Graces hadn't expected Lu Xia to be so frank. It was as if the thought of telling a simple lie to placate him had never even crossed her mind.
He was torn between appreciating Lu Xia's honesty and resenting her for it.
Swallowing the bitter feeling in his heart, Graces didn't want Lu Xia to notice anything was wrong. 'A jealous male would never win his Female Master's favor.'
'Besides, I'm just one of Lu Xia's husbands. What right do I have to interfere?'
"Dinner's getting cold. You should go eat."
Lu Xia didn't notice his emotional turmoil, assuming he was just curious about her attitude toward Smelian.
"Alright. Why don't you head back to the room first," Lu Xia said, then turned and went downstairs.
The old butler emerged from the room. His eyes met Graces' emotionless black gaze, but he said nothing before turning and leaving the study as well.
'Some things don't need to be spelled out. I'm sure a smart man knows what he should do.'
