She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 30

Lucia thought about it for a while, and then finally said, "Well, then, thank you, Sophie."

Lucia gave in.

A triumphant smile lit Sophie's face. With Lucia's approval, she quickly stood up and took her grandson to the dining room to have breakfast, which was cooked for him by Sophie after she got up early in the morning at the villa.

Seeing Sophie and Theodore together, Lucia felt amused and helpless. She had to talk to Arthur.

"I can't let your mother be my nanny," Lucia said to Arthur, who came up to her.

"Well, I'll get another nanny and my mom will be the chef here." Arthur had got a plan. He also felt sorry for his mother if she had to do housework all the time.

Lucia nodded. She had no other choice.

Arthur looked at Lucia for a moment, then gently wiped the skin under her eye and whispered, "Why do you seem to have dark circles?"

Lucia raised her hand and touched her eyes. She replied in an undertone, "I didn't sleep well."

After that, she looked up at Arthur, her eyes narrowed slowly, and said angrily, "You look like you slept pretty well."

"With you and our son by my side, of course, I sleep well," Arthur replied with a grin, his white teeth dazzling her.

Arthur was telling the truth, but Lucia interpreted it in a different way.

Why did she get the feeling that this guy was smug?

"I'll drive you to work later, but you need to go home with me first. I need to change my clothes and pick up a few things," Arthur said when Lucia was silent.

Then he went straight to the kitchen without leaving her any room to say no or bring up other ideas.

He was hungry, too.

Lucia had no choice but to follow him to the kitchen for breakfast.

After breakfast, Sophie, whose identity had been revealed, no longer tried to hide anything from Lucia.

She asked Jan to come downstairs to pick her up and take Theodore to kindergarten with her, and Lucia was not surprised about it. She got into Arthur's car and went with him to his house.

At the villa, Arthur took Lucia into the house and went upstairs to change his clothes. For him, Lucia was no longer a guest to be treated politely. When she came to this villa, she could move about freely, as if it were her own home.

Arthur went upstairs and Lucia walked around the living room by herself. She had to say Arthur had good taste. This house was a perfect match for his disposition.

Looking at the industrial-style decor, she began to imagine that if Theodore and she lived there, the toys would be thrown around, the walls would be graffitied, and the Impressionist paintings would be replaced by 'abstract paintings' of Theodore.

Images flashed through Lucia's mind and she smiled at the thought.

Was Arthur ready to be a father?

Lucia was embarrassed when she realized that she had thought so far ahead.

Anyway, she decided to let nature take its course.

Standing in the living room of Arthur's villa, Lucia suddenly figured it out.
