She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 44

"Okay, Mom, it's getting late. You should go get some rest." Arthur did not need to think twice about his mother's intentions when he saw her smiling eyes. He was, of course, anxious for Lucia and Theodore to meet the rest of the family, but he did not want to make it difficult for Lucia.

Arthur knew his mother, but Sophie also knew her son very well. When she heard him tell her to go back, she knew that he was afraid that she might force Lucia again. So, she could only sigh and stand up to say to him, "Okay, let's go back home."

"Mom, let me get you down here." Arthur stood up, too, and said naturally.

"Aren't you going back?" Sophie thought he was going back to the villa with her.

"I haven't seen my son in two days. I want to spend more time with him." Arthur said to Sophie with a smile.

"You want to spend time with your son? I think you just want to spend time with your wife!"

Sure enough, the wife was always more important than the mother.

Sophie thought that herself. But she also wanted her son to spend more time with his girlfriend and son, so she did not stay longer. After saying goodbye to Lucia, she asked him to send her to Jan.

"Jan, it's foggy tonight. Be careful when you drive." Arthur stood beside the car and said to Jan, who was in the driver's seat. Although Jan had been a driver for many years, Arthur still reminded him.

"Got it, Mr. Arthur," Jan replied with a smile.

Arthur was about to leave when Sophie stopped him. "Arthur, there's something else I want to tell you."

Arthur obediently opened the door and got in the car. He sat down next to his mother and listened to what she had to say to him.

"I need you to talk to Lucia more these days." Sophie talked like she was a psychologist. "You know what Lucia's worried about. Even if she doesn't mind the rumours, she may mind that she was divorced. That child is innocent, and that's why she's afraid to meet your father and your family, and it's your job to persuade her. We're all reasonable, and I'll help you talk to the others. The most important thing is to let Lucia understand it herself."

"I got you." Arthur listened carefully and nodded.

"And Theodore doesn't know you're his father yet. This is something you should discuss with Lucia if you want to make it clear to him. Theodore is very clever. He asked me if you were dating Lucia the other say. Although usually he is just playing around with us, he will listen to us. He took some words to heart, too. Don't leave such a young child in doubt."

"Well, don't worry about Theodore. Lucia and I will clear it with him when we get the chance."

"Okay." Sophie was relieved to have her worries explained to her son, so she started to tell him, "Go be with your wife and son. I'm going back to rest."

"Okay," Arthur answered quietly.

Arthur watched Sophie leave until the car disappeared in the thick fog in the middle of the winter night, then he turned back to the apartment.

He took the elevator and reached the door of his house. The door opened by itself. Lucia looked out, saw Arthur, and smiled, "What took you so long?"

Lucia was worried about him, and Arthur smiled when he realized it. He took Lucia in his arms and went back into the warm house and replied.
