My Mommy Is A CEO

Daphne, who had changed into her dress, looked stunning in the bright red color that accentuated her fair skin. Lucia leaned against Arthur’s chest and couldn’t help but remark, “Daphne still looks like a student. Now she’s a bride and ready to become a mother.”

“It’s all thanks to your planning,” Arthur pinched Lucia’s waist and chuckled.

“What do you mean? What planning?” Lucia gave Arthur a sideways glance.

“You could have sent Daphne to a safer place initially, but you chose to leave her with Eduard. Don’t tell me it was unintentional,” Arthur lowered his head and nuzzled Lucia’s ear with his chin. He knew her better than anyone else.

Lucia was caught off guard and had no choice but to admit it. “I regard Eduard as my good friend, and I know he… the reason why he had so many scandals before was because he couldn’t find the right girl until Daphne came along. She is worth changing for; she is worth cherishing, and I believe he will treat her well.”

“In the end, it’s all because you’re too attractive.” Sometimes Arthur really wanted to hide Lucia away because she was too dazzling; some people were originally indifferent but became interested after getting close to her.

“I’m attractive?” Lucia turned around and looked up at Arthur. “You are! If I weren’t the CEO of Webbex Group with an influential family background, everyone would be wary of me; perhaps I would have been forced out by now.”

After speaking these words, Lucia glanced at the crowd around them. Even though she stood next to Arthur, there were still many socialites staring at him admiringly – this man… was truly irresistible.

Arthur chuckled silently; he thought it would be difficult for Lucia to get jealous – apparently not…

He bent down slightly and lightly kissed on top of her forehead while whispering what was in his heart, “That won’t happen. Whoever you are or whatever your status may be, if someone falls for you once, they’ll love you forever.”

Arthur’s loyalty wasn’t just empty promises every time he spoke those words – they held weight behind them which made every time that much more meaningful for Lucia when hearing them again.

As he said those words with his purple eyes looking straight into hers- this lifetime or maybe even beyond- there wouldn’t be room for anyone else besides her in his heart anymore.

There was some unbearable emotion between the palpitations. Lucia buried her face in Arthur’s arms, grabbed his skirt and responded softly,

“Me too…”

It was a happy thing to have a response to the affection he gave. Arthur curled his lips into a smile, and hugged Lucia even tighter.

The scent of cherry blossoms in the air seemed to be a little sweeter.

Just as the two of them were embracing each other sweetly, Eduard’s nasal voice came from the side, “Hey guys, it’s my wedding day. Is it appropriate for you to show affection here?”

Lucia blushed and stepped back from Arthur’s embrace, giving Eduard a fierce glare.

“Why are you glaring at me? You guys came here to relax while being my best man and maid of honor. I’ve already had so much to drink,” Eduard complained in his usual obnoxious tone.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Lucia can’t drink alcohol, but I’ll keep you company,” Arthur said with a nod towards Lucia. He knew that Eduard had already toasted with Daphne once and his own duty wasn’t too heavy, so he took Eduard away to socialize.

As soon as Eduard left, Daphne walked over to Lucia with a sweet smile on her face.

Lucia felt a chill down her spine as she stared at Daphne. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“When will you and Arthur have your wedding?” Daphne asked about something she had been thinking about for some time now. She really wanted to see what Lucia would look like in a wedding dress.

“Daphne, are you trying to rush us into getting married too?” Lucia couldn’t help but laugh bitterly; today was her own wedding day after all.

“No,” Daphne blushed and quickly defended herself before looking off into the distance where Arthur and Eduard were standing together. “It’s just… we’ve seen how hard it has been for both of you along the way. We always feel sorry watching from the sidelines. Eventually everyone developed an obsession wanting to see both of you walk down the aisle together.”

Daphne spoke what Kane and others had been feeling deep inside their hearts all this time.

Lucia smiled gently with watery eyes fixed on one person in particular.

“Don’t worry. It won’t be long now.”

“Really?” Daphne asked excitedly.

“Of course,” replied Lucia confidently knowing that their big day was not far off anymore.

The entire celebration ended around 6:30 pm when only close friends remained after guests left along with media personnel who covered the event earlier in the evening.

Eduard didn’t care much about public appearances anyway; he threw an outdoor banquet on top floor terrace which Jibillion’s employees could attend freely – essentially making it an internal party.

Only when they returned back did he realize just how many people showed up – almost filling up every inch of space available on top floor- leaving him speechless yet amused at same time!

“You should have thought of it earlier, right? Of course, the employees would want to attend their own CEO’s wedding banquet.” Arthur glanced at the slightly chaotic scene and said to Eduard. Many employees brought their families with them, and the children’s screams were particularly noticeable. Although he was already a father, Arthur could only tolerate his own two treasures infinitely. He would still frown at other children’s noisy sounds.

“If you had thought of it earlier, would I have set up such a small venue?” Eduard looked at Arthur with a bitter smile and waited for him to speak.

Arthur gave Eduard a glance and immediately took out his phone to call Kyle. In less than half an hour, the top floor where Eduard’s office was located was quickly decorated. There were plenty of fine wine and food available. Except for security personnel guarding in front of his office door, there was no sign that this place used to be an office.

The employees roughly knew what their CEO meant, so many people wisely left after offering sincere blessings leaving only close relatives and friends on the rooftop for Eduard and his wife Daphne.

“Mr. Davies, everything is done,” Kyle reported back after all the employees went downstairs voluntarily.

Before Arthur could say anything, Eduard patted him on the shoulder carelessly, “Kyle did well!”

Kyle smiled ambiguously at Eduard; he secretly meant that Eduard, your “well done” kept me busy enough!

Without any pretense or formality present anymore since only family members and close friends remained on site, everyone naturally relaxed under gentle evening breeze blowing softly, which making everyone feel comfortable beyond measure.

While chatting with Juliana, suddenly Arthur received a call from Lauren; he turned sideways next to Lucia saying, “Lauren and Eve are here.”

“Shall I go down to greet them?” Lucia couldn’t resist drinking some alcohol despite being advised by Eduard earlier so her little face looked very tempting now reddened by alcohol flushes.
