She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 125

"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.
