She is a CEO by George Chapman

Chapter 222 Meet Lucia's Need



'I can give Arthur to her, let alone take up some of his time.'

When Sophie was thinking, there was a glint in her eyes.

"Sophie..." Lucia saw Sophie's excited face and did not know whether to cry or laugh.

"I know I should go ask him for help directly, but I just can't ..."

"I understand you!" Sophie replied hurriedly, "I'll do you this favor. You tell me what time to leave and I'll have him pick you up. Is it tomorrow?"

Sophie was more excited than anyone to have the family of three reunite with one another. Even if there were still misunderstandings between Arthur and Lucia, she was happy for them!

"No, it's next Tuesday." Lucia was a little bit embarrassed.

Looking at Lucia's blushed cheeks, Sophie patted the back of her hand again and said happily, "Okay, next Tuesday then. Have you bought the flight tickets? Or I'll let Arthur do it, and let you know the time then."

Lucia was speechless. She couldn't do anything else except nod her head.

Then Sophie talked about family affairs with Lucia for a while before the two said goodbye and went home.

'Arthur has looked very unhappy recently. I will tell him the good news to cheer him up!'

In the evening, Arthur came back from the office. When he was about to open the door, Sophie opened it and looked at him with a smile on her face.

Infected by Sophie's smile, Arthur could not help but show a faint smile and ask her despite his unhappiness.

"Mom, why are you so happy today?"

"I'm lending you out!" Sophie said excitedly.

Arthur, who was intelligent, could not understand what his mother meant, "You lent me out?"

"Yeah! For one week!" Sophie sounded like she was joking with Arthur.

Arthur smiled. He knew how lively his mom was, and she often made fun of him and his brothers, so he just put his arm around Sophie's shoulder, walked inside, and asked casually. "Who did you lend me to?"

A glint flashed across Sophie's eyes as she looked up at her son and replied, "Lucia!"

As expected, Arthur looked bewildered. That was so much fun!

"Mom, say that again?" Arthur suspected he had heard wrong.

"I met Lucia this afternoon. Teddy is now in Chicago. He misses you very much, Lucia promised Teddy to go to the USA with you to see him. She was too embarrassed to ask you for help, so she asked me out to discuss it with me. I just said yes to her request. I have done a pretty good job, right?" Sophie explained with a smile and took credit for it like a little girl.

It took Arthur a few seconds to come to his senses. The next second, he smiled. His frustration dissipated. Then he picked up his mother and said happily. "Mom, great job!"

"Hey," Sophie felt insecure with her feet suddenly off the ground, but the smile on her son's face gave her peace of mind.

Sophie smiled, patted Arthur's shoulder, and said, "Put me down, it would be bad if I fall. I am too old to stand fractures."

"Mom, you're not old. You're the youngest and most beautiful mother in the world!" Arthur gave Sophie a kiss on the cheek. After flattering his mother, he asked. "Why did you lend me to her just for a weak?"

Sophie was speechless. Seeing Arthur so happy, Sophie was happy, too. After letting her son put her down, she told him the time.

"Okay, I'll buy flight tickets right now!" Arthur took his phone out after he finished speaking and was stopped by Sophie before he dialed the number.

"Don't be in a hurry. I have some things to tell you about." Sophie saw Arthur's excited face and felt somewhat worried.

"Mom, go ahead." Putting down his phone, Arthur pulled Sophie down on the couch with a smile on his face.

"Arthur, I know you're happy to go see Teddy with Lucia, but Lucia has a problem with you now. So, when you travel together, do not provoke her, okay? I am afraid that you will scare her away," Sophie said with a serious face.

"Mom, I won't..." Arthur said casually, but when he saw Sophie's serious face, he suppressed his joy and said seriously, "I know it's a rare opportunity for me. Lucia asked you to discuss it given the awkward situation between her and me. Mom, I know it and I will handle it properly."

"I'm just afraid that you will ..." As the witness to the love relationship between Arthur and Lucia, Sophie knew better than anyone how much Arthur loved Lucia.

Arthur looked down and answered honestly, "I'm afraid I'll lose control, but I'll do my best to restrain myself." With Lucia by his side, Arthur knew that he could never calm down.

"Don't scare my daughter-in-law away." Sophie saw Arthur's serious face and laughed at him.

"Mom." Hearing Sophie call Lucia her daughter-in-law again, Arthur knew there must be more to her words and asked her. "You still think the child Julia gave birth to is not mine, don't you?" "Yes." At the mention of Juliana, Sophie's face turned solemn.

"How is it going with Julia now?" During this period when Juliana was Lepus, Arthur did not contact her or the Knights.

"Robert is reasonable, but Kayla is still very agitated. The last time I talked with her, she hung up the phone after I said a few words. As to Julia, she didn't talk to me at all," Sophie said with a wry smile. "Mom, I've put you through this." If it weren't for him, Sophie wouldn't have been so troubled.

"It doesn't matter," Sophie said with a sharp gaze, "It's fine as long as there is still hope between you and Lucia."

"It's better not to mention the travel plan of Lucia and me to Juliana." Arthur thoughtfully reminded Sophie, who then smiled resignedly

"I'm not silly, okay?"

She made Juliana leave so that Juliana could calm down. If Juliana knew Arthur and Lucia were going abroad together, it was not hard to imagine that she would make a fuss about it.
