She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 335

When Lucia heard these words, she slowly lowered her face, and just grabbed the clothes on Arthur's chest tightly with both hands. All the unwillingness became tears, which continued to flow out.

At the end of the day, Arthur was afraid of Lucia's collapse, so he took her away before collecting the ashes. Kane did the rest alone. He was a man after all, and he was more controllable emotionally.

Kane returned to Fragranerde Hall in the afternoon. Juliana greeted him worriedly as soon as he entered the door. She felt guilty for not being able to be by Kane's side because of her child and certain taboos. She took Kane's hand and asked,

"Kane, is everything going well?"

"Yes," Kane nodded, barely showed a smile for Juliana, and said, "I've arranged Poppy's ashes. I'll take her back to my hometown for burial tomorrow."

Kane's voice was raised deliberately because he saw Arthur sitting on the sofa with Lucia as soon as he entered.

Arthur raised his hand and waved that he knew it, but Lucia didn't respond. Kane was a little puzzled. Juliana told him softly at this time, "Lucia was crying when she came back. Just fell asleep from exhaustion."

It turned out that was the case. Kane held her breath subconsciously for a moment, scolding himself for speaking too loudly just now.

Juliana led Kane to the sofa and sat down. Only then did Kane see Lucia's appearance. She was leaning against Arthur's arms. She was really asleep, but her eyebrows were still tightly knit together, and there were still tears in the corners of her eyes. It was a very uneasy look.

Arthur wrapped his arms around Lucia and propped her head up on his palms thoughtfully, doing everything for her.

Kane watched them snuggle together. They didn't communicate at all, but he could just feel that they were together, that they were one.

Maybe that was how love to the extreme felt.

He didn't know when he and Julia could have such a tacit understanding. Thinking like this, Kane couldn't help but turn to look at Juliana. Juliana looked back at Kane for unknown reasons. Kane smiled and held her hand.

At this moment, Lucia woke up. She snorted softly and opened her eyes. When she saw Kane, she asked,

"Kane, are Poppy's ashes arranged?"

"Yes. Now it's placed in the funeral home. I'll take her back to her hometown tomorrow." Kane replied.

"That's good..." Lucia felt relieved, then turned to look at Arthur. Seeing that his palms were still supporting his face, Lucia softened, rubbed Arthur's palms with her cheek, and said softly,

"Arthur, thank you for staying with me."

"Of course I'll stay with you." The softness in his palms softened Arthur's heart, and he responded with a smile.

"Lucia, I want to take Poppy back to his hometown with Kane tomorrow. Although there is a babysitter, I am a little worried. Arthur has no experience. Can you help me take care of the baby?" Juliana suddenly said to Lucia. As she just finished her words, it wasn't just Lucia and Arthur who looked surprised, but Kane as well.

Kane raised his eyebrows and asked Juliana with her eyes, "do you want to go home with me?"
