She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616 Tacit Understanding

He had a friendly smile but a cold look in his eyes. He told Ewan who gasped,

"Mr. Butler, we're friends of Lucia. She gave birth to a baby. Isn't it human nature for us to visit her? Why are you stopping us?"

Then he raised the gift box in his hand.

Ewan couldn't explain why, but he could only watch Eduard and the others walk towards the building. Immediately he returned to the villa and called Spencer to report the situation. Spencer was in a bad mood these days because of the press conference. After he knew what happened at his villa, he hurried back from the company.

Arriving at the building, Eduard and the others met Lucia and her daughter.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were both so happy and grateful that Juliana would have jumped up in her arms if she hadn't been so concerned about Lucia's recovery.

"Lucia, congratulations on giving birth to a beautiful little princess!" Juliana and Kane's son, Prince Fletcher, was already more than a year old. It was time for him to learn how to walk so mischievously. Therefore, she was very envious of the soft newborn baby in her swaddling clothes. She picked the baby up and couldn't let go.

Daphne couldn't resist touching the baby's hand, looking excited. "So cute, so beautiful..."

The baby girl seemed to hear their compliment.

Lucia was pleased to see how much Juliana and Daphne liked the baby, for she had not forgotten that they did not know that the baby was Arthur's daughter. Their affection for the baby girl was partly out of maternity, and partly out of affection for Lucia.

"Lucia, is it true what Arthur said about you almost fainting? How are you recovering?" Eduard was very fond of the baby, but first concerned about Lucia's body.

Juliana was furious at the mention of this. Before Lucia could answer, she said unhappily, "Arthur was the one taking care of Lucia, but Spencer is so shameless to say that he did everything. How shameless!"

Lucia smiled and answered Eduard's question with a nonchalant tone, "I'm recovering well. The medical staff Helena brought over are all professional. They've been very helpful to me."

"Good," Kane said reassuringly. "You've lost some weight. I thought..."

"Nothing serious. It's just a normal post-natal weakness and I'll be fine," Lucia replied with a smile.

Knowing that Lucia did not want to talk about Spencer, while she was chatting with Eduard and Kane about the market, Juliana was so focused on the baby that she took a close look at her eyes, her nose, her lips and her earlobes. And Daphne kept teasing the baby, too.

The baby girl was curious about what was moving in front of her, so she opened her eyes and moved her arms. Daphne could not be more in love with her watery eyes. Suddenly, she moved her face close to the baby and looked into her eyes.

"Daphne, don't get too close. Adults can't alternate breathing with newborns. There will be bacteria," Juliana, who had already raised a son, told her.

But Daphne didn't listen and kept looking into the baby's eyes. Juliana noticed something was wrong and asked her, "Daphne, did you find something?"

"I don't know if it's just my illusion..." Daphne looked up slowly and said to Juliana in confusion, "I always feel that the color of the baby's pupils is abnormal. Could it be something bad?"
