Chapter 196 Meeting.

Admiral Snoop almost immediately caught the key point in Cardin's words. He looked at Cardin and asked, "Why, Grace's identity was exposed in front of his mistress?"

His tone was filled with undisguised curiosity.

Cardin looked around quietly, and after confirming that no one was around, he nodded slightly and smiled, "I think he is upset."

Admiral Snoop nodded slightly, "He should be upset."

After gossiping with Cardin, Admiral Snoop came to Grace's office and saw Grace standing by the window, wondering what she was thinking.

Hearing the noise, Grace turned her head and looked at Admiral Snoop, "What nonsense did Cardin tell you again?"

Admiral Snoop was not surprised by Grace's understanding of Cardin. After all, Cardin was now Grace's adjutant. It was very dangerous for a general to not understand his adjutant.

"Your identity may be known to Duke Lu Xia."

Admiral Snoop had no intention of hiding it. He looked at Grace seriously and asked, "Is it true?"

Grace nodded slightly: "I have never doubted Xia Xia's intelligence. She will find out sooner or later."

"In that case, what are you worried about now?"

Grace looked at him: "You ask questions even though you already know the answer."

Admiral Snoop coughed lightly: "Tell me, what are you going to do?"

"I plan to go back in person. The Allied Forces will appear in front of everyone sooner or later. It's just a matter of timing, and I need to explain to Xia Xia in person."

Concealing the truth itself was wrong on his part. If he couldn't explain it in person, Grace felt that he really had no way to see Lu Xia again. He couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.

Admiral Snoop nodded and said, "Now the time is right. When are you going to leave?"

"We can leave after everything is sorted out here."

"Is there anything I can do?"

"Yes."

Admiral Snoop was not expecting Grace to be so sure, so he became interested: "What is it?"

"I need you to keep a close eye on Lustan's movements."

Admiral Snoop seemed a little surprised by Grace's request.

Since he came here, he naturally knew Grace's true identity. As his father, Lustan was treated like this by Grace, and it was hard for him not to be surprised.

"Do you think he will do something else?"

"I just can't be sure, so I need your help."

"I see."

After confirming this with Admiral Snoop, Grace looked better: "I will arrange things here, and everything is up to you."

"Don't worry, I will take care of everything."

Just as Admiral Snoop trusted Grace, Grace also trusted Admiral Snoop.

The day of Grace's departure was much sooner than Smelian thought.

As soon as Smelian received the time and place from Grace, he knew he had made the decision.

That night, Smelian returned home and told Lu Xia about the incident.

Lu Xia said angrily, "I think he is crazy!"

That night, Lu Xia followed Smelian and Cecil and went to where Grace was.

The meeting place was where Lustan had been imprisoned.

The moment he saw Grace, Lu Xia's first reaction was that he had lost weight.

The moment Grace saw Lu Xia, he knelt down.

Lu Xia looked at him, turned to Smelian and Cecil and said, "You two go out first."

Cecil and Smelian didn't say much. They knew very well that it was not appropriate for them to be here in this situation.

After Cecil and Smelian left, Lu Xia looked at Grace who was kneeling on the ground: "Do you have anything to explain?"

Grace shook her head: "No, I guess Cecil and Smelian have already told you."

Lu Xia nodded: "Grace, I didn't expect you to be so resourceful. You actually did such a dangerous thing without telling me, and you even said it was for my own good. You are really annoying."

As she said that, she raised her hand and forced Grace to look up at her.

Grace said: "It's me who made Xia Xia unhappy. Xia Xia can punish me in any way she wants."

"Punish you, you wish." Lu Xia shook Grace's chin away, turned around and walked to the side to sit down, and said: "Stand up."

Grace didn't dare to hesitate at all when she heard that. She stood up from the ground and stood quietly beside Lu Xia.

Lu Xia looked up at him: "If you were given another choice, would you do it again?"

Faced with Lu Xia's question, Grace hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "I would do it again."

His answer was firm, and Lu Xia knew that he did not regret it. He chuckled: "Since you don't think you are wrong, why do you still kneel?"

"I just don't want to make you angry."

"Grace, I'm not angry because you did such a thing, but because you did it without telling me. Since it is for my own good, why didn't you tell me? Am I really so weak that I can't share the ups and downs with you, or do you not trust me? In your eyes, I am a person who completely needs your protection, Grace, answer me."

"No, Xia Xia, I never felt that you were weak and needed my protection, but I knew very well that everything I did was very risky. I didn't want to put you in danger. I admit that it was wrong for me to hide it from you, but you don't know anything, so your natural life will not easily reveal flaws."

Lu Xia listened to his well-reasoned analysis, knowing that he must have weighed the pros and cons between telling her and hiding it from her.

Facing such a Grace, Lu Xia sighed softly, stood up and walked in front of him, hugged Grace: "I am very worried about you, Grace. At first I really thought you were in danger, but I don't believe you can't solve it. After all, you are a heterogeneous gene fusion. Later, a series of things happened, all so coincidental. I have to wonder if it was you who did it. During this period, Grace, you have lost a lot of weight. It must be very hard?"

Grace's body stiffened for a moment when she was hugged, and then she hugged her back subconsciously. God knows how much he missed her.

Listening to Lu Xia's whispers in his ears, his heart softened. All the efforts were worth it. Lu Xia never let him down.

Not only can she empathize with him, but also understand his efforts and hard work. Grace feels that all these efforts are rewarded.

"I'm not tired, Xia Xia. Whenever I think of you waiting for me, I just hate that time can't go faster so that I can return to you as soon as possible. I miss you very much, Xia Xia." "

I know, Grace." Lu Xia raised her head and held Grace's face, and took the initiative to kiss the corner of his lips with heartache in her eyes. "Now that you're back, we can do this together. Don't refuse me. I also want to do my part for the Alliance."

Grace looked into her eyes and nodded gently. The next second he couldn't help but kiss her.
