She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 697

Chapter 697 Warmth and Love

"Don't worry," Arthur continued, before Lucia could finish her words. "Teddy's here, and I'm here."

"But things have to be resolved..." Lucia frowned slightly and turned to look at Arthur. At this moment, she was a little anxious and impatient. She wanted to break the deadlock between herself and Arthur.

Clearly, he was around, but the middle was separated by countless obstacles.

"That's something my parents should be thinking about, not you. You don't have to bear the burden," Arthur said softly.

"But..." Lucia still couldn't let go of it.

"Don't overthink it," said Arthur, who couldn't bear to see Lucia like this. She was always overthinking and wanted to take all the responsibility on her own.

"Decades of grudges don't just go away. We have to give Ms. Wilson time. Besides, it's only gonna be her thoughts that change, not us, not even Otis and Helena. I'm sure no matter how Ms. Wilson tries to stop them, they won't give up on each other."

Lucia knew this, of course, but how painful it was to miss someone.

"Helena misses Otis..." said Lucia softly, sighing, as much as she missed Arthur.

"Otis misses her too..." Arthur said, looking at Lucia meaningfully.

Under Arthur's gentle gaze, Lucia didn't feel cold at all. Every time she spent more time with him, it was like she was charging up her batteries.

With her lips slightly raised, Lucia smiled and said, "We'll see if Esmae survives us."

This time, she counted herself and Arthur among them.

"I have confidence," Arthur said, smiling as he squeezed Lucia's hand gently. He would not compromise, even if it took a lifetime.

At last, Lucia's eyes sparkled, and the flame of hope rose again.

Arthur stared into Lucia's burning eyes and clutched her hand. She was not the only one who wanted to battle.

Back in her room that night, Lucia slept soundly with her arms around Theodore. Last night, Arthur's words calmed her down. Theodore woke up the next morning first.

"Mommy, I'm hungry..." Theodore said playfully, prodding his mother's cheek with his index finger.

Lucia opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw Theodore's little face, she leaned over and kissed him.

"You're up early?"

"Mommy, it's getting late," Theodore said as he crawled over to the bedside table, grabbed his watch and showed it to Lucia. "It's almost nine o'clock."

"Really?" Lucia rubbed her eyes, sat up, kissed Theodore again, and then picked up her daughter, who was squirming in her swaddling clothes. She pursed her small lips to the side. It seemed that she was really hungry.

"I feed your sister first. Teddy, brush your teeth and wash your face." The little Boy was shy, slipped off the bed and ran out, making Lucia smile.

After feeding the baby, Lucia had time to wash up. Coincidentally, Theodore brought Arthur in to see how she was doing. Lucia handed her daughter over to Arthur and went to wash up alone.
