She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 313

But even in this case, Lucia still didn't forget to be grateful, and it went without saying that she thanked Bradley in person. She also specially asked Arthur to call Edwin and thank him in person.

"Edwin, now that Jacob has been convicted, I really appreciate your help." After the call was connected, Lucia whispered her thanks, especially since she knew that Edwin rarely used his connection with Bradley. After he spoke for her this time, she was even more grateful.

"Don't stand on ceremony. You are Arthur's girlfriend, the mother of my precious grandson Teddy. I should have come forward no matter what." Edwin never felt like he was helping Lucia, because in his eyes, Lucia was already a family member.

"Edwin, you should miss Teddy very much." Lucia felt inexplicably sad when Edwin mentioned Theodore. He was obviously Teddy's grandfather, but he couldn't see his grandson anytime and anywhere.

"Yeah, I really want to. I know Teddy is with Esmae now. I beg you. If you can, bring him back. If you are busy, let Teddy stay with me. Even if I retire now, I will take good care of my grandson," said Edwin.

Lucia pursed her lips when she heard this, and her nose was slightly sour. If her father was still there, he would probably love Teddy like this.

"I will definitely bring Teddy back as soon as possible, but... I hope you can understand. Esmae has been kind to me. She is like my second mother. I know some things need to stick to principles, but many times, I will give priority to kindness." Lucia said softly about her difficulties, hoping Edwin could understand.

Regarding the trip to Chicago in a few days, the person with the most negative attitude was actually Lucia, because she knew that the possibility of making Esmae soft-hearted was very low. At that time, there may be a choice between kindness and love. Before that moment, Lucia didn't dare to promise Arthur that she would choose him without hesitation, because Esmae was really, really important to her.

Edwin sighed after hearing Lucia's words, and asked her, "I understand you, but Arthur probably doesn't know about your idea."

"I didn't tell him that," Lucia replied calmly. Even now on the phone with Edwin, she avoided Arthur on purpose,

"Arthur values our relationship very much. In his eyes, our relationship always comes first. Maybe he can understand my gratitude to Esmae, but he can't feel the same way. But I will still try my best to get my her understanding."

"It's embarrassing for you to do that, Lucia," Edwin said with a bit of loss. "Actually, there is nothing between you and Arthur. It is the grudge between me and her that affects you."

"Don't say that, Edwin. It wasn't all your fault that happened back then. She is stubborn and likes to take unnecessary pains, so once she holds grudges, it's hard for her to be open-minded and come out." Lucia comforted Edwin in return.

Edwin listened to Lucia's words and praised in his heart. Lucia was knowledgeable and can see things from both sides. She will not be biased against objective facts just because of subjective feelings. This kind of character was really a perfect match for Arthur.

"I wish you all the best." Edwin turned his blessing into a simple sentence, sending his love to Lucia.

"Thank you." Lucia expressed her gratitude again, and the two hung up after saying goodbye.
