The moment Admiral Clan and Duke Cecilia appeared, Lu Xiao realized she was no longer alone and helpless in this world. She didn't just have Ares; she had her father and grandmother too.
For the first time in this strange world, she felt a sense of belonging.
Lu Ge Wei watched Lu Xiao walk toward Cecilia, her eyes filled with unconcealable jealousy.
But she said, "Mother, you've misunderstood. I was just joking with Xiao Xiao. I can't believe we troubled you to come all this way."
She knew full well that Cecilia was only sitting here now because of Admiral Clan.
But she didn't dare scold Admiral Clan in front of Cecilia. That would be a direct slap in the face to the Galiodro family.
Cecilia gave Lu Ge Wei a cold look as she tried to smooth things over.
