She Is A Ceo Novel George Chapman Chapter 604
Chapter 604 Another dispute
And for that, Arthur was even more grateful to Lucia.
Douglas was already at the door with Theodore in his arms. He was too embarrassed to go in, but Theodore slid off him and ran
toward his parents.
“Mummy! Are you all right?” Theodore asked as he saw Lucia’s pale, bloodless face.
Arthur hustled Theodore over and the family of four leaned together.
“I’m fine... Baby, look, she’s your sister...” Lucia said gently to her son. Her voice recovered after having some water.
Theodore quickly lowered his head to look, only to see a pink little baby squirming in the swaddling clothes. Her little face was
still a little red, and her two small hands were shaking into fists.
“Mommy...” Theodore looked up at Lucia and asked, “Is my sister a little ugly?”
On hearing this, Lucia and Arthur burst out laughing, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
“You were like this when you were born. In a few days your sister will be beautiful,” Esmae, who was by her bed, said to
Theodore with a smile.
Theodore nodded suspiciously, then turned around and stared at his sister. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. He
stretched out a finger to tease her. Unexpectedly, the baby’s hand suddenly opened, and grabbed Theodore’s finger, which was
so cute.
Theodore’s big eyes immediately lit up. He was excited and said, “Dad, my sister took my finger!”
“Well, your sister seems to like you very much,” Arthur said softly, giving Theodore a kiss on the excited cheek.
“Teddy decided before the baby was even born that she must be a sister, and it looks like the brother and sister already had a
connection,” Sophie said, with her eyes brimming with happiness.
When Sophie said this, Esmae’s expression darkened. Her words were so vague that there was too much information in them.
In the public’s view, Lucia’s daughter should be Spencer’s, not Arthur’s!
Thinking of Spencer, a chill flickered through Esmae’s eyes.
“Why don’t you take the baby out, Arthur? We can’t go in!” While Theodore was enjoying with his mother and father, Bailey
poked his head out of the door and called out, as did the rest of the brothers, especially Edwin, who was silent but desperate to
see the baby.
“Lucia, shall I take the baby to my dad and show them?” Arthur asked her carefully.
“Okay, take your time.” Lucia gently put the baby into Arthur’s arms. She had thought that this man who had never taken care of
the baby would be clumsy. Just as she was about to say a few more words, she saw him skillfully holding the bbay in his arms.
He was sophisticated, and the posture was standard.
Lucia thought that perhaps he had taken care of Juliana and Kane’s child, but she was wrong. Arthur had not been very close to
Juliana’s son. The reason why his movements were so skillful was that he had checked a lot of information on the internet in the
past few months. It was all about how to raise babies and how to take care of newborn babies. Although the baby might not be
his own, it must be Lucia’s, and Arthur had no regrets.
When Arthur carried the baby out, Esmae said to Theodore, who leaned over Lucia and kissed her on the cheek,
“Teddy, go see your sister, too.”
Theodore was just about to say no when he saw Esmae looking a little serious, so he slid out of bed and went to see his sister.
Outside the door were the voices of the Davies family. Inside, the four women looked at each other nervously.
“Helena, even if Lucia gives birth to the baby, you must come back with me at once!” Esmae told Helena as soon as Theodore
left the room.
“Mom! I’m not leaving!” Helena immediately said no. “Lucia just had a baby, and I have to take care of her.”
“She has Spencer to take care of her. She doesn’t need you!” Now that the baby girl had been born successfully, Esmae wasn’t
afraid that Spencer would make another move. The most urgent thing was to immediately lock Helena up and keep her away
from the Davies family man.
“Can Spencer take care of Lucia?!” Helena retorted without hesitation. “Look at him. He’s afraid of the strong and bullies the
weak. If you expect him to take care of Lucia, you might as well take Lucia...”
“What are you trying to say...” Esmae’s eyes darkened as she warned Helena to choose her words carefully.
Helena lowered her head slightly and said nothing.
“I’m telling you what you need to do, not asking for your opinion. If you want to stay, fine, but don’t call me mom!” Esmae knew
that Sophie didn’t look at herself, but she kept listening, so how could she show weakness?
“Mom! Are you going to do this to me again the way you did to Lucia?!” Helena felt very aggrieved,
“Lucia has become like this. Do you want me to be like her, unable to love, suffering all the time?!”
Helena not only felt wronged for herself, but also for Lucia. The greatest blessing of a woman’s life was that she could meet a
right person, and the greatest misfortune was that she could not get love. She did not know why her mother was so stubborn,
would rather sacrifice the happiness of two daughters!
“What do you mean you’re unable to love?” Esmae scowled at her daughter,
“It was Lucia’s choice to choose Spencer. Did you ask her if I forced her?! But you’re willful. You clearly knew about the grudge
between me and them, yet you allowed Otis to be close to you. Helena Brown! Are you trying to make me mad?!”
Esmae was so angry she called her daughter by her full name.
Although Esmae’s words were only occasional references to herself, Sophie knew that it was all about her and Edwin. Finally,
she turned to Esmae in her fury and spoke softly,
“Esmae, just tell me a way, just tell me what to do. Really, stop making things so hard for the kids.”
Sophie’s tone was a mixture of pleading and helplessness. She couldn’t bear to blame her feud with Esmae on the kids.
“Not in this lifetime!” Esmae said sharply, unflinching,
“No matter what you do now, you can’t save my parents or the harm that I’ve been through. No matter if it’s Lucia or Helena, they
can’t have anything to do with you or Edwin’s child. I won’t give in to this!”
With that, Esmae grabbed her daughter by the wrist and scolded, “Come back with me!”
“Mom...” Helena struggled, unwilling to compromise.
