She is a CEO novel Chapter 25

Not long after this, Eric passed away, and Lucia lost her spiritual pillar.

When she looked for support from Jacob, she found that his attitude had slowly changed. Jacob seemed to be devoted to work like her deceased father, and she, who understood her father, naturally understood Jacob. Fortunately, Poppy accompanied her. But it turned out to be a part of their plan.

Finally, the first wedding anniversary of Lucia and Jacob came.

Poppy suggested Lucia who was simple-minded should give Jacob a surprise and reserved a room in a luxury hotel for them.

Though Lucia and Jacob were a couple, they had never had sex. Lucia was still a virgin.

Jacob explained to her that he just wanted to show respect for her deceased father who made such a will. And Lucia had no doubt of his sincerity.

On that day, Lucia was ready to have sex with her beloved man. She carefully freshened herself up and made every detail in the room perfect. Then she drank the glass of water handed over by Poppy and fell asleep.

Then came the scandal that caused a sensation in Athegate.

The young lady of the Webb family, Lucia, was caught cheating on her husband on their wedding anniversary. After that, the Webbex Group fell into the hands of Jacob and Poppy and Lucia left in disarray.

"Now I recall it. I found I was so stupid..." Lucia said with a bitter smile.

Lucia thought that her parents would be very disappointed if they knew what she had experienced.

Her father had tried his best to prevent her from being hurt by Jacob. It was Lucia who stupidly decided to go through the trial period with Jacob.

"Kindness does not equal to stupidity." After Arthur had a general understanding of the matter, he did not think that Lucia was stupid. She was just too kind-hearted to be treated gently by fate and people with evil intentions.

Hearing this, Lucia looked at Arthur. It was the first time that she had heard such words from others.

Even Auntie Esmae thought Lucia was so stupid to be fooled by Jacob. But Arthur didn't criticize her.

Because of Arthur's appreciation of her, Lucia seemed to be able to face up to all the choices she had made before.

She made wrong decisions, but she never lost her capacity to be kind.

"Arthur, thank you." Lucia gazed into Arthur's eyes and said sincerely with relief.

"Well, what happened later?" Arthur nodded and continued to ask. The following part was what he cared most.

"Later, I contacted my father's old friend, Auntie Esmae. She helped me leave Athegate. When I arrived in the USA, I didn't find myself pregnant until I went to the hospital for checkup," Lucia answered honestly.

"Don't you remember which man entered the hotel room that day?" Arthur asked. He hoped that Lucia could have some memories of that day.

Suddenly, he patted her arm rhythmically. Then Lucia leaned on the man's arms and heard his comfort, "Babe, be good... be good..."

After a while, Lucia finally burst into laughter and looked up at Arthur, "Come on, what kind of comfort is that!" He was coaxing a child, wasn't he?

Arthur lowered his head and took Lucia into his arms again and replied with a straight face, "That's the way my mother comforted me when I was little, and it worked!"

It did work...

Lucia felt touched. From her angle, she could see Arthur's perfectly shaped chin, the tip of his nose and the eyes which were gazing at her. Arthur's eyes looked a little special.

Only then did she realize that Arthur's eyes were not pure black. His irises were brownish, and the outermost edges looked light purple mixed with brown, with black pupils in the middle of his eyes. She felt that...

Thinking of this, Lucia tried to touch the eyelashes of Arthur and mumbled, "Arthur, do you wear colored contact lenses?"

Hearing this, Arthur feigned an angry look. His eyelids were itchy, so he tried to dodge the "flirting" of Lucia and answered coldly, "How could I do that?"

"Then why are the edges of your irises light purple?" Only a mixed-blood has such a kind of eyes. She asked, "Are you a mixed-blood?"

"No, I am born with them," Arthur replied as he ducked, and finally had no choice but to use one hand to hold Lucia's wrists. He raised his hand to press Lucia's head against his neck to prevent her from "observing" him again.
