She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1050

Chapter 1050 Surprise

Snowflakes were falling all around, and people shivered as they walked outside. But no amount of cold could dampen the warmth of the Davis family's reunion on Christmas Eve. Nothing could stop them from going home - not even mountains or rivers. Finally, on December 24th, Douglas, the last brother in the Davis family to return from school, arrived home and joined his siblings once again.

"Teddy! Baby!" Douglas rushed into the living room and immediately hugged his nephew and niece before playing with Theodore to make him laugh. His brothers watched with amusement.

"Douglas!" Bailey pretended to be cold as he asked him a question. "You don't say hello to Mom and Dad or us when you come back? You only remember your nephew and niece."

Bailey had no right to say that since he did exactly what Douglas did yesterday when he returned home. Especially with Theodore - he loved teasing him because it made Theodore mad at himself for not understanding something.

As the eldest brother in charge of keeping everyone honest, Otis had an obligation to expose his lies, "Don't talk about Douglas like that! Yesterday you came back just like this too! And Teddy got angry because you hugged him too much!"

"Bailey..." Upon hearing Otis' words, Douglas immediately smiled mischievously at him.

"Otis! Can't you let me have my moment?" Bailey covered his mouth as if coughing twice.

"Alright alright," Arthur said sternly while taking back his son and daughter from them. "If you want to argue so badly, then go somewhere else where my kids won't get hurt."

But Bailey and Douglas refused; they each held one child tightly while avoiding Arthur's grasp. Even Arthur couldn't resist joining in their fun this time around; Theodore laughed uncontrollably while even the baby giggled along with them all day long. With such innocent laughter filling Davies Manor that day, it felt warm enough like springtime inside despite being so cold outside.

Lucia and Otis watched their brothers play together without knowing whether they should cry or laugh; Edwin couldn't help but smile either despite usually being serious all the time; Sophie was always gentle but now she was laughing out loud too!

If anyone saw how these fierce warriors who ruled over business deals acted so silly at home together, then they would be shocked beyond belief!

"You guys, don't fall on Teddy and the baby, and don't even listen to your mother?" Sophie finally can't stand to watch, chasing Bailey to bring her granddaughter back, and the three of them finally calmed down.

Theodore laughed, sweating profusely. He returned to his father's embrace, still giggling. Even the little baby was babbling and waving her hands, looking adorable. Arthur felt his heart warm at the sight.

After everyone had finished playing around, they sat down to chat.

"Otis, I called Auntie and asked when they are coming over. She wouldn't tell me anything and neither would Helena. What are you guys planning?" Lucia asked Otis, remembering something that had happened earlier.

"Yeah! I saw Otis sneaking out all secretive-like a few times yesterday too! Weren't Auntie and Uncle supposed to come celebrate with us?" Bailey chimed in.

Otis remained calm and collected as he smiled but didn't answer their questions.

"You're always so sly like this, Otis! You really inherited Dad's cunning!" Bailey teased him but got a stern glare from their father in response.

"Let it go," Sophie said with a smile. "Maybe they're already on their way."

"Sophie, is that true?" Lucia couldn't help but ask even though she didn't doubt her words at all. But Sophie seemed extra sweet when she said it...
