My Mommy Is A CEO

“Arthur, your wife is asking for your care. Don’t let her down.” Affected by Lucia, Edwin teased her son relaxedly.

“Dad, I know. I’ll take good care of her.” Arthur smiled, took Lucia’s hand, and kissed the back of her hand. His eyes were full of affection.

Lucia quickly withdrew her hand and lowered her head. Edwin thought she was shy and burst into laughter.

It seemed that Edwin was very satisfied with the love between the young couple.

But only Lucia and Arthur knew how shocked they felt by the intimacy just now.

Because of Arthur’s kiss, Lucia and Arthur became much more intimate with each other.

During the whole lunchtime, the “family” was very happy. The authentic dishes made Edwin very satisfied.

When the dishes were almost finished, Edwin suddenly looked at Lucia and Arthur seriously and asked, “When are you going to get married?”

In Edwin’s eyes, the sooner they got married, the better. Theodore was his grandson, and he wanted to change Theodore’s surname to Davies. This should be based on their marriage.

Edwin’s words were like a bomb exploding in the private room. Lucia, Arthur, and Sophie all froze. Their minds were in a mess.

Arthur didn’t expect that Edwin would suddenly mention this. He quickly turned his head to look at Lucia’s eyes only to find that she was looking down, thus unable to understand her mood at the moment.

Edwin didn’t notice that. Seeing Lucia hanging her head low, he thought she was shy, so he said generously,

“Lucia, you and Arthur are destined to be together. It’s really hard for you to take care of the child alone these years. On the new year holiday, I took Theodore back to visit ancestral graves. After you two get married, the Davies family will help you. I can’t promise the Davies family can do whatever for you. But with the support of me and the Davies family, no one dares to bully you!”

Edwin’s words indicated that he acknowledged Lucia as his daughter-in-law. If it was someone else, she might be grateful for it, but Lucia only felt embarrassed and sad at his words.

She didn’t have that chance anymore, did she?

Thinking of this, Lucia turned to look at Arthur. They stared into each other’s eyes for a while, and it was hard to tell how helpless and bitter they were. However, through eye contact, Lucia hinted to Arthur to solve the problem by himself.

“Dad, why did you suddenly mention this? Lucia is shy.” Arthur turned to look at Edwin and complained.

“Why can’t I mention it?” When talking to Arthur, he changed his attitude. “You two have a child and love each other very much. Marriage is just a proper thing.”

“That’s true,” replied Arthur. “But Lucia just got her career on the right track. There is no hurry to get married.”

Edwin was about to retort, but Sophie interrupted him and said, “Edwin, Lucia is a capable woman. What can you do for her? Besides, the two kids have their ideas. They will get married as soon as the time comes. Don’t worry too much.”

“Yep, I’m worried too much.” Edwin didn’t expect that Sophie would be on his son’s side.

He just wanted to have a good reason to stay with his grandson, and he thought Sophie had the same idea. But now it was like he was the only anxious one. So, he continued, “Well, do not feel anxious if they drag their feet over the marriage.”

Sophie was amused by her husband’s childishness. Well, so, she helped Lucia out of trouble this time.

Lucia hung her head low, wishing the lunch would end as soon as possible.

Finally, it was nearly 2:00 p. m. Arthur stood up and said to Edwin, “Dad, Lucia is going back to the company. I’ll send her back first. You can go back with Jan later.”

“Go ahead. Your mother and I will get around with Theodore, “Edwin stood up and replied kindly.

“Auntie Sophie, Uncle Edwin, I’ll go back to work first. Please take care of Theodore.” Seeing Edwin get up, Lucia stood up and said goodbye to them.

“Lucia, I’ll ask Arthur to send Theodore back tonight. Don’t worry. Just get on with your work.” When Lucia was about to go out, Sophie said something that all could understand except for Edwin.

“Thank you, Auntie Sophie.” Lucia turned around and gave Sophie a grateful smile. Then she left the room with Arthur.

As soon as Lucia left, Edwin complained to Sophie, “Lucia, I talked about their marriage on purpose just now to make them think about it seriously. Why don’t you help me?”

“Why are you in such a hurry?” Sophie said, patting the back of her husband’s hand, “Have you forgotten Lucia’s hatred for her enemy? Webbex Group is still under Jacob’s control. Do you think she can get married and raise the child at home without any burden?”

Edwin took a tumble. Thinking for a short while, he said, “The Davies family will assist her if she is willing.”

“What do you think of Lucia?” Sophie didn’t retort him but asked Edwin.

“She is graceful, polite, neither cringing nor arrogant, with the bottom line she insists on. I gotta say she is a precious woman.” Edwin praised her sincerely.

“So do you think she will ask us for help?” Sophie continued, “If she only relied on others for help, Esmae would have helped solve this problem a long time ago.”

Only then did Edwin understand what his wife meant.

After what had happened to Lucia, she raised her son alone and even made a lot of effort to complete her studies and achieve career success.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Such a strong and independent woman would not ask others for help.

“Got it?” Seeing Edwin’s expression, Sophie said softly.

Edwin nodded and said, “I hope she can get rid of the humiliation.”

“Grandpa, Grandma, are you talking about Mommy?” Edwin and Sophie were so absorbed in their conversation that they even forgot that there was a smart boy, Theodore, beside them.

Theodore finally asked them after listening for a long time.

“It’s not a big deal. Grandpa likes your mommy very much.” Edwin winked at Sophie. The two quickly changed the topic. Fortunately, Theodore didn’t keep asking, or they didn’t know how to answer this intelligent child.

Lucia didn’t feel relieved until she closed the door. She felt really tired in disguise.

As Lucia sighed silently, Arthur said, “Lucia, thank you.”

“I should say it. I know you and Auntie Sophie are doing this for my good.” Instead, Lucia was grateful to Arthur.

No matter how their relationship would develop, she would always remember that he helped keep Theodore for her.

“Let me drive you back to the company.” As soon as Arthur finished his words, he reached out subconsciously to hold Lucia’s hand, but Lucia quickly retracted it.
