Admiral Snop had had a little to drink. Meeting with Graces today, he seemed to have a lot on his mind. Graces remained quiet, listening patiently without a hint of annoyance.
He continued, "After you left, Duke Lu Xia came to see me many times. She never stopped looking for you, but she didn't stop living her life, either. She has always been a young female with a strong will and her own ideas."
Graces nodded. "I know. She can take good care of herself no matter who she loses. In fact, it's usually us who can't stand to lose her."
He had never doubted Lu Xia's feelings for him, but he also knew that Lu Xia's life wasn't just about them.
That they had the good fortune to be with Lu Xia was already an immense blessing.
At the same time, they had learned a great deal from Lu Xia: to love others, one must first love oneself. Only by being strong and confident yourself can you give more to the one you love.
