She is a CEO novel Chapter 827

Chapter 827 Subtle Mercy

She thought Dan would dismiss it, but unexpectedly he stopped in his tracks, and the doubts in Esmae's heart grew even stronger.

Dan slowly turned around and looked at Lucia without saying a word, but his eyes revealed all his thoughts.

"Just one time." Lucia said in a begging tone, regardless of whether he answered or not.

Dan glanced at Lucia, turned and left without answering, and when the bilge returned to darkness, Esmae couldn't help asking her,

"Lucia, will that man help you?"

Of course Esmae knew that Lucia would never open up to Dan for no reason.

Lucia sat down. Instead of answering Esmae's question, she picked up a small bread on the dinner plate and began to bite, then pushed the whole dinner plate into the corner and pushed it to Casper.

"Casper, eat something."

Casper didn't make a sound, but Lucia was relieved by the sound of the plate rattling and chewing.

"Lucia?" Without Lucia's answer, Esmae was even more confused. "You haven't answered my question yet."

Lucia looked at Esmae and said, "Auntie, hurry up and eat."

It was not that Lucia didn't want to answer, but she didn't have an accurate answer either. She just found something subtle in Dan's eyes, and she just wanted to take a gamble.

Esmae saw that Lucia was deliberately avoiding this topic, so she could only calm down and force herself to eat the food in front of her. She couldn't be so weak that she couldn't stand up when she was rescued.

As it turned out, Lucia was right.

In the afternoon, during Spencer's lunch break, the hatch was opened again, and Dan was standing in the door holding the baby.

Seeing this scene, Esmae was stunned.

Dan didn't make a sound, and came to Lucia with the baby who was already crying to sleep, and slowly squatted down.

Seeing her daughter's angelic sleeping face, Lucia could no longer perceive anything other than mother's love. She looked at her daughter obsessively, and her heart seemed to be filled with satisfaction in an instant.

But Lucia didn't ask to hold the baby, maybe because she was afraid of waking her up, or because she was afraid of crossing Dan's boundaries. She just stroked the baby's little hand lightly, then looked at Dan and said sincerely,

"Thanks."

There was a slight fluctuation in Dan's indifferent eyes, as subtle as a feather falling on the lake, and only the center of the lake knew how much impact it can have.

"Have you finished watching?" Dan just said indifferently.

"Thank you." Again, Lucia expressed her gratitude.

At this moment, she and Dan were not opposites.

Dan didn't respond, stood up holding the baby and quickly retreated out of the cabin. The moment the door closed, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

"Lucia, what the hell is going on?" Esmae couldn't figure it out anymore.

Lucia's lips were finally able to raise a slight smile naturally. Her eyes were extremely soft, and her heart was warm, but she didn't answer Esmae's question.

But someone answered for her, and a hoarse voice came from the corner with an unknown meaning.

This was probably the most ridiculous accusation in the world.

Even Elliot felt so ashamed that he turned his head away.

"Erik, you really have double standards," Arthur said coldly, sneering at Erik, "Your son kidnaps my woman and daughter and Ms. Wilson. What about his behavior? To be mean, he is a beast!"

Erik was choked up by Arthur's words and could only stare at him, still full of dissatisfaction.

"Arthur, don't talk nonsense with him," Edwin had long since given up trying to persuade Erik, and said to the security, "Take him down!"

It wasn't until Erik was taken away that the deck was cleared.

When Erik was taken to the cabin where he was held , he happened to pass by Nia's room. Although Nia had not been controlled in name since boarding the ship, Arthur bluntly said that she and her men were not allowed to walk around at will. Nia was afraid of making them angry again, so she really stayed in the room obediently. Seeing Erik being escorted past by security personnel, Nia was very surprised, but this was of course good news for her. With Erik there, they had more chances of saving Casper.

"Elliot, thank you for agreeing to my request." After Erik left, Edwin wanted to express his gratitude to Elliot.

"You make me ashamed by saying that." Elliot felt ashamed and said to Edwin and his family, "I did not teach Erik well enough so he did such outrageous things."

"Elliot, don't say that," Sophie said quickly, not wanting to see Elliot feel guilty for Erik , "You are not him."

Elliot shook his head, at a loss for words.

Seeing this, Edwin stepped forward and patted Elliot on the shoulder, and took him to rest, leaving Arthur and Otis on the deck.

"Arthur! With Erik caught, the odds are in our favor!" Otis said excitedly.
