She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 389

Reynolds said guiltily, and lowered his head to kiss Lucia's forehead. Lucia didn't seem to mind his movement, but Arthur, who was sitting beside the hospital bed, mind it very very!

Arthur raised his brows and stared at Reynolds. The man in front of him was handsome and unpretentious, and his facial features were mostly inherited from Esmae. Although he still retained the profound features of Europe and America nationalities, he also had the warm and classical characteristics of oriental man. Seeing Lucia and Theodore showing great enthusiasm for his arrival, Arthur was jealous.

After Reynolds apologized to Lucia, he immediately went to the bed and hugged Theodore, not ignoring his feeling because Teddy was young, saying,

"Baby Teddy, I'm sorry for not coming back to accompany you at the first time. I will keep in touch with you at any time in the future. No matter what happens to you, I will be the first to protect you."

Theodore was overjoyed to hear Reynolds say that, hugged his neck happily and said, "Reynolds, I miss you."

"Well, listen to me..." Reynolds started chatting with Theodore, just as Helena walked up to Lucia's side.

"Lucia, Reynolds just contacted me yesterday, and he came back immediately after I told him about Teddy."

"Well, it's good to be back. After all Teddy likes him so much." Lucia nodded in response, and was happy to see Theodore so happy.

Arthur listened to what Lucia and Helena said. Although he knew from the name that Reynolds was Esmae's second son, he was still not used to the intimacy between them, especially what Reynolds said to Theodore, as if he was Teddy's father. Hiding his displeasure, he asked Lucia,

"Lucia, won't you introduce me?"

Lucia then realized that she hadn't introduced Reynolds' identity to Arthur, so she took Arthur's hand and said,

"Arthur, this is Reynolds, the second son of Esmae. He takes good care of me and Teddy. Shawn is a little more indifferent, and Helena is always playful, so Reynolds is more like my brother who is also a teacher and friend. He not only takes good care of our lives, but is also a mentor on the road of my life. He recommended me to go to MIT when I applied for it. Although he looks so, he is a well-known scholar who graduated from Harvard. He is always invited to give speeches at famous universities in various countries, so he came back later this time."

"Lucia, what do you mean by ‘although I look so' ?" Hearing Lucia's words, Reynolds turned his head and smiled. "Do I look very different?"

"Of course not," Lucia smiled and said, "Just looking at you, you look more like a business elite than a scholar."

"Then I'll wear glasses next time." Reynolds laughed.

"By the way, Reynolds, this is Teddy's dad, my love, Arthur. You should have heard of him." After a few words with Reynolds, Lucia introduced Arthur to him.

"Nice to meet you." Reynolds glanced at Arthur and reached out to him across the bed.

Arthur wanted to politely give a handshake, but after meeting Reynolds' eyes, he was sensitively aware of the looming hostility in his eyes, and his look was definitely not friendly. So, Arthur stopped for a few seconds.

"What? Do you look down on me?" Reynolds joked, but his eyes were sharp at Arthur.

"Of course not. It's nice to meet you." Arthur took Reynolds' hand in response, and the two men looked at each other. For some reason, they started to face each other.

Lucia and Helena quickly sensed the secret rivalry between the two, and looked at each other, both helpless. Of course they knew that Reynolds was hostile to Arthur, because...

When Reynolds was coaxing Theodore again, Helena gave Arthur a look to let him out of the ward with her, and explained the reason to him in the hallway.
