She Is A CEO

She Is A Ceo Novel George Chapman Chapter 548

“Mr. Davies, do you think Ms. Wilson will force Lucia to abort the baby?” Ewan asked. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Hard to say…” Spencer sighed and closed his eyes. Ewan saw that he was tired and no longer said anything.

The day was not a big deal for Lucia. Company officials came to visit her after learning that she was in the hospital. Lucia smiled and told everyone that she was fine. She didn’t have any emotions other than a sneer when she saw the article attacking Spencer and Nia.

Arthur did not show up during the day, but at ten o’clock at night, he came back to the ward again. After last night’s experience, the two of them had already formed a tacit understanding. Lucia did not ask specifically, and Arthur did not bring it up on purpose, just stay by her side quietly.

This sense of calm gave Lucia the illusion that Arthur knew the child was his. After all, if with the careful calculation of time, he can know that the child was conceived on the day the two met by chance.

But with Arthur’s character, if he really knew it was his, would he be so calm and unmoved? Lucia thought again.

Lucia tossed and turned in her bed in the large ward until Arthur said in a low voice,

“Can’t sleep?”

Lucia was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide. She was so busy thinking that she forgot that Arthur might not be asleep.

A blush came over her cheeks, and Lucia was glad that he could not see it in the dim light.

“Is something wrong?” Arthur asked worriedly when Lucia didn’t respond.

“No…” Gently moving lips, Lucia pressed the heart from beating too wildly and responded.

Arthur frowned. He rolled over on his back, looked at the ceiling for a moment and asked,

“Lucia, what were you thinking?”

Arthur had been hiding that question for so long that he couldn’t help asking it tonight.

“What… does that mean?” Lucia did not venture to guess what Arthur meant.

“You’ve always been a woman who knows what you love and what you hate. Jacob used your feelings to take over Webbex Group. You took revenge. I left irresponsibly six years ago, and you took revenge too. Why did Spencer betray you like Jacob, but you could put up with him … To say it’s love, Lucia, would you believe it?”

Arthur’s voice was soft in the silent ward.

“I don’t believe it myself,” said Lucia with a wry laugh. Perhaps the night was too quiet, and she had an impulse to tell, but she had to keep hiding the truth,

“But my relationship with Spencer isn’t that simple, and you know what Esmae wants of me.”

“You are not so easy to compromise,” said Arthur, turning aside, with his eyes shining in the gloom.

“That’s because you don’t know me well enough,” said Lucia quietly, turning to look at the ceiling and avoiding Arthur’s gaze,

“If you hadn’t come between me and him and Esmae still wanted me to be with him… I couldn’t really die.”

Lucia said this, but in her heart she said, “I’m not going to die, because you and Teddy are here, and I’m going to do everything I can to get Esmae to forgive me.”.

“Is that so…” Arthur’s voice was like a sigh, and with a faint sound it came to an abrupt end.

Lucia closed her eyes. Her eyes were sore, because she knew that everything she said would hurt Arthur. She couldn’t express her feelings openly, and she couldn’t bear it. So, she said softly,

“I’m very grateful that you came to accompany me. I was indeed selfish. When I was hurt by him, I still made use of your concern and felt at ease letting you take his place to take care of me. Arthur, I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be sorry,” Arthur said. “I am willing to do it.”

Lucia bit her lips tightly and forced herself not to make any sound. She could not respond anymore. She carefully turned her back to Arthur, and her tears fell silently onto the pillow and disappeared without a trace.

The next day, Arthur left early in the morning, just like yesterday. He did not talk to her, nor did he question their conversation last night. It was as if nothing had happened. They were just two people talking in their sleep, unintentional conversation.

And Lucia didn’t have much time to think, because when she woke up, Esmae was sitting by her bed.

“Esmae?!” Lucia, who was confused, suddenly sat up and sobered up instantly.

“Lie down,” said Esmae, frowning. She put Lucia back on the bed. She was angry with her, but she put her health first.

“Esmae, what are you doing here?” Lucia asked, as she lay back on the bed.

“I ask you, whose child is this?” Esmae wanted to hear Lucia’s answer for herself.

When she heard this, Lucia looked down.

“He told you?”

“You don’t have to care who told me. I want to hear it from you,” said Esmae.

“It’s Arthur’s,” Lucia answered without hesitation, subconsciously stroking her belly.

Esmae already knew the answer, but Lucia was so candid that she choked.

Lucia looked up slightly. With her eyes glittering with innocence and dependence, she asked Esmae softly,

“Esmae, did you come… to persuade me not to have this child?”

Esmae glared at Lucia. Her voice was harsh, but also the warmest in the world,

“Am I that kind of person?! It’s been four months. I will hurt you now!”

“Esmae…” Esmae’s words succeeded in making Lucia’s eyes watery.

Esmae got tired of staring at Lucia. She gave a long sigh and took Lucia’s hand,

“I’m worried about you. Yesterday, I called Spencer to ask him why he cheated on you. He blamed you for everything. He said that you ignored him. Although I punished him severely, I couldn’t do anything about it. If you really give birth to Arthur’s child, how will you live the rest of your life with him?”

Until now, Esmae had not considered letting Lucia and Spencer break up their nominal relationship.

“Do whatever he wants. I’ve never cared anyway. If Nia hadn’t been so arrogant this time, I wouldn’t have attacked them.” Lucia sniffed and held back her tears as she said nonchalantly.
