She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 703

Chapter 703 More Than Being Worn Out

On the other hand, Lucia shuffled downstairs. Helena and the others knew that something must have happened when they saw how dejected she was. They immediately gathered around her and asked her what had happened.

Lucia's eyes were misty, and she wanted to say something, but the bitterness seeped into the corners of her smiling lips.

"She knows about my work with Arthur, and she wants me to end it now, or else... I won't be able to come back here."

"How dare mom say that!" Helena was so excited that she handed the baby to Reynolds and walked forward.

"I'll talk to her!"

"Helena, don't go!" Lucia quickly grabbed Helena's arm. When she looked back at Helena, she said bitterly, "It's no use."

No one can change Esmae's temperament.

Helena knew that Lucia was right, but she couldn't bear it. "Are we just going to let you fall into this dilemma?!"

Shawn and Reynolds looked at each other, not knowing what else to say.

"I'll think about it over the next few days," said Lucia, who had no answer to her question but could only respond to their concerns.

That night, Lucia could not sleep. She wondered if the baby had sensed her restlessness. She wept all night, but she could not be coaxed. This made Lucia, who was always gentle, more agitated. Listening to her daughter's cry, even she cried emotionally.

The next day was Christmas Eve, but Lucia came downstairs with dark circles under her eyes and a tired look on her face.

"Lucia, didn't you sleep well last night?" Spencer greeted Lucia as soon as he saw her, asking her knowingly.

Lucia glanced at Spencer and walked away from him. She didn't have the energy to negotiate with him for another second.

"Lucia..." Helena hurried over when she saw that Lucia was limp. She quickly called for the servant who had taken care of the baby.

"Take the baby and play. Be careful."

"Yes, Miss," the servant said respectfully, holding the baby carefully.

When the servant took the baby away, Helena glared at Spencer, who was standing next to them, then took Lucia to the sofa and sat her down.

"You didn't get any sleep last night? You have dark circles under your eyes."

"The baby cried all night, so I didn't sleep well," Lucia whispered, not wanting Helena to worry about her.

But how could Helena be so relieved by Lucia's words? She said it out loud on purpose,

"Lucia, is someone bothering you? Tell me, I'll teach him a lesson!"

Spencer knew that Helena was pointing at one but abusing him. He smiled and said,

"Miss Brown, you're joking. Lucia is in your home now. Who dares trouble her?"

"Maybe..." Helena said sarcastically, with a cold smile on her face.

Spencer smiled sheepishly, and instead of continuing to argue with Helena, he walked to the side and sat down.

"Lucia and I need to talk. Don't you have anything better to do?" Helena said, staring unhappily at Spencer who was relaxed.

"I can help with the baby, just to see if Lucia wants to," Spencer said nonchalantly.
