My Mommy Is A CEO

Sure enough, Lucia hesitated for a moment after hearing this suggestion. She really wanted to refuse, but it would be rude of her to refuse him after he claimed to feel lonely staying alone, so she could only nod. It was not a big deal to take a walk with him now, and it was up to her whether she should see him in the future.

When Spencer got the reply he wanted, he felt a hint of joy. Without feeling discomfited, he walked to Lucia’s side and started to take a stroll on the beach with her.

During this time, it was Spencer who was talking all the time. And he could always find topics to sustain their awkward conversation, while Lucia only occasionally responded to him absently.

With her eyes cast down, Lucia didn’t notice that Spencer was looking at her with desire.

Later, as Spencer had expected, he was rejected when he asked her out. But Spencer wasn’t disappointed. At least he had got a plan.

The new year holiday passed quickly. Some people thought it sped by, while some felt these days felt like a year. However, no matter what people were thinking, time slipped away without being noticed. People who needed to work gradually returned to their positions. The city became prosperous again, and Lucia returned to Athegate with Spencer.

Lucia didn’t intend to go back with Spencer, but it happened that Spencer and she went back on the same day and booked the same flight. Of course, she didn’t know that it was Spencer’s deliberate arrangement. She could only watch the person next to her change seats with Spencer, and he sat next to her.

“I thought that was fate that tied you and Arthur together, but I didn’t expect fate also tried to bind us. What a coincidence!” Sitting next to Lucia, Spencer said jokingly after the plane took off.

Lucia frowned as soon as she heard about Arthur. She nodded politely and then looked out of the window. She made it clear that she didn’t want to talk.

Spencer didn’t care about Lucia’s attitude. He mentioned Arthur on purpose.

They kept silent on the way back to Athegate. After getting off the plane, Lucia suddenly spoke to Spencer, “Mr. Davies, aren’t you doing business abroad? Why do you go back to Athegate?”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

It was not that Lucia had doubts. These questions just popped up in her mind.

But they seemed to push Spencer’s buttons. He smiled awkwardly and quickly replied, “I still have some work to do here. I’ll go back to the USA after I finish it. Where is your home? Let me drive you back.”

Spencer’s car was parked in the parking lot of the airport, and it was reserved for him by Jacob.

Lucia didn’t suspect him. Since he was kind to her, she didn’t have to refuse him on purpose. She told him her address and Spencer drove her home. But downstairs, she thanked him politely, turned around, and left.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Spencer looked at the stairs and said to himself with a smile, “Don’t you have me up?”

It didn’t matter. It would take some time for them to get familiar with each other.

Spencer left Jardín de Nieve and informed Jacob that he had returned to Athegate.

Jacob didn’t have a good holiday. Poppy and he had been estranged. Both of their parents died, and they didn’t have children. Thus, the new year festival made no difference to them. They had a quarrel because Jacob still worked in the company during the new year holiday and didn’t want to travel with Poppy. They had a big quarrel because of this.

Poppy complained that Jacob didn’t want to spare time to stay with her, while Jacob complained that Poppy was a control freak. They couldn’t have a reasonable talk.

Now, when Jacob returned home, he spent most of his time in the study, and sometimes he even spent the night outside.

Finally, Poppy couldn’t help bursting out, “Jacob, what’s wrong with you recently? Why would you rather sleep in the study than go back to the bedroom?” One day, as soon as Jacob came back from the company, he was troubled by Poppy.

“What happened to you?” Jacob asked casually, in no humor to talk to Poppy.

“What happened to me? Why don’t you reflect on yourself? We haven’t made love for a long time! Jacob, are you tired of me?” Poppy said bluntly, heedless of the servants passing by.

“Poppy! Watch what you say!” Poppy’s words humiliated Jacob, so he hinted to the servants to leave by the eye and snapped at Poppy.

Poppy felt wronged when Jacob glared and snapped at her. Jacob had never treated her this way before. He used to dote on her and obey her. Since when did he speak to her in this tone?

Lucia!

This name flashed through Poppy’s mind, and she suddenly realized that Jacob changed after Lucia came back, so she shouted at Jacob, “Jacob! You still love Lucia?”

Jacob’s face changed when Poppy mentioned what was on his mind. He said perfunctorily, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Nonsense? Don’t think I don’t know you met Lucia alone in the central garden at the charity event last time!” In a fit of rage, Poppy blurted out what she and Juliana witnessed that day.

“Poppy, are you spying on me?” This was what Jacob cared more about.

“Do I need to? That’s a public place. If you want to hook up with her, find a place where no one else can go! It’s not like only you two can go to the central garden!”

Tears welled up in Poppy’s eyes. She was not satisfied that Jacob only cared about if she was spying on him.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know the truth?” Jacob said irritably.

“The truth? Yes, I don’t know, because you didn’t mention it to me at all! Jacob, you hide it from me because you are guilty, right?” Poppy said snappishly.

“That day, Lucia came to me and asked me to be responsible for Arthur’s injury. I was scolded by her. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid that you would rush to her impulsively. What have I done wrong, huh?” Jacob told Poppy what had happened, but he concealed his original intention to hide it.

“Did she scold you?” Poppy didn’t expect that was the truth. Recalling the day when Jacob and Lucia were tangling, Poppy realized that Lucia seemed to be the one that got the upper hand.

“Yes, she even brings a challenge to me for Arthur’s sake!” Jacob knew that Poppy was softened, so he replied in an injured tone.
