She is a CEO novel Chapter 124

With her back to Arthur, Lucia breathed hard and restrained herself. She was afraid that she would lose control, turn around and throw herself into his warm arms.

After getting in the car, they kept silent on the way to the famous restaurant in the city, 'Serenity', where they were going to have lunch.

Arriving at the destination, after getting off the car, Lucia suddenly stopped Arthur. She looked into his eyes and said, "I'll assist you later."

Lucia had been thinking about it all the way.

"Really?" With a faint smile on his lips, Arthur stretched out his hand to Lucia and said, "Let me hold your hand."

Looking at the perfect smile on Arthur's lips, Lucia didn't dare to guess what it implied. Then she put her hand on his.

They hadn't held hands for a long time.

The moment they felt each other's skin, they were shocked, but they tried their best to keep their cool.

Holding hands, they looked ahead and didn't dare look at each other's expressions at the moment.

As they walked into the private room, the restaurant was crowded with people who were chatting and laughing constantly, but Lucia and Arthur were enjoying the moments of intimacy and didn't seem to hear anything.

When the two stood together, they were an eye-catching couple. Many people immediately stopped chatting and looked over, with envy in their eyes. Some even doubted if they were invited by the owner to attract clients. Or such a perfect couple wouldn't walk hand in hand for no reason.

Lucia and Arthur had been accustomed to the envious gazes of others.

Lucia followed Arthur to the box door. When she was about to push the door, Lucia looked up at Arthur. Seeing him staring fixedly at her, she quickly lowered her head and reached out to push the door.

As soon as the door was opened, a small figure rushed out in an instant. Before Lucia could see what had happened, Theodore held her legs and called her mommy in a choked voice, which made her heart tremble.

"Babe..." She immediately loosened her grip on Arthur's hand, squatted down, and held Theodore in her arms. Tears welled up in an instant.

"Mommy, why don't you come to find me?" Theodore had been tough and had never cried though he missed his mom very much. But when he saw Lucia, the feeling of grievance immediately gushed out, and he made complaints in a choked voice.

"I'm sorry, babe. I'm so busy with work. I promise I won't do that again." Though she didn't do anything wrong, Lucia was still guilt-ridden and held Theodore tight.

Seeing them holding each other and crying, Arthur, who was standing beside them, was troubled by very mixed emotions.

"Teddy, be good, no more crying. Your mommy is with you now!" Tears welled up in Sophie's eyes when she saw the reunion of Lucia and her son. Knowing Lucia's feelings of grievance and helplessness, Sophie hurried to comfort them.

"Teddy, do not cry. Mommy will never leave you again." Lucia held back her tears, raised her hand to wipe tears from Theodore's face, and comforted him in a soft voice.

"Mommy, you promise." Theodore stared at Lucia with tearful eyes.

"I promise!" Lucia promised seriously and even made a pinky swear with Theodore. Only then did they stop crying.

Holding Theodore in her arms, Lucia stood up. When she was about to take out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, Arthur beside her reached out to wipe her tears away.

Looking at the sad look in his eyes, Lucia was uncertain whether Arthur faked being considerate. After all, there was another man in this room that could not be ignored.

"Nice to meet you, Uncle Edwin. I'm Lucia." Lucia turned to look at the handsome and calm man sitting at the main seat and greeted him politely.

Lucia nodded with a smile. Seeing Edwin pick up the knife and fork, she started to have food.

Theodore, who was sitting next to them, raised his head and said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, see? My mommy is the best mommy in the world. Am I right?"

"Yes, you are right," Edwin replied kindly.

It was hard to get praised by Edwin. Lucia made it but she was not happy.

"Lucia, you have to go to work later, so eat more. You've lost a lot of weight after working overtime for a few days." Seeing Lucia's dim eyes, Arthur immediately put some of her favorite dishes on her plate. He could only take this opportunity to show his concern for her.

"Thank you," Lucia blurted out.

But Edwin frowned at her words.

It was not strange for a man to put some food on his girlfriend's plate. Was it necessary for Lucia to thank Arthur?

Sophie had been observing Edwin's reaction all the time. She was afraid that he might find out something. Seeing him frown, she got anxious and smiled to say, "Lucia, as your boyfriend, Arthur should take care of you. Why bother to thank him?"

Lucia got the hint immediately and looked up at Edwin. Then she quickly put some food on Arthur's plate, saying, "Auntie Sophie, I thanked him because I wanted him to care about me more in the future."

After saying that, Lucia winked at Sophie playfully. Her smart look was really pleasing.

Seeing that, Edwin stopped frowning and chuckled.
