She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 161

"Go to Chicago to visit Grandma Esmae," Lucia replied, holding Theodore.

"Why are we going to Grandma Esmae all of a sudden? Don't I need to go to kindergarten?" Theodore missed Esmae, but he couldn't understand why they went to Chicago all of a sudden. He still had to go to kindergarten later.

"Mommy has taken a leave of absence for you," Lucia squatted down, looked at Theodore tenderly, and said, "Mommy has to take a big case recently and will be very busy, so you go and stay with Grandma Esmae for some time. When I am done with it, I will pick you up and take you back home, okay?"

Lucia made this decision after a whole night of deliberation. She could not leave Athegate now. If Theodore was around her, clever as he was, he would find Arthur had broken up with her one day. Lucia couldn't figure out how to explain such a complicated thing to her son. The best solution was to have him live with Esmae for days, and then pick him up when she could face up to everything.

Theodore tilted his head and stared at Lucia for a while.

Then he smiled sweetly, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "Okay, Teddy will go live with Grandma Esmae first. Don't worry, Mommy. I'll take care of myself, and you should take care of yourself too."

"That's my good boy." It was so sweet of Theodore that Lucia couldn't help but take him into her arms, trying her best to hold back the tears that welled up in her eyes.

Then, Lucia took Theodore on a flight to Chicago at noon. After more than ten hours of flight, the two arrived smoothly. Lucia did not notify Esmae in advance, so no one came to pick them up. She took Theodore to the exit and waited for the taxi. At this time, a familiar voice rang out beside her.

"Are you Lucia?"

It was surprising to hear local Athegate language in the USA. Lucia turned her head with a twinkle in her eye and found that the person who spoke to her was Spencer!

"Mr. Davies, what are you doing here?"

"I knew it was you," Spencer put on a soft smile, looked at Theodore, and asked, "Do you take Teddy here for a trip? Hello, Teddy, remember me? I'm Uncle Spencer."

Theodore, who had a photographic memory, recognized Spencer at once, so he politely said, "Hello, Uncle Spencer."

Lucia said to Spencer with a polite smile, "No, I got back here to take care of business. If you will excuse me, my taxi arrives."

The taxi stopped beside Lucia. Before she could open the car door, Spencer waved his hand to signal for the driver to drive away.

When Lucia turned her head and frowned at him, he said with a smile, "Where are you going? I'll just drop you and Teddy off."

"Would it be too much trouble for you?" Spencer's proposal repulsed her.

"No, where are you going?" Saying that, Spencer took the suitcase in Lucia's hand.

Theodore felt the smile on Spencer's face was insincere, and he pulled at the hem of Lucia's shirt.

Lucia looked down and made eye contact with Theodore, reassuring him by the eye. Then she gave Spencer the address of Browns Manor.

"Are you going to Browns Manor to see Ms. Wilson?" Spencer asked Lucia, faking a surprised look.

Lucia raised her eyebrows slightly in puzzlement.
