She Is A Ceo Novel By George Chapman -Chapter 226

“So?” Kayla interrupted Sophie. “So he can abandon his fiancée and his newborn child to visit the child of him and that bitch?”

Kayla was enraged that Sophie belittled Julia and the Knight family.

“Kayla, can you please not jump to a conclusion so soon?” Sophie said resignedly.

“Sophie, you wait. I haven’t settled this with you!” Kayla was so angry that she took whatever Sophie said as excuses. She grabbed Robert’s phone and hung up the phone after saying snappishly.

Robert froze for a moment before he said, “Kayla, why make such a big deal?”

“You stay out of this!” Kayla glared at Robert. “Julia and I can’t count on you. We’ll handle it ourselves. I won’t let the Davies family take back their grandson!”

Robert advised his wife to think it over. Then they argued over this matter, without noticing the calmness and complacency in her eyes.

She asked the maid to buy this magazine and bring it back. It was indeed the right decision. ‘Sophie, never think about testing my son’s DNA!’

When Kayla hung up the phone, Sophie wasn’t upset. The Knights would know it sooner or later, but she just didn’t expect they would know it in this way.

Sophie didn’t tell Arthur the news. Withstanding all the pressure, she wanted the family of three to spend a good week together.

In Chicago, at 5:00 p.m., Arthur and Lucia got off the plane. They had long been used to taking a flight of over ten hours, but Lucia still felt a little bit tired. Arthur noticed that and asked her to go to the hotel to rest, but Lucia refused.

“Aren’t you anxious to see your son?” Being cared for by Arthur, Lucia seemed to forget all her worries and teased him with a smile.

“Yes, but you’re tired,” Arthur replied.

“It’s fine. I’ll just go pick up Teddy and it’s best to get out of Chicago as soon as possible.” Lucia was well aware of the consequences if this was discovered by Esmae, so she was very anxious.

“Okay, then I’ll wait here for you and Teddy,” Arthur could only agree with her though he didn’t want to exhaust Lucia, so they said goodbye and Lucia took the car to Browns Manor.

Arthur bought the flight tickets to Hawaii at the airport and waited patiently for Lucia in the VIP room.

Lucia made her way to Browns Manor, and just after she entered the gate, the maids greeted her politely, which made Lucia a little bit uneasy. She rushed into the main house, not expecting to meet Esmae, who was supposed to be on a business trip, just as she got up the steps.

“Esmae?” Lucia raised an eyebrow in surprise.

“You arrive so soon?” Esmae saw Lucia’s car pull in and came downstairs to get her.

“Yes.” Lucia never disguised herself in front of Esmae, so she looked a little bit uneasy at this point.

Esmae saw Lucia’s gaze flicker and said, amused, “Why are you so nervous about meeting me?”

“No, I’m in a hurry. The next flight is at 8:30 p.m,” Lucia replied softly with her eyes downcast.

“In such a hurry?” Esmae glanced at her watch. “It’s six o’clock, so I guess you can’t make it, so you can refund your ticket and book tomorrow’s flight instead. I wanna have a good chat with your tonight.”

Thinking that Arthur was waiting for her at the airport, she said, “Esmae, I don’t have much time, and I want to spend more time with Teddy. It’s not too late to pick him up and leave right now.”

“Is that so?” Esmae gazed at Lucia for a while. She had an odd feeling, but she just said, “Teddy is riding a hoarse at the turf. You sit with me for a while. I’ll ask the housekeeper to get him back.”

“OK.” Chatting with Esmae was the most pleasant thing to Lucia, but now it was not the right time to talk with Esmae. Even so, she could only follow Esmae into the living room. They chatted about their work and daily life. Esmae was getting suspicious as they talked; why did Lucia not dare to look into her eyes?

Luckily, the housekeeper returned shortly afterward with Theodore, who rushed over to Lucia as soon as he saw her, jumped into her arms, and pouted.

“Mommy you and …”

Theodore didn’t finish his words because Lucia covered his mouth and kissed his cheek unnaturally. Esmae frowned, but she did not say anything.

Theodore was so smart; he understood that he couldn’t mention his dad, so he went upstairs happily to get his little suitcase.

“Lucia, did you come alone?” When Theodore ran upstairs, Esmae suddenly asked Lucia.

Lucia’s heart thumped. She nodded after a long time of hesitation and said, “Of course, who else could be with me?”

Esmae observed Lucia’s expression. Theodore came downstairs and ran to Lucia, saying excitedly, “Mommy, let’s go. I can’t wait to go to the beach!”

“Okay, say goodbye to Grandma Esmae,” Lucia said tenderly to Theodore.

“Bye Grandma, see you next week!” Theodore happily said goodbye to Esmae, then pulled Lucia and tried to head out the door.

Lucia dragged Theodore who was like a wild horse, and said goodbye to Esmae before getting into the car. She had arranged for a driver to send them to the airport, in case Esmae sent a driver and found out she was with Arthur.

Esmae watched Lucia leave. As the car drove toward the gate, she took out her cell phone and called Spencer.

When the call was answered, Esmae asked directly, “Spencer, did Lucia come to Chicago alone to visit Teddy?”

“No, she went with Arthur,” Spencer answered. He had wanted to let Esmae know, but he didn’t expect Esmae to find it out first.

“What? With Arthur?” Esmae was furious, and finally understood why Lucia acted so weirdly just now. novelbin

“Yes,” Spencer replied, “I was just trying to contact you.”

“OK, go do your thing,” Esmae said and hung up the phone. She turned around and ordered the housekeeper, “Take some men, catch up with Lucia’s car and bring her and Teddy back to me!”

When Esmae instructed the housekeeper, Lucia, who had left, seemed to have a bad hunch and asked the driver to speed up. Esmae knew her so well and must have realized something.
