She is a CEO novel Chapter 224

Lucia's words revealed her sadness. She had envisioned countless scenes of their meeting today. Perhaps it was an awkward meeting. Perhaps both of them would keep silent. But he just appeared at her door, smiled to say good morning, and went to cook breakfast for her. It seemed that they got along like they used to do.

Undoubtedly, Lucia knew it was wrong. Arthur had been engaged to Juliana and had a second son. Now she was just a bystander. Lucia criticized herself for being too selfish, but at the same time, she indulged herself in Arthur's tenderness. As mixed emotions surged up, she could only go back to her bedroom and sob secretly.

Hearing Lucia's words, Arthur looked at her sincerely.

"Lucia, because I love you." Looking at her sad face, Arthur spoke his mind.

'Because I love you.'

Lucia's eyes widened as she looked at Arthur, who smiled gently and continued to wipe away her tears.

"Don't doubt it. That's never changed. Teddy is very smart. Lucia, let's just get along like we used to do during this time, okay? Otherwise, he'll find out something fishy soon."

"This is not right." Lucia choked. She had been regretting her decision. Arthur no longer belonged to her. Even if she once felt his tenderness towards her, and no matter how much she craved his tenderness, she should draw a clean line with him.

"It's not like that," Arthur's voice was incredibly soft and mellow, which made Lucia swoon.

"Lucia, let's do it for ourselves just once, okay?"

Lucia nodded, driven by her longing for him.

Closing her eyes, Lucia leaned into Arthur's arms.

Holding Lucia in his arms, Arthur had a triumphant smile on his lips.

Having reached a consensus, Lucia got herself together when washing up. She was much calmer after she got dressed and walked out of the bedroom.

In the living room, Arthur was waiting for Lucia. When he saw her come out, he put on a light smile and extended his hand toward her. Lucia looked at Arthur and had a strange feeling as if the whole room had been lit up by his smile.

After a moment's hesitation, Lucia placed her hand in Arthur's, smiling faintly and raising her eyebrows slightly.

'Just take it as the reversal of time.'

After she held her hand, they seemed to really go back.

After breakfast, Arthur sorted out Lucia's clothes with her. He had long packed his luggage, so Arthur seemed very dissatisfied that Lucia just started to pack her things.

While helping her to put the clothes into the suitcase, he asked, "Lucia, why are you just starting to pack your bags?"

She thought Arthur would say no, but Arthur just gazed tenderly at her and said, "Yes, I am afraid that she won't allow you and Teddy to leave."

Her heart thumping, Lucia turned her head to hide her emotions from Arthur.

Arthur smiled as he stared at the back of Lucia's head. He tilted his head and he could see her earlobes were red. He let out a chuckle and held Lucia tighter.

Lucia and Arthur left the house at 9:30 a.m. It took an hour to get to the airport and Arthur didn't want to miss the flight.

On the way, Arthur chatted with Lucia and everything about her without any scruples. And Lucia was very honest with him.

Knowing that Lucia had lost weight, Arthur swore to make her eat more to gain some weight.

When they arrived at the airport, they registered their luggage together and everything went smoothly. Arthur's attention was all on Lucia, and Lucia didn't avoid his intimacy. Although they knew their happiness could only last a week, they were a perfect couple in the eyes of others.

By the time they walked on the safe passage to board the plane, they were unaware that some reporters were snapping pictures of them in the corners of the airport.

Lucia and Arthur left Athegate. Arthur's betrayal made the headlines of those gossip magazines the next day.

Arthur focused on Lucia so much that he relaxed his vigilance. He had just gotten a son and was a public figure in Athegate, so naturally some paparazzi followed him. That day, when he boarded the plane, some reporters were tailing after behind him, so they just seized this chance to take intimate photos of Arthur and Lucia and reported the news of Arthur's betrayal.
