She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 21

They told him something, then Arthur hung up the phone.

Sophie knew who had called. She kept on at him after he hung up the phone, "How is it going? What's the result? Is Theodore my grandson? Shall we go upstairs now?"

Arthur was bothered by Sophie's eagerness, "Nope. Considering the secrecy of DNA test report, I have to go there in person to it. It's late. Let's go home first."

"What are you gonna do if he's really your son?" Sophie asked and stared at his face.

The door of the elevator was open. Arthur went out first and said firmly, "No ifs!"

Sophie openly invited Arthur to walk Theodore to the kindergarten with her since he had known she was working as a babysitter at Lucia's home.

But Arthur rejected Sophie's offer directly.

Sophie pouted her mouth secretly. She just wanted to offer Arthur the chance to spend more time with Theodore.

Lucia's working hours were fixed but Arthur's was not. He could seek the chance to make his relationship with Theodore work.

Arthur didn't understand Sophie's good intentions and went to the office as usual, while Sophie just had to go on her own.

Arthur had never been so eager in his life so far. He opened several documents in the office but he couldn't read a word of them. He grabbed the car key and ran out of the office when it turned eleven o'clock.

Arthur was standing at the gate of Theodore's kindergarten at 3:30 p.m.

The gate of the kindergarten was closed. It was late autumn but the weather was good for outdoor activities. The kids were playing in the playground. Through the gate, he could see the kids running joyfully.

Arthur found Theodore playing near the slide at the first sight. At the moment, he'd got really complicated feelings.

The test report said they were father and son. Sophie's initial gut feeling was right.

The playground was full of all different kinds of sounds now. The kids were laughing, crying and screaming. Arthur couldn't stand these noises in the past, but he just bore with it and watched Theodore playing there.

Suddenly, he saw a little chubby boy push a little girl who was climbing up the stairs. The little girl had been playing with Theodore. As expected, Theodore saw it and came over to protect her.

They confronted each other. He saw Theodore speaking to the chubby boy and the latter was very unhappy, retorted and turned around to leave. But the little chubby boy kicked Theodore on the ankle while he was turning around. Theodore didn't move at all. It seemed he was fine.

Arthur frowned and knocked at the gate the next second.

Arthur met Theodore's teacher, told her what he had seen just now, and requested her to discipline the little chubby boy. However, the teacher seemed to be in a dilemma. Arthur kept asking and found the little boy's parents happened to be one of the shareholders of the kindergarten. The little boy was spoiled and usually made trouble, but she couldn't do anything with him.

Arthur knitted his eyebrows slightly and stared at her with his dark green eyes, "If this is how you educate the kids, we'll have to get the lawyers involved."

The teacher sized Arthur up and stared at the Rolls-Royce Phantom outside the kindergarten for a few seconds. She didn't hear that Theodore was from a very rich and powerful family, but Arthur was surely a somebody! She couldn't afford to offend either side of them.
