Chapter 325 Grievances
He had just entered the living room and before he could call his parents, he was shocked to see a man sitting in the living room. "Otis, why are you back?"
That was right. There was another person at home who still wanted to see Arthur, and that was Otis, who just flew to New York to report the situation to Edwin.
"Arthur, I haven't seen you in a long time." Otis stood up and walked over and patted Arthur on the shoulder. His normally serious features softened a lot, then he looked at Lucia who was standing beside him and said,
"You should be Lucia Webb. Miss Webb. Nice to meet you. I'm Arthur's brother Otis."
"Hi, Otis." Lucia smiled and shook hands with Otis. She called him politely. Otis represented her modesty with degree, which was neither too rusty nor contrived.
Otis and Edwin's personalities were almost the same, and their vision of seeing people and things was very similar. So it was not surprising that they liked Lucia at a glance. And it was mainly because the light
in Lucia's eyes was too warm and lovely. In such a pair of eyes, it was afraid that steel will also become soft in front of her. Otis couldn't turn serious towards her.
"Can I call you Lucia?" Otis asked with a smile. After Lucia nodded slightly and shyly, he continued, "I never had the chance to meet you before, but today I finally have the honor to meet you."
Arthur stared at the smile on Otis's face in disbelief, knowing that the number of times his brother smiled at people could be counted with his fingers, especially with people he just met. Lucia...was so charming...
Even though Otis was his brother, Arthur couldn't help but feel jealous.
"I hear Arthur mention you a lot. It's nice to meet you, too." Lucia responded with a smile.
Otis felt it polite when he heard Lucia's words, and he shook his head to Lucia and said, "Lucia, don't comfort me. Arthur has been most afraid of seeing me since he was a child, and the chance of him mentioning me is less than that of Mars hitting the earth."
Lucia thought that Otis was very serious, and saw him even teasing Arthur, so she admitted with a smile, "Well, he never mentioned you. It was Sophie who told me."
"Lucia..." Arthur was so embarrassed and speechless when his woman and Otis complained in front of him.
Otis and Lucia looked at each other and smiled. Because they also loved Arthur, they had a wonderful sense of tacit understanding.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Just as the three were talking, Edwin and Sophie came downstairs. Even though Edwin and his wife had been together for decades and they were even childhood friends who had known each other since childhood, they had always been in love as before. Edwin walked slowly down the stairs, holding Sophie by the hand. Sophie was graceful and calm with his support, smiling sweetly. At first glance, she was a woman whom her husband loved all his life.
Lucia looked at the couple, and her heart was suddenly filled with some strange emotion. She couldn't explain the feeling, but she felt envious and moved.
This was called "holding your hand and growing old together with you".
Edwin and Sophie went down the stairs. When Edwin just let go of Sophie and walked towards the three, the expression on his face was a little... angry? Once in front of the three, Sophie raised her hands to pat Arthur and Otis without hesitation, blaming,
"You two, let Lucia stand?!"
Arthur and Otis were speechless at the same time, and a question of whether she was their mother came to their minds.
Glancing at her two sons, Sophie took Lucia's hand and said happily, "Lucia, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why are you thinner? Did Arthur treat you badly?"
Lucia's cheeks were slightly red. Before she had time to answer, Edwin also came over, looked at Lucia lovingly and said, "I think you're a little thinner. It must be Arthur's fault!"
"Dad! Mom!" Arthur felt wronged. He really didn't bully Lucia!
"Sophie, Edwin, I've been busy taking back the Webbex Group recently. It's a lot of work, not Arthur's business." Lucia explained for Arthur with a smile.
"It's because you're busy that he should care more about you, shouldn't he, Arthur?" Edwin asked Lucia, turning his head to look at Arthur.
In the eyes of outsiders, Sophie and Edwin were too partial to Lucia, and they were too serious. Even if Lucia was a daughter-in-law, there was no need to dote on her so much. But only they knew in their hearts how much the Davis family owed Lucia. Giving her all the care and kindness was really not an exaggeration.
"Yes, I was negligent." Arthur simply admitted his mistake, and took the initiative to accuse Lucia, "Lucia, Dad is right. You work so hard. I should care more about you."
The person who was speechless this time was Lucia.
Lucia realized what a meticulous care was.
A few people were seated. Sophie kept holding Lucia and sat next to her. Even her husband and sons sat on the side. She asked in detail about taking back the Webbex Group, during which Lucia thanked Edwin again. Edwin said with a smile. The further the topic went, the more serious they became.
Finally, they mentioned Esmae.
Telling his parents about the details of their meeting with Esmae yesterday, Arthur sighed, "Ms. Wilson's obsession is really too deep."
Edwin and Sophie were heartbroken when they heard Lucia's dilemma, but there was no way to solve it for a while. Seeing that Lucia's brows were lightly frowned because of the mention of this matter, Sophie took her hand and said apologetically,
"Lucia, because we put you in such a dilemma, we really..."
Sophie felt that the word guilt was not enough to describe her feelings.
"Sophie," Lucia hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's none of your business. There is no right or wrong in this matter, only who can see it, and who is still obsessed. You have already tried your best to make up for it. It's just she..."
Although she tried her best to remain calm on the surface, when she mentioned Esmae, Lucia's voice and expression couldn't help but changed a bit.
Arthur looked at Lucia distressedly, and said to his parents, "I wanted to bring Teddy back this time, but I didn't expect Spencer to go ahead and let Ms. Wilson take precautions and send Teddy to her daughter."
"Esmae's use of child to contain Lucia is really inappropriate. Spencer's way is even more excessive. I talked to Erik with your mom before, but I didn't expect he not only didn't feel guilty, but also blatantly claimed that we owe him everything, and directly challenged us and threatened to take back everything he lost," Edwin said after a long sigh.
