She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 126

Awkwardness instantly prevailed. Lucia clenched her fists and said softly, "We've come out. You don't have to pretend."

Words got caught in Arthur's throat. His Adam's Apple moved, but he didn't make any sound.

"Send me back." Forcing herself to ignore Arthur's disappointed look, Lucia walked forward.

Arthur tilted his head, looking at her receding figure, and chasing after her after a long while.

In the evening, Arthur sent Theodore back as promised. Lucia allowed herself to get off work on time, just to wait for her son.

"Mommy!" As soon as the door was opened, Theodore rushed forward. He buried his small face in his mother's neck and smelled the scent of his mother carefully.

"Babe." She let out a satisfied sigh.

The moment Theodore entered the room, Lucia didn't feel it empty anymore. Her heart seemed to be filled with something.

Arthur stood at the door and saw the mother and son holding each other. He didn't dare to take a step forward, but he didn't want to take a step back.

"Dad, come on in." When Theodore was carried into the room by his mother, he turned around and saw Arthur standing at the door, so he kindly reminded Arthur.

Arthur looked at Lucia subconsciously. Seeing that she didn't turn around, he hesitated for a while and closed the door behind him.

Sitting on the sofa, Theodore excitedly told Lucia what he had seen and heard with his grandmother these days, especially during the ceremony of visiting ancestral graves.

He even asked Arthur to verify what he had said.

Arthur echoed with Theodore while he was describing the shocking scene.

The clock ticked away and when the hour hand pointed at ten, it was time for Theodore to go to bed.

As a smart boy, he asked Lucia before going to bed, "Will dad stay tonight?"

Lucia froze, at a loss for how to answer.

"Of course, I will stay. I would like to have breakfast with you tomorrow morning." Standing behind Lucia, Arthur smiled gently and promised his son.

"Really?" Evidently, Theodore was very happy. He curled up in the quilt and rolled excitedly.

"Sure." After Arthur made a promise, Theodore was willing to sleep.

Lucia didn't stand up until the child closed his eyes and fell asleep.

But when she turned around, she saw Arthur.

She had been ignoring him on purpose, but she had to face him.

"Go out. Don't disturb the child," Lucia said indifferently. Then she walked past Arthur to the door. Arthur tucked Theodore in and followed her out.

When Arthur went out, he didn't see Lucia. At first, he stayed in the guest room next to Theodore's room. Later, he began a romantic relationship with Lucia and slept in the master bedroom. But now, based on the current situation, where should he sleep... on the sofa in the living room?

Soon, Lucia's actions spoke for herself. She took out a quilt from the guest room and put it on the sofa in the living room. Then she turned to look at Arthur and said, "I'm sorry that you have to sleep here for the whole night."

After saying that, Lucia walked past Arthur and wanted to go back to her room, but her arm was grabbed by him when she passed him.
