She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1168

Chapter 1168 Planning on Their Own

At noon today, Miles was absent again. As usual, Libby brought lunch to Casper. This time, he didn't try to persuade her to rest more and instead happily finished all the food and said with a smile,

"Mom, your cooking is still so delicious. Whether I get married or not in the future, I will always rely on you and be with you forever."

Upon hearing this, Libby's face instantly changed color. Her hands on her knees unconsciously clenched into fists. Casper discreetly glanced at her reaction but continued speaking with a smile,

"When I was abroad before, what I missed most was your cooking."

Hearing this sentence made Libby's shoulders tremble uncontrollably. Afraid of revealing her emotions, she instinctively avoided Casper's gaze and looked down at the ground without realizing that such an action reflected her true feelings.

"Mom," for once Casper took the initiative to hold Libby's hand himself while ignoring her slight trembling. He spoke in a filial tone that sounded genuine,

"It hasn't been easy for me all these years since leaving home. Thank you for always tolerating me and taking care of me. I am truly grateful."

Although she knew that he wasn't really their biological son, his face resembled his as did his tone of voice when holding her hands warmly like this one did now.

"Is that so?" asked Libby softly.

"Of course it is! I am your only son after all and feel fortunate enough to be yours," replied Casper meaningfully.

Upon hearing this statement from him while looking into those eyes so similar to their real son's made Libby's heart skip a beat, causing her quickly look away again while quietly responding,

"Mmm... you are our son."

Libby's simple sentence had numerous loopholes, especially when heard by Casper, who already knew the truth. But as a mother, sometimes maternal love was just that irrational, even when facing a disguised face, maternal love still got involuntarily triggered.

Perhaps it was because she missed him too much?

Originally, Casper had doubts about Nia's honesty, but now Libby's reactions had confirmed her words. Without any hesitation, Casper let go of Libby's hands and turned to say,

"The shareholders' meeting is just ten days away. There is still much work left for me to prepare for it, Mom, so why don't you go back first? If you get sick again later on, then my heart will ache even more."

Libby felt stabbing pain in her heart as she covered its location unconsciously laughing and awkwardly saying,

"Okay, don't be too busy. If you really can't handle it, let your dad help. After all, he's been through it."

"Okay." Casper smiled at Libby like an innocent child.
