My Mommy Is A CEO

“Alright.” Seeing that his brow still furrowed, Sophie tried to distract him with other topics, “You’ve packed already. Let’s go.”

Meanwhile, Jan walked in as well, leaving little time for Arthur to get worried. The three of them went to the airport together. After more than ten hours of flight, they finally arrived.

The head quarter of Davonnis Corp was in the busiest part of Wall Street, adjacent to other top financial companies, thriving in a modest manner.

The Davies Manor, however, was more low-key. It was built on a manor that used to belong to a declining aristocrat.

On his way home, he heard that his other three brothers had already arrived home. The one that came to pick them up at the airport was of course the big brother, Otis. Though the Davies family had plenty servants, who would be more appropriate than Otis to pick up Master Arthur and Lady Sophie.

Though both of them developed business in the same country, they had their own thing to do. The chances for them to meet each other was rather scarce, so when eventually met, they could not help embracing each other.

The warm atmosphere of family meeting together was Sophie’s favorite. She looked at both her sons with a content smile.

“Come, dad, Bailey and Douglas are all waiting for you.” Otis said and was about to leading them home, but Arthur said he needed to call someone first.

Otis was confused. Who was he calling?

Sophie could not help rolling her eyes, “Did you forget his girlfriend and son? Of course, he needs to call them first.”

“Right. Mom, didn’t you tell us you were going to come back together? Where are they?” Otis smiled.

Sophie told him that they had come back first and was now in Chicago. Arthur was contacting with them.

Otis nodded. His attention, together with his mother’s, fell on Arthur who was making a call in the corner.

But gradually, they found something was not right.

The look on Arthur’s face was getting more and more sullen. Sophie and Otis approached him to ask what was going on.

“It’s still off.”

Arthur frowned.

Sophie had no idea what she could say to comfort him, “Let’s just go home first, alright?”

Arthur nodded. On the way back, he continued to call Lucia without saying a word.

Both Otis and Sophie didn’t know how to talk him out of that. After three hours’ drive, they arrived at the outskirts of New York. The Davies manor came into their eyes. While the car was driving in, Arthur was lost in his thoughts the whole time.

On the main staircase, Edwin was waiting for his wife and sons. Bailey and Douglas, too, was waiting for their mother and brothers. The minute the car was parked, Douglas rushed down to open the car door for his mother. Sophie got off and was surrounded by her two sons.

“Mom, you are back.” Said Douglas.

“Mom, welcome back.” Said Bailey.

Sophie smiled and hugged them back. She meant to visit Otis, Bailey and Arthur, but the visit was delayed, for she met Theodore in Athegate first, and then she knew the existence of Lucia. Anyway, it was good to finally see them, but…

Sophie looked back into the car, where Arthur was still making the phone call. Her worry grew.

“Arthur, get off.” Douglas said to him while noticing he was still in the car, but the latter seemed ignorant to his calling. Douglas then wanted to move closer but was stopped by Sophie.

“Just leave him alone. Let’s get inside.” Sophie said, while stopping Douglas. When she saw her husband walking towards her, she opened her arms and gently welcomed his hug, “Edwin, I’m back.”

Edwin hugged her. Though he always seemed severe and stern, there was a soft look on his face. When he noticed that Arthur was still in the car, he asked, “What’s Arthur doing in there?”

Sophie did not answer immediately, instead, she signaled Bailey, Douglas and Otis to get into the main house and sit on the couch in the living room, then she started talking about how they lost contact with Lucia.

“So, he’s doing all these things just for a woman? He didn’t even say hello to us.” Edwin said harshly, but his care for Arthur was secretly flowing in his eyes.

“It’s not his fault.” Sophie added, “He loved Lucia. She’s his first love. Of course, he cared about her.”

“Mom,” Bailey frowned after hearing his mother’s words, “Is it possible that Arthur is fooled?”

Among his brothers, Bailey was the one that attracted women the most. He was more than annoyed by their courtship. Since he had seen a lot of money-chasing women, he was able to tell their little tricks. Therefore, he had such guesses.

The minute he finished his words, a resolute voice came from the entry of the living room, “No, it’s not.”

They turned around, only to find that Arthur, with a strange look on his face, had been standing there since they didn’t know when.

“It was just a joke.” Receiving the condemning look from Arthur and other family members, bailey tried to find himself an excuse, so that he could be less blamed. He didn’t mean it…

Sophie gave him a glance and stood up to pull Arthur closer. Then, Arthur greeted Edwin, Bailey, whom he had not seen for a long time, and Douglas, his youngest brother. With Lucia’s disappearance hanging over his like a sword of Damocles, he was not in the mood of chit-chat.

Otis and Edwin exchanged a look, and asked, “Look, Arthur. Didn’t you tell us that Miss Webb went to Chicago to visit her family? Do you know who she was going to visit? Any name or other information? I can ask some friends to help you find out where they are.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Otis’s suggestions were the most practical one. Once he proposed, both Bailey and Douglas proposed that they would do the same. And they could still count on the connections that the Davies family already had. Though searching Miss Webb in Chicago was like finding a needle in the sea, it would be better to have more people in the team.

Sophie, however, slightly frowned. She looked at Arthur, who was also looking at her, frowning. Then he answered in a lowered voice, “I don’t know.”
