Chapter 45 Family Video
Arthur finally released Lucia and looked down at her.
"Isn't time we let Theodore know where he came from?"
Arthur also wanted to be a qualified 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 walked together, hand in hand, into Theodore's room. They were deliberately stepping in softly, and then standing beside the bed. Looking at Theodore's lovely sleeping face on the bed in shape of a race car, Lucia and Arthur felt a bond that was unlike any other. The child in the bed was their child.
Just as the two enjoyed the sweet moment, Arthur's phone rang. And Arthur, who had always been calm and cool, quickly took out his cell phone, muted it, and quickly checked on Theodore. Feeling relieved that he was not awakened, Arthur made a gesture to Lucia to answer the phone and went back to the living room for it.
Lucia waited for Arthur to leave, then went to sleep with 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 software, 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 was 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 still looked very kind.
Arthur was very gorgeous, so one 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, which were the traces of age, were filled with the hormones of a mature man, exuding mature charm.
"Arthur." Following his father's complaint, Otis called Arthur. Otis's look and personality were the most alike to Edwin's among the four brothers. And because he was in the prime of his life, he was pretty. He had crossed the boundary of maturity 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 most flirtatious and the most popular of the four. He was on the more handsome side. There always seemed to be a smile on his face. Because o his eyes, Sophie had previously complained that Bailey was too popular and could pick up women wherever he went. He was also the most easygoing one."Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"Arthur, don't take him seriously. He was just scolded 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 background, right?" Lucia was the woman Arthur loved, so Edwin asked very gently.
Arthur knew his father would ask it. 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.
"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 coincidence 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 taunt Arthur, who was the only one of his brothers who had been claimed experienced since childhood. But that was all. He did not dare to upset Arthur. Bailey still remembered how Arthur got back at him after he annoyed him when they were just kids!
Bailey immediately shut up, and before Edwin spoke, Otis asked.
"Are you sure?"
Otis was as rigorous as Edwin. 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 things were not new to them.
After all, the Davies family was a famous plutocrat 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. It seemed Arthur wasn't blinded by his feelings.
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 was too frivolous. Douglas idolized Arthur, who was different from others since childhood. When they were young, the brothers were playful and they often had conflicts with other children because of their race. At a time like this, Arthur was always the calmest, most rational person to start planning his revenge.
