Chapter 188 Shocked.

"Yes, Madam Dana has a wide network of contacts." Lu Xia agreed with Smelian's words. "Today I realized how extensive Madam Dana's network is. I was really dwarfed by her before."

Simon whispered, "When Her Majesty the Queen was selecting candidates for the succession, she did consider Lady Dina. However, the current Queen eventually took the lead and became the new Queen. However, Lady Dina is still deeply supported and loved by the people."

Lu Xia didn't expect that Lady Dana and Her Majesty the Queen had such a relationship.

Seeing that Lu Xia seemed a little curious, Simon smiled and said, "I have many more secrets like this. If Your Excellency the Duke likes, I can tell you more when I have time."

"Okay, tell me about it when you have time." Lu Xia responded, "I'm really interested."

After all, who doesn't have a gossipy heart?

Smellian glanced at the delighted Simon and said nothing more.

As for why Simon knew so much, he didn't ask much. He naturally had his own ways.

Besides, he had also heard a little about Simon. This guy was able to break away from the Earl of Li's Mansion and get the inheritance of the former female mother. He was a capable person. He also heard that he had his own information channels and could obtain a lot of information. It was not surprising that he knew some secrets.

Lu Xia ate something and rested for a while, and his condition was visibly better.

Cecil came over after following Madam Dana to a social gathering. He sat directly next to Lu Xia and asked, "Sister, you must be tired after a hard night. I just agreed with Mother that we can leave later."

Lu Xia pushed the food next to him and said, "You should eat something too and take a rest. I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Cecil took a small piece of bread and ate it slowly: "Sister, you know, they look at me with envy. I know what they are thinking. They must envy me for having such a good female master like you, but they just think about it. They can't get your favor, right?"

Lu Xia looked at Cecil, who raised his chin slightly and looked proud.

At this moment, he was like a cat showing off its treasure, noble and beautiful, making Lu Xia unable to help but gently touch his face and respond: "Yes, you are right!"

Cecil was extremely happy to receive a positive answer, and then he hugged Lu Xia affectionately and said coquettishly: "I love you the most, and you are the best to me."

After saying that, he glanced at Simon where Lu Xia couldn't see.

Simon raised his eyebrows and turned his head away as if pretending not to know that this was a provocation, with a particularly strong sense of out of sight, out of mind.

Smellian did not participate in the undercurrent between the two people. He stood aside and drank the wine in his glass nonchalantly.

Mrs. Rafaeld was also invited to the event tonight. As Smellian's mother, she was showing her social skills and was active at the scene.

In fact, through her marriage to Duke Luxia, Mrs. Rafaeld has made many friends and gained a lot of benefits from it. This was the result she wanted when she gave Smellian to Duke Luxia. Now the Rafaeld family has even received a hundred times more than expected in return.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and it was already very late when Lu Xia and the other two left. Originally, Mrs. Dana wanted Lu Xia to stay at her house for one night.

Lu Xia knew very well that his physical condition was not suitable for living outside, so he refused.

Along the way, Simon was somewhat surprised by Cecil and Smelian's particular concern for Lu Xia's health. Back in the hovercraft, Simon took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong with the Duke?" Cecil and Smelian didn't respond to Simon's question, but Lu Xia smiled and replied, "Nothing special, they're just worried because I'm pregnant."

This sentence made Simon's pupils shrink suddenly. He looked at Lu Xia in surprise, unable to believe what he heard.

What do you mean there's nothing special, just pregnancy?

Was the pregnancy what he thought it was?
Can females become pregnant naturally?

Why had he never heard of such great news?
There was no movement at the Institute of Biology!
Seeing his look of disbelief, Cecil proudly stretched out his legs and raised his chin slightly: "It's Smellian's cub."

Cecil spoke in such a proud manner as if the cub belonged to him, causing Smellian to look at him, wondering what he was so proud of.

Simon seemed to find his voice again after a moment: "You can conceive naturally, right?"

Since Lu Xia had already announced her pregnancy, she had no intention of concealing it any further and said frankly, "Yes, but the news hasn't been made public yet. The Biological Research Institute doesn't know about it yet. You're living in the Duke's Mansion now, so you'll know sooner or later. That's why I didn't hide it from you."

Simon nodded: "I know what you mean. I won't tell anyone else. So can I understand that Little Grape is also you and Grace...?"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xia already understood what he meant and nodded, "Yes, little Grape is also my child."

Simon was in a trance for a moment.

He really couldn't believe that all this was true. Duke Lu Xia could actually conceive naturally. He knew very well what a sensation it would cause once the news of Duke Lu Xia's natural conception was exposed. He couldn't even imagine it. Subconsciously, he set his eyes on Lu Xia's abdomen. Because Lu Xia was wearing loose clothes, he couldn't actually see anything, but he knew very well that a new life had been conceived there.

On the way home, Simon was very quiet, as if he was trying hard to digest the news. He couldn't help but wonder if Duke Luxia would one day give birth to a cub for him.

As a defective product, he had lost the right to be a male father. Now that he had become a gene fusion, he had never imagined that he would have the opportunity to become a male father. After all, his identity was just a husband servant.

But now Lu Xia can get pregnant naturally, and she doesn't even rule out having cubs with defective males or male servants, so he can't help but wonder if he also has such an opportunity and will become a father one day. This realization makes him particularly excited.

She also regretted coming to Duke Lu Xia so late, even though they had the same starting point.

He glanced at Smellian with some envy.

Although Smelian didn't say much along the way, he was very clear that Smelian's existence had been recognized by Lu Xia.

He has truly gained the favor of Duke Lu Xia.

It's no wonder that Cecil is so averse to him. If it were him, he probably wouldn't want to have another competitor before he has achieved any results.

Smellian paid no attention to the subtle rivalry between Simon and Cecil at the moment.

He let Lu Xia lean on his arms and made her as comfortable as possible. When they returned home, the old housekeeper prepared sobering soup for them. He also carefully asked Lu Xia if she had eaten enough for dinner and whether she needed the kitchen to prepare an extra midnight snack.

Lu Xia said she needed to eat something, and the old housekeeper thoughtfully prepared a bowl of wontons, which Lu Xia liked very much, for her as a midnight snack.
