Sean looked dazed.JPG

Scott was next to Sheen, and he added to her voice in a voice that only Sheen could hear:

"They slept in the same bed for so many years, but they only had me. Do you think this is normal?"

(James was diagnosed with infertility at the age of 30.

But he was not sad at all, instead he felt that it was a very happy thing to be able to sleep with his beloved wife...)

Sheen's hand holding the dessert hung in the air, and after a few seconds of silence, he shook his head violently.

Scott closed his eyes and sighed:

"The southern nobles are paying attention to this matter. Do they have nothing else to do?"

Sheen shrugged: "It's not like I made up the rumor."

The Duke was a little embarrassed:

This matter has been known to the world, but it is a "defect in a man's life"...

But he didn't care (the 'stay behind' target had been met anyway).

His dark green eyes kept glancing at Nora, as if he was saying, "I'm really sorry that his sweetheart had to bear the blame for being infertile because of his own problems."

The lady also saw the Duke's shy expression like a confused little boy, she just thought the Duke was very cute.

It's another day when we find each other adorable.

"laugh..."

Nora, who was standing by, also covered her eyes with her slender hands and laughed awkwardly.

"It's okay, James. Just think of it as me taking the blame for you, okay? You've worked so hard outside for so many years, and being able to return safely is the greatest happiness."

"Oh, Nora~"

The Duke smiled happily.

The couple looked at each other and couldn't hide their smiles:

"I plan to wait a few years before announcing this so that these rumors can be dispelled." (James)

"It's okay. I'm used to taking the blame. Besides, this blame is yours..." (Nora)

"Hmm~" (James)

Oh, this is such reckless, hard to guard against dog food!

Sheen covered his eyes, but it was no use.

Okay, time to get back to the official topic.

The Duke clenched his fist and put it to his mouth to clear his throat:

"Ahem. Sean, keep this a secret for now. I don't want to be distracted by this kind of thing during my career's rise."

"I know. I won't tell anyone about this."

As Sheen spoke, he leaned forward and took a cup of ginger milk and started drinking it.

The Duke put the empty cup of apple cider vinegar on the table and for some reason changed the subject:

"I got married early because I was lucky enough to meet my ideal type. But I don't think it's responsible to just find a partner just to continue my bloodline.

"Although Impes got married and had children very early due to force majeure of the family, I also hope that Scott can meet someone he loves, instead of looking for someone you don't love just for the sake of the family."

"Got it, Scott?"

Scott was inexplicably Q'd, and he felt a little nervous:

Uh, eating too much "sugar" can easily lead to accidental injury...

"I know, I know..."

Scott Chicken pecked and nodded,

(Inner thoughts) This is really not something I’m considering!

"Ding dong~"

The system (reader end) display screen happily wrote "Mission completed, 300 system coins have been received."

Hehe, it’s relatively simple to complete the task by going with the flow.

Sheen sprinkled flowers on himself.

But Scott on the side obviously didn't look well.

Well...

Jiaming had looked up topics about afternoon tea long before he entered the book:

"Noblewomen often get together to talk about the private life of a family..."

It seems that this is indeed the feeling.

But the Duke's sudden "teaching" caught Scott, who was enjoying the feast, off guard.

Sheen felt increasingly puzzled:

This doesn't feel like "the father-in-law urging his daughter-in-law to come in".

But...

Is the father-in-law worried that his good daughter is being taken advantage of by a pig?

What's going on? Several question marks popped up in Sheen's head.

Sheen looked at Scott who was looking hopeless beside him:

If Scott can owe me a favor, he won't target me in the future, right?

"Then the Duke..."

Sheen raised his hand slightly and asked the Duke a soul-searching question.

"Why do you dare to have a 'sister-brother relationship'?"

. . .

Scott and Nora stared at Sheen blankly with soulless eyes. Their eyes were filled with:

"Are you forcing a conversation?"

However, this trick actually worked for the Duke.

"Dare to...talk?"

When the Duke heard this topic, he was so excited that he rushed to the sofa where Sean was sitting (luckily it was a long sofa!), and sat down next to Sean.

Sheen was "catapulted" and his butt was lifted off the sofa a little higher than Scott's.

Does this posture look familiar to you (for details, please see the Duke’s cool moves when Scott first appeared)?

!!!

Nora's pupils are shocked.JPG

"Are you asking me what my ideal type is?"

The Duke smiled and slammed his left arm onto Sheen's shoulder, making Sheen feel a critical hit.

click!

Dislocated shoulder?

“???” Sean’s eyes widened.

Fortunately, my body is strong, otherwise it would not be as simple as a dislocated shoulder, but half of my body would be torn apart...

From Nora's perspective, Sheen is surprisingly "intact": although the Duke's magic power is a little lacking, his strength is beyond that of ordinary people.

Let’s just say that the Duke was able to punch a big hole in a two-ton steel plate.

Nora's eyes were fixed on Sheen's shoulder, which was hit by the Duke, and she wondered whether she should call a therapist for him.

"what..."

Sheen's eyes widened before he realized that he had just been "catapulted".

Although I know...the Duke did this...to show his friendship.

But... this is really...

So enthusiastic!

If it weren't for the armrest of the sofa blocking it, Sean's butt would have wanted to make a "back, back, back" motion...

Scott, who was sitting to Sheen's left, was stunned:

No, is Sheen's shoulder really okay?!

Nora stared at the Duke:

"James?"

"I was wrong (I will dare to do it again next time)."

The Duke quickly restrained himself, let go of Sheen, and returned to his seat in dejection.

Sheen put his hand on his shoulder, and after a burst of golden magic his shoulder was fine.

"Luckily, we're acquaintances. If you were so unrestrained in front of strangers, would your reputation be able to withstand it?" (Nora)

"I really just found a good topic...Since we got married, no one has asked me about my ideal type. Suddenly someone asked me this, and I was so excited..." (James)

"Unload others?" Nora rolled her eyes at the Duke.

Duke: “…”

Scott was stunned - was this the mutual understanding between two straight men?

It turns out that men understand men!

The madness is over.

James sat back in his seat, closed his eyes and thought carefully:

"Well... I didn't think too much when I was young. But I like people who are older than me. I think a gentle 'sister' can give me a sense of security..."
