She is a CEO novel Chapter 575

So Helena stayed in the building, 35 days before Lucia's due date, and she didn't dare to neglect anything.

On the third day of Helena's arrival in Athegate, Otis arrived too, and Arthur learned that Helena was with Lucia.

That afternoon, Otis took Helena to Fragranerde Hall to ask her about Lucia's situation. Arthur had not yet returned from the company.

After telling Otis about Lucia, Helena mentions Lucia's wish that Arthur be with her when she gave birth to the baby.

"It's not going to be easy," Otis said, frowning. "Spencer is using the unborn child as his trump card to keep Lucia under control. He's ostensibly agreed to let you take care of Lucia, but he must have got people watching her."

"I know," Helena said with a wry smile. "I can't say it's hard in front of Lucia."

"I know, no matter how hard it is, we have to do it for them. I'm sure Arthur feels the same way," Otis said,

"Although I haven't communicated with Arthur, he secretly cares about Lucia. Jack has told me everything. His feelings for Lucia have never changed."

"Yeah," Helena said wistfully as she lowered her eyes. "I really hope they can get back together soon. I feel bad watching them suffer for each other."

Even though Helena had been by her side for the past few days, she could often see Lucia holding the coat that Arthur had given her in a daze as she caressed it. Her silent movements contained so much longing and affection. Helena couldn't find the words to describe it.

"That's why we have to work harder. They have suffered enough. As his brother, I have to take care of other things for them," Otis said.

"Otis, you're such a good brother." Helena now had profound understanding about brotherly love. She also knew that among rich families, siblings would turn against each other in order to fight for property, so she valued this kind of relationship even more.

"Aren't you a good sister, too?" Otis said gently, putting his arm around Helena's shoulder.

There was a teasing voice behind them,

"Are you praising each other?"

Otis and Helena turned to see Arthur just stepping into the living room and smiling.

"Arthur, long time no see!" Helena and Arthur were already familiar with each other. Before Otis could say anything, she stood up and rushed over to give him a big hug.

Otis cleared his throat.

Arthur hugged Helena, said "long time no see," and said to Otis, "Otis, don't be jealous."

Helena heard that, mischievously turned and stuck her tongue out at Otis.

Otis's cheeks flushed suspiciously. He coughed hard and lowered his head. Then he became the serious brother again,

"Arthur, are you finished with your business?"

"There's some more, but there's not enough time," Arthur said, smiling. He nodded to Helena and took off his coat as he made his way to the kitchen,

"It takes a lot of time to make soup."

"But ..." Helena looked at Arthur's serious and handsome face. She really wanted to rush over and tell him the truth. She wanted to tell him that Lucia had never changed her love for him.

"Lucia has endured for the greater good, and we can't jeopardize her efforts," Otis gently advised Helena.

"Can I tell Lucia about this? Lucia, too, is always in a daze when taking the coat Arthur gave her. I feel bad for her."

"No." Otis shook his head helplessly. "The more Lucia misses Arthur, the more we can't tell her. It'll only make her miss him more and make her feel even more depressed."

Otis was right, but only in terms of being rational that Helena felt it was cruel to do so.

"I can't stand it anymore..." Helena turned her head away from Otis's embrace. She didn't dare to watch Arthur cook for Lucia anymore. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to resist telling the truth.

Otis sighed, feeling helpless.

Helena was in a bad mood, and she was afraid that she would not be able to face Arthur. When she returned to the small building, Lucia was eating in the dinning room. When she saw her, she asked,

"Helena, have you had dinner?"

Helena could see at a glance that the box on the table was the same one that Arthur had prepared in the kitchen, and for a moment she could not speak.

Sensing that something was amiss with Helena, Lucia stood up in concern and asked her,

"Helena, is something wrong?"
