means to him.

Smelian came down from upstairs, and Lu Xia was indeed waiting for him.

He walked forward quickly and said apologetically, "Sorry, I was delayed a little."

"It's okay, you came just in time. The soup just arrived." Lu Xia said with a smile, and asked the butler to serve a bowl of soup and place it in front of Smellian. "Try it, it tastes very good."

"Thank you, it looks delicious." Smellian picked up the porcelain bowl in front of him and did not mention what Mrs. Raphaeld asked him to do.

He didn't want to, and was even somewhat reluctant to take Duke Lu Xia back. He selfishly didn't want Duke Lu Xia's Mansion to be drained by the Raphaeld family.

"What's wrong, Smelian? You look like something is on your mind." Lu Xia looked at Smelian who seemed a little absent-minded.

Her words made Grace look up and look at him vaguely.

Smellian paused while drinking his soup, then looked up at Duke Luxia: "I just received a video call from my mother. She hopes that I can invite you to visit the Raffield family, but I don't want to do that."

He finally couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart, because he thought Lu Xia would understand.

If she can empathize with Grace, does that also mean she can empathize with him?

He even wanted to know the answer urgently.
