My Mommy Is A CEO

Miss Woods opened the door for her. Lucia peered into the room and looked Arthur straight in his eyes.

Arthur was surprised to see her. And Lucia couldn’t be more familiar with his handsome face.

Arthur?

Arthur stood up in surprise when he saw Lucia. Why was she here? But he figured it out very soon. He hid the surprised look and smiled lightly. Then he walked straight to Lucia and held her waist and said lightly, “Lucia, over here!”

Lucia looked up and winked at him, wondering what was going on here.

“I came to pick Theodore up earlier and happened to see…” He said it and glanced at the Howard family. Seeing Mr. Howard shuddering, he snorted and continued talking, “I happened to see our son being bullied by their boy.”

Lucia was so smart that she had figured out the reason why Arthur pretended to be Theodore’s father after hearing Arthur’s words.

Then she narrowed her bright eyes and glared at the Howard family, especially the arrogant and unruly little chubby boy, whose face was covered with tear stains, and said coldly, “Oh? Starlight Kindergarten is known for its professional education. Why something like this happened?”

“Poor family education,” Arthur said harshly.

Hearing it, Mr. Howard, pressed his son forward instantly to bow to them, and kept apologizing. Lucia glanced at them coldly. In fact, she cared the most about Theodore now, and said, “We’re all civilized people of good manners. We should discipline our own children. Don’t wait till it’s too late.”

Lucia had made herself pretty clear. Mr. Howard echoed, “Yes. Yes. You’re right, Mrs. Davies. I’ll discipline my naughty son and make him learn his lesson. I promise it won’t happen again!”

Lucia nodded and told Miss Woods to take her to Theodore. She let it go at that because she didn’t want to put Miss Woods in a dilemma.

Mr. Howard watched Arthur and Lucia leaving and rubbed his forehead. Not until then had he realized he was sweating like a pig.

“Honey…” His wife stepped forward with a frustrated face.

“I’ve told you to discipline him. See, we’re screwed today!” Mr. Howard took it out on his wife. But he was curious, “When did Mr. Davies get married?”

Miss Woods was leading the way ahead on the corridor, while Lucia was walking shoulder to shoulder with Arthur. Then she said, “Thanks, Mr. Davies.”

Arthur heard it and smiled, then added, “Stop calling me ‘Mr. Davies’ then.”

Lucia seemed to get it and blushed, “Thanks, Arthur.”

Arthur was pleased now. He nodded and said happily, “You’re welcome.”

They picked up Theodore smoothly. It was getting late and Lucia decided to invite Arthur to have dinner in her place.

Arthur accepted the invitation without hesitation. On the way, he told Theodore to fight back to defend his rights if something like this happened again, and Theodore responded to him sweetly. Lucia listened to their conversation and somehow felt really warm.

Sophie was making dinner when they returned. The house was filled with the smell of delicious food. Theodore couldn’t wait to start drawing in the study the moment he came back, while Lucia was watching TV with Arthur in the living room.

She turned on the TV and it was on Business Channel. They were just having an exclusive interview on JTP Group and the guest happened to be Jacob!

“Yes, the development direction of the company recently…” Jacob’s voice came from the TV and echoed in the living room.

Arthur turned to look at Lucia unconsciously, only to see her calm and peaceful. But her hand froze in the air with the remote control in it and she stared at Jacob on TV.

“How about watching a cartoon?” Arthur said out of the blue.

Lucia turned to look at him slowly, as if she was saying, “you knew it?”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Change the channel,” Arthur ignored her stares and said firmly.

Lucia had got complicated feelings at the moment. She turned her head to change the channel and felt helpless within herself. ‘He has known it, right?”

Well, the scandal had spread over Athegate and it was reasonable that Arthur had heard about it.

Lucia felt bitter. The carton on TV was amusing but the atmosphere in the living room wasn’t so lively.

Obviously, Arthur had noticed that Lucia was uncomfortable with it. He then came closer and said lightly, “People will know who is right and who is wrong someday.”

“Really?” Lucia asked with her eyes sparkling.

“Of course. Every case will be solved and the truth will be revealed someday!” Arthur stared at Lucia and said in earnest.

Sophie made a fancy dinner that night. Lucia invited Sophie to join them for dinner as usual.

Lucia didn’t know anything about the DNA test report. Theodore seemed to know something. Arthur tried to ask Lucia tentatively, while Sophie just took it as a nice and sweet family dinner.

After dinner, Lucia and Arthur played with Theodore for a while. In fact, Arthur just watched them aside. But to Sophie, they looked like a family of three that got on well with one another. How blessed it would be if it was true!

Lucia saw Arthur and Sophie off at about 7 p. m. Then she went back to the room to stay with Theodore.

“Sorry, sweetie. Mommy has been too busy these days.” Theodore was still drawing in the study. Lucia carried a small chair and sat next to him.

“I don’t blame you, mommy. You just started your career here. Of course, you’re busy,” Theodore looked up, smiled brightly at Lucia, and said thoughtfully.

Lucia felt a lump in her throat. Sometimes, the more thoughtful Theodore was, the guiltier she would be.

“Oh, right, mommy,” Theodore found Lucia staring at him, blinked his eyes, and said, “why Uncle Arthur always comes to our place recently?”

To kids, if someone visited them two days in a row, he or she could be considered as a frequent visitor.

“Well, maybe he likes Auntie Sophie’s cooking very much.” Arthur ate a lot tonight. Lucia thought of it and couldn’t help smiling.

“Really?” Theodore drawled slyly.

“What? Don’t you like to see Uncle Arthur in our house? Hey, you know him longer than mommy does.” Lucia rubbed his quick-witted face and asked.

“Sure, I do! Because you’re happy when he’s here,” Theodore grinned and said.

Lucia was stunned and asked, “Am I?”

Theodore raised his smiling face and nodded firmly.

Mommy smiled more often than before!

Soon, Eduard, the CEO of Jibillion Inc came back from his business trip in Paris. He told Lucia to come to his office and report to him on the work as soon as he was back. Lucia could handle it with ease but Nia was extremely nervous.
