Chapter 629 Meet Nia
Theodore, no matter how smart he was, was still a kid. He was happy to have those snacks, while looking at the photos on the table.
Seeing his own photo, and his father and mother's photo, he smiled with his eyes curved.
Arthur's eyes softened when he noticed Theodore's gaze. He stroked his son's hair and asked him about his life in New York. Although they often video-chatted, it was not as intimate as face-to-face. Arthur was eager to make up for his child.
Theodore patiently answered his father's questions. After a while, he remembered something and said to Arthur, "Dad, last time you said you were going after someone named Jacob, right?"
"Yes," Arthur replied. "Do you have any ideas?"
Arthur had previously asked Kyle to send someone to track Jacob down, but he hadn't taken over because he purposely erased the "footprint" of his connection to Nia.
"Of course!" Theodore said with a proud look. "I will take care of that."
"Please," Arthur said softly, rubbing Theodore's soft hair.
Arthur spent the day with Theodore at the company, and his son even accompanied him to an important meeting, where Theodore played with his tablet without disturbing his father. Arthur rarely got home on time and met his parents.
"Bailey and the others were supposed to come, but I didn't let them," Sophie said to Arthur over dinner.
"When they come, Otis couldn't help himself. Now is not really the time for him to come to Athegate," Arthur said with an understanding nod.
"Arthur, are you going to the christening tomorrow, too?" Sophie thought of all possibilities, but she wasn't sure what her son was thinking.
"Of course," Arthur said without hesitation, with his eyes darkening.
Sophie sighed a little. If Arthur were to attend, there would be chaos, and for once she did not want him to.
"Mom, don't worry. I do want to see Lucia and the baby, but there's something more important that I have to do. So, I'll keep a low profile tomorrow and won't cause any unnecessary disputes." Arthur seemed to have read his mother's mind, giving her advance notice.
"That's good," Sophie continued, feeling relieved. "Tomorrow is about the baby, and I want the kids to be happy."
"Me too," Arthur said softly, smiling gently at his mother.
That night, Theodore insisted that he should sleep with his father together. Arthur was happy and they chatted for a long time before falling asleep.
The next day, with Theodore at ease with his grandparents, Arthur returned to the office, and as soon as he entered the office, he called Kyle.
"Mr. Davies." Kyle came in and greeted him respectfully.
"Get in touch with Nia and tell her I'll be there at 10:00," Arthur said nonchalantly, but Kyle's reaction was surprising.
"You're going to see Nia?! In person?" From Kyle's point of view, Arthur's initiative to see Nia was a degradation.
"Yes,"
," said Arthur, with a heavy look in his eyes, "I'm going to see her myself."
Kyle was shocked, but seeing that his words were firm, he didn't question anything anymore. He immediately contacted Nia's assistant and arranged this meeting that he thought was very unreasonable. At 9:40 am, Arthur showed up at the Stable Growth building on time and was alone. Even Kyle wasn't allowed to follow.
As soon as he entered the lobby of Stable Growth Investment, Arthur didn't have to say anything. The receptionist immediately came to greet him respectfully. Everyone at Athegate knew him.
"Mr. Davies, Ms. Davidson instructed me to direct you to her office as soon as I saw you."
"Really?" Arthur replied indifferently. "Then lead the way."
The receptionist was overjoyed to have this honor. When she entered the elevator with Arthur, her heart was pounding and her face was red. She couldn't help but glance at the handsome man beside her. Arthur kept looking straight ahead, even though he knew the receptionist was peeping at him.
Ding! The elevator stopped on the 18th floor. This was Nia's office. Arthur stepped out of the elevator first. The receptionist behind him quickly took a few quick steps to leave Arthur to Nia's assistant before she reluctantly returned to the elevator.
Nia's assistant was equally respectful to Arthur and quickly took him to the CEO without any delay.
Although she was on her own turf, Nia was still nervous to see Arthur again. As soon as Arthur stepped into the office, Nia immediately went over and greeted him warmly,
"Mr. Davies, welcome."
After saying that, Nia winked at the assistant, and she immediately walked out. After the two of them sat down, the assistant came back and served them a cup of coffee, then left on her own to let the office be quiet.
Nia picked up her coffee and took a sip before she calmed down a little. Seeing that Arthur wasn't going to say anything and instead was looking around her office, she was silent for a while before finally losing her temper and couldn't help but speak first,
"Why do you come to see me personally?"
Arthur slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Nia nonchalantly. He asked, "Will you be attending Spencer's christening for his daughter this afternoon?"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Nia nodded in amazement that Arthur came for this? But what did he want with her?
"Spencer was kind enough to invite you," Arthur said with a chuckle.
"Probably to avoid suspicion," Nia said carefully, using her words carefully, "He suspected that I was spreading rumors in the circle so he invited me, presumably to prove me wrong me in the public." "Will you go?" Arthur asked, not agreeing.
Nia pursed her lips, looked up at Arthur, and asked, "Mr. Davies, are you concerned about this? I assume Spencer invited you as well? After all..."
He hated him so much. How could he miss the opportunity to embarrass him in public? Nia didn't finish her words.
"He didn't invite me," Arthur said nonchalantly, lowering his eyes. "You of all people should know why."
Nia's heart skipped a beat. Was Arthur accusing her of spreading rumors that Lucia's daughter was his? For a moment, she did not dare to answer. Seeing that Nia was silent, Arthur sneered silently and said,
"Don't worry. I'm not here to pursue it."
