She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 460

"That's what you came to me in the wee hours of the morning? No way," said Esmae decisively. "I've promised Arthur."

"The paperwork isn't done yet, so what are they gonna do if you go back on your words?" Spencer said, without principle. What he said raised questions about his character.

Walking up to Spencer, Esmae looked him straight in the eye and said seriously,

"Spencer, Teddy was born under my watch. I have loved him since. He is like my biological grandson. I will never let him suffer. Do you understand what I mean?"

Spencer was stunned. Faced with Esmae's sharp eyes, he couldn't say anything insincere but,

"But then Lucia won't be so comfortable around me."

That was what Spencer really wanted to keep Theodore.

Esmae sneered from the bottom of her heart and said, "I advise you to start with your feelings. Don't think of using anyone to blackmail Lucia. After all, blackmail can't last forever. Teddy is slowly recovering from his illness. You don't have much leverage."

Spencer frowned and thought.

"Lucia is very much against you, as you might expect. If you can't overcome that, you can't win her heart. Young man, so be patient," Esmae added.

Spencer countered in his heart that he wanted her and her right right away, but on the surface, he was submissive,

"Ms. Wilson, I will."

"Be good tomorrow." Esmae nodded contentedly, reminding Spencer.

Spencer smiled and said, "Absolutely!"

The next morning, Theodore woke up to find his mother sleeping next to him. He was so happy that he screamed and hugged Lucia's neck and kissed her.

Lucia smiled gently and hugged her son, accepting his love.

"Mommy, yesterday, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, and uncle all came to see me. They even promised to bring me home," said Theodore happily, leaning in his mother's arms after he had had enough kisses.

"Teddy, do you want to be with Daddy?" Lucia asked with a smile on her face even though she was miserable.

"Yes," Theodore replied quickly, muttering to himself that he would be happier with his parents, but he knew he couldn't ask.

"Don't worry, Mommy. I will listen to Daddy from now on."

"Teddy I'm sorry." Knowing her son's consideration, Lucia's eyes turned red and she hugged her son tightly to apologize.

"You don't have to apologize," said Theodore, holding his beloved mother in his arms,

"I will wait for you to come back for us."

Lucia looked into her son's bright eyes and asked, "Teddy, do you think I will ever come back to Daddy?"

"Of course!" Theodore said. "All princesses and princes who love each other can be together. So can you and daddy! I believe that!"

"Okay, I promise you that I would come back to you one day. Until then, you have to stay by your Daddy's side, but don't tell him about our conversation today, okay?" Lucia promised her son seriously.
