Lady Rafaelde also sent a voice call to Smelian. He happened to not be in surgery and answered it. Before he could speak, Lady Rafaelde got straight to the point: "Was Xiangxiang born from the Duke's natural conception?"
Smelian hadn't expected Lady Rafaelde to be calling him about this, but he quickly pieced things together. 'The twins were just born, so Cecil must have informed Lady Daina. And with the news of the natural conception already spreading, Lu Xia probably isn't planning to hide it anymore.'
Having figured this out, Smelian didn't deny it. "Yes, it's true. We didn't tell you before because the time wasn't right. Now that you know, please don't spread it around for the time being. Xiaxia is still recuperating, and we don't want to cause her any extra stress."
