She is a CEO by George Chapman

Kane looked into Poppy's pleading eyes and sighed. "Poppy, you know that's impossible."

Poppy was stunned. She had begged him in such a humble manner, but he was still indifferent?

"Is it because of Juliana?" Poppy was stuck in this question.

"I can't leave her and the baby alone," Kane said firmly. He believed that Poppy reaped what she sowed and that he couldn't leave Juliana and their son alone because of Poppy.

Poppy fell silent, biting her lip with a look of resentfulness. Kane saw her expression and said frankly, "I am not afraid that you tell Julia the truth; in fact, I have thought about confessing to her. It's just that I do not know how to say it yet."

"I won't say anything to her!" Poppy said grumpily, "Do you think I will be that cruel to you?"

Kane didn't buy a word of it. He knew Poppy said that to fix their friendship, and he had long seen through Poppy, so he would never be used by her again.

"Kane, please do not confess to Juliana," Poppy said after thinking about it. "I have to continue to hide from Jacob in the future and I need some backing. The Knight Group is a well-known company in the country. If Juliana is willing to back me up, maybe..."

"You still want to use her even now?" Poppy's words disgusted Kane and he rebuked Poppy loudly.

"I just want her to help me ..." Poppy said innocently, not understanding why Kane was furious. Selfish as she was, she could not judge what she did was wrong.

Kane was so angry with Poppy's innocent look that he couldn't say anything. Poppy saw this and quickly comforted him.

"Kane, don't be angry. Didn't we have a deal before? Brought up by the Davies family, your child will become the best of the best in the future, and if you tell Julia, then our effort is in vain."

"I'd rather have him begging with me than being named after Davies!" Kane said firmly. That was the consequence which he was ready to bear. He feared that Juliana would not forgive him, but at the same time, he looked forward to meeting his child as a father.

He hoped that the child could call him daddy when the child grew up a little bit.

Poppy did not expect Kane to be so determined and knew that he could not be persuaded, so she started to talk about her own difficulties.

"Well then, you confess to her. I'll find a place to hide. It's not a big deal. Everything will be over if Jacob does catch me."

"Why are you saying that?" Knowing that Poppy was deliberately saying that to arouse his sympathy, Kane sighed. "Don't worry. I won't leave you alone, but I need to think about how to solve this matter." Kane had his own difficulties. He had vowed to Juliana to break off the relationship with Poppy, but now he could not leave Poppy alone under such circumstances.

Poppy didn't know Kane had his own difficulties. She just felt happy to hear his words of consolation, and she knew that Kane would not leave her.

Thus, Poppy stayed at Lepus.

One week had passed, and people had to wake up from their dreams. Lucia and Arthur took Theodore to Honolulu International Airport together, yet the destination was different. "Lucia, I should escort you to Chicago with Teddy. I am so worried about you." Before he was about to check in, Arthur was making one last effort.

Last night, after Theodore was asleep, Lucia hinted to Arthur to come with her to the balcony and told her plans to him.

"Tomorrow, you go back to the country, and I'll send Teddy back to Chicago." Under the moonlight, Lucia's face looked soft, and the breeze gently held her hair, and that was what Arthur wanted to do most. "No, I'll take you back and when we arrive in Chicago, I'll go back home." Arthur refused.

"Don't go," Lucia said, a little tired, "Esmae must have found out that you and I took Teddy here for a holiday, and I have to explain it to her this time.If she finds out that you sent us back, I am afraid she will..." Though Lucia was not afraid that Esmae lost her temper with her, she did not want to make Esmae angry and sad. It was her fault for concealing it, after all.

"She won't find out," Arthur reached out to take Lucia's hand and said softly, with a plan in mind.

Arthur had never met Esmae before and he wanted to talk to her in person. He was never evasive of the problems. That was his way of doing things.

Lucia looked into Arthur's eyes and read his thoughts.

She sighed and said, "Listen to me, okay?"

"Lucia, I know you've been carrying something on your mind all week and you've just been holding on for Teddy, so let me take it on with you, okay?" Arthur said heartily.

"There's really no need. Your presence in front of your aunt will only anger her. It's better not to go." Lucia said helplessly.

Arthur also knew that things could be worsened by his presence, and he hesitated for Lucia's sake.

Lucia bit her lower lip and suddenly leaned into Arthur's embrace, whispering in the same tone she used to use to fawn him. "Arthur, listen to me."

Arthur only felt a warmth in his arms. Lucia had leaned his body. His heart throbbed. Immediately he reached out to encircle her slender and soft body. His sigh had represented that his persistence failed. Outside the balcony, the waves made a rustling sound, as if they were also feeling sorry for the loving but unlucky "couple".

Hearing Arthur say this again, Lucia smiled helplessly and said, "Didn't we all reach an agreement last night?"

Arthur could only give up. After a fierce hug and a kiss to Theodore, he passed through security first in the sound of the announcement. His flight time was ahead of Lucia and Theodore's.

Reluctantly watching his father leave, Theodore looked like a little man to hold his tears and waved desperately to say goodbye to him. When Arthur completely disappeared at the end of the passage, he looked up to ask Lucia and tears also slipped from the corners of the eyes.

"Mommy, why can't we be together as a family?"

Theodore couldn't figure out why Mommy and Daddy were obviously in love with each other, but Mommy had to send him to Chicago to live with Grandma Esmae, and why Daddy had to hide Esmae from knowing that his dad was on vacation with him.

Lucia's heart ached after hearing Theodore's words, squatted down to tenderly wipe away his teardrops and said softly, "Teddy, the adult world is very complicated and sometimes you can't get what you want, but Mommy promises you that I will always love you, and so does Daddy."
