She Is A CEO

Chapter 213

Arthur gently put the things into the cabinet one by one and sorted them out. Kayla and Robert watched him, then smiled at each other and nodded in tacit agreement. Their son-in-law was indeed gentle and considerate.

In the wee hours of the morning, Juliana was awakened by the cry of the hungry baby when Sophie just arrived.

Arthur thought his father Edwin would return with Sophie. When he saw Sophie come here alone, he knew Edwin had not yet forgiven him. A few months ago, Arthur asked for forgiveness from Edwin, but Edwin was very determined and would not change his mind easily.

“Sophie, you’re here.” As soon as Kayla saw Sophie, she greeted her happily. “Come and see your grandson!”

“Yes,” Sophie said, feeling the same joy as Kayla. She had just heard Kyle talk about what happened today on the way here.

When she entered the ward, she asked Juliana first, “Julia, I heard that you fell. Are you okay now?”

“Mom, I’m fine. I just missed a few steps, otherwise …” Juliana said with knitted brows, and seemed to not yet recover from a fright.

“It’s okay. You are fine now.” Distressed, Kayla said as she hugged Juliana in a hurry.

“Where’s the baby? Let me see the baby.” Sophie nodded and asked about the newborn.

“He is here,” Juliana unfolded her arms. The baby was lying on her chest and looking rather adorable. “Babe, call Grandma.”

The baby couldn’t talk yet, and Juliana just said that to make him and Sophie get closer.

Sophie leaned over to have a close look at the baby’s face. A few hours had passed since he was born. His face was no longer wrinkled from the amniotic fluid, but flushed instead. His black hair was curly slightly. He looked healthy and lively.

The smile on Sophie’s face was bigger as she said, “The baby looks so much like Julia.”

Kayla said, “It also looks like Arthur. Look at his eyebrows. Aren’t they similar to Arthur’s?”

Sophie smiled without saying anything. Arthur was her own son. Only she had a say as to whether the baby and Arthur looked alike.

“It’s hard to tell it now. When he grows up a little bit, we can tell if he looks like his father or his mother,” Robert said, amused.

“The baby is hungry, right?” Sophie didn’t reply to Robert, but changed the subject, “How about we let Julia feed the baby and we’ll talk outside?”

“Sophie, you are so thoughtful,” Kayla said, pulling the curtain for Juliana. Then they walked out to talk.

After they walked out the door, Juliana’s face became much more solemn. She could sense that Sophie was testing her, and she wondered what Sophie would do next.

“Baby, your identity can’t be found out…”

Juliana murmured.

Outside the door, Sophie put on a serious face and criticized Arthur for not taking good care of Juliana.

“Sophie, don’t blame Arthur; he wasn’t there when the accident happened. Julia was so careless that she missed the steps.” Kayla felt pity for her son-in-law and hurried to explain.

“Weren’t you there?” Sophie asked, staring at Arthur.

“Well, I went to the office that morning,” Arthur answered honestly.

“And who was there?” Sophie asked.

“Peter was supposed to be there. He found something wrong with Julia first,” Arthur said.

“Get Peter in here. I’ll ask him something,” Sophie said seriously.

“Sophie.” Kayla didn’t expect Sophie to care so much about this and hurriedly said, “No need to pursue the matter. Now Julia is okay and the baby is born safely. Do not blame anyone.”

“I can’t let it slide!” Sophie replied, “It’s good news that Julia is okay. But if something happened, Arthur would never forgive himself and we would be unable to face you. Someone must account for it!”

Kayla was dumbfounded, but Robert, who was more rational, agreed with Sophie.

“Sophie is right. Servants should take good care of their masters. Someone must account for this incident. If we just let it slide, Arthur’s authority will be undermined.”

Sophie nodded and told Arthur to bring Peter in immediately.

Although Peter was old, he didn’t even take a break during the delivery process of Juliana. After receiving Arthur’s call, he came to the hospital with the soup he had the cook make.

After Peter brought the soup in, Sophie asked him about what had happened in front of Juliana.

“Mrs. Davies, after Mr. Davies went out in the morning, I have been watching over Ms. Knight. In the afternoon Ms. Knight said she wanted to move around, so I helped her walk down the stairs. Halfway down the stairs, Ms. Knight said she was tired and felt thirsty. I didn’t think much about it and went to get some water for her. When I came back, Ms. Knight had fallen down the stairs and fell to the ground, so I immediately called the hospital and also contacted Mr. Davies.”

Peter respectfully told Sophie what had happened, and Sophie was furious when she heard what happened and shouted, “Peter, you’ve worked in the Davies family for years. How could you be so careless!”

“Mrs. Davies, it’s all my fault. I deserve whatever punishment.” Peter just bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Arthur looked on without a word. He heard Peter’s words and realized that no one saw Juliana fall down the stairs. He knew very well that Sophie was trying to confirm if Juliana did fall downstairs.

“Sophie, don’t be angry. You heard what Peter said. He was in a hurry to get some water for Julia, so he should not be blamed.” Kayla was happy that Sophie was trying to seek justice for Juliana, but she did not want Sophie to get pissed off, so she advised.

Hearing her mother’s words, Juliana said generously, “Sophie, it’s not Peter’s fault. It’s just that I am too careless.”

Then Arthur went to Sophie and said, “Mom, I should be to blame. I didn’t take good care of Julia. Don’t be angry. We’ll talk about how to punish Peter later. Julia just gave birth now. She and the baby need a good rest.”

Sophie could only suppress her anger and then she said snappishly, “Peter, I will hold you accountable later. Now you go back first to take care of things at home.”

“Yes, Mrs. Davies,” Peter replied with a nod, and left after getting Arthur’s signal.

After Peter left, Sophie apologized and said to Juliana, “Julia, I’m sorry for not taking good care of you.”
