She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 142

This time, Lucia sobered up a bit. Recalling last night, she glanced at Arthur and quickly lowered her head. Her face blushed instantly.

Her shyness cheered Arthur up. If Theodore hadn't come to them, Arthur would let her know how good he was in bed.

After getting out of bed, Lucia began to prepare breakfast. The aroma of food occasionally wafted into the living room. Theodore packed up his schoolbag and chatted with Arthur. Such a warm morning made Arthur happy.

That was the way of life he yearned for. With his lover and his son around him, he asked no more.

Therefore, Arthur was more determined to find out the truth and get everything back on track.

After breakfast, Arthur sent Theodore to kindergarten and Lucia to the company. When Lucia entered Jibillion Inc, he left reluctantly.

When he got in the car, he thought of Juliana, wondering if she would haggle with him over the fact that he stayed out all night.

Arthur got a bit surprised when he returned to the villa. Juliana seemed to have a lot on her mind and didn't even mention his staying out.

Juliana was having breakfast alone. When Arthur came in, she was staring blankly at a bowl of steaming porridge with a spoon in her hand.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Julia, what are you doing?"

Juliana's body trembled. She turned her head and found that Arthur had come back. She quickly stood up and said, "Arthur, you're back."

"Well, are you all right?" Arthur asked.

"Yep..." Juliana answered absently, "Did you have a good time yesterday?"

"Yep, Theodore was very happy." The memories of yesterday brought a smile to Arthur's face. But he stopped smiling seeing Juliana's worried look. Then he said, "You don't look well. How about you take a day off at home?"

That was exactly what Juliana wished to hear, so she replied at once, "OK. I didn't have a good sleep last night, so I'll rest at home."

"Then I'll go to the company after I change my clothes. Take care of yourself." After saying that, Arthur went upstairs.

When he changed his clothes and went downstairs, he found that Juliana was in a daze again. Arthur wanted to ask why, but he knew that Juliana got something that she kept to herself, so he just told her to take care of herself and then went out.

After Arthur left, Juliana didn't continue to eat the porridge. Instead, she went upstairs, changed her clothes, and went out.

Juliana walked around downtown after she got out of the door. After hesitating for a long time, she walked into a pharmacy. When she came out, she was holding a small bag in her hand. Without any hesitation, she took a taxi back to the villa.

In the bathroom, Juliana sat on the toilet lid, gripping the pregnancy test she bought in the pharmacy. After tossing and turning all night, she finally made up her mind to take a pregnancy test today.

But when she thought that she had to verify it by herself, what happened that night flooded into his mind. She gritted her teeth with a lot of hate and found it hard to breathe.

"No, I won't allow it!" After a long time, Juliana finally made up her mind to unwrap the stick test. If she was really pregnant, she would never allow that bastard to stay in her belly for one more second!

At half past two in the afternoon, when Kane was busy with a big case in the company, he received a call from Juliana. At the sight of the caller ID on the screen, the document in his hand dropped. The secretary beside him looked at him puzzledly and even the client got startled.

"Excuse me, I have an important call." Kane forced a smile and walked out of the office. The secretary and the client looked at each other speechlessly.

The reason that Kane was so nervous was that Juliana was a thorn in his side, making him remorseful, guilty, and anguished. He had thought that Juliana would not contact him again, but now she suddenly called him.

Walking to the corridor, Kane looked around and answered the phone after confirming that there was no one else.

"Julia, what is it?" Kane's voice sounded cautious.

Juliana was silent for a long time. When Kane thought she mistakenly dialed his number, she said slowly, "I have some trouble. I don't know whom to tell. Is it convenient for you to meet me now?"

"Yep! Where are you? I'll be right there!" The client Kane met today was very important but he didn't give a damn about it after knowing Juliana had a tricky problem.

"I'll wait for you at Flower Park near Fragranerde Hall. Please be quick." Juliana hung up the phone as soon as she finished her words.

Kane's heart thumped uncontrollably. Somehow, he had a hunch that something big was going to happen.

After returning to his office, Kane solemnly apologized to the client. Without a moment's pause, he drove to Flower Park. Guilt made him treat Juliana with utmost care. Even if he was late for a while, he felt as if he owed her a lot.

They hurtled toward Flower Park. Then Kane saw Juliana in a pavilion inside.

Juliana sat alone on the stone bench of the pavilion and humped like a dispirited old lady.

Seeing her like this, Kane lost the courage to walk over, but he had to.

"Julia, what happened to you?" Walking up to Juliana, Kane sat down and looked at her.

When Juliana raised her head, Kane found that her face was stained with tears and her eyes were red and swollen.

"Julia?" Kane widened her eyes and didn't know what to do.

"Kane... What should I do? What should I do?" Juliana blurted out in a choked voice, threw herself into Kane's arms, and couldn't help crying.

Kane hugged Juliana. Perturbed by her emotional breakdown, he could only comfort her incoherently, "Julia, do not cry. Tell me what happened..."

Juliana got her ears laid back and kept crying in pain.

Kane was the last person she wanted to ask for help, but he was her only choice.

Seeing Juliana crying sadly, Kane could only pat her shoulder to soothe her.

At this time, Kane noticed that Juliana was gripping a pink and white thing. He was attracted by it immediately.

What was that?

"Julia, what's in your hand?" Kane reached out to hold her wrist, staring at it and asking.
