She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 77

The night before the trip, Sophie cooked a exquisite meal for the children. The soup was thick and fragrant. And they were laughing at the table, an atmosphere that had not had in Lucia's family for a long time.

After dinner, while Theodore pestered Arthur, Sophie and Lucia chatted for a while.

"Lucia, this time after we're back to New York, Edwin and I will probably go to Esmae together. After this, what I am most afraid of is that she will reproach you how we know her whereabouts. So if she looks for you, just say you don't know." Sophie did not want to make things difficult for Lucia because of her and Edwin.

"Sophie, it's okay," Lucia smiled and said, "Esmae is kind to me, but I know clearly now that Arthur is a person I can't part with. If there is no way to do both, I will still fight not to hurt him again."

"Lucia, I really appreciate it." Sophie looked at Lucia's softly glowing pupils and was really happy for Arthur to meet this kind-hearted woman.

"Sophie, don't say such things. It is I who should thank Arthur. To be honest, the hurt I once suffered has long made me disappointed to love, but he let me know I can still have the right to happiness in this life. To meet him, I am really grateful ... and thank you for your understanding of me. Until now, you did not force me to let Theodore find his origin."

"This is not a problem. When you and Arthur get married, Theodore will naturally know it." Sophie smiled ambiguously.

Lucia's face flushed at the words and she couldn't help but remember the last time Arthur knelt down and proposed to her.

Sophie saw Lucia blush, and continued, "I'm still expecting you will have another child."

"Sophie..." Realizing that Sophie was deliberately saying that, the blush on Lucia's face deepened at a visible rate, and she was somewhat displeased that her face was going to burn up if she continued like this.

Sophie can't stop smiling. At this point between her and Lucia, there was a more intimate relationship than between daughter-in-law and mother-in-law. She was willing to treat her like a daughter.

That night, Sophie took Theodore back to the villa to stay, because early tomorrow morning they had to leave directly from there. Arthur had foot injury so he can not send them, and asked Jan to take good care of his mother and son on the way. When parting, Lucia let Theodore listen to his grandmother's words. If there was anything to tell her, just make a video call.

Theodore was already independent. Leaving his mother will not be as uneasy as other four-year-olds. In turn, he comforted his mother not to worry about him, and even patted his chest to assure his father that he will take good care of his grandmother. He looked so sweet that Sophie kissed him on the cheek.

After Sophie and Theodore left, Arthur and Lucia were left at home, and later, the two encountered a big problem.

While in the hospital, because Kyle was in the ward at all times, Arthur's bathing problem was handled by himself. Now, they were back home, and this responsibility naturally fell on Lucia ...

At first, Lucia suggested that Arthur simply did not take a bath. Anyway, it was now winter, but Arthur had always been accustomed to the daily bath. So he begged Lucia to help him. If she was not willing, he would take a bath himself but Lucia was not willing either.

"Do you have to take a bath? I'll just get a towel and wipe your body, right?" Lucia was dragged to the bathroom by Arthur. For several times, she tried to escape but was pulled by him. The good thing was Arthur did not let Lucia help him undress. Otherwise Lucia probably would have smashed the door and fled.

"There you go." Arthur said to Lucia, who had her back turned, after he had undressed.

Lucia took a deep breath and turned around with great difficulty, only to find that Arthur had a bath towel around his waist.
