She Is A CEO

Chapter 1204 Surprise or Scare?

Lucia didn't even know how she got into the car. By the time she realized what was happening, Jan had already driven far away. Although Lucia felt uneasy, she couldn't deny that Jan's words made sense. So, in her heart, she silently decided to go to work first and continue contacting Arthur. If Arthur still didn't come back, she would search for him all over the world!

On the way, Lucia was lost in thought and didn't notice that Jan wasn't heading towards the company but instead driving further out of town until Lucia looked up and saw an unfamiliar view outside. "Jan?! Where are we going?!" Lucia asked anxiously.

Jan smiled faintly and said leisurely, "You'll find out when we get there."

Lucia's eyes widened in shock. What was Jan up to?! She asked again, "Jan, what are you doing? Where are we going?"

But this time Jan remained silent and focused on driving.

For a moment, if it weren't for knowing that Jan was a trusted servant of the Davies family, Lucia would have jumped out of the car! But soon enough she realized where they were headed. This road seemed so familiar... Memories flooded back as Lucia sat stunned in the backseat.

This wasn't just any road. It led straight to her own home!

Finally stopping at Webbex Manor's front gate gave Lucia an answer.

After parking the car safely by the side of the road, with a smile on his face, he turned around to say, "Ms. Webb I'll leave you here now. Please go ahead inside."

What?!

Lucia was quite confused.

Still smiling kindly like an elder relative, he urged her from his seat, "Go ahead!"

Lucia got out of the car with suspicion, and the large tree in front of the house was still lush as before. Every leaf was vibrant under the sunlight. However, she stood in front of the iron gate, staring like a puppet.

Jan felt incredibly fortunate, as he was able to witness so many dumbfounded expressions from the usually sharp and clever Lucia in such a short amount of time. Seeing her hesitating, he urged her from the front seat,

"Ms. Webb! Go inside!"

Inside?

His words seemed to trigger something within Lucia's mind like turning gears... She reached out tentatively towards those iron gates guarding generations-old manor house before pushing them open slowly... She hadn't walked more than few steps when Lucia encountered first wave of indescribable "surprises".

Looking around, everything was just as it had always been. But the gravel path leading to the main house was covered in lily petals of all colors - bright yellow, pure white, vibrant orange, bold red, and even lively pink. Lucia could smell their delicate fragrance on the wind. It was refreshing and invigorating.

Without thinking twice, she took a deep breath and looked towards the end of the petal-covered path. A smile spread across her lips as she eagerly ran forward with each step kicking up countless petals. She felt like a fairy dancing among them in the sunlight.

At the end of the path stood her long-awaited man... and others!

"Lucia!" Esmae called out to her gently with Chris, Reynolds and Shawn behind her.

"Lucia! You're finally here!" Sophie exclaimed happily while leaning on Edwin with Douglas by her side and Bailey standing nearby.

"Lucia! You're so slow!" Helena complained loudly while Otis held onto her arm.

"Lucia! Come over here." Juliana waved at Lucia while holding Kane in her arms.

"Lucia! Hurry up or my wife is going to give birth without you!" Eduard joked around with Daphne who was heavily pregnant by his side.

Even Jack's group who had previously pretended to say goodbye when Lucia left for home were there too!

"It's been so long since we've seen you but you're still beautiful," Lola smiled sweetly at Lucia as Kyle apologized for lying under duress earlier on.

"Lucia... did you expect me back?" Eve playfully blinked at Lucia while holding Lauren's arm tightly.

"Mommy!" Theodore shouted from his heart when he saw his mother before him carrying little sister Kylee in his arms; both children beaming brightly as they called out "Mommy!"

Finally, it was that deep magnetic voice that always managed to easily shake her soul, along with the large hand he extended toward her.

"Lucia, come here."

Watching the scene before her, before she even took a step forward, Lucia's eyes were already teary, and hot tears were streaming down. Arthur, you big jerk! Disappearing for two days, and it turned out...

Her heart was overflowing with countless emotions, as if just a little more, bit by bit, it would burst open.

To express her overwhelming emotions, Lucia suddenly lifted her leg and ran towards Arthur, throwing herself into his arms like a bullet.

Lucia cried and Arthur couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He lowered his head and hugged her tightly while wiping away her tears. "I'm sorry, it's not easy to gather everyone together. You must have been worried these past few days."

Lucia's response was a heavy punch that landed on Arthur's chest, making him feel both sour and happy.

At this point, everyone started talking at once.

"You don't even know how much effort Arthur put into preparing this surprise for you. He even went out of his way to find all of us," Helena said with the fastest mouth. "Bailey and I were the first ones here!" Douglas boasted proudly.

"Lucia, considering how hard Arthur worked to prepare this surprise for you, forgive him for keeping it a secret?" Even Esmae spoke up for Arthur.

Prepare? Prepare what? Wiping away her tears foolishly, Lucia looked at Arthur with questioning eyes without saying anything.

Arthur smiled lightly before reaching

into his pocket to take something out. However, as soon as he did so Lucia stopped him in his tracks by shouting "Stop!" This left everyone stunned. What was going on?

Things were already obvious at this point. Could it be that Lucia still hadn't realized why Arthur had done all of this today?

Arthur's expression was priceless - not because he had an expressive face but because after being stopped by Lucia he just stared at her without any reaction whatsoever!NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Finally pulling down on Arthur's hand

forcefully, Lucia pouted before reaching into his pocket herself. Sure enough she found a small square box inside which she

grabbed without hesitation and held firmly in the palm of her hand.
