My Mommy Is A CEO

Lucia’s heart softened when she heard Arthur’s words. Although Arthur seemed cold to others, he was actually very gentle.

After Arthur and Lauren finished their conversation, Lucia asked him,

“Arthur, who should we send to provide protection?”

Arthur thought for a moment and whispered a few names to Lucia’s ear. After listening, Lucia raised her eyebrows in disbelief and stared at Arthur intently.

“Are you sure you want to involve them?”

“Sure,” Arthur replied with a slight smile.

Lucia stared at Arthur, looking left and right for a long time before asking,

“Arthur, what are you thinking about?”

Arthur smiled and said nothing, kissing away Lucia’s doubts.

Two days later, Lucia and Arthur stood at the airport exit of Athegate. These two days had been a mix of emotions for Lucia. On one hand, she was happy to see them again, but on the other hand, she was curious as to why Arthur had invited them. However, no matter how many questions she had, it wouldn’t change anything. Their flight would be arriving soon.

“Lucia!” Just as Lucia was still frowning and savoring the complexity, a cheer made her instantly excited. She turned around and saw that they had arrived!

“Victor! Nick! Jack! Gene!” Lucia beamed with a bright smile, waving her hand towards the four tall men who were dragging their suitcases towards her.

Yes, the candidate for protection proposed by Arthur was indeed the four of them.

As soon as they heard Lucia’s voice, Jack and the others couldn’t help but feel excited. For Lucia and Arthur, they had a special bond with them that may never be erased in their lifetime.

Then they lifted their feet and the four mature and steady men rushed over with their luggage. As soon as they arrived in front of Lucia and Arthur, the most enthusiastic Victor threw his luggage aside and gave Lucia a big hug directly.

“Lucia, long time no see!”

Looking at Victor’s familiar and enthusiastic smiling face so close, Lucia couldn’t help but feel her eyes welling up with tears. They really hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

Before Victor had a chance to release Lucia, Jack couldn’t help but tease from the side, “Victor, be careful that your hand doesn’t get chopped off. Mr. Davies looks like he’s about to shoot fire from his eyes.”

Lucia turned her head at the sound and saw Arthur glaring fiercely at Victor and his hands embracing her. She couldn’t help but laugh silently as the emotions that had built up inside of her just moments ago were instantly dissipated.

“Mr. Davies,” Gene gave Arthur an equally enthusiastic hug without hesitation, and rare for him, he teased him,

“Still so jealous.”

Arthur’s mouth twitched slightly as he tried to maintain his composure, but his words came out through gritted teeth, “Victor, can you let go now?”

Victor acted like a big kid, making faces at Arthur before letting go of Lucia. He was only joking around, but he didn’t want to anger the jealous one.

As soon as Victor let go, Arthur pulled Lucia back to his side. This childish move made everyone laugh uncontrollably, even Lucia couldn’t stop laughing.

It was great seeing them again.

They exchanged greetings and warm feelings flowed between them. Arthur took Jack and the others directly to the hotel where Nia and Kevin were staying. Of course, he wouldn’t introduce them until everything had been explained clearly. Instead, he treated them to a meal in the hotel restaurant first.

“Mr. Davies,” Jack asked while they ate. “Why do we need to protect Nia and that guy Kevin? You didn’t explain it on the phone.”

Arthur briefly explained the complex relationship centered around Lauren. As soon as Victor finished listening, he raised a question,

“Isn’t it overkill for us four to come back just for this small matter?”

Victor wasn’t being arrogant. It was just that their abilities were too much for protecting Nia and Kevin alone.

Lucia also looked at Arthur with her own doubts in her heart.

Arthur smiled and replied, “Lauren is my good friend. There’s no harm in having you guys come back.”

Victor wasn’t satisfied with this obviously evasive answer but before he could ask further questions, Jack changed the subject,

“We went to see Kylee before coming here. She can run now! She looks so cute just like Lucia.”

As soon as Kylee was mentioned, Victor had countless things to say about her which naturally transitioned into talking about children.

Arthur secretly gave Jack a grateful look, and Jack understood perfectly.

Although Lucia also wanted to inquire further, she knew Arthur’s temperament well. If he didn’t want to talk about something, he would really keep his lips sealed. So, she let it go and joined in the conversation with Victor about Kylee. Laughter filled the lunchtime as they enjoyed each other’s company.

After lunch, Lucia had an important meeting, so instead of sending her off himself, Arthur stayed behind introducing Jack and his team as bodyguards for Nia and Kevin instead of explaining why they came back specifically.

Jack asked seriously when they were alone, “Mr. Davies, why did you call us back?”

Despite Jack being the only one who asked directly, Gene and the other were also staring at Arthur with curiosity. The question didn’t just trouble Lucia and Jack. It seemed to pique the interest of the entire group.

Arthur finally gave an answer, “Jacob’s identity has been confirmed. He has a group of loyal gangsters around him, and Lucia is the only one who can’t stay calm when it comes to dealing with Jacob. Once we start closing in on Jacob, he will definitely try to lure Lucia out by any means necessary. Do you think she will just sit still and do nothing with her personality?”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“No,” Gene answered without hesitation.

“So you brought us back here to protect Lucia, right?” Victor asked.

Arthur nodded. “I don’t trust anyone else but you guys… and Lucia doesn’t want me to worry too much, so I had to use this excuse to bring you back. I know you guys have other things to do, but…”

“Don’t be polite with us,” Nick patted Arthur’s shoulder without any reservation. “We may not have a close relationship with your big brother, but we can’t just sit idly by when it comes to how good Lucia has been treating us.”

“Thank you,” Arthur sincerely expressed his gratitude.

“We said don’t be polite,” Victor laughed.

“Well…” Arthur said calmly, “Jacob’s assassination of Nia and Kevin has already alerted the police so he won’t act again for a short period of time. You just need put on a show for now. I’ll keep an eye on Lucia’s situation and we’ll take action if anything happens.”

Jack and his team nodded solemnly as they made their vow once again – they would protect Lucia at all costs according their original agreement.
