Chapter 47 To Lucia, Esmae Is Like Her Real Mother
*Thank you. “Lucia didn’t expect Eduard to agree so quickly, so she was hoppy and called directly. “Eduard.” This was the first
time Lucia called Eduard by name because she already regarded him as a friend. Of course, this title was only used in private
time. If she was at work. Lucia would still call him ‘Mr. Burion.”
After saying thank you, there was no response from the other end of the phone for a long time Just when Lucia thought Eduard
had hung UD. she heard him say, “You’re welcome, Lucia
After hanging up. Lucia went to tell Arthur that she had decided to go to the USA to meet his family, but she was unaware that
Eduard, at Jibillion inc’s headquarters, had gotten all emotional and excited because she had called him by name
“Really? Are you willing to meet my family?” Arthur was the happiest person now He had been trying to persuade Lucia into
agreeing for the past few days He didnt expect to have a casual breakfast this morning and get the desired result he had wanted
“After all. Theodore is part of the Davies tamily He ought to meet his grandfather and uncles ” Lucia smiled and said softly
Lucia and Arthur had told Theodore about his life expenence three days ago. They thought that the child could not handle it for a
while, but the mile smart cookie told the parents that he had already known about it.
Theodore had doubts earlier when he found he looked exactly the same as the little Arthur in the family photo, but since his
mother didnt mention it, he didnt ask about it To Theodore, the usual conversations between Lucia and Arthur had revealed
some clues
But before Lucia and Arthur could breathe a sigh of relief, Theodore continued to ask about the part that he was most curious
about – Did Mom and Dad use to date earlier before? How did you give birth to me? Why did Dad not know Mom and didn’t
come to find them later?
Faced with Theodore’s barrage of questions, Lucia and Arthur were caught off guard – how could they explain to a child that
everything that had happened was allowing to a fling of surprise? So Lucia used her perfunctory skills to pass on these topics in
a few vague words and only said that when he was older, she would tell him all about it. Theodore seemed to understand, but he
also accepted this fact completely, and since then, he had started to call Arthur Dad Theodore’s new address of him almost
melted Arthur’s heart. It took him several days to get used to the change in the way Theodore called him. At first, when Theodore
called him Daddy, he didnt realize Theodore was calling him It was rare moments when Arthur was stunned, and every time it
amused Lucia. As soon as Lucia nodded to confirm, Arthur stood up and hugged her, buried his lace in her neck, and said thank
you softly
He knew how many inner struggles Lucia had overcome to make this decision, and he was grateful Three nights later, while
Arthur and Sophie were bathing Theodore together, Lucia walked to the balcony alone and called Esmae, telling her that she
was in love
“Lucia, you’ve finally moved on.” Esmae’s voice sounded crisp and sweet, with a cheerful rhythm that wasnt typically found in a
middle-aged person if they didnt know her actual age, many people would think that the other party was a young woman just by
listening to her voice. Lucia smiled Esmae had persuaded her the most in recent years to start a new relationship. After all, that
would make the best farewell to her emotional haze in the past But she had never met someone who she had a crush on for so
long She thought she would never meet anyone until Arthur showed up in her life. After talking about her love life, Lucia
continued, “Esmae, there is one more thing that needs you to listen patiently
Lucia knew that Esmae was inclined to get excited, so when she announced the big news, she reminded Esmae like a naughty
giri.
“Come on My curiosity is killing me already!” As soon as Lucia finished speaking Esmae’s excited voice came from the receiver
“For a long time. I have never known who Theodore’s biological father is, and I have never thought to find out but.. fate is so
mysterious, my ourrent boyfriend is actually Theodore’s birth father” Lucia spoke as slowly as possible about that wonderful
coincidence “What? Esmae, who was far away in the USA, exclaimed, and Lucia could almost imagine her jumping up
with a smile on her face, Lucia comforted Esmae and then used simple words to tell her story with Arthur But when she finished
speaking, the other end of the phone was silent Lucia knew that Esmae was digesting what she had just said. So she patiently
waited for her to reply Finally Esme spoke up. “Are you saying that the boyfriend you’re dating now is the same guy who entered
the room five years ago? He’s Theodces birth father and it’s all because of a mistake? Was there such a conudence in the
world?
*Yes, that was turn the thought of Arthur made the smile on Lucia’s lips soften.
“Goodretu Lucia thats futel But did you confirm he was that person?’ Esmae’s voice was very excited
“Positive He did the paternity test unsell’ Lucia replied with a smile.
Then you gotlodench the connection to solare that no one would believe it even if written in a book!” Esmae said happily and
playfully 1 lati very galelul and holdingi dearly. This was Lucia’s most real thought “Lucalan vo happy for you I thought you would
never get out of the nightmare Jacob caused.” Esmae said confortably
How cari ? Jucob wat julle passerby in my be I will never let myself die alone hating himi” Although Lucia did have such negative
thoughts the post on with Arthur Lucia could let go of her pasi dark side
“That’s good.” Esmae said repeatedly, really happy for Lucia His home is in New York so after I go back to visit you this
Christmas, Theodore and I will go to see his family Esmae, can we go together then?* Although Esmae was nol biologically
related to her, to Lucia, Esmae was like her real mother. If it weren’t for her rushing back to Athenate to help her five years ago
after getting her message. Lucia couldn’t imagine what she would be like now. olursa. Esmae happily agreed She wanted to
meet the man who had helped Lucia move on from the past, and his family, so she asked again. By the way, you haven’t told me
his name yet When Lucia heard the words, she realized that she was careless. Just now, she had been referring to Arthur by
“him”, and she hadn’t told Esmae his name, so she immediately replied, “His name is Arthur After Lucia finished speaking, sho
thought that Esmae would respond, but after waiting for a long time, there was no more sound on the other end of the phone, but
the sound of the electric current was unbearably sizzling. Lucia Irowned slightly in confusion, and asked, “Esmae, are you still
there?”
