She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 238

Theodore seemed to understand the complexity in Lucia's eyes and raised his hand to wipe his tears and responded, "Mommy, I understand and I will always be good and listen to Grandma Esmae and wait for Mommy and Daddy to pick me up."

Lucia took Theodore's small body into her arms, not letting him see her tearful eyes.

At 9 p.m. Lucia and Theodore returned to Chicago, where they met Brown's butler and ten male servants at the airport.

Lucia saw the situation and found it both funny and annoying. Was she planning to arrest them?

"William!" As soon as he saw the butler, Theodore jumped over excitedly. William, the butler, had always been very good to Theodore, and because he was a bit older and always treated him as his grandson, Theodore was very close to him.

"Mr. Teddy," William smiled at the sight of Theodore, picking him up before saying to Lucia.

"Miss Lucia, Mrs. Brown is waiting for you."

"I know." Lucia responded and followed them to the car.

In the car, Theodore excitedly told William about what happened in Hawaii and the beautiful scenery. William lovingly looked at him and listened to what he said. Only Lucia was silent all the way, looking out the window. No one knew what she was thinking.

Finally, they arrived at Browns Manor. William held Theodore in his arms as soon as he got off the car, said to Lucia that Brown was in the study and then took the child upstairs first. It should also be an order of Esmae in advance.

Taking a deep breath, Lucia walked toward Esmae's study.

Knocking on the door, she heard Esmae say, "You're willing to come back?"

A single sentence revealed Esmae's unresolved anger.

Lucia had a forced smile and walked into the study, answering in a low voice, "I'm back."

Esmae watched Lucia walk into the study and gestured with her eyes for her to sit down on the couch before Lucia spoke.

"Esmae, Teddy misses his dad. Arthur is Teddy's father anyway. I can't let my child's expectations go unfulfilled."

Looking at Esmae, Lucia sincerely explained her intentions.

"So you'd rather lie to me." Esmae said coldly.

"I'm sorry I kept this from you." Lucia said with undertone to express her apology.

"Lucia, you forget who sent Teddy to me months ago, crying to me about Arthur's treachery, do you remember?" Esmae intoned.

"It's me," Lucia admitted, "but ..."

"The father of the child does not have to be only Arthur, and a father's love is not something that only a biological father can give. Just as I treat you, I believe I love you enough to call it a mother's love." Esmae looked at Lucia and said, and the words seemed to have a deeper meaning.

"Of course, the impression of my mother faded long ago, and it was you who made me feel motherly love again." Lucia's eyes were already slightly moist when she said this.

Esmae's kindness to herself was something she had not forgotten.

"So you'll listen to me, won't you?" Esmae asked Lucia seriously.
