She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 53

"Arthur..." Lucia sighed resignedly.

"Arthur, Lucia, and Theodore are just leaving a few days ahead of us. Don't make it like you'll never see her again." It never occurred to Sophie that Arthur could be so indecisive. She was both amused and annoyed.

"Can we go now?" Knowing that she had pushed Arthur's button, Sophie apologized and urged him.

"Let's go. Come, Theodore. Give daddy a hug," Arthur said to Theodore, who was reading on the couch.

On hearing his father's calling, Theodore walked over and raised his arms high. And Arthur lifted him up. Though Theodore said nothing, he hugged Arthur tightly to show his reluctance to leave.

While Arthur was holding Theodore in his arms, tenderness came into his eyes. Lucia noticed it and instantly grabbed her baggage, hoping to go out first, but Arthur gripped her as soon as she made a step.

"Let me help you." He was unwilling to let her do any heavy work.

"Then I'll hold Theodore." Lucia proposed, afraid that Arthur would get exhausted, but her advice was turned down immediately.

"Don't even think about it." He glanced at her and went out with one hand holding Theodore, the other dragging the baggage.

Lucia and Sophie exchanged a look. Both of them were amused and could do nothing about it at the same time.

When they went downstairs, Lucia took the passenger's seat first. Sophie and Theodore took the back seats.

Lucia didn't want to put Arthur in a dilemma of arranging the seats, so she let Sophie be seated in the back.

Arthur was moved by her consideration. He was holding his hand while they were waiting for Theodore to fasten the seatbelt. He was really reluctant to part with her.

Lucia silently held his hand tight and gave him a big smile.

When Theodore was ready, Arthur let go of Lucia's hand and started the engine, driving them to the airport.

With Theodore in the car, the car was filled with laughter and happiness on its way. Arthur didn't want Lucia to leave, and Sophie didn't want her grandson to leave.

The elder one and the young kid chatted with each other, enjoying the rare peaceful moments.

At last, they arrived at the airport. As soon as Arthur arrived, A staff member whose duty was receiving shareholders came to help them carry the luggage, which allowed Arthur some time to say goodbye to Lucia.

Arthur's arm held Theodore and the other arm was put around Lucia's waist.

Theodore comforted Arthur, "Mommy and I will be waiting for you in the USA. Come and find us soon, Daddy."

He sensitively noticed that his parents were reluctant to part with each other.

Honestly, he didn't want to be separated from his daddy, either, but he didn't show his reluctance after he saw his mommy's red-rimmed eyes. Instead, he played a part in livening the atmosphere.

"I will. Theodore, you should be your mommy's good boy and wait for me to pick you up, okay?" said Arthur softly. He could not help kissing Theodore on his soft little cheek.

At the same time, Lucia buried her face in Arthur's neck, fearing her tears would flow down the minute she looked up.

Not long after, the airport staff came to remind Lucia that it was time for boarding.
