She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 77

The night before the trip, Sophie cooked a exquisite meal for the children. The soup was thick and fragrant. And they were laughing at the table, an atmosphere that had not had in Lucia's family for a long time.

After dinner, while Theodore pestered Arthur, Sophie and Lucia chatted for a while.

"Lucia, this time after we're back to New York, Edwin and I will probably go to Esmae together. After this, what I am most afraid of is that she will reproach you how we know her whereabouts. So if she looks for you, just say you don't know." Sophie did not want to make things difficult for Lucia because of her and Edwin.

"Sophie, it's okay," Lucia smiled and said, "Esmae is kind to me, but I know clearly now that Arthur is a person I can't part with. If there is no way to do both, I will still fight not to hurt him again."

"Lucia, I really appreciate it." Sophie looked at Lucia's softly glowing pupils and was really happy for Arthur to meet this kind-hearted woman.

"Sophie, don't say such things. It is I who should thank Arthur. To be honest, the hurt I once suffered has long made me disappointed to love, but he let me know I can still have the right to happiness in this life. To meet him, I am really grateful ... and thank you for your understanding of me. Until now, you did not force me to let Theodore find his origin."

"This is not a problem. When you and Arthur get married, Theodore will naturally know it." Sophie smiled ambiguously.

Lucia's face flushed at the words and she couldn't help but remember the last time Arthur knelt down and proposed to her.

Sophie saw Lucia blush, and continued, "I'm still expecting you will have another child."

"Sophie..." Realizing that Sophie was deliberately saying that, the blush on Lucia's face deepened at a visible rate, and she was somewhat displeased that her face was going to burn up if she continued like this.

Sophie can't stop smiling. At this point between her and Lucia, there was a more intimate relationship than between daughter-in-law and mother-in-law. She was willing to treat her like a daughter.

That night, Sophie took Theodore back to the villa to stay, because early tomorrow morning they had to leave directly from there. Arthur had foot injury so he can not send them, and asked Jan to take good care of his mother and son on the way. When parting, Lucia let Theodore listen to his grandmother's words. If there was anything to tell her, just make a video call.

Theodore was already independent. Leaving his mother will not be as uneasy as other four-year-olds. In turn, he comforted his mother not to worry about him, and even patted his chest to assure his father that he will take good care of his grandmother. He looked so sweet that Sophie kissed him on the cheek.

After Sophie and Theodore left, Arthur and Lucia were left at home, and later, the two encountered a big problem.

While in the hospital, because Kyle was in the ward at all times, Arthur's bathing problem was handled by himself. Now, they were back home, and this responsibility naturally fell on Lucia ...

At first, Lucia suggested that Arthur simply did not take a bath. Anyway, it was now winter, but Arthur had always been accustomed to the daily bath. So he begged Lucia to help him. If she was not willing, he would take a bath himself but Lucia was not willing either.

"Do you have to take a bath? I'll just get a towel and wipe your body, right?" Lucia was dragged to the bathroom by Arthur. For several times, she tried to escape but was pulled by him. The good thing was Arthur did not let Lucia help him undress. Otherwise Lucia probably would have smashed the door and fled.

"There you go." Arthur said to Lucia, who had her back turned, after he had undressed.

Lucia took a deep breath and turned around with great difficulty, only to find that Arthur had a bath towel around his waist.

"What? Disappointed?" Arthur teased Lucia with a bad smile on his face.

Lucia glared at Arthur, quietly cursing herself. Why was she disappointed in that moment just now!? But the good thing was that this guy knew how to cover up his body!

Although Arthur was not naked, after all, the upper half of the body was still naked. Lucia only glanced at him and felt her face burning hot. Arthur's body was lean with tight and firm muscles.

"Have you seen enough?" Arthur asked Lucia and felt amused. Although she looked shy, she was still staring at his chest.

Lucia's face burned up.

It was not easy to help Arthur finish the shower. Lucia only felt physically and mentally exhausted. Just now, whether it was because the fog was too heavy in the bathroom, when helping Arthur wipe his body, she always felt dizzy, as if there was something to gush out from her nose. But the good one was she did not really have nosebleed. Otherwise Lucia would be embarrassed in her life in front of Arthur.

Once out of the bathroom, the dry air brought Lucia to life.

Seeing Lucia's obvious relief, Arthur deliberately reminded her, "We'll have to continue tomorrow night."

"Arthur!" Lucia finally got annoyed. This guy knew he was shy and still acted like this, so she didn't care that he had a foot injury and pounced on him. Arthur was directly pounced on the wall by Lucia. It looked like he was kabe-don by Lucia.

"What do you want to do!" Arthur, still not giving up on teasing Lucia, asked in a deliberately flustered tone.

Lucia was instantly amused. Seeing that he wanted to laugh as well, Lucia's eyes really can not move away from him. She sighed secretly that the way they got along was really good ... Who said only men were active in the relationship? She could take the initiative herself.

When thinking so, she suddenly raised her hand to hold the back of Arthur's head, pulled him down when he was slightly surprised, and instantly kissed Arthur's lips.

Arthur froze.

After the kiss, Lucia opened her eyes and smiled sweetly.

In the following days, Arthur did not go to the company because he wanted to recuperate, and ordered Kyle or other staff to do important business through video conferencing. While Lucia had also taken a leave of absence, the two nestled in the warmth of their home, away from the coldest winds of winter. And their relationship grew stronger.

On the other hand, Sophie took Theodore back to the Davies family in New York, where grandfather and grandson met for the first time.

On the way home, Sophie told Theodore in advance that his grandfather was a very serious and unsmiling person. But if he talked more, he will be like a child. Theodore kept this in mind. The first time he saw Edwin, who did not recognize him, he called out "Grandpa". The wrinkles on Edwin's face, which had been carved by habit because he had been serious for a long time, immediately stretched out and his heart melted.

Theodore was not a person who was afraid of strange people. Edwin was only serious when he was in charge of the company because he needed to assume the posture so that he can better manage his subordinates. He was a sunny man but had become less and less smiling day by day. But in the face of Theodore, his little grandson, his nature was restored at once.

Theodore and Arthur looked exactly alike when Arthur was a child. Edwin could not help but feel close to him when he saw him.
