She Is A CEO

“No, I apologize for Arthur. He is to blame.” Sophie continued, “Lucia, I hope you can understand sometimes he has no other choices.”

Sophie implied something but Lucia could get it for a moment, and she could only smile reluctantly and say, “It’s okay, Sophie. Even if he and I are not meant to be, Teddy is your grandson anyway.”

Theodore had been Sophie’s concern, and when Sophie heard Lucia say that, she felt a lot more relieved, but felt sorry for Lucia at the same time.

“Lucia, no matter what, as long as you need help, just tell me. I will do my best to help.” Sophie knew Lucia may never ask her for help, but she just wanted to make it up to Lucia somehow.

“Thank you, Sophie,” Lucia did not reject Sophie’s kindness.

After Sophie asked something about Theodore and told Lucia to get some rest, she got up and said goodbye. Lucia sent Sophie downstairs and watched the car she got in slowly drive away, wondering what Sophie’s implication meant.

In less than two days, Lucia understood why Sophie said Arthur had no other choices. Looking at the magazine cover, Lucia was stricken by sadness. She wanted to ask, “Did Arthur really have no other choices?”

Lucia rolled up the magazine and threw it in the trash. The magazine lying in the trash slowly unfolded again, and on the cover was the news of Arthur and Juliana’s engagement, and the photo on the cover was of them snuggling and cutting the cake together at their engagement.

The reason for this farce should trace back to half a month ago.

Half a month ago, Juliana had been silently counting the time. A month had passed since she last faked having sex with Arthur at the party, and if she wasn’t pregnant, her period should have arrived.

Of course, Juliana would not walk up to Arthur and tell him she was pregnant without a plan; she patiently and carefully prepared to give Arthur a surprise.
