She is a CEO novel Chapter 761

Chapter 761 Good Friends Get Together

The atmosphere at the dinner was pleasant. Lucia and the group had not gathered for a long time. Furthermore, the misunderstanding between her and Arthur had been resolved. There was no need for them to choose their words carefully. The conversation was light and pleasant.

Soon it was dark and the lights were on. The group of people who had finished their dinner and were chatting in the living room soon realized that Lucia felt ill at ease. Arthur understood her,

"Worried about the baby?"

"Yes," said Lucia, nodding her head, not concealing her concern. "This is a critical moment. I'm always afraid that if I leave her for too long..."

"No!" Arthur immediately stopped Lucia, clasping her hand. "Our daughter will be safe."

"Lucia, you should relax once in a while," Juliana said to Lucia, who was still frowning:

"Jack and the others are Otis's comrades-in-arms. With them around, Spencer wouldn't be able to hurt the baby even if he has the ability."

It was not that Juliana wasn't worried about the baby, but she had faith in the four of them.

"I know," said Lucia softly, but she was still worried.

"We'll have plenty of time to get together after this is over. Since Lucia is worried about the baby, why don't we call it a day?" Even though Eduard didn't know what to say, he was always the most empathetic when it mattered.

"Lucia, I'll take you home." Arthur took Lucia's hand and stood up, but Lucia shook her head.

"Not now," she wanted to, but no.

Arthur didn't seem to mind it. He kissed Lucia's forehead, ignoring the others. "In that case," he said with a smile, "Let Eduard be your chauffeur."

"Aren't Kane and Julia on her way?" Eduard didn't mind it but he just thought Arthur was doing it on purpose.

"Their son is still at home. Even though the nanny is there, it's time to go back. You and Daphne don't have children yet, so you'll have to take care of her," Arthur said, glancing at Eduard.

"Who says we don't? We'll soon be..." Eduard's high-profile announcement was quickly blocked by Daphne who was blushing and was using the dessert on the coffee table to stop it.

Three cupcakes were shoved into Eduard's mouth, and his mouth bulged. Daphne glared at him and cursed,

"Sweeten you to death..."

"Haha..." everyone was amused by them. Seeing that they were about to go home, Arthur pulled Lucia into the side hall. He still had something to say to her.

"Just so we know, we can't keep our eyes controlled. You two be a little more reserved." Eduard aw Arthur pulling Lucia into the hall and laughed loudly at them.

"Eduard, would you like some more cake?" Lucia asked coldly, and the next second Eduard shut up.

When Eduard had calmed down, Arthur turned to Lucia and said,

"Lucia, how about I get you and baby out of there right now?"

Lucia thought Arthur had it all figured out.

"You've been worried all this time, haven't you?"

By tapping Arthur's heart with her fingers, Lucia could almost hear the answer in his heart.

"I will," said Lucia softly, burying her head in Arthur's neck and sniffing his familiar scent.

In the living room, Eduard and the others said nothing. Although they knew it was bad to peek, their eyes were fixed on Lucia and Arthur, who were hugging each other in the side hall. They always found the atmosphere between the two rather heavy.

"Kane, is everything okay?" Juliana gripped her husband's arm in concern.

"My biggest fear is that they're hiding something because they don't want to worry us." Kane had long guessed that two people with the same kind of heart wouldn't want their friends to worry.

Kane's words struck a chord with the other three, who remained silent with mixed feelings.

A moment later, Arthur and Lucia returned to the dining room after their conversation, and seeing that everyone was looking serious, Lucia seemed to sense something and said, half-jokingly,

"What's the matter? We were just talking, and you're all alone?"

For once, Eduard didn't take Lucia's joke, but instead, Daphne stood up and took Lucia's hand, pleading,

"Lucia, even though our capabilities are limited, if there's anything we can do to help you, you have to tell us, okay?"

At Daphne's words, Lucia smiled, which crept across the crowd like a spring breeze. She said,

"You've been helping me."

Everybody's facial expression moved slightly. At the same time, they were looking at Lucia. They wanted to say something again and again, and finally listened to Lucia who continued saying.
