Chapter 76 Trust.

Hearing what Lu Xia said to the housekeeper, everyone couldn't help but look over with suspicion in their eyes.

Duke Leslie couldn't help but ask, "Are there any other guests?"

Lu Xia nodded gently, without hiding anything: "It's Mrs. Rafaeld."

She didn't say whether the other party was invited or came uninvited. When she said this, she stood up with a smile and called out, "Smellian, come with me."

When Lu Xia answered Duke Leslie's question, Smelian had already stood up. His face was not very good and there was worry in his eyes. He did not expect that Mrs. Raphaeld would come uninvited.

He was also worried that Lu Xia might think that he and Mrs. Raphaelde had done this together.

He wanted an explanation.

Lu Xia gently patted his arm to comfort him. She didn't even say anything, but Smelian understood that Lu Xia did not misunderstand him.

She knew that this matter had nothing to do with him.

In an instant, his whole heart was filled with Lu Xia's unconditional trust. At this moment, Smelian was very moved.

Even his eye sockets were a little swollen.

This unconditional and unreserved trust gave him a great sense of security.

He couldn't help but look at Lu Xia. He had a lot to say, but now was not the time.

Mrs. Raphaelde walked in led by the waiter. The moment she saw Duke Luxia and Smellian coming out to greet her, a smile appeared on her face.

The anxiety in my heart was quietly relieved. It seems that Duke Lu Xia still values ​​Smelian.

Of course, what she cared about was not the importance she attached to Smellian, but to judge Duke Lu Xia's attitude towards the Raphaeld family through Lu Xia's attitude towards Smelian.

"Good morning, Duke Lu Xia. I apologize for disturbing you today. It's just that I haven't seen Smelian for a long time and I miss him, so I came here uninvited." After Mrs. Raphaelde finished speaking, she looked at Smelian with a smile, as if Smelian was her most beloved child.

Lu Xia raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect that Mrs. Rafaeld was also an actress. If she didn't know very well the significance of Smellian's existence to the Rafaeld family, she would really be moved by their deep mother-son love.

"I've been quite busy lately. I originally thought that after I was done with this, I would accompany Smellian to visit Madam. I didn't expect Madam to come in person. However, it just so happens that we have a small gathering tonight. Since Madam is here, please come in and have a cup of tea."

Mrs. Raphaelde was a little surprised when she suddenly heard Lu Xia say that there was a small party tonight. She subconsciously looked at Smellian, hoping to give her some information. As a result, Smellian didn't pay any attention to her at all, and was looking at Lu Xia gently in his eyes.

This scene made her heart tighten, and she clearly felt that Smellian's attitude towards Duke Lu Xia was completely different from the beginning.

As someone who had experienced that kind of look, she knew what it meant.

She could only calm herself down and pretend to be calm, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know you had a party at home tonight."

"It's okay, it's just a private gathering of friends, you don't have to mind it." Lu Xia smiled politely and led Mrs. Rafaeld into the restaurant.

When she saw Duke Leslie and Prince Limang, Mrs. Raphaeld's eyes unconsciously showed surprise and uneasiness.

She had never imagined that the private gathering that Duke Lu Xia had mentioned would actually include Prince Li Mang. As for why Duke Leslie was here, she wasn't that surprised. After all, another of Duke Lu Xia's servants came from the Duke Leslie Mansion.

So it is normal for Duke Leslie to appear here.

"This is Smellian's mother, Mrs. Rafaeld, this is Prince Liman and Duke Leslie, and this is Admiral Snop and Grace's adjutant. Today's gathering is to celebrate Grace's promotion to major general." Lu Xia introduced them with a smile and explained the purpose of tonight's gathering naturally.

When Mrs. Rafaeld heard that this party was to celebrate Grace's promotion to major general, she was shocked again.

Because this reason was something she had never thought of. After all, no matter what kind of achievements the males made, it was what the females deserved. Since it was what they deserved, there was no need to celebrate.

Moreover, she had just heard not long ago that after Grace became a gene fusionist, the Duke of Leslie's Mansion also hosted a banquet for many people to celebrate for him.

For a time, the male Grace was the most popular.

This made her unable to help but take another look at the man standing next to Duke Lu Xia.

Unlike Smellian's simple beauty, Grace naturally carries the solemn and murderous aura of a soldier.

"I've heard that Madam Rafael is beautiful and dignified. I didn't expect to have the chance to meet her today. It can be considered as fate." Duke Leslie spoke first to break the situation and pulled Madam Rafael to sit down.

The atmosphere of the dinner seemed to become harmonious again in an instant.

Smellian sat down again, his inner panic had completely calmed down compared to before. He was no longer worried that Mrs. Raffield would say something to ruin the dinner.

Because he knew very well that when his mother met Duke Leslie and Prince Li Mang, she would only think about making friends with them and would never say anything nonsense at this time to displease the two gentlemen.

Such an opportunity is rare for Mrs. Rafaeld, who values ​​family interests, and she will definitely not let it go.

Soon Lady Raffield was in conversation with Duke Leslie.

Grace glanced at Smelian, who had been silent from beginning to end. He knew very well that Lu Xia had not invited Mrs. Raphaelde to today's dinner. The only possibility for her to appear here was that she came uninvited.

Regardless of whether Smellian is involved, as one of Lu Xia's servants, he should handle the relationship with the Rafaeld family well.

Not causing extra trouble to Lu Xia should be their minimum requirement as husbands and servants.

The dinner lasted until about 10 o'clock, and when Duke Leslie and Prince Leman left, Mrs. Raffield finally had the opportunity to speak to Smellian alone.

"Who are you showing this to?" As an uninvited guest, Mrs. Raphaelde did not seem to think there was anything wrong with this, and asked Smellian with confidence what his attitude was.

"I hope you can let me know in advance next time if you have something to do, and don't make me so passive. Duke Lu Xia doesn't mind because she has a good personality, but mother, you should also have your own etiquette. If you want to maintain your relationship with Duke Lu Xia, please don't make it difficult for me."

Although Duke Luxia's attitude towards Smellian today was not very enthusiastic, he did not ignore him either. This made Mrs. Raphaeld realize that Smellian was not completely without status in Duke Luxia's Mansion.

So when Smellian said this, she rarely showed any emotion and just said, "If you had explained these things to me earlier, I wouldn't have come here so suddenly."

In short, she will not admit that it is her fault.
