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

Chapter 117: Shaken.

At Grace's public banquet for househusbands, Duke Leslie was in great glory. Everyone knew that her family's original "defective" Xiongzi had become a gene fusion because he followed Duke Lu Xia, and now he had changed from a husband's servant to a househusband.

It can be said that Duke Leslie has caught up with every good thing that has happened.

Duke Leslie was also extremely happy. In fact, even standing here at this moment accepting other people's sincere or hypocritical blessings, she was still a little dazed, as if she was dreaming. No, she wouldn't even dare to do this in her dreams.

Even though she was Grace's mother, she never thought that Grace could be so successful!

The humiliation she suffered at the hands of Xiuska was finally resolved. Xiuska was already useless, but Grace was very capable!
Today, Lu Xia also invited Mandela, the former female mistress of Xiuska. She had specifically expressed her desire to participate in the government hall, so Lu Xia added her name to the invitation list.

When he saw Duke Leslie again, Mandela came over to greet him with his new husband, looking very natural.

Even though Duke Leslie disliked her in his heart, he did not show it on his face. After all, today was a good day for their Leslie family.

"Congratulations, His Excellency Duke Leslie."

"Thank you, is this your new husband?" Duke Leslie looked at him and had to admit that in terms of appearance, he was indeed much better than her son Xiuska.

Mandela smiled and nodded: "Yes, Villar, say hello to Duke Leslie."

"Good day, Duke Leslie."

Duke Leslie nodded in response.

On this side, Mrs. Rafael was also in a good mood. Although today's public banquet had nothing to do with Smelian, Mrs. Rafael was also happy when she saw Smelian wearing a dress similar to Lu Xia's, and Smelian being taken to greet the guests.

Even if this banquet has nothing to do with Smelian now, who can guarantee that it will not be related next time?
Maybe the next time will be the public banquet where her Smellian becomes a concubine.

There is only one head husband, who has been fortunately inherited by Grace, but one can still dream of being a concubine husband.

When Lady Dana came back with Cecil, she happened to meet Lady Raphael's gaze. The two looked at each other and both smiled friendlyly.

But in fact, they have all kinds of calculations in their hearts.

Mrs. Rafaeld took a special look at Cecil's dress, which was completely different in style from the ones worn by Lu Xia, Grace, and Smellian, and she felt more relaxed.

It was obvious that their Smellian was still the best. He couldn't compete with Grace, but at least he was not surpassed by Cecil.

He was not even included in the custom-made suit, which clearly showed that Duke Lu Xia did not take him seriously.

Mrs. Dana naturally saw what Mrs. Raphael was thinking. Although she felt unwilling, there was nothing she could do. The fact was that so far, Cecil was indeed no match for Smellian.

This isn't just a matter of clothing.

Lady Dana glared at Cecil fiercely, but didn't say anything else. She didn't want people to think she was petty, and she still had to maintain the dignity of the royal family.

However, Lu Xia was still very sensible. After greeting the guests, he came over to talk to Mrs. Dana. Seeing Cecil here, he specifically asked him if he had eaten anything.

Even someone as picky as Cecil couldn't find any fault with Duke Lu Xia at this moment.

Especially tonight, after seeing with my own eyes how Lu Xia treated Grace and Smellian, it can be said that there is no harm without comparison.

He was the one who got hurt. But he couldn't blame anyone else, because it was him who made that choice before. He just didn't want to admit it, and he was indeed a little envious.

As Lu Xia left to attend to other matters, Lady Dana glanced at Cecil and said, "Open your eyes and look around the entire empire. Can you find another female ruler like this who is so thoughtful and considerate of her partner?"

Cecil didn't respond, which was considered as tacit agreement. However, he was still somewhat unconvinced in his heart and couldn't help but complain in his heart, "He hasn't seen many female masters, how can he know if there are other such people."

"You don't know how to cherish, but there are naturally many people who do. The next time we attend might be the public banquet for Smellian's concubine. I think Lu Xia likes him very much too. Who doesn't like a beautiful and sensible partner?"

"Mom, I'm not as bad as you say, am I?" He doesn't look bad either.

Dana sneered, no answer, only ridicule.

The banquet lasted until very late, and after the guests left, Lu Xia couldn't help feeling a little tired.

After leaving the aftermath to the old housekeeper, he returned to the room with Grace.

After watching the two leave, Cecil walked over to Smellian and said, "Tsk tsk, I thought you had already made it to the main room and won the favor of the Mistress since I haven't been back for so long. Now it seems that your progress is just this much."

Smellian looked at Cecil, who was trying to find a sense of balance from him. "Thank you for your concern, but I don't think that day is too far away. But I guess you don't care. It's getting late, so I'm going to go back and rest. Good night."

"Hey!" Cecil stared at Smellian's back and wanted to say something, but Smellian had no intention of staying at all.

Does this guy even know that he is mocking him?
Aren't you angry at all?
Cecil found it a little hard to understand. He had originally planned to leave immediately after the banquet. Lady Dana had already left anyway, and Duke Lu Xia obviously didn't care about his stay or departure. No one would care whether he left or not.

He also didn't want to stay here and have to face Duke Lu Xia's face. After all, living here wouldn't allow him to move around freely on his own.

But now he was shaken in his heart, because he wanted to know how Duke Lu Xia won people's hearts. Both Grace and Smellian were devoted to her. What kind of magic did she have?

Thinking of this, Cecil walked back to his room.

The old butler was a little surprised to see him go upstairs. He thought that this man would leave immediately after the banquet, but he didn't expect him to stay.

Sure enough, some males are good at saying one thing and thinking another.

No matter how nice you say, you are still shaken in your heart.

It’s no wonder, who can resist the charm of their ladies?

After Lu Xia and Grace returned to the room, Grace hugged Lu Xia from behind and said, "Thank you, Xia Xia. I am very happy with the dinner tonight."

"As long as you are happy, no one will question your identity anymore, Grace. From now on, you can hold your head high and stand tall to do anything. I will always stand by you."

"Even if there's a possibility that I've done something that goes against the bottom line?"

Lu Xia tilted his head and looked at Grace in confusion: "What do you mean by violating the bottom line?"

"It's a bad thing, but I have my own reasons. Will Xia Xia still stand by me?"
