She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 257

Lucia closed her eyes after saying those. She didn't want to see Arthur's disappointed expression, but Arthur didn't say a word or move for a long time. She couldn't help but slowly opened her eyes again.

Lucia didn't see any frustration on Arthur's face. His expression was firm and the way he looked at her was affectionate.

Leaning over slightly, Arthur kissed Lucia's lips lightly, looked into her eyes and asked seriously,

"Lucia, do you love me?"

The tips of Lucia's ears were hot, and she looked away with a slightly annoyed response, "What's the use of talking about this now?"

"It's useful," Arthur insisted, pinched Lucia's chin gently and turned her to face him, "Do you love me?"

Lucia's eyes were watery, and she looked at Arthur steadily. Too many emotions disturbed her heart, but she had an answer to Arthur's question, and the answer had never changed.

"I love you," Lucia said softly.

Arthur's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help lowering his head to kiss Lucia's lips, letting the intensive love be passed to her through the kiss.

As soon as the kiss was over, Arthur said softly, "I'm not afraid of Esmae's opposition, and I've never been afraid of any other person or thing. What I'm most afraid of is that you don't believe me, don't love me. As long as I have your trust and love, we can be together and nothing can stop me."

Arthur's tone was soft, but his words were solid.

He once gave up Lucia for friendship, and let her down for guilt, but he won't do it anymore. Nothing and nobody can't shake his feelings.

After Juliana's incident, Arthur had already experienced the pain. He couldn't live without Lucia, and his feelings for her became stronger and more determined. It could be said that he had made up his mind to be only with her in his life.

Arthur's eyes moved Lucia. Although there were still some worries in her heart, it was undeniable that she was affected by Arthur. And Lucia also had a kind of courage that seemed to be able to conquer everything.

"After a while, when the Poppy's stuff is settled, let's go and explain it to her together," said Lucia.

"Okay." Taking Lucia into his arms, Arthur replied with a smile.

Arthur stayed at Lucia's house tonight, while Kane stayed at Fragranerde Hall. For the first time, he stayed by the baby's side as a father. Kane was reluctant to leave him and Juliana.

When no one was around, Kane dared to say something to Juliana.

"Julia, about Poppy, I can't ignore it."

"I know," Juliana said calmly, moving her gaze from the baby to Kane, "for Lucia's sake, you have to do something."

"Looks like you have guessed my plan," Kane said with a smile.

"Poppy is desperate now. The person she trusts the most is you," Juliana said so, hiding her jealousy,

"We owe Lucia too much. Poppy is the key to taking Jacob down, and she has to be held off."

"I will try my best to convince Poppy to plead guilty. As long as she is willing to do so, Jacob will definitely be submissive, and JTP will be able to be back to Webbex Group and back to Lucia."

"This is easier said than done. You know Poppy better than anyone. She won't be reconciled." Juliana frowned.

Kane stroked the baby's cheek lightly and said, "She is not reconciled, but she is more afraid of death."

"You mean?" Juliana asked, staring at Kane.

Kane raised her head and whispered a few words in Juliana's ear. Juliana frowned even more after hearing this. She looked at Kane and asked,

"Are you sure you want to do this? Are you... willing?"

Kane knew that Juliana was jealous, put his forehead against Juliana's forehead, made eye contact, and said seriously, "Julia, you made me distinguish the difference between gratitude and love. The person I love is you and I must be willing to do so. What's more, this is the best ending she can get."

Juliana felt the love in Kane's eyes, relaxed slowly, and nodded lightly with a smile.

The next day, Juliana called Arthur to bring Lucia back to Fragranerde Hall and told them of Kane's plan.

"I don't think Poppy will be persuaded," Lucia said this, shaking her head. She knew Poppy too well.

Lucia agreed with Juliana who can understand what Lucia was thinking, but still persuaded, "Lucia, whether Kane can succeed or not, we have to do it. We feel so sorry for you. At least we have the opportunity to do it for you."

"Yes, whether it is successful or not, I want to make up for it." Kane echoed.

Lucia saw the sincerity in Juliana and Kane's eyes, couldn't help smiling, and said, "You don't have to do anything for me. The forgiveness I said doesn't need to be exchanged for any compensation, not to mention that with Poppy, Kane himself is in danger. Now that you have a baby, safety is more important."

"Lucia..." Juliana felt her eyes sore. It was the first time she felt the kindness from Lucia so directly. It was obvious that Kane's plan was beneficial to her, but she still gave priority to his safety. Juliana didn't know what to say.

Arthur looked at Juliana with a smile, held Lucia's shoulders and asked a question he didn't answer at first, "Julia, how is it? How is Lucia?"

"Excellent!" Juliana nodded vigorously and answered affirmatively. She was grateful for the opportunity to answer this question again.

Lucia heard the compliments and nudged Arthur's stomach shyly. Arthur smiled and said,

"Your kindness doesn't need to be hidden."

who hid this?

Lucia rolled her eyes at Arthur.

Kane had always had a slight smile on his face. This kind of atmosphere was something he rarely had access to. For so many years, he had worked hard for Poppy, thought about conspiracies and tricks, and made "friends" related to interests. And he was eager for harmony and peaceful affection.

"Don't worry about my safety. We want you to be here today because I want Mr. Arthur to do me a favor," said Kane.

"Tell me what it is." Arthur was succinct, so Kane told Arthur of his request, and Arthur promised him bluntly.

"Kane, if you insist on going there, please be safe. It's not easy to mend. Cherish Julia and the baby." Seeing that her rejection was useless, Lucia turned to Kane and said so.

"Of course," Kane nodded in response, "I'll be safe for Julia and the baby."

The matter was settled. Lucia asked Juliana to take her to see the baby. As a mother, Theodore was more than six years old. She missed the newborn baby. After Juliana took Lucia upstairs, Arthur just told Kane what he couldn't have said just now.
