She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 140

Lucia's eyes flashed. She didn't say anything and let Arthur hold her.

When she looked down, a triumphant smile slowly lit Arthur's face.

"Daddy, get me high! I wanna look ahead!" Theodore was short and could only see the legs of different people, so he pulled the hem of Arthur's clothes and shouted.

"Okay!" Arthur bent over, picked up Theodore, and let Theodore ride on his neck.

Two meters above the ground, Theodore screamed excitedly.

After making sure that Theodore was holding on, Arthur put his arm around Lucia's shoulder and made her lean against him.

Lucia was not happy about his behavior.

She pinched Arthur's waist and glared at him to show her dissatisfaction.

Arthur looked down at Lucia's face. Her adorable look was beguiling.

He bent slightly and said something that surprised Lucia, "It's useless to resist."

Lucia was so angry that she bit her lip.

When she was about to retort, she was pushed forward. A young couple squeezed over while laughing. If Arthur hadn't held her, she might have been knocked down.

When she regained her footing, she took a deep breath and got closer to Arthur. When she realized what she had done, she looked up and saw Arthur's complacent look.

What was wrong with him?

Lucia was annoyed, but she was somehow happy.

Finally, they got to the front of the line. After buying the tickets, they entered Disneyland smoothly. Theodore led Arthur to the gift shop and selected two demon hairbands for himself and his mommy.

Lucia refused to wear it because she thought it was childish. But Theodore insisted. Arthur took the demon hairband and helped her put it on.

The band was black and it was hidden in Lucia's black wavy hair. Only a pair of red devil horns were visible. It looked like it grew out of Lucia's head.

"Mommy is so cute!" Theodore thought no one could be more adorable than him, but at this moment he thought his mommy was lovelier than him.

Lucia smiled sheepishly, touched the two devil horns on her head, and asked shyly, "Really?"

Theodore and Arthur exchanged looks and said at the same time, "Super cute!"

Lucia was speechless.

Disneyland was a place free of worries. Even the adults who had a lot of misgivings could get peace of mind temporarily.

Seeing Arthur having a lot of fun with Theodore, Lucia decided not to restrain herself today.

Children were more energetic than adults. After noon, Lucia was already a bit tired. Theodore was still running around in high spirits.

Luckily, chip and dale, Theodore's favorite cartoon characters, were in the parade. Only then did Theodore stop to watch it. And Lucia seized this chance to take a rest.

"Are you tired?" Looking at the sweat on Lucia's forehead, Arthur asked.

"Kind of. I haven't walked so much for a long time." Lucia took out the water bottle and took a drink. When she was about to close the lid, Arthur took it and took a drink. Lucia stared at him, dumbfounded.

"What's wrong?" Arthur asked deliberately.

"You know we have broken up." Since Theodore was not around them, Lucia had nothing to worry about.

"I didn't agree to the breakup," Arthur said with a relaxed smile, looking at the Ferris wheel.

Upon hearing this, Lucia felt her cheat stuffy. What did he mean?

"Though we have a problem to be solved," the spinning Ferris wheel seemed to have some magic power, making Arthur confess his true feelings, "my affection for you isn't affected by it. Lucia, we've quarreled many times, but I can't stop missing you."

Arthur then tilted his head and looked into Lucia's eyes. The undisguised affection in his eyes seemed stronger than before.

Lucia felt lost in his affectionate gaze, unable to say a word.

"Lucia, you still love me, don't you?" Seeing Lucia's expression, Arthur couldn't help smiling. He had deduced the answer from the way she looked at him.

Lucia took a while to recover her wits. She looked away to avoid being captivated by him. Then she said softly, "A love relationship is based on mutual trust. You don't trust me. There is no way for us to get back together."

"I hope you can understand my inner struggle. As you said, the injured party is not always justified. But Julia is my childhood friend. After she got hurt, I'm obliged to take care of her."

"That's the reason you ignored the fact?" Lucia smiled bitterly.

"I didn't. Only the surveillance video of that day was gone. I am suspicious about it, for sure."

Lucia's eyes twinkled. It turned out that Arthur was not covering up for Juliana blindly.

He continued, "I know Eduard likes you. I also know he won't twist the facts. But what he said cannot reveal the truth. Lucia, I wish to figure out what has happened more than anyone else. If Julia colluded with Poppy, I would not let go of her. But now I can't find the reason for her to do that. I have no evidence to prove she's lying."

Lucia thought about what Eduard once said to her. Such a thing would also pose a dilemma for Eduard.

Now she realized she was too subjective. She wanted him to trust her unconditionally, but she never put herself in his shoes.

"Arthur, I didn't lie." Lucia lowered her eyes and tried to prove her innocence.

"The truth will come out one day. Lucia, please give me some more time. Do not sever ties with me, okay?" Arthur had long wanted to say this to Lucia. Theodore ahead of them cheered for chip and dale at this moment. Then he added, "For Theodore."
