She Is A CEO

Chapter 1095 Childish Conversation

Arthur glared at Lauren and said coldly, "I wasn't going to agree in the first place. Wasn't it because you brought Eve along? What's the point of opposing her when she begs like that?" "Blame me?" Lauren raised his eyebrows.

"If not you, then who else?" Arthur didn't back down.

Lucia accompanied Eve downstairs and witnessed two grown men bickering and shirking responsibility. She twitched her lips and coughed heavily to remind those two childish men. Lauren and Arthur both turned their gaze towards their beloved woman's face.

Eve had washed her face, but the tear marks on her face could be washed away while the swollen eyes from crying couldn't go down. It made her pale little face look even more pitiful. Lauren's heart immediately softened.

He really had no way to deal with Eve!

Arthur received Lucia's hint through eye contact, so he patted Lauren on the shoulder. Considering Arthur's retaliatory nature, he used a lot of force!

Lauren glared at Arthur but could only silently endure his retaliation before slowly getting up to walk towards Eve. Lucia saw this and left their side, returning to where she was before with Arthur as they watched with an equally amused expression as they looked at Lauren and Eve.

"I'm not angry anymore." When he arrived in front of Eve - since she was still standing on a step - their heights were parallel which completely softened Lauren's tone despite still sounding very domineering. Eve glanced up at Lauren with clear eyes but hesitated before finally lowering it again without saying anything.

Lauren raised an eyebrow then turned around to look at Lucia and Arthur who both rolled their eyes at him, as if looking down on him, which made something inside of him twitch involuntarily. He was thinking that this wasn't right?

But after all, Eve was still that soft-hearted girl who quietly reached out to touch his hemline while apologizing in a low voice, "I'm sorry for asking too much..."

As she spoke, grievances surged into her heart causing tears once again brimming over from within; one long arm pulled this foolish woman into his embrace while there was an indescribable impatience mixed with helplessness in his tone. "Okay okay don't cry anymore! I'm sorry for being too harsh earlier."

He thought apologizing would stop Eve's tears but didn't expect that next second she would cry again in his arms, leaving him flustered as he tried hard comforting her best he could do under these circumstances

Looking at the couple embracing in front of him, Arthur mocked while holding his own woman.

"Lauren still doesn't understand women's hearts."

Upon hearing this, Lucia rolled her eyes and pinched Arthur's waist without hesitation, teasing him, "You talk as if you understand."

"Do I not understand?" Arthur smirked devilishly, leaning over and breathing heavily in Lucia's ear.

The tips of Lucia's ear instantly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. If it wasn't for her reluctance, she really wanted to punch him!

Embracing was indeed the best way to reconcile. After feeling wronged, Eve glanced at Lauren with tears in her eyes, but seeing his concern for her, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

That day, Lucia also helped Lauren to comfort Eve well, and she was relieved when they finally stopped quarreling. It was not worth getting angry for Nia.

Casper had been feeling extremely frustrated these days and had become impatient with Libby's concern. If it weren't for his fear of being in the Wood Residence, he would have walked away from everything. Miles knew something had happened in Athegate, but he chose to act like he didn't know. He subtly isolated his wife and himself from the situation, spending the holiday visiting relatives and friends without bringing Casper along.

Two days after the incident, Casper was thinking about how to deal with Leon's group when his phone suddenly rang. Looking at the caller ID, he almost thought he was seeing things.

It was Lucia! Since the opposition between him and Stable Growth began, Lucia had started to avoid him. There were no chances of meeting privately, and even in public places, he rarely encountered Lucia. When he saw that Lucia was calling him, he was a little excited but not completely irrational.

He was not foolish enough to think that Lucia would actively seek him out without any reason.

Casper pressed his phone to silent mode and picked up the landline to call his subordinates who were not involved in the incident. This was the first time he took the initiative to learn about what had happened since he got into trouble. As he listened to their account, a smile began to form at the corners of his mouth. He couldn't believe that this matter, which had been bothering him for days, still held some unexpected surprises!

Nia's charge of intentional injury cannot be refuted, and Leon was still lying unconscious in the hospital at this time. This was really a great opportunity to get rid of her! And he didn't have to worry about it himself. As long as she was held accountable, Nia will be sentenced! At worst, those people like Leon will be held accountable for picking quarrels and provoking trouble.

Casper was shrewd and almost immediately guessed the purpose of Lucia's call. Even so, his eyes were full of calculation and a smug smile played at the corners of his mouth. He wouldn't be taken advantage of, even if he agreed to release Nia.

After days of feeling downcast, Casper picked up his phone and whistled a tune. However, instead of calling Lucia back, he chose to block her number.

Didn't she need to show some sincerity if she wanted his help? Casper thought with a chuckle.

Meanwhile in Athegate, Lucia tried calling Casper again but this time couldn't get through. She sneered and told Arthur beside her.

"He's blocked my number."

"Playing hard to get," Arthur said coldly.

"Now he's probably thinking about what conditions he can demand from me," Lucia placed her phone on the table and snuggled into Arthur's arms as she spoke,

"If he wants to play games with me, then I'll play along."

"You're smart," Arthur smiled warmly at her before giving a kiss on her forehead.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"Edwin and Sophie are coming back this afternoon so let's prepare ourselves. We shouldn't waste our time worrying about people who aren't worth it." Lucia smiled sweetly.

"Teddy and Kylee have already been registered under our family name. When do you plan on joining us?" Arthur asked while still holding onto Lucia's hand.

Lucia blushed slightly before burying herself deeper into Arthur's embrace as she replied softly,

"Just wait a little longer... you know it won't be too long."

"I know," holding onto her tightly, Arthur said, "I'll wait for you."
