She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 139

"Are you going to take Theodore to Disneyland this Saturday?" Juliana asked.

"Yep," Arthur replied.

"Have a good time." Juliana's voice sounded sincere. Arthur looked up and saw a faint smile on her face.

"Why are you looking at me in surprise?" Juliana smiled and said, "You should perform your obligation as a father. I can understand why you do it."

Arthur thought Juliana would be unhappy, but she was more broad-minded than he thought.

"Thank you for your understanding."

Arthur heaved a sigh of relief when Juliana didn't make a fuss about it.

"Don't say that," Juliana replied with a smile.

When Arthur lowered his eyes to enjoy the meal, the fake smile on her face immediately dissipated, and her eyes were filled with resentment.

'I am right. Lucia is starting to use Theodore to pester Arthur!"

The appointment on Saturday put Arthur and Lucia in different frames of mind. Arthur was expectant while Lucia was restless.

Juliana could do nothing when Arthur was longing for the coming of Saturday. And she had to conceal her dislike for Theodore in front of Arthur.

Soon, Saturday came.

Early in the morning, Arthur finished washing up and left the villa without having breakfast.

Juliana had woken up. After Arthur left, she stood at the window, lost in thought.

When the doorbell rang, Lucia's heart skipped a beat. After hesitating for a while, she opened the door. She knew it was Arthur.

Lucia lowered her eyes to avoid eye contact with Arthur and moved to the side to make way for him.

Arthur, however, stared fixedly at Lucia, with affection in his eyes.

Making sure the wound on her cheekbone had been healed, Arthur finally felt relieved.

He parted his thin lips and said, "The bruise is gone."

Lucia nodded. It was all thanks to Spencer's ointment. But she would not mention it to Arthur.

Seeing him standing still at the door, she turned around to walk back to the living room.

"Lucia, don't let Theodore down." Arthur grabbed Lucia's hand and reminded her in a low voice.

Lucia turned to stare coldly at Arthur, who got dazed instantly.

"Mommy, is daddy here?"

When they were staring at each other, Theodore's joyful voice came along with the sound of running feet. They turned their heads, seeing Theodore running towards them with a beaming face.

Both Lucia and Arthur were infected by Theodore's happiness and smiled faintly.
