She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 59

"It's okay. Eat some more." Being unaffected, Sophie continued to cook breakfast and asked Lucia to wait in the dining room to avoid all the grease flying around the kitchen.

Being concerned by Sophie, Lucia felt even more uncomfortable. Out of guilt, she did not walk away, but insisted on standing at the door and waiting for Sophie.

Sophie saw her like this and did not say anything, and continued the work in her hands. Ten minutes later, two bowls of hot mushroom porridge were ready. Lucia saw the situation and rushed over to help bring the porridge to the dining room table.

"Sophie, haven't you had your breakfast yet?" Lucia asked when she saw that Sophie had cooked her own portion as well.

"Well, let's eat together." Sophie replied as she untied her apron and sat with Lucia, taking the lead in picking up a spoon and starting to have the porridge.

Lucia realized that Sophie had come here without breakfast, and her guilt deepened, so she could only pick up a spoon, but the breakfast in front of her tasted unappetizing.

After having half bowl of the porridge, Sophie thought the time was right, so she turned to Lucia and asked, "Lucia, Arthur came home last night and told me you broke up with him, right?"

She knew this would be asked, but Lucia frowned slightly when she heard it. And she suppressed her emotions before nodding.

"Can you tell me why?" Sophie continued to ask.

Lucia stopped eating with her question and this small action made Sophie more sure of her suspicions. Besides, Lucia looked like she had not slept all night. Her tired appearance was not deceiving. Since they loved each other, why couldn't they be together? What was the reason? Why they couldn't not compromise?

"Lucia, you know Arthur's character very well. What exactly are you giving him up for?" Sophie said while carefully observing Lucia's expression.

Sophie thought she could impress Lucia with her words, but she was disappointed when Lucia replied immediately after her words, "Sophie, I know you're all guessing if I gave up on this relationship for some other reason, but it really wasn't. I was emotionally scarred and had already built high walls outside my heart. I admit Arthur's tenderness touched me at first, but it was only temporary.

This time when we were apart in different places, I found our feelings are more built on top of having a common child only. He is certainly affectionate, but I can not rely on him because I covet a harbor from him. It is not fair, so I choose to break up with him before he has deep feelings about me."

He had long been mired in the love and hopeless!

Looking at Lucia who said these seemingly sensible words, Sophie replied quietly in her heart. However, her words really made sense, and Sophie thought twice and said again, "Lucia, a sincere relationship is very difficult to have. I believe no one knows this truth better than you, so I just want to come here today to ask the reason. I am doing this not only to defend my son, but also for you.

I am eye-witnessing you guys start dating and getting deeper and deeper in love. You said your feelings calmed down after the separation, so why didn't you make it clear from the beginning? Christmas, New Year, during this holidays, you have more than enough opportunities to break up with Arthur directly to avoid the current entanglement, but why you directly choose to avoid, and even turn off the phone and out of touch?"

Sophie felt that Lucia was simply using that time to force herself to compromise and force herself to leave Arthur.

Sure enough, Lucia was speechless and had no answer.

What kind of situation would a person be in to reveal such a complex look in her eyes?

Sophie didn't know, but she knew Lucia was on the verge of a breakdown.

It was useless to ask further. Sophie knew this clearly, so she can only sigh and say, "I know, Lucia. I don't force you, but please do not forget Arthur's deep love for you."

After speaking, Sophie did not continue to eat the remaining half bowl of porridge. She stood up and left the dinning room and went straight to the coat rack. She put on her coat and then opened the door and left. She wanted to give Lucia some time to think and weigh.

After Sophie left, Lucia was like a puppet with strings and slumped over the table to look at Sophie's remaining half bowl of porridge. And she felt bitter.

An hour later, Arthur waited until his mother shook her head and sighed. Before Sophie said anything more, he said with his own understanding, "Still the same, is it?"

Sophie looked at Arthur with distress and could only reply, "Well, Lucia is like ironclad and won't change her mind."

"Yeah?" Arthur's voice sounded like he had no strength left, and his whole body leaned into the sofa, looking disheveled as hell.

"Arthur, will you give up?" Sophie sat next to Arthur and asked tenderly.
