She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 240

"Did she say anything to you?" Arthur pondered for a moment before raising his eyes and asking Eduard.

"She just wouldn't talk about it before I came to you." Eduard said with frown and was worried.

"Thank you for caring so much about her." Arthur knew it was Esmae who was the cause, and was grateful that Eduard had sought himself out specifically for Lucia.

"Are you still in a position to say that?" Eduard glanced up at Arthur. His eyes were sharp, and then he lowered his head to the tea set. He did not want to accept his kindness. He did not forget what he did to Lucia, but felt aggrieved for Lucia.

"Didn't you say before that you could understand me?" Arthur didn't get annoyed, but asked with a slightly scoffing tone.

"But you're so slow to actually do anything. I'm curious how you found time to spend your vacation with Lucia when Juliana was home with the kids." Eduard had wanted to ask Lucia before, but was afraid of arousing bad feelings for her. So, now was the perfect opportunity to ask Arthur himself.

"She's already taken the baby back home." Arthur lowered his eyes and told him straight.

"Back home?" Eduard looked up with his words. If he could remember it correctly, Juliana should still recover after childbirth, right?

"Well, because I'm having the baby's DNA tested," Arthur confessed frankly.

Eduard's eyes widened and it took a while for him to digest Arthur's words and he asked hastily, "You suspect Juliana's child is not yours?"

Arthur was non-committal.

"Does Lucia know it?" Eduard continued to ask hurriedly.

"I don't know, because I'm not sure. And I don't want Lucia to have hope and end up losing it," said Arthur.

"That makes sense. Don't worry. I won't mention it to her," Eduard sighed. Just now he himself said Arthur's action was too slow but he didn't expect him to really go to think about Juliana's fishy act. In that case, then ... Eduard reached out and dumped the tea in Arthur's cup, and poured him a new cup of tea. This time, it was just the right amount.

"Have some tea."

Arthur found it funny. It seemed that to have a good cup of tea depended on how Eduard saw himself.

He reached out to pick up the cup of tea and took a sip. The aroma of tea overflowed in the mouth but the taste was bitter and strong. Arthur grew up abroad and rarely came into contact with the traditional tea culture in Athegate. He could not accept the strong flavor of this cup of tea for a while. Eduard saw his expression and said immediately, "Don't throw up!"

Arthur won't really vomit. He kept the tea in his mouth for a moment after he swallowed with difficulty. Eduard laughed, "Wait a little longer. The tea will be sweet after bitter."

As Eduard said, after the bitterness, a sweetness spread in the mouth. Arthur raised an eyebrow and quite liked the taste.

Looking at Arthur's gradually relieved expression, Eduard said, "I hope you and Lucia, too, will do the same."
