My Mommy Is A CEO

Chapter 72 – Grudges of the previous generation



When Edwin happily informed himself of the news, Auntie Esmae just stared dead at Sophie, laughing at the false guilt on her face, sarcastic that she had hidden such a deep heart, knowing full well that she had loved Edwin for four whole years!

On that day, Auntie Esmae and Sophie Edwin broke up completely. Betrayed by friendship and love at the same time, she soon learned that her father had passed away because he could not stand the torture of illness, while her mother still did not allow her to drop out of school and return home, crying on the phone and asking her to take good care of herself.

During her college years, Sophie came to Auntie Esmae countless times, but Auntie Esmae could not forgive her for her betrayal, and with the loss of her father, the family lost an important financial source.

Auntie Esmae met Chris, the eldest son of the Browne family, in the cafe where she worked. Esmae could not resist Chris’ tenderness and thoughtfulness, and the two came together.

After graduation, Auntie Esmae followed Chris to Chicago, cutting off all ties with Sophie and Edwin.

After that, Auntie Esmae and Chris married naturally, got pregnant, gave birth to a child, everything, has nothing to do with Sophie and Edwin, but she hides her whereabouts, but still can learn about their recent situation.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Sophie and Edwin got married as soon as they graduated. Edwin’s family was already prominent, and he started his own company in New York, and it grew stronger and stronger over time, becoming a prestigious top financial tycoon on Wall Street, and after that, their children were born one after another.

Over the years, whether inadvertently or intentionally, Auntie Esmae has always been concerned about the Davies family’s situation, and even Edwin’s sons’ affairs she often heard about, so when Auntie Esmae heard that Lucia had mistakenly dated Arthur, you can imagine how complicated her state of mind was at that time.

“No wonder, as soon as you heard about me back then, you went straight back home to pick me up.” Lucia could only sigh after listening to Auntie Esmae’s account.

She didn’t expect Auntie Esmae to be in a situation very similar to her own, and although she couldn’t believe that Sophie could be that sinister, there was no need for Auntie Esmae to deceive herself, not to mention that she had shown herself a great deal of kindness.

“That’s right, there was no way I could leave you alone after learning that you were betrayed by your own best friend and lover.” Auntie Esmae looked at Lucia heartily and said that she had no one to support her back then and had to bear everything alone, and she did not want her best friend Eric’s daughter to suffer the same tragic situation.

Lucia was grateful for Auntie Esmae’s loving heart, but, she said, “But Arthur isn’t like that.”

How Arthur treats himself, Lucia knows better than anyone that he would never hurt himself.

“Lucia, are you going to be stupid?” Auntie Esmae glared as soon as she heard Lucia speak for Arthur and said sternly:

“Already been hurt once, do you want to be stupid and wrong again? You yourself to look up the Davies family boss and the second of those affair, I am embarrassed to say out.

Especially the second Bailey, you think in such a family, Arthur will not be influenced by the ears? He is not showing it now, but after?”

In Lucia’s heart, she still didn’t want to believe that Arthur would turn out to be that kind of person.

Seeing that Lucia is not moved, Auntie Esmae continues to persuade sternly: “Lucia, auntie is happy that you can get out of the haze of the past, but you have to choose the person! Sophie and Edwin betrayed me once, and I can’t see you being hurt by Arthur in the future!”

“Arthur won’t …” Lucia tried to speak up for Arthur, but such a move made Auntie Esmae angry and she scolded him directly:

“Lucia, don’t be trapped by his apparent display of gentle elegance, you even said Theodore is his child, think about a man of good character, others will set up that kind of bureau for him!

When he had sex with you, he has already exposed the character problem, and in the end, he also walked away, which in itself is extremely irresponsible, can’t you still see that?!”

Lucia was speechless, although she was well aware of Arthur’s situation at that time, but Auntie Esmae had already decided that he was that kind of person, and she could not turn her mind around at once.

Auntie Esmae knows Lucia very well, as soon as she saw the light under her eyes, she guessed that she must still favor Arthur, so finally said directly: “Lucia, if you insist on being with Arthur, then break off contact with your aunt in the future, I don’t want to save you again one day!”

Lucia panicked when she heard this, Auntie Esmae was as kind to her as a mountain, how could she part with this kindness, her tears came down and she begged Auntie Esmae: “Auntie, please don’t be so arbitrary, I promised Arthur to go to the Davies family for Christmas, you can come too, let’s talk about what happened back then, okay? Auntie Sophie is not that kind of person.”

Lucia’s words are undoubtedly the spark that ignites the anger of Auntie Esmae, the one who has personally experienced the betrayal by Sophie, and Lucia, whom she has saved and treated like her own, is speaking for her!

Auntie Esmae scolded angrily: “Lucia, auntie didn’t expect you to defend Sophie! In that case, you can go pack your bags and go to New York now, Auntie just pretend that she didn’t save you before!”

Auntie Esmae’s eyes turned red when she said these decisive words, even though her mouth was scolding her and her anger was rising, but Lucia was after all her beloved youngest.

Lucia saw this situation no longer dare to disobey Auntie Esmae, directly stood up and cried and went over to hold her hand, yielded: “Auntie, you do not say such words, Lucia promised you, I will never again and Arthur together, back after I will break up with him.”

“Not only that, you have to cut off contact with him during this period, you also take this opportunity to calm down.” Auntie Esmae was relieved to see Lucia compromise, and then asked Lucia to stop contacting Arthur, knowing that this was the best and fastest way to cut the ties of love, even though it was cruel.

“I promise, I promise everything.” Lucia, who answered, was sobbing uncontrollably.

That night, Lucia cried herself to sleep next to Theodore, after which Arthur learned everything, Lucia deliberately cut off contact with him, living every day as the walking dead, in order to keep Auntie Esmae and her son from worrying about themselves, but also to force a smile, emotional once close to a breakdown.

Before returning home, Auntie Esmae called Lucia to talk again, urging her to break with Arthur and not to reveal her identity, Lucia all agreed, so after returning home, she forced herself to break with Arthur by suppressing all her love for him and not giving up.
