My Mommy Is A CEO

“Jacob … ah, I always feel … what we did to Lucia … a bit too much,” Though Poppy said so, her tone of voice was full of mockery. She leaned back and looked like she was enjoying it.

Jacob breathed fast, held her long, slender legs, and thrust harder against Poppy. “A bit too much? She’s so stupid… I bet she could never find out it was me and you who had set her up…”

Struck by a heavy blow, Lucia was unsteady on her feet and took steps back. As she pieced things together, anger boiled up in her chest.

“You are shameless!”

In the next second, she strode, pushed open the door, and snarled.

The two intertwined looked over and got startled. Jacob’s hard-on softened and Poppy wrapped herself in a quilt and hid behind Jacob as if she was confronting a great enemy.

Lucia’s heart ached. If she hadn’t accidentally caught Jacob cheating on her, she would look like a fool and be thrown out of this house!

“Hehe.” A wry smile lifted the corner of her mouth. She shivered and raised her hand to point at Jacob, and said snappishly, “Jerk!”

Jacob sneered and gazed at her sideways, “Why are you still hanging on?”

“Jacob!” Lucia was hysterical, hatred in her eyes, “You will be punished by God, I will sue you and I will put you through jail!”

Poppy nestled in bed and put on her nightgown. Stepping on the fine fleece carpet with bare feet, she looked at Lucia and said, “Go ahead! Just sue us! Your short-lived father would definitely be pissed off by you if he was still alive!”

“Poppy, I want you to die!” Lucia was furious and instantly pounced on Poppy, wanting to strangle her.

However, she didn’t even have a chance to get close to Poppy because Jacob pushed her away, “Lucia, stop acting crazy. If you hurt Poppy even a little bit, I’ll kill you!”

“Ah!” The next second, a heart-wrenching pain came from her scalp as Jacob pulled her hair and forced her downstairs.

“Bang!”

The door slammed shut. Lucia fell to the ground. Looking at the illuminated house, which was once her home, she could no longer refrain from shedding tears.

Raising her head, she saw dark clouds overhead, and the rumble of thunder was louder.

Suddenly caught in heavy rains, she was drenched in the rain, the cold rain running down on her face, down on the collar of her clothes.

She reached out and tried to grab something, but failed to get anything…

Perhaps the sight stirred up her feelings. She suddenly remembered the unpleasant past.

“Mom!” Lucia’s hem of clothes was tugged, and she squinted to see the boy’s cute face and meet his bright and dark eyes.

The plane traveled through clouds that were 6, 000 meters above. As the captain made an announcement, the plane gradually descended and a sense of weightlessness awoke Lucia.

Seeing her wake up, the boy grinned, showing his white teeth, “Mom, the plane is going down!”

For him, the gradual clarity of the horizon was particularly new.

Lucia smiled, her delicate fingertips pinching the boy’s pink cheeks, full of affection on her face, “Okay, mommy knows. Teddy, fasten your seat belt.”

“Yep!” Theodore Webb nodded hard, wiggled his little legs, and stretched hard across Lucia to the window, trying to get a peek at the view.

He was curious not about the white clouds in the sky, but about what the city under his feet really looked like.

Though his mother had taken him to many places when she was working, this time he arrived in her hometown!

Looking at his excited and adorable face with soft eyes, Lucia ruffled his hair, closed his eyes, and sighed silently.

The plane soon landed. The airport was bustling, and baggage check-in and claim were even more crowded. Lucia clutched Theodore’s hand as the conveyor belt carried suitcases one by one, while a neon sign in the distance showed some big words, “Welcome to Athegate”.

Athegate.

Five years later, it was still like a thorn in her heart.

She came back. Actually, she didn’t want to come back.

With the breakup of her marriage, she was thrown out of the house by Jacob penniless. The only way she could think of was to rely on her father’s friends, so she reached out to her father’s old friend Auntie Esmae.

After learning of her misery, Auntie Esmae picked her up and took her to the USA without a second thought.

It was the darkest day of her life, and every time she thought back, she was still fluttering with fear.

She once wanted to commit suicide, but then she found out she was pregnant. Depression and unstable fetal position made her suffer a lot.

Auntie Esmae was very busy taking care of her, and the psychologist helped her. After going through a lot, she finally gave birth to Teddy.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

If she hadn’t gotten an offer from Jibillion Inc to become Executive Officer of the European Region after studying at MIT, she wouldn’t have returned to this place that made her sick!

“Phew …”

She breathed a sigh of relief. As the luggage came to her, she let go of Theodore to carry luggage.

However, as soon as she let go, Theodore jumped and scurried out of the crowd.

“Teddy!”

Lucia was so anxious that she dragged her luggage, emerged from the crowd, took a few steps to catch up with Theodore, and grabbed him by the collar at the back of his neck, “Teddy, how many times did mommy tell you not to run around? What if you get abducted by traffickers?”

Theodore looked back, smiled with curved eyebrows, pointed ahead, and said, “A good-looking lady talked to me, and I responded to her politely! Mom, I am a good boy, right?”

Many people at the airport were attracted by the mother and son.

Lucia was wearing a fiery red slip dress and a wide-brimmed hat with her curly hair draping. Not only did she have delicate features, bright eyes, red lips, and white teeth, but she was also a combination of beauty and elegance.

Wherever she went, she was eye-catching. She attracted attention with a pretty boy by her side, whose small face was pink like a porcelain doll.

The boy was rolling his watery, big eyes as dark as obsidian. He had a small and upright nose, pink lips, and baby fat, so cute that others hated to pinch it.

He wore suspenders with a dinosaur tail and a light blue t-shirt, dressed in a simple yet cute style, like a character from a comic book.

“Teddy, mommy taught you not to go with strangers, remember?” Looking at his look expectant for praise, Lucia could not say a word of reproach.

She could only rub his head and taught him in a soft voice.

Theodore clutched her finger and rubbed his face against the back of her hand, pouting and nodding cutely, “Got it, mommy, Teddy remembers mommy’s words!”

This boy was so good at acting cute!

Even Lucia’s heart melted. “Good boy. Let’s go!”

Holding her hand, Theodore jumped restlessly, stepping on the seams of floor tiles as if he was playing a game.

When she left the terminal, Lucia saw a young girl in her twenties in the crowd holding a small sign that read: Miss Lucy.

She had been using this name for the past few years.

“Hello.”

Lucia greeted her with Theodore and the young girl looked surprised, “Eek! Are you Miss Lucy?”
