My Mommy Is A CEO

After leaving Balenciaga, Poppy walked in front with a long face, while Kane, lost in thought, followed her.

When Poppy turned around and walked out of the commercial building, she found that he lagged far behind.

Few people knew Kane better than Poppy. After taking one look at Kane’s vacant look, Poppy was sure that he must have hidden something from her.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Poppy stopped to wait for him for the first time. With a cold smile on her lips, she watched Kane walking toward her. When he was inches away from her, she said abruptly, “Stop, or you will bump into me!”

Kane raised her head and found herself standing in front of Poppy. He was immersed in his thoughts just now.

He managed an easy smile and said, “Why don’t you go on?”

Kane’s smile convinced Poppy that he was hiding something from her, so she folded her arms over her chest and looked at him coldly, “Kane, are you hiding something from me?”

“What can I hide from you?” Kane’s heart jolted. He hadn’t decided whether to be honest with her, so he gave Poppy the runaround. But he didn’t realize the guilty look on his face spoke for itself.

“Kane, we have known each other for many years. I can tell what you are thinking from your look. You tell me honestly, or I pressure you to say it. Choose one,” Poppy said overbearingly.

Kane finally looked straight into Poppy’s scrutinizing eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, “Why are you so angry today? Did Jacob piss you off again?”

Aware that Kane was changing the topic, Poppy pulled a long face, glared at him, and turned to leave in a sulk.

Every time Kane didn’t listen to her, Poppy would use this trick and it worked every time. Kane would catch up with her and apologize after she just took a few steps. Yet she still didn’t hear Kane’s voice from behind after she walked some distance.

Kane must have hidden something important from her!

From Kane’s behavior, Poppy guessed the importance of the matter. She deliberately slowed down, with the faith that Kane would catch up.

As expected, when they were nearly one hundred meters away from each other, Kane gave way to obedience to Poppy and caught up.

“Poppy, don’t be angry. I didn’t mean to hide it from you.” He caught up with Poppy and grabbed her hand. Before she pressed him, he leaked his secret.

A complacent smile flashed across Poppy’s face. When she turned around, she had put on an injured face and said sadly, “Kane, don’t you trust me now?”

Poppy’s pitiful look could always soften Kane. Though Kane knew she faked a pitiful look to arouse his sympathy, he couldn’t bear to see her like that.

He relented and said gently, “Poppy, I’m sorry. It’s about someone else’s privacy, so I can’t leak it willfully.”

“You can’t even tell me?” Blinking her eyes, Poppy knew how charming she looked now in Kane’s eyes.

As expected, Kane stared fixedly at her and finally let out a sigh to indicate that he gave in.

“It’s not convenient to talk here. Come with me.” Kane took Poppy’s hand and walked toward a corner of a building where no one was around.

Poppy could not help but feel elated as she was dragged by Kane.

Making sure that no one was around, Kane told Poppy that Juliana got pregnant and he just returned from Luawell.

He thought Poppy would be shocked, incredulous, and even a bit jealous. But after pausing for a moment, she burst into laughter as if she had heard a piece of great news.

She patted Kane on the shoulder and said, laughing, “Kane, what a blessing! You are gonna be rich!”

Poppy’s attitude and words surprised Kane. Behind his spectacles were his eyes full of confusion. He asked blankly, “What do you mean by that?”

Poppy finally stopped laughing. She even wiped the tears of joy from the corners of her eyes.

Then she suddenly looked up at Kane and said, “Kane, God helps us! Ask Juliana out. I have something to talk to her about.”

After she finished speaking, her eyes turned fierce, which made Kane shudder.

Arthur found that something was wrong with Juliana since she came back from Luawell.

She used to be excited and spirited when she worked in the company. But now her mind often drifted and sometimes she made no response after he called her a few times.

Arthur had asked Juliana about the reason, but Juliana only told him that she felt tired, asked Arthur for a week off, and stayed in her room blankly.

Every second was like torture to Juliana. Though she knew that she was pregnant with a rapist’s baby, she had to keep it. When she finally drifted into light sleep, she dreamt that the baby in her belly called her “mommy” with a creepy smile.

She was really down at present, but something worse happened.

Arthur and Lucia were making the headline of the local entertainment news. A few days ago, they went to Disneyland and were photographed. The public had been suspecting that Arthur and Lucia had broken up, but the news was no different from a loud slap on their faces.

On the cover of the magazine, Lucia and Arthur were holding hands under the Ferris wheel, smiling happily at each other. Theodore was not included because of the camera angle. But Juliana could imagine how happy the family of three was. On the contrary, she was rotting in hell.

This piece of news made Juliana’s hatred toward Lucia hit the limit and she even had a grudge against Arthur. He knew that she hated Lucia and told her that he would keep a distance from Lucia, but what did he do behind her back?

The magazine was torn into pieces by Juliana.

Her hatred for Lucia, her grudge against Arthur, and her fear of the baby made her look all haggard.

When Juliana didn’t want to see anyone, an unexpected visitor came to the villa.

Peter never thought that Spencer would drop by to visit Juliana when Arthur was not here.
