She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1096

Chapter 1096 Step One

Afterwards, Edwin and Sophie returned to Athegate with his children and grandchildren, and the villa instantly became crowded again. The most surprising thing was that Esmae had also returned, although Chris did not come with her because he was still busy.

"After raising our grandson for so long, he changes his surname and becomes someone else's. It's difficult to hold Teddy. He's increasingly heavy," Esmae grumbled as she struggled to pick him up. She gave Edwin and Sophie a reproachful glance before deliberately speaking her mind.

This sentence made both Edwin and Sophie laugh, and Sophie walked over to Esmae and raised her voice, saying,

"What are you lamenting about? Isn't the surname also your grandson or granddaughter? When Helena is pregnant, we will have one more grandson or granddaughter."

After speaking, the two looked at Helena who was eating dates ambiguously, and saw that Helena's face turned red and her hands were still frozen in mid-air. Otis smiled and hugged her.

It was rare to see Helena, who was usually carefree, feeling shy. Bailey and Douglas couldn't help but laugh out loud, but they were caught by their mother's stern gaze the next second.

Bailey's heart screamed "this is not good" as he quickly stood up and laughed, "Does anyone want a drink? Shall I go get some for you?" After speaking, he ran to the bar in a hurry, afraid that his mother would start urging him to get married again.

Watching Bailey flee in a panic, Sophie couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

"Don't be in a hurry," Esmae chuckled. "Bailey is not yet settled in his mind, and pushing him to get married now will only make him act recklessly. He might end up marrying just any woman, and then you, as her mother-in-law, will have to worry about it."

"The woman who can keep Bailey tied down must be one in a million," Lucia nodded in agreement.

"Who said that?" Arthur, the wife-protecting madman at the side, immediately put his arms around Lucia's waist and said, "My woman is one in a million."

Arthur's dominance made everyone present unable to hold back their laughter, except for Lucia who was embarrassed and kept hitting him. Laughter and noise filled the villa, which was warm with the arrival of spring.

Just as everyone was laughing and making noise, Douglas suddenly burst out with a cry of surprise.

"Kylee!"

What was going on? Everyone turned their heads and saw Kylee, who was soft and wobbly, swinging her two short legs in front of the coffee table while shouting "Nanna" and walking towards Lucia.

Everyone was stunned until Kylee walked up to Lucia and hugged her leg, begging for a hug, before everyone realized what was happening.

"Oh my god! Kylee can walk now!" Sophie's voice lost all its composure.

"Kylee baby is awesome!" Esmae's smile almost reached her ears.

Lucia bent down and picked up her daughter, giving her a big kiss on her sweet, soft cheek. "My Kylee can walk now!"

Arthur was still a bit dazed. Kylee had always been passed around from person to person, but today he saw her wobbling towards them on unsteady legs. The feeling of seeing his little girl grow up in that moment was so strong that he couldn't help but give her a kiss too. At the same time, he picked up Theodore who was still excited about his sister's new milestone.
