She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 953

Chapter 953 Secret Charms

Eloise pursed her lips, and her eyes turned red instantly.
As a mother, why didn't she know the silent, longing for freedom under the child's forced smile...
But…
"But her body..." Eloise couldn't make up her mind.
"Mom, it's the best choice for Eve to be by my side. I've given her blood transfusions three times during this period. Although she doesn't seem to be in good spirits, her life is definitely not in danger. Because Lauren and I will take good care of her, and when she gets better in the future, I can even give her some simple clerical jobs so that she can get in touch with more people and things, which is the best for her, isn't it?"
Nia vividly interpreted the image of a good sister.
Finally, Eloise was persuaded, quickly took the hand of her eldest daughter, and said with a little pleading,
"Nia, we know that we neglected you before, and you have suffered a lot of grievances, but we can't help it... Fortunately, you are open-minded, and I will ask you to take good care of your sister from now on."
"Mom, what are you talking about!" Nia pretended to be annoyed and said, "I used to be young and ignorant, but now I understand your difficulties. Don't worry. I will definitely 'take care' of my sister!"
Under Nia's promise, she easily persuaded her parents to let Eve go back to Athegate with her. At this time, Nia was so proud that she came out of her parents' room. When she passed Eve's room, she had an inspiration and unbuttoned two buttons of her pajamas, then knocked on the door.
"Mr. Osade, are you asleep?" Nia lowered her voice and knocked on the door. She was sure that Lauren must have been awake before she got his reply.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, Lauren opened the door topless. He had always been used to sleeping naked, and it was polite to open the door after putting on a pair of pants.
"What?" He asked Nia who was leaning against the door in a bad tone.
Nia's brows and eyes moved slightly, and she gave a charming smile with familiarity, and deliberately said in a slow voice, "Mr. Osade, my parents have promised to let Eve go back to Athegate with us tomorrow."
"Yeah." Lauren responded lightly, not surprised at all. Nia was very resourceful. Of course this was not a difficult task for her.
Well, for Lauren, the "conversation" between them was over, so he was about to close the door directly, but Nia blocked the door, and her pajamas were pulled up because of the gesture of raising her hand. The collar was naturally empty, and from Lauren's line of sight, the underwear inside can already be seen.
Lauren frowned for an instant.
"What else?" His tone became even more impatient. Nia's flattery was not attractive to him at all, and he even felt disgusted.
Nia secretly thought it was a pity. Although she had already guessed that a rich man like Lauren would never be easily seduced by women, she still wanted to try it out this time when she went home. When it didn't work at all, she simply gave up, put down her hands and folded up her skirt and said seriously,
"Mr. Osade, today I ask my parents to give Eve to me to take care of. It's actually for you and her future. No matter what happens in the future, I hope you will take good care of her."
"Is it that serious?" Lauren sneered and said, "I admit that I am a little bit attracted to her, but I haven't reached the level of vows. Nia, don't be too confident."
After he finished speaking, he was no longer polite, and closed the door with a twitch of his hand. If Nia hadn't retreated so quickly, her nose would have been in close contact with the door.
"Don't be too confident?" Nia chuckled softly, "Then let's see."
Three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lucia had finished explaining all the affairs at hand, and was about to leave for New York with Arthur for the festival. Kane came to see her before she left the company at noon.
"Lucia, this year Juliana and I are going back to our hometown with our son for the holiday. I would like to ask you if you want to drop by."
Without Kane explaining anything, Lucia covered her eyes lightly. A ray of sadness floated on her brows. She turned her head slightly to avoid the sight of Kane who was in the same mood as herself, and said softly,
"It's time to see her."
"Let's set off together in the afternoon, and Juliana should also inform Arthur that it's ready." Kane said carefully.
"Okay." Lucia replied, her eyes unconsciously staring at the music box on the table.
In the afternoon, as soon as Lucia came home, she saw that Arthur had packed his luggage and was waiting for her in the living room.
"Did Juliana tell you?"
"Well, let's go to Kane's hometown first and then to New York." Arthur stepped forward to hug Lucia tenderly, and knew that mentioning Poppy would never make her feel better.
Obediently burying herself in Arthur's arms, Lucia lost all patience once in a while,
"Arthur, how long will it take? How long will it take before I tell Poppy at her grave that Jacob has received what he deserved?"
"It won't be long," Arthur's comfort was never a blank promise. He told her confidently, "I'll find him."
Lucia nodded silently, relying on the man in front of her wholeheartedly.
Kane's hometown was not far from Athegate. Arthur directly asked the driver to prepare the car and drive them there, and they arrived at their destination in less than two hours.
Kane didn't ask Lucia to visit his parents first, but asked the driver to drive the car to the cemetery first. As they got out of the car at the cemetery, Lucia saw that Kane had already prepared incense candles and a bag of Poppy's favorite fruit.
"Juliana," seeing Juliana hugging her son and trying to follow, Arthur quickly hooked her arm, "Let the two of them go up by themselves."
"Why?" Juliana didn't think much of it.
"The Poppy in their memory is different from the one we know. Let the two of them remember it together. We'll wait here." Arthur's thoughtfulness and meticulousness had always been gentle and silent.
"That's right," Juliana nodded and said, "To be honest, with what I know about Poppy, I really can't sympathize with this person."
Arthur was like this, carried Kane's son over, chatted with Juliana about other topics, and patiently waited for Kane and Lucia to come back.
Walking up the steps with Kane, passing by tombstones, Lucia couldn't help feeling a little desolate in her heart.
In the end of life, if there was no hope, it was really difficult to survive in this world.
"Lucia, we're here." On the fourth step, Kane pointed to Poppy's tombstone and said to Lucia. Lucia raised her eyes and her eyebrows were tightly knit together.
