Chapter 45 Family Video
Arthur finally released Lucia and looked down at her.
“Isn’t it time we let Theodore know where he came from?”
Arthur also wanted to be a proper father. Every time Theodore called him “Uncle Arthur”, he felt a little upset.
Lucia nodded at the words. There had been a lot going on. Thanks to Sophie’s meticulous care of Theodore, she was able to concentrate on other matters. But she forgot to be honest with her son.
“Well, let’s explain it to him. He’s very good at understanding. I’m sure he’ll get over it soon.” Lucia wasn’t too worried that her son wouldn’t be able to handle it.
But speaking of her son, she took Arthur’s hand and stood up. Then she said, “Let’s go see our son.”
“Okay.” Arthur jumped up with her. He was thinking of it, too.
The two of them walked together, hand in hand, into Theodore’s own small room, deliberately stepping softly, and then standing beside the bed. Looking at Theodore’s lovely sleeping face on the racing bed, Lucia and Arthur felt a bond that was unlike any other. The child in the bed was hers and his.
While the two of them were enjoying this wonderful bond, Arthur’s mobile phone rang. The chief executive, who was always calm and calm, hurriedly took out his cell phone and silenced it to check on Theodore. Relieved that he was not awakened, Arthur made a gesture to Lucia to answer the phone and went back to the living room to answer phone.
Lucia waited for Arthur to leave, then went to bed next to Theodore, hugged his little body, and said happily.
“Baby, you have a daddy now.”
In the living room, Arthur answered the phone. “Dad.”
“Well, turn on the computer and we’ll do the video chat.” Arthur’s father Edwin had a deep voice. When he got through the phone, he cut straight to the point without any nonsense and hung up the phone very readily.
He quickly turned on his computer and opened the chat software. If he had been any slower, he would get a second phone call from his dad. Sure enough, as soon as he clicked on the chat app, he received a video call. He clicked yes, and four pretty faces popped up on the screen.
It was a multiplayer video chat…
Arthur looked at his father Edwin, his big brother Otis Davies, his second brother Bailey Davies and his younger brother Douglas Davies on the screen.
“You’re too slow.” When the video is connected, Edwin’s first sentence was to complain. But when he saw the son that he had not seen for a long time, his eyes were still very loving.
Arthur was very gorgeous, so you could imagine how gorgeous Edwin was, after all, their four brothers all inherited his appearance.
On the screen, Edwin, who was nearly 60 years old, had white hair at the temples but looked refreshed and his eyes were bright. The wrinkles on his face, carved by age, were filled with the hormones of a mature man, exuding mature charm.
“Arthur.” Following his father’s complaint, Otis called Arthur. Otis’s looks and personality were the most alike to Edwin’s of the four brothers. And because he was in the prime of his life, he was pretty. He had crossed the boundary of maturity and was not yet in his twilight years, and his appearance was at its peak.
“Otis.” Arthur laughed and called Otis, as Bailey spoke.
“Arthur, I heard that you’re having a good time.” Bailey was the ruffian, sluttiest, and most popular of the four. He was on the more handsome side. There always seemed to be a smile in his long, thin eyes. Because of these eyes, Sophie had previously complained that Bailey was too popular and could pick up women wherever he went, but he is also the most easygoing one.”
“Arthur, don’t mind him. He just got chewed out by Mom about Miss Wilkinson and he was just picking a fight.” The speaker was Arthur’s only younger brother, Douglas, the youngest of the Davies family. Douglas just turned 22 this year, and his beautiful face was still childish.
“Douglas, I’m warning you not to bring it up!” Bailey was not pleased when he heard what Douglas said, but his warning was met with an unconcerned grimace.
“Bailey, you need to pull yourself together!” Edwin said in a stern fatherly manner, and Bailey stopped quickly but grumbled disapprovingly.
“I thought we were talking about Arthur. Please don’t make this about me.” Bailey didn’t want to talk about his bad relationships, especially in front of his dad.
“Arthur, we all know about you and Miss Webb. Do you mean it?” Otis asked Arthur. In the Davies family, apart from Edwin and Douglas, who were still studying abroad, the other three brothers were all working for Davonnis Corp in major cities in the country, so he and Bailey knew the news before their father and younger brother.
“Yes, I mean it.” Arthur nodded with certainty.
“I heard that Miss Webb had a very complicated history, right?” Lucia was the woman Arthur loved, so Edwin asked very gently.
Arthur knew his father would ask. He looked at Theodore’s room and saw no sign of Lucia coming out. Then he began to tell his father and his brothers what had happened to Lucia.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“This thing… It started five years ago…”
When Arthur finished telling all that had happened to Lucia and revealed that Theodore was his own son, even Edwin, who usually looked serious, could not hide his surprise. Bailey even cried out on the spot.
“Oh, my god, is there really such a mysterious fate in the world?”
“Keep your voice down. Theodore is still sleeping.” Theodore’s door was open. Arthur was afraid that Bailey’s screams would disturb him and Lucia.
“What? Are you at her house right now?” Bailey became even more excited when he heard this. Was his brother already living with her?
“Bailey!” Arthur almost said the word through gritted teeth.
Bailey liked to tease Arthur, who was the only one of his brothers who had been steady and experienced since childhood. But that was all. He did not dare to upset Arthur. Bailey still remembered the revenge he suffered for upsetting Arthur as a child.
Bailey immediately shut up, and before Edwin spoke, Otis asked.
“Are you sure?”
Otis has a rigorous style like Edwin’s. That was the question Edwin wanted to ask right now. In the past decade, since the Davies family’s boys grew up, they had had untold numbers of such “coincidences”. Some held their babies and said they were the Davies family’s boys, while others faked pregnancy to catch their hearts. These techniques abound. These tactics were not new.
After all, the Davies family was a famous chaebol in the USA. They were undoubtedly the top rich family in the eyes of many gold diggers. It was not unusual for these gold diggers to try to get close to them.
Arthur didn’t explain much. He took the paternity report from the drawer and showed it to his father and brothers. It was more powerful than any words.
Otis and Edwin looked relieved when they saw the report. Arthur did not seem to be getting carried away.
They had talked privately about Arthur’s relationship before. As men, they knew that Arthur, who seemed to be cold, was more serious than anyone else once he started a relationship. They all wanted Arthur to meet the right person. Now, it seemed that they didn’t have to worry too much.
“Congratulations, Arthur. Suddenly you have a wife and a son. When are you going to bring them home?” Douglas, who was well-behaved, promptly gave Arthur his blessing.
Among the brothers, the eldest brother Otis was too strict, and the second brother Bailey could be directly ignored. Douglas idolized Arthur, who was different from others since childhood. When they were young, the brothers were playful and often clashed with other children because of racial issues. At a time like this, Arthur was always the calmest, most rational person to start planning his revenge.
