She Is A CEO

She Is A Ceo Novel George Chapman Chapter 564

“Okay, I’ll get back to you in three days,” Nia was so excited to hear from Jacob that she said so and ended the call.

Looking at the screen of her phone, Nia couldn’t calm down for a long time. Although she still had a lot of worries, she couldn’t help but jump for joy when she thought about the future Jacob had described for her!

If she can be the person Jacob described her to be, no one will ever look down on her again, not Spencer, not Lucia, not Eduard, not Kane, not even that awful Daphne! They would be all afraid to underestimate her!

She just hung up, but Nia was already looking forward to that call in three days.

As the cold air swept Athegate in the winter months, there were fewer and fewer sunny days. Sometimes a whole day would be gloomy. Lucia, who was already afraid of the cold, was even more dreary. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The more she hoped for, the more disappointed she would be. Even Lucia, who was mentally strong, would be upset after Jacob’s escape. She had planned to tell Arthur the truth before the child was born, but now it seemed that… She was gonna have to wait, and for how long, she didn’t know…

For the first few days, Lucia didn’t even want to get out of bed. She spent the whole day in bed, frowning and brooding, worrying Jack and the others. At first they thought Lucia was sick, but later they found out that she was upset about Jacob. The matter can not be settled for the time being, nor can they do anything about it.

It was known that Otis turned San Francisco upside down, but he couldn’t find him.

During Lucia’s darkest period, Victor did not dare to take a picture of her for Arthur, for fear that even Arthur would be in a bad mood.

Arthur knew about the capture of Jacob, and he knew how upset Lucia was. Although he really wanted to give her a hug on such a cold winter’s day, Arthur knew he couldn’t and could only pay more attention to Lucia’s diet.

It was the only connection Arthur had with Lucia now.

Arthur’s growing obsession with cooking also raised questions for Sophie, who had previously known that he would walk around the kitchen because he didn’t like the smell of oil.

Arthur had an above-average IQ, but his mother could easily tell what he was doing. There was no need to make unnecessary guesses. Who else could make Arthur go into the kitchen voluntarily and do it himself? Moreover, Arthur asked her almost all of the diet with supplements, but also deliberately avoid the ingredients which were unsuitable for pregnant women. Therefore, it was very easy to see through him.

Sophie’s heart ached.

Lucia was having Spencer’s baby!

She used to think that Arthur was in love with Lucia, but now it seemed that love was not enough to describe that.

Finally, one day, when Arthur went to make a phone call again to ask about Sophie’s new dish, Sophie couldn’t help but mention it,

“Arthur, why are you doing this? I know you learned to make soup for Lucia, but she’s never coming back. You know that, don’t you?”

Arthur froze in his tracks and said nothing.

Sophie could almost guess the look on Arthur’s face,

“Arthur, stop this self-destructive behavior of yours. In the past, we could all hold out hope that Lucia would come back, but now that she’s pregnant with Spencer’s child. This hope will never come true again. I really don’t want to see you torture yourself like this!”

As a woman, Sophie knew exactly what kind of bond a child can bring to two people.

“Who says I can’t look forward to it anymore?” Arthur’s voice was as clear as spring water, as if it had come from a distant place.

“Arthur?” Sophie quickly realized her son was implying something. “What do you mean?” She asked

Arthur thought for a moment, and decided to tell his mother, “Actually, when Lucia was in the hospital over a month ago, I managed to get all of her test results. My original intention was to see if she was all right, but in those reports, I found an item that didn’t need to be done.”

“What is it?” Sophie’s heart was pounding, and she had a strange feeling.

“Non-invasive DNA testing,” Arthur said.

“Non-invasive DNA testing…” Sophie searched it in her mind for a reference to the phrase and hesitated. “Isn’t it used to check for fetal chromosomes? Sometimes, it’s also used…”

Sophie’s words came to an abrupt end, and an idea flashed through her mind like a bolt of lightning.

“Arthur, you doubt it?!” Sophie was both excited and shocked.

“Yes, I suspect Lucia’s child is mine,” Arthur said, with his lips curling up as he tasted the happiness in his heart.

“Could you be wrong?” Sophie asked doubtfully, not wanting to disappoint her son.

“If Lucia’s baby is definitely Spencer’s, why did she do the test?” Arthur was quick to make his suspicion reasonable.

“Maybe… just to check on the development of the fetus…” Sophie still didn’t dare hold out such a hope. No, it was an extravagant hope!

If Lucia was carrying her son’s baby, it was the best thing that ever happened to her!

“No. Normally, such a test would only be necessary if there is a critical risk in the Down syndrome screening test. But Lucia has already done this test and the result is normal. Why would she go through all this trouble?” Arthur said confidently. In fact, rational as he, such a suspicion must have made him rule out all other possibilities.

Sophie was silent for a long time as if she was considering the odds, but in fact, she had been running around the room clutching her phone. She was so excited that she didn’t know how to process the good news!

“Mom?” Arthur, who hadn’t heard from her for a long time, didn’t know that his mother had lost her modesty. She was so excited! He thought she didn’t trust his judgment, so he continued,

“Although I’m not 100% sure, no matter who this baby belongs to, I hope that I can do my best to take care of the baby. Lucia was right at that time. During the time between Teddy’s birth and our meeting, I never did my duty as a father. No matter how much I love Teddy in the future, that gap will never be filled. Therefore, I won’t miss this chance to make up for it.”
