Chapter 184: What Is Breeding Bull?
Drayce nodded while Seren was curious where they were going next.
"Wah! Uncle Arlan, are we really going out?" Rayjin asked.
"Of course, you naughty little girl. We need to be good hosts to our guests," Arlan replied.
"Sadly, I can\'t accompany you all," Alvera commented, looking a little regretful about not being able to go with them. Ever since she entered the household of the Duke of Wimark years ago, she was rarely able to step out of the duchal residence, both due to her duties of raising Rayjin as well as her tasks as a lady of the house. It only became harder now she\'s heavy with a child again. Not to mention, her two younger brothers were both adults with busy lives of their own, and as such, spending time together like the old days was a chance hard to get by.
Seeing her low mood, Arlan turned towards Lenard while shaking his head. "Oh, our poor sister! She must have no strength to play with us since Duke Wimark keeps her busy with his extreme activities."
Lenard nodded, even deliberately looking at his sister\'s round belly. "I think he should stop at three, or our sister will end up being a breeding cow."
Alvera threw a? killing gaze at her mischievous brothers. "How dare you two disrespect my husband?"
Arlan immediately defended himself. "I said nothing. It\'s Lenard!"
Lenard was taken aback. He was simply teasing his elder sister. "When did I disrespect him?"
Arlan was smart enough to make the connection. He patted his brother\'s shoulder and said, "By calling our sister a breeding cow, you have implied that her husband is a breeding bull."
Leonard\'s face turned awkward.. "Well,? Sister...I didn\'t mean that. My apologies. Besides, the more children, the more prosperous the family..."
"You should be careful when you know how much our sister loves her husband," Arlan added, acting like a good brother.
Lenard passed him a displeased look. "Brother, you are the one to start it. You always do this. Why do I even fall for it?"
Someone there who was angrier at them and spoke out loud. "I will tell Father that Uncle Lenard called him a bull!" Rayjin stood there with an angry pout on her lips.
Lenard immediately kneeled in front of her and offered her a wide smile. "I never said that word, didn\'t I?"
"Uncle Arlan said you did! And you called Mother a breeding cow!"
"I apologized to Sister, so no need to mention this to the duke. Be a good girl and keep Uncle\'s mistake a secret, alright?" Lenard knew the character of his niece so he decided to coax her. "What do you want? Uncle will give you anything since you\'re a good girl."
"Anything?" Rayjin repeated.
"Hmm." Lenard nodded.
"I know what a bull is, but what is a breeding bull?" the little girl asked.
Lenard felt like he had willingly stepped on thorns knowing they would hurt him and turned to look at his older sister and older brother for help.
"Answer her now," was what Alvera said, while Arlan shrugged his shoulders, as if to say, "Even I don\'t know what it means."
Seren who was silently observing these siblings also turned curious. She was also interested in knowing what a breeding bull is. Her expectant gaze was not missed by her husband.
\'We have one more little girl here who knows nothing,\' Drayce thought.
"Rayjin, why use Uncle\'s promise for a mere question? Come, let\'s hurry to go out and buy you whatever you want."
The little girl insisted. "No, I want to know it! Is it a magical bull?"
"No, it\'s not an animal…"
"But a bull is an animal. Mother taught me!"
Knowing how stubborn this little girl could be, Lenard reluctantly cleared his throat. "Well, it is a term used to refer to men. it means... a man who loves his wife a lot. Your father loves your mother a lot so he is a breeding bull."
"Ohh," Rayjin said with her tiny lips pouted out as saying big O and looked like she understood it clearly.
Just like her, Seren too learned a new fascinating term, but only one man was paying attention to her and realized this.
Seeing her niece\'s expression, Lenard added, "But don\'t tell men these straight to their faces, or they will get very very embarrassed!"
However, whether Rayjin would listen or not, nobody knew.
Lenard stood up, feeling like he had just saved a world, but his happiness didn\'t last long as he realized the strange atmosphere in the drawing-room.
Arlan mumbled to his sister, "I hope your daughter won\'t go around calling each married man a breeding bull."
Alvera too looked worried and said in a low voice, "I am having a bad feeling about it too. Our little brother needs a nice beating from me."
"I will always support you. Just beat up him nicely," Arlan whispered back.
While these two were busy conspiring against their little brother, they didn\'t know the worry they had would come true at this very moment.
Rayjin looked at Drayce and asked, "Dray, do you love your wife a lot too? Are you a breeding bull too? "
Drayce, who was initially smiling over the little girl\'s conversation with her uncle, froze in shock. He looked at Seren who happened to be looking back at him as well. Her purple eyes held curiosity, but what question they were, he didn\'t know.
The other three in the room were equally shocked, and they exchanged meaningful gazes with each other.
Drayce didn\'t know how to answer. It was easy to simply agree with the child, but it would be hard to clear up what he was agreeing to with his own wife, as it would not be the truth. Or at least, not the entire truth. He still had to explain to her what happened this morning...
