She Is A CEO

Esmae, when they went upstairs, questioned Chris,

“Chris, why are you helping Arthur?”

“Esmae,” Chris took Esmae’s hand and said matter-of-factly,

“Your beef with the Edwins has already spilled over into Lucia, and now is it going to spill over into Teddy’s life? So what’s Spencer like? It would be more dangerous for Teddy to stay with Lucia. It wouldn’t be right for us to keep him, and it would be right for him to stay with Arthur.”

“I know…” Esmae was only willing to admit to her husband that she agreed with Arthur, but then she added,

“I just don’t want them to get what they want.”

Knowing how much Esmae hated Edwin and Sophie, Chris asked her tentatively, “Is there really no solution to your feud?”

“No solution!” said Esmae obstinately, with hate in her eyes.

Sighing, Chris took his wife in his arms and said gently, “I’ll be with you no matter what.”

Esmae’s eyes twinkled and she was moved. He had said the same thing when she was at her lowest ebb.

“Chris, thank you…” Esmae whispered, not only for the love he had given her, but also for the change he had made in her life.

Chris smiled gently, didn’t say anything, and just hugged Esmae even tighter.

On the other hand, Lucia felt relieved after hanging up the phone. Theodore’s custody had been a constant worry for her after her break with Arthur. She knew Spencer wanted to hold her son in check. Now Arthur was the first to ask for custody back, which was the best thing for her.

Although it will be difficult to see his son, at least she did not worry about Theodore would suffer any grievances.

So Lucia just agreed without any hesitation.
