Chapter 688 Finally Reunited
"They're back. They're finally back." Sophie's eyes were red and her voice trembled before she could see anyone.
Edwin hugged his wife tightly and looked forward to it. Douglas carried up his favorite nephew and went out with his family to welcome Arthur, Lucia, of course, the cute little princess.
As they walked out the front door, Edwin and the others walked down the stairs. Just as they were about to greet Arthur, who had already opened the car door, they saw him raise his hand and make a silent gesture. They instantly stopped their desire to speak in unison.
When they looked down, they saw it was Lucia who had fallen asleep.
Sophie looked distressed and asked softly, "Is Lucia tired?"
Arthur nodded and handed his daughter to Sophie, who quickly took her granddaughter over excitedly. Looking down, her heart was melted by her cuteness.
As she swaddled, the babby was quietly sucking her finger with her big eyes wide open, and she seemed to know not to disturb her mother's sleep at this time. Her large Lucia-like eyes were twinkling and moving. She was like a little angel.
"Oh..." Being held in Douglas's arms, Theodore craned his neck to look at his sister and exclaimed,
"She's like a little angel..."
What he said was exactly what everyone had in mind.
Arthur smiled. After getting out of the car, he walked around the car to Lucia's side and bent down to carry his princess out of the car. Although his movements were gentle, Lucia's eyes still moved slightly and she opened her eyes in a daze. When she saw Arthur, she asked him,
"Arthur, are we there yet?"
She was really sleepy, or she would have sobered up by now.
"Why don't you go to sleep and we'll talk about it later?" Arthur said gently.
Lucia yawned and tried desperately to open her eyes but could not resist the drowsiness. Finally she gave up and closed her eyes again.
Arthur's arms were so reassuring.
Knowing that Lucia was exhausted, Edwin gestured for Arthur to carry her upstairs to rest. Spencer, who had just gotten out of the car, immediately stopped Arthur from carrying Lucia away. "What do you want..."
But before he could finish his words, all of the Davies glared at him, including Theodore.
Their eyes were so sharp, as if piercing Spencer who couldn't make a sound.
With his family around, Arthur ignored Spencer and quickly carried Lucia into the main house and up the stairs.
After Arthur left with Lucia in his arms, Bailey strolled over to Spencer, put a hand on his shoulder, and said casually,
"Spencer, you're here, too?"
Spencer looked into Bailey's fox-like eyes and cleverly chose not to say anything. He and his cousin had never been on the same page, and he had fought many times without winning. "Now that you're here..." Edwin said at this point, "You'll have to stay."
Edwin wouldn't have let Spencer step foot in the Davies manor if he hadn't been informed that Spencer was following Lucia on Esmae's order!
He didn't want to embarrass Lucia.
"Come on, I'll show you your room," Bailey said with a smirk as he secretly pushed Spencer forward.
"I don't need a break. You're putting the baby..." Bailey interrupted Spencer before he could finish his words.
"No, you've been tired..." His footsteps continued, and Bailey pressed ahead with Spencer, saying in an unmistakable tone, "You need to rest now." Spencer kept turning around, but Bailey led him on. Spencer knew that he was no longer in control of where things were headed.
When Bailey took Spencer away, Edwin smiled again and looked at his granddaughter.
God, what a cute baby...
That was all what Edwin, who was usually so serious, was thinking about right now.
"Dad, you're drooling..." Douglas had always been naughty. Seeing his father staring at the baby in the swaddle, he couldn't help but tease him.
"Douglas! Don't talk about Dad like that," Otis said sternly, as if he were about to scold his brother.
"He dribbles and wipes himself."
"You two brats..." Edwin was amused.
At this time Theodore came and continued, "Grandpa, I'll wipe for you."
"You..." Edwin mouthed and glared for a moment, but the next moment, as they looked at each other, they all burst out laughing.
Finally, there was a reunion.
In the living room, the family gathered around the baby, touching her little hands and her little face. They could not get enough of her. Upstairs, Arthur had put on a soft quilt for Lucia, and at last, without scruple, he kissed her lips gently.
"Lucia, sleep well."
Lucia hummed softly in her sleep, as if she had heard Arthur's words.
After Lucia fell into a deep sleep, Arthur left the room and returned to the living room. Naturally, he saw his parents, brothers, and son surrounding the baby.
"It's time for the baby to have milk." Arthur opened a small bag on the sofa and skillfully took out the milk powder, then turned and went to the kitchen.
Looking at her son's skillful movements, Sophie was distressed and relieved at the same time
Soon, Arthur came back with the formula, took the baby, and gently fed the baby.
Theodore, on his father's lap, looked at his sister, who was drinking the milk with relish, then at his gentle father, and couldn't help but say,Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"Daddy, if you had been there when I was born, would you have been this gentle?"
"Of course," Arthur said softly as he looked up at his son. His eyes were brimming with fatherly love. "You're one of a kind, too."
"Daddy..." Theodore called in a soft voice, and perched on his father's lap.
Arthur rubbed his son's soft hair with his free hand, feeling guilty and happy.
Sophie, who knew her son so well, saw the guilty look in his eyes and immediately said,
"Arthur, do what you can to make up for the past, and do what you can to make up for it."
"I know," Arthur replied with a smile.
The Davies had their bedrooms on the second floor. The guest rooms were on the third and servants' quarters were on the fourth. If Bailey hadn't been so polite, he would have led Spencer up to the fourth floor.
