She is a CEO novel Chapter 694

Chapter 694 Infatuation

"They will." Sophie's voice was soft, but it hid a mother's support for her son's relationship and her hope for their future.

Sophie wasn't kidding when she blurted that out in front of Otis.

If there was ever a price to pay for Esmae's forgiveness, Sophie was willing.

After calming Lucia down, Arthur returned to the living room with her, and Sophie feigned ignorance as she coaxed her granddaughter with her grandson.

Lucia sneaked into the living room and wiped the corners of her eyes to make sure there were no tears. Then she smiled and asked Theodore,

"Baby, what are you talking to Grandma about?"

"It's a secret between me and Grandma. I can't tell you," Theodore said with a serious face.

"What secret can you have, baby?" Arthur said, laughing as he rubbed his son's hair.

"There is," Theodore pouted and turned mischievously to Sophie. "Grandma, right?"

"Of course. It's between Teddy and me," Sophie said lovingly.

Lucia and Arthur looked at each other and smiled the same time.

Oddly enough, Spencer didn't do anything unpleasant again. Just like on the first day, he had a quick dinner and went upstairs. During the day, he went straight out the door, or stayed in his room. He was almost invisible.

But the more he did this, the more Bailey became suspicious. In the evening, Bailey talked to his father and Otis about the Amasun Group. In Bailey's view, there was no need to wait until there was enough evidence to act.

"Have you forgotten Uncle Elliot?" Edwin said dryly in the face of Bailey's offer.

Bailey's expression froze for a moment, but he said unhappily, "Do we have to wait for them to do something before we can fight back? Uncle Elliot is forcing us to do this."

"Erik is Elliot's brother, and he's always worried about him, no matter what. Even though he knows how hard this is for us." Edwin knew Elliot Well, and respected his feelings.

"Dad, I'll be back to take over Otis' business after Christmas," Bailey said, frowning.

"You don't like to do this kind of low-key research and collection, do you?" Otis laughed.

"I'm going to go out on a limb for Arthur. Otis, you have a project after the holiday, right? I'll take care of that," Bailey said.

With Bailey who was so determined, Edwin and Otis couldn't resist. And Otis wanted to exercise his brother's patience, so it was settled.

The next day, three days before Christmas Eve, the Davies Manor was all set and the house was filled with holiday spirit. Sophie's taste was undeniable. She didn't abandon the traditional red color but can make this color not vulgar, which rendered people in the house only feel happy.

Lucia and Sophie took the baby for a walk in the yard, while Arthur took Theodore for a ride on the racetrack. This state of peace was the most enchanting

Walking slowly down the garden path, Sophie glanced at Lucia several times without saying a word. Feeling amused, Lucia asked her,

"Sophie, is something wrong?"

Sophie smiled and asked,

"Have you picked a name for the baby?"

"If there's a chance, I will do everything I can to make it up. It's also for the sake of your younger generation," Sophie said firmly, as if she had made up her mind.

"Sophie?" Lucia wondered what Sophie meant.

"Lucia, take good care of Esmae after you get back. I know she must have said something to you yesterday, but her motive is always for your good. You have to understand her," Sophie warned Lucia as her eyes narrowed.

"I see." Hearing Sophie change the topic, Lucia agreed and knew she didn't have to ask any more questions.

By the time they walked back to the main house, Arthur and Theodore had returned from the stables. Theodore, sweating profusely, had gone upstairs to the bedroom to change.

"Arthur, tomorrow you will take Lucia and the baby to the airport," Sophie said, calling Arthur to her side.

"Of course," Arthur said at once.

"Lucia, you must remember my words," Sophie said to Lucia.

"Okay," Lucia replied obediently. At this moment, the other brothers of the Davies family also went downstairs. The atmosphere became lively. Even if there was a slight sadness, it would be washed away by the words of joy.

In the evening, when Lucia arrived at the dinning room, she found that the dinner was unusually luxurious. It was not surprising if she called it a Christmas dinner. Just as she thought about it, a thought flashed through her mind. She immediately looked up and asked Sophie,

"Sophie, this is..."

Sophie and Edwin looked at each other and smiled lovingly at Lucia. "You're leaving tomorrow and can't be here for Christmas. So, tonight will be our Christmas dinner."
