My Mommy Is A CEO

“Well, I would really like to meet my beautiful sister-in-law and smart nephew,” Bailey spoke up, but Arthur couldn’t stand any of his descriptions about Lucia, so he only responded to his brother’s blessings, not Bailey at all. Bailey screamed in anger, and of course, Arthur glared at him several times.

“Dad, Theodore is also a genius with a high IQ.” Arthur knew that his father had a soft spot for smart children, or that all elders loved smart kids – he must first make a good impression on Edwin for Theodore, so he looked at Bailey and spoke.

“Theodore’s IQ is higher than yours. Wouldn’t you be afraid of seeing him and being crushed by his intelligence?”

“Arthur!” Arthur’s words were nothing but blatant sarcasm. Although he was only telling the truth, Bailey said deliberately, “You’ve just offended us all by that.”

Bailey was trying to get his father, old brother, and young brother into this, but when the others heard his words, apart from giving him a consistent look of contempt, no one was instigated by him. Bailey was so angry that he shut his mouth directly and became sullen.

Arthur saw Bailey had shut up obediently, and then said, “Mom has suggested to Lucia that we should celebrate Christmas over at our house, but… Lucia has her own concerns.”

No need for Arthur to say more, the others knew what he meant by ‘concerns.’

Even though Edwin had been in the USA for many years, he was still conventional deep down, and he was more strict and in-depth in seeing people and things, so the fact that Lucia and Jacob were once married really made him a little bit grumpy, after all, his Arthur’s love life was innocent.

However, just hearing the description of Lucia by his son now that the woman was of excellent quality and good character, otherwise, his wife would not be willing to take the risk and become a nanny to take care of them. Seeing that Arthur was embarrassed at this time, he opened his mouth and said.

“Then you should speak with Miss Webb. I would like to meet them, too.”

Not to mention the need to evaluate the character of his daughter-in-law, the fact that Theodore was his grandson was a certainty, and Edwin really wanted to meet his grandson.

Edwin’s words made Arthur in a good mood, his father had already recognized their identities, and he had more confidence now to persuade Lucia into bringing their son back to spend Christmas together.

“Arthur, if you’re serious, then treat them well.” Otis saw Arthur’s smile, so he smilingly said to him. This younger brother had never fit in with others because of his high IQ since he was a child, but it was also because of this that Otis loved him the most.

It could be seen that Arthur was serious about this relationship, and Otis, the eldest brother, also sent his blessings.

“For sure,” Arthur responded with a smile to his brother.

When Bailey saw that even his eldest brother Otis seemed to affirm Lucia’s relationship with Arthur, he put away his sulking and said to Arthur, “Arthur, you are not by yourself anymore in the future, remember to take care of your wife and children, you got it?”

Unexpectedly, Bailey’s words were more pragmatic than anyone else, and Arthur nodded in agreement with a gentle smile on his face.

In the end, after confirming Arthur’s relationship, the family meeting turned into a work report one. Douglas, who was still in school, shared what was new with him with his father and brothers before going offline, while the other three brothers needed to report to their father about the specific conditions of the branch that they were leading. When Arthur finished the meeting, it was already early in the morning.

Lucia hadn’t been out in the living room during Arthur’s work, he was relieved and curious, had she fallen asleep in Theodore’s room?

This scene made Arthur’s heart soften, and then he leaned against the door frame, unable to suppress the happiness that overflowed from his chest for a long time.

Walking over lightly, Arthur covered Lucia and Theodore with a quilt, branded a kiss on each of their cheeks, and said softly in his heart, good night.

Lucia had time to take care of Theodore at home after being suspended from work, but Theodore still needed to go to school during the day, and Arthur also had business to deal with, so Sophie was the one who spent the most time with her.

Sophie was getting ready for Lucia’s meeting with her family and spared no effort to introduce the husband and several sons to her.

When it came to her family, her tone was always brisk, or she was proud of her children’s achievements or worried about some lack of character in them. Every time she started chatting, she never stopped. Sometimes she was afraid that she would talk too much. But Lucia always smiled and listened with relish.

Such a lively family atmosphere was something she had never felt before but envied.

Perhaps sensing Lucia’s slight sense of loss and regret, Sophie spoke to her for the first time to affirm Lucia’s identity as daughter-in-law-to-be positively.

“When you marry Arthur, they, and I, will be your family.”

Lucia was moved when she heard these words, and her previous concerns also showed signs of going away. Admittedly, Sophie’s words were still very helpful.

Occasionally, Nia would come as a guest, but every time she devoured her meals, it seemed that most of the times she had come for Sophie’s cooking, but whenever Arthur showed up, she would always leave quickly, which made Lucia feel very weird and speechless every time.

It had been a week since Lucia had been suspended, but she felt that every day was so fulfilling that when she got a phone call from Eduard herself, it kind of caught her off guard.

“Lucia, the headquarters has notified me that you can be reinstated.” Eduard just received the notification from the headquarters fifteen minutes ago, and he called Lucia after hanging up the phone.

“I see,” Lucia was standing in the living room at the moment. Sophie had just left to drop Theodore to school, and Arthur was still sitting in the dining room having breakfast, looking at her as he ate. Meeting his sight, Lucia hesitated and said, “It’s just…”

“What’s the matter?”

Lucia didn’t seem as excited as Eduard had thought, so he, on the other end of the phone, asked suspiciously.

Lucia took a breath, finally made a decision, and said to Eduard, “It’s just that I can’t get back to work right now as Christmas is coming. I would like to take my child back to the USA to visit relatives – if I go back to work now, I might have to ask for leave soon.”

“I understand…” Eduard breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lucia’s reasoning, and said with a smile, “This is a trivial matter. All you need to do is come back today and go through the reinstatement formalities. I will give you the approval for the holidays until after the New Year, so that you can spend some quality time with the family.”
