Chapter 608 Seeing through

"You know very well what I doubt," Esmae said as she stood up and stared at Spencer. Her eyes were stern and serious,

"Lucia and the baby must be safe!"

Knowing what Esmae was hinting at, Spencer had a million retorts that he wanted to blurt out, but he gritted his teeth and could only suffer.

"Well, let Lucia and baby have a good rest," Esmae said, feeling exhausted by what had happened today, especially after the birth. With that, she glanced tenderly at Lucia, who had fallen asleep, and left her room with Spencer and Helena.

As soon as the three of them left, Lucia on the bed opened her eyes.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Baby," looking at her daughter's peaceful sleeping face, Lucia said gently, "Don't be afraid. Mom and dad will protect you."

Helena took the opportunity to let Jack and the others stay behind openly to make Lucia feel at ease. The baby girl was still young, and she could not figure out if Spencer would do something to her, but she would definitely do her best to protect her and Arthur's child.

Just as Lucia was thinking, the door of the room opened slightly. She looked up and saw Victor's huge body creeping toward her, looking a little funny.

Coming to the bed, Victor said nothing to Lucia, took out his cell phone, turned off the flash and took a few pictures of Lucia and the baby together. Then, he made an OK gesture to her and went back the way he had come. Lucia found it funny.

Of course she knew who Victor was taking the picture for.

Suddenly, Lucia knew that she and the baby were not alone.

On the way home, Arthur received a photo from Victor. He quietly looked at Lucia's expression in the photo, and the baby's sleeping face. The warmth in his heart filled his entire body, and a gentle smile lingered on his lips.

Sophie and Edwin sat across from Arthur and smiled as they watched their son giggle at his phone and their grandson sleeping.

They would reunite again.

Coming out of the room to make sure Helena had gone back to her room, Spencer called out to Esmae, who also wanted to go back to her room, "Ms. Wilson, may I bother you again?"

Esmae glanced at Spencer, and sighed a little. Knowing that he was not reconciled, she nodded and followed him down to the living room.

When Esmae sat down on the sofa, her attendant spread a thick blanket over her lap and stepped aside. Esmae said,

"What do you want to tell me?"

"Ms. Wilson, am I really that untrustworthy?" Spencer turned and stared at Esmae. Agreeing to let Helena's bodyguard stay was proving that Spencer was untrustworthy. "I'm just trying to reassure Lucia," Esmae said quietly, now much calmer,

"She is my daughter and I will not let her worry about her safety or that of her child."

"But..." Spencer knew that he wasn't doing a good job, but there were many complicated reasons. "I promised Lucia that I would treat this child well. If you don't trust me, why would she trust me?" "Treat this child well?" Esmae raised her eyebrows slightly, and though her eyes were soft, a spark flashed through her eyes. "We all know why you're good to the child. If you're lucky enough to be with Lucia in this life, you'll never stop using her. I won't let the child be your means to control Arthur."

"So I'm just a sucker?!" Spencer's heart brimmed with resentment!

"That's why you haven't been able to impress Lucia. Your anger is understandable, but disappointing." Esmae chuckled. She knew why Spencer was upset, and that was why she was disappointed. "Maybe I don't really know how to love. I don't know how to be selfless to someone," Spencer said. He understood what Esmae was saying, but he felt it was too much to ask,

"But I'm with Lucia now, and we're going to be doing this for the rest of our lives. If we can't find a balance, how are we going to keep doing this? Ms. Wilson, I know you love Lucia, but don't be too biased. I didn't create this situation."

Spencer was just trying to get Esmae to say whether she would stand up for him!

Esmae looked down from Spencer's angry, expectant eyes. She thought for a moment and asked slowly,

"What do you want from me?"

When Esmae finally asked the question, Spencer's eyes lit up. She didn't look at him, but he knew he couldn't miss the opportunity.

"Ms. Wilson, you know my father and I have have a wish for years. The Davies Group is now more than half ours! For years, my grandfather's assets have been seized by the Edwins, and we all want what's rightfully ours! Ms. Wilson, I hope you can give us a hand."

When Spencer finished speaking, Esmae looked up at him slowly. His face was full of excitement. Instead of answering, she asked,

"Do you think you have what it takes?"

"As long as you're willing to help us, I have!" Spencer answered without hesitation, not knowing that this was the last thing Esmae wanted to hear.

"The Davies Group has come a long way since its inception. Having a strong family background is an inevitable part of its success, but more importantly, it stems from Edwin's brilliant decision-making and the ability and vision of the four brothers. Even if I help you, do you think you can defeat them?"

Esmae had the answer in her heart. Since ancient times, people who can be a king had courage and many supporters. People, courage, ability, all indispensable. If people wanted to rely on the power of others to get things done, they were just a powerful minister without great achievements. Spencer was such a person.

"I can! With enough support!" Spencer didn't know what Esmae was thinking

"If you want me to take action, you have to be strong enough. Otherwise, it's all for naught. I won't make a loss. Spencer, think about it yourself." She did not say her true thoughts out loud, but gave him an ambiguous answer. Without waiting for him to continue, she got up and went upstairs.

Spencer frowned as Esmae led her attendants upstairs. Esmae seemed to have promised, but she hadn't.

Didn't he have enough strength?!

Spencer was arrogant and conceited. He can see through others, but he can't see himself through.
