Chapter 185 Meeting.
With the addition of Little Grape, Simon's arrival at this home became unexpectedly harmonious.
Only Cecil was still watching all this with vigilance.
He felt that Simon was really an opponent that should not be underestimated. It was obviously his first time here, but he actually gained Little Grape's attention. He hated it. Why didn't he think of starting with Little Grape?
Because Little Grape liked Simon's eyes, he stayed in his arms all night. If it wasn't too late, when he needed to sleep every day, he would still be reluctant to let go. Until Simon promised again that he would give him the purple gem tomorrow, Little Grape was satisfied and let go of his hands. "Ah, ah" twice, he went to find his brooder and went back to the room to sleep.
Lu Xia watched Little Grape leave, turned around and said to Simon: "I'm sorry, Little Grape has troubled you."
Faced with Lu Xia's politeness, Simon hurriedly said: "Little Grape is very cute, I am very happy to be liked by him, you don't have to feel sorry."
Lu Xia smiled at him: "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."
"Good night, Your Excellency the Duke." Simon made a noble etiquette gesture to her and watched Lu Xia leave.
Before following Lu Xia back to the room, Smelian also greeted Simon.
Although Cecil didn't want to pay attention to Simon, his upbringing didn't allow him to do so. He nodded to Simon, which was a simple greeting, and then left in a hurry.
Simon seemed not to see the rejection in Cecil's eyes. He still had a faint smile on his face and looked very friendly. After watching everyone leave, Simon turned around and said to the old butler standing beside him: "You have worked hard too, go to bed early." The
old butler bowed slightly: "Good night."
Watching Simon leave, the old butler felt that this young male was much smarter than Cecil at the beginning, and was also much more mature and stable.
Smelian followed Lu Xia back to the room. He couldn't help hugging Lu Xia from behind, resting his chin on Lu Xia's shoulder, rubbing it gently, and asked softly: "Xia Xia likes Simon very much?"
Lu Xia looked back at Smelian: "Is this question important to you? I thought only Cecil would be jealous."
"So Xia Xia also knows that Cecil is jealous."
"Yeah, Cecil's emotions are very obvious."
"Will Xia Xia hate us like this?"
Lu Xia shook her head: "I am very happy that you have emotions, and even if you have emotions in your heart, you haven't done anything inappropriate. I believe you won't do anything out of line, and I don't know Simon very well, far from liking him. And, Smelian, you are all different in my heart."
Lu Xia was always honest and frank, and the gloom in Smelian's heart was well soothed.
He hugged Lu Xia tightly, kissed her cheek, and said softly: "Xia Xia, can you grant me a favor tonight?"

Grace looked at the message sent by Admiral Snoop on the terminal requesting a meeting, slightly raised the corners of her lips, and a smile appeared in her eyes. He knew that Admiral Snoop would eventually choose to stand on the same front with him.
After agreeing on a meeting place with Admiral Snoop, Grace packed up and prepared to go back to rest.
Just as he was about to leave the office, Lustan walked in from outside and said, "Are you going back? Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
Grace stopped and looked at Lustan, without asking him what he wanted to say.
Lustan was accustomed to his state. He sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said, "Why did the battle on the border suddenly stop? Isn't this a good time to launch a large-scale attack?"
Grace tilted her head and looked at him: "If I remember correctly, I am the first commander of the Alliance Army. I don't need your intervention in what I should do. This is what we agreed on at the beginning."
"Now you have deviated, why can't I say it?"
"Where is the deviation? Do I need to report everything I do to you? Even if I negotiate with you, is it necessarily correct? If you really have such ability, why would I stand here to do this? The Empire should have been overthrown in your plan, right?"
Grace's words did not leave any mercy for Lustan at all.
After all, he was the commander of the rebel army, but he eventually went to destruction. He really had no sufficient reason to blame Grace. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he knew that Grace was far better than him.
"I didn't blame you. I was just saying why you gave up such a good opportunity?"
"Of course I have my plan. You'd better not interfere in this matter. It's late. I have something to do tomorrow. If you have nothing to do, you can go back and rest."
After speaking, Grace left the office without stopping at all.
Lustan frowned, his heart was full of irritability and unwillingness. He felt that Grace was getting out of his control little by little.
This feeling of losing control was not good.
Grace came out of the office and happened to meet Cardin who came to see him. When he saw him, he didn't wait for Cardin to speak, and Grace said: "Lustan is in the office and hasn't left yet."
He suddenly said such a sentence. Cardin was slightly stunned, and then reacted, turned around and followed Grace and said: "It just so happens that I have something else to do, so I'll go to do it first."
Before he finished speaking, he had already run away. Obviously, he was also afraid that Lustan would ask him questions. He was not Grace, and he couldn't be tough with his senior.
The next morning, Grace left the military area without Cardin. Just like last time, he took a hovercraft alone and came to the meeting place scheduled with Admiral Snoop.
This time when he got off the car, he didn't feel Admiral Snoop's secret sentry around.
Obviously, Admiral Snoop didn't make such an arrangement this time.
After taking a quick look at several possible locations where sentries might be set up, Grace started walking towards the meeting hotel.
When he opened the door of the room, Admiral Snoop was already waiting inside. Seeing him come in, Admiral Snoop, who was pouring wine, looked back at him and said with a smile: "Would you like a drink, Grace?"
"No, Admiral, just give me a glass of water."
"You really are restraining yourself at all times. Now it's just you and me, don't you take the opportunity to relax, Grace?"
"Things are not over yet, I dare not relax."
Admiral Snoop laughed in a good mood, then poured him a glass of lemonade and put it in front of him: "You have been out for so long, haven't you thought about going back to see Duke Lu Xia?"
"I dare not go back. If I go back, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back."
Admiral Snoop nodded: "It is indeed difficult to meet a female master like Duke Lu Xia again, so your original intention of doing all this is not particularly difficult for me to understand. Put yourself in your shoes, if I were you, I would probably do the same."
