Chapter 67 Will.
Grace had never felt it so clearly before. The cub was so close to him. He could clearly feel the cub's movements under his palm.
At that moment, he really felt like he was about to become a father.
This was the bond between him and Lu Xia. His blood and Lu Xia's blood flowed in his body. Because of its existence, he and Lu Xia were closely connected.
It was magical and touching.
Grace knew very well that he was the only male who could have such an experience.
Lu Xia looked at the faintly red eyes of the man standing in front of him, and couldn't help but curled his lips: "What's wrong with you, Grace, are you going to cry?"
Grace lowered her head and leaned her head against Lu Xia's shoulder again: "Don't laugh at me, Xia Xia, I just never felt this way. I feel that we are incomparably close, and I'm so happy!" Grace's
words of expression of emotion surprised Lu Xia.
But it's not difficult to understand if you think about it carefully. Although Grace has relatives, according to the attitude of Duke Leslie towards him, I'm afraid he has never experienced what family affection is since he was a child.
In fact, this is not just a problem of Grace, but a problem of the entire imperial society. Most males are born lacking love.
Lu Xia softened his heart and raised his hand to touch Grace's hair gently: "Just be happy. When it comes out, you can teach it well. This is your duty as a male father."
"Okay." Grace held Lu Xia's hand, raised his eyes to look at her, and kissed Lu Xia on the lips the next second. He now urgently wanted to feel Lu Xia's presence.
To prove that all this was not a dream he imagined.

On the night of the celebration dinner held by Duke Leslie for Grace, Lu Xia and Grace attended in dresses of the same color.
Duke Leslie, who had arranged for waiters to greet them at the door early in the morning, smiled and greeted them when he saw them again: "You are finally here, come with me to the backstage to prepare, you are the protagonists tonight, you must be the last to attend."
Lu Xia originally thought that Duke Leslie would make it a family dinner, but she didn't expect it to be so grand: "Did you also invite Prince Li Mang?"
"Of course, such a rare opportunity, I must invite her, but unfortunately, Mrs. Dana refused."
Hearing that Mrs. Dana refused, Lu Xia was not so surprised.
When he arrived at the lounge, Prince Li Mang was already there. Seeing Lu Xia coming, he waved to her happily: "Come on, see what's different about me tonight?"
"You are not wearing a wig today, right?"
"Smart, I got hair extensions, and the hair underneath is all my own. I can't wait for it to grow longer, so I just got hair extensions. How can it not be seen?" Prince Li Mang touched his long hair lovingly, and the whole person was visibly happy.
Lu Xia was also very happy for her: "You can't tell at all, there's not even a trace of the connection."
"But it took me a long time to do it. When my hair grows this long, I won't have to do it anymore." Prince Li Mang held Lu Xia's hand, his tone full of indescribable joy. She liked Lu Xia so much that she liked him now.
If it weren't for Lu Xia, she would still be worried about alopecia!
"By the way, I heard that the people from the Gene Research Institute will also come tonight, so you should be mentally prepared." When Prince Li Mang said this, he subconsciously looked at Duke Leslie.
Duke Leslie was stunned when he heard this: "The director of the Gene Research Institute took the initiative to contact me. I thought it was just one more person to invite, so I didn't refuse. What's wrong?"
Lu Xia didn't expect that after the Gene Research Institute had contacted her and Admiral Snoop of the First Military Region, they still went to Duke Leslie.
"They came for Grace's identity as a gene fusion. Do you want Grace to participate in voluntary research and devote everything?"
Lu Xia asked very straightforwardly.
Duke Leslie blinked his eyes, not quite understanding why Lu Xia's attitude suddenly became so cold: "Isn't this a good thing? This is a contribution to the empire. Besides, Grace is a soldier. Shouldn't he have such awareness?"
Obviously, Duke Leslie didn't think about the problem from Grace's perspective from the beginning.
Prince Li Mang on the side couldn't help but sigh. Even she could see how much Lu Xia cared about Grace, but Duke Leslie
couldn't see the problem.
"What if these studies endanger Grace's health or even her life? Don't you care about that?"
Duke Leslie pursed her lips. She wanted to say, what's the big deal? As long as it's research, there will be risks. What's more, this is a contribution to the empire, and we should be prepared to sacrifice for the empire.
But her intuition told her that she couldn't say this. If she really said it, Lu Xia might really turn against her on the spot, although she didn't understand why Lu Xia would reject this.
In her opinion, this is a completely good thing.
"How can I not care? I just promised them to come to the dinner, and I didn't plan to promise them anything." Obviously, when Duke Leslie said this, he was already very weak.
Lu Xia looked at her and stated the facts: "You have never considered Grace. For more than 20 years, he has lived as a defective product. You never cared about what he had suffered. You even fiddled with him at will. You were used to it. But his identity is different. He has no relationship with the Duke Leslie family. He is also an excellent gene fusionist. Please consider his feelings and wishes when you deal with problems in the future."
Lu Xia paused and continued: "I thought you could understand my intention when I asked you to host the celebration dinner tonight, but now it seems that you have only thought about the interests of your Leslie family. Of course, there is nothing wrong with you doing this, but even if you consider Grace a little more, you should not let the people from the Gene Research Institute in. To be honest, Duke Leslie, your behavior today has disappointed me a little."
It can be said that Lu Xia's last sentence was very heavy.
Duke Leslie's face turned pale instantly.
She really didn't expect that Lu Xia would mind the people from the Gene Research Institute appearing at the dinner, but Lu Xia was right.
She really had never considered Grace's wishes. She just thought that if she could establish a relationship with the Gene Research Institute through this dinner, it would be a good thing.
Prince Li Mang spoke at the right time: "Lu Xia just cares too much about Grace, so she doesn't want to deal with the people from the Gene Research Institute. What is their purpose, you will know as long as you think about it carefully, but things have come to this point, we can only find a way to solve it."
"Blame me, I really didn't think so much, they are still in the rest area now, I asked people to pay attention to their movements, and they will definitely not ruin the celebration tonight."
