My Mommy Is A CEO

Chapter 59 – On the verge of collapse



“It’s okay, eat some more.” Sophie continued to cook breakfast without any influence, and also asked Lucia to wait for herself in the dining room first, the kitchen is full of fumes.

Lucia felt even more uncomfortable when she noticed Sophie’s concern, and out of guilt, she did not walk away, but insisted on standing at the door and waiting for Sophie.

Sophie saw her like this and did not say anything, continued the work in her hands, ten minutes later, two bowls of hot mushroom porridge came out, Lucia saw the situation and rushed over to help bring the porridge to the dining room table.

“Auntie Sophie, haven’t you had your breakfast yet?” Lucia asked when she saw that Sophie had cooked her own portion as well.

“Well, let’s eat together.” Sophie replied as she untied her apron and sat with Lucia, taking the lead in picking up a spoon and starting to drink the porridge.

Lucia realized that Sophie had come here without breakfast, and her guilt deepened, so she could only pick up a spoon, but the mushroom congee in front of her tasted unappetizing.

Halfway down the porridge, Sophie decided the time was right, so she turned to Lucia and asked, “Lucia, Arthur came home last night and told me you were breaking up with him, right?”

She knew this would be asked, but Lucia frowned slightly when she heard it, and she mentally tightened her emotions before nodding.

“Can you tell Auntie Sophie why?” Sophie continued to ask.

Lucia smelled a stagnant movement, this small action made Sophie more sure of her suspicions, besides, Lucia looked like she had not slept all night, her tired appearance was not deceiving, since they loved each other, why couldn’t they be together, what was the reason why they couldn’t not compromise?

“Lucia, you know Arthur’s character very well, what exactly are you giving him up for?” Sophie said while carefully observing Lucia’s expression.

Sophie thought she could impress Lucia with her words, but she was disappointed when Lucia replied immediately after her words:

“Auntie Sophie, I know you’re all guessing if I gave up on this relationship for some other reason, but it really wasn’t. I was emotionally scarred and had already built high walls outside my heart, and I admit that Arthur’s tenderness touched me at first, but it was only temporary.

This time apart and place, I found that our feelings are more built on top of having a common child only, he is certainly affectionate, but I can not because I covet a harbor to rely on with him, it is not fair, so I choose to break up, while he is not yet in the mud.”

He has long been mired in the mud and hopeless!

Looking at Lucia who said these seemingly sensible words, Sophie replied quietly in her heart, but her words sounded like they were really the same thing, and Sophie thought twice and said again:

“Lucia, a sincere relationship is very difficult to meet, I believe that no one knows this truth better than you, so I just want to come here today to ask the reason why exactly

What? Doing this is not only to defend my son, but also for you.

Auntie Sophie was watching you guys start dating and getting deeper and deeper, you said your feelings calmed down after the separation, so why didn’t you make it clear from the beginning? Christmas, New Year, this holiday period you have more than enough opportunities to break up with Arthur directly to avoid the current entanglement, but why you directly choose to avoid, and even shut down the phone out of touch?”

Sophie feels that Lucia is simply using that time to force herself to compromise and force herself to leave Arthur.

Sure enough, Lucia was speechless and had no answer.

Sophie felt like she was about to open Lucia’s heart, but she watched as Lucia clenched her fist and continued her perseverance:

“Everyone was with their loved ones during that time, and I just didn’t want to break his heart at this time.”

“If you don’t contact him, does he have a good time?” Sophie’s eloquence was honed through countless business trips, and none of the reasons Lucia said were reasons at all in her eyes.

This Lucia choked again, under her eyes revealed a strong helplessness, only Sophie did not understand what it was for.

“Auntie Sophie, I’ve made this clear to Arthur and won’t change my decision, you really don’t need to …” Lucia thought for a moment and said this, but before she could finish her sentence she was Sophie cut it off.

“Don’t I need to?” Sophie interrupted Lucia’s words, her voice dripping with heartache:

“Do you know what Arthur’s state was when he got home last night? He came back all the way with the wind blowing, and was almost frozen when he arrived home. That was the first time in many, many years that I saw his eyes red, and the breakup was a decision you made unilaterally, which could not erase his deep love. As a mother, I had to find you and ask you what it was that made you want to hurt him like that!”

Sophie said at the end, the tone of voice has been can not help but bring a stern.

Hearing Arthur’s state after leaving last night, Lucia immediately looked away from Sophie, as if she had found something, Sophie clearly saw her shoulders shaking slightly, but when she wanted to continue to ask questions, Lucia suddenly turned back to the moment of vulnerability she saw just now does not seem to exist, she said:

“Auntie Sophie, relationships are never between two people, I’m sorry Arthur, but there are some principles that cannot be disobeyed, I’m sorry, I won’t change my decision.”

“You child!” Seeing Lucia did not change her mind in the slightest, Sophie was all of a sudden furious, but after saying these four words, she looked into Lucia’s eyes and could no longer say anything.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Lucia’s eyes, too complex, there are too many emotions, Sophie can only read a little helplessness, a little guilt, a little heartache, but more, is she can not read the emotions.

What kind of situation would a person be in to reveal such a complex look in his eyes?

Sophie didn’t know, but she knew Lucia was on the verge of a breakdown.

It is useless to ask further, Sophie knows this clearly, so she can only sigh and say: “I know, Lucia, Auntie Sophie does not force you, but also please do not forget, Arthur’s deep love for you.”

After speaking, Sophie did not continue to eat the remaining half bowl of porridge, she stood up and left the restaurant and went straight to the coat rack, put on her coat and then opened the door and left, she wanted to give Lucia some time to think and weigh.

After Sophie left, Lucia was like a puppet with strings pulled out of her chair. She slumped over the table and looked at Sophie’s remaining half bowl of porridge, her heart bitter.

An hour later, Arthur waited until his mother shook her head and sighed, and without Sophie having to say anything more, he said with his own understanding, “Still the same, is it?”

Sophie looked at Arthur with distress and could only reply, “Well, Lucia is like ironclad and won’t change her mind.”

“Yeah?” Arthur’s voice sounded like he had no strength left, and his whole body leaned into the sofa, looking disheveled as hell.

“Son, will you give up?” Sophie sat next to Arthur and asked tenderly.
