Sheena smirked. "You're thinking, how could anyone be such a jerk, right?"
Natasha's cheeks flushed. She really was thinking that, but she did not dare say it out loud.
Andrew sat there with a headache, silently listening as Sheena bragged about Reginald. He could not even find anything to argue with because that was exactly Reginald's personality.
Sheena explained, "You're wrong. Uncle Reginald wasn't a jerk. He was just too damn charming, plus he used to be the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince. Back then, our royal house was at its peak.
"Whether it was inside Holtrien or abroad, we were a powerhouse on another level. When Uncle Reginald traveled overseas, his treatment was no different from that of a crown prince. And that's not even half of it. Once you meet him in person, you'll understand what true charisma truly means.
"Countless women threw themselves at him, expecting nothing in return, risking everything just to be near him. And since our Lloyd royal family had the wealth and power, the family expected Uncle Reginald to spread his bloodline and make us stronger. Naturally, over time, women were all around him."
Sheena grinned and pointed at Andrew. "Just look at him now. Doesn't he seem to be charming women left and right?"
Andrew was speechless. "Hey, why are you dragging me into this out of nowhere?"
Aspen said softly, "Andrew doesn't chase women; it's just that women can't help falling for him. And honestly, we end up liking the women he brings to us, too."
Sheena slapped her forehead and shook her head. "See? Her reaction right now is exactly identical to how those infatuated ladies reacted to Uncle Reginald back in the day.
"Speaking of which, Uncle Reginald and Andrew are both troublemakers. Both father and son are cut from the exact same cloth. But this is a wonderful thing! You should have lots of babies for him. The more the better!
"The Lloyd family royal line lacks everything except money, resources, and methods. As long as you can bear them, the family will step in directly and fully cultivate them into super geniuses."
Natasha's face flushed with embarrassment.
When he turned back, he caught Natasha and Aspen staring at him with unreadable looks.
Andrew sighed. "What are you two looking at me like that for?"
Natasha smiled. "Aspen dear, I'll clear the dishes and wash them. You go warm the bed first, then invite our darling to join us, okay?"
Aspen giggled. "Sounds good! After I'm done here, hurry and join us. Tonight, we're going all out."
Andrew shook his head. He could not handle this.
He absolutely could not take it.
