Chapter 728 A little jealousy

As soon as Nia left, Arthur went back to his desk, sat down, picked up his phone, and sent a message to Lucia.

"Just now, I felt out Nia's tone. She trusts Casper very much and even vouches for him with her personality. Their relationship is never simple. I suspect that Casper is Jacob's henchman."

After the message was sent, Arthur picked up his pen and opened the file to get ready for work. However, Lucia did not reply to the message. He was waiting for it. From time to time, he would be distracted and look at his phone. In the end, he even put down his pen. Holding the mobile phone, he turned to look out the window of the building and focused on waiting for her reply.

She didn't reply the message. He was not at all interested in his work.

Finally, Lucia replied, and Arthur opened it to find a picture of a baby's foot. He smiled, only to find Lucia at the bottom of the picture asking,

"Did you have fun?"

She was jealous...

Aware of this, Arthur smiled widely and his typing speed was faster.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"Just a few words. You told me to get her to talk, didn't you?"

"Well... I let you..." Lucia replied, adding a meaningful emoji at the end.

Arthur savoured Lucia's words and, with a growing smile on his face, added,

"Is the baby asleep?"

A few seconds later, Lucia sent Arthur a picture of the baby sleeping peacefully. Looking at his daughter's face in the picture, Arthur's heart was filled with happiness. Later, Lucia texted again.

"Your guess is probably right. Besides the fact that Jacob sent him, how could Nia trust a strange man she met on social media with such a suspicious mind? We have to infiltrate his background, and also, does his father know that he's involved with a fugitive like Jacob?"

"I've been looking into his college records, and I'll know more soon."

"Well, I have a lot of people here, so I'm going to have to ask you to look into these things," Lucia said deliberately as she looked at Arthur's message.

Sure enough, Arthur replied,

"It's not a request. I volunteered."

Lucia smiled. Clearly, there was no one else present. There was only the sleeping baby in the cradle beside her, but she still smiled secretly. She had the willfulness of being a little woman. "Keep an eye on Spencer too. He's been flying to the USA a lot lately, and he always stays there for a few days. It doesn't match his schedule. I suspect he's up to something," Lucia replied. "Bailey is in San Francisco right now. I've asked him about it. Spencer rarely goes back to San Francisco. It's not clear where he's going."

"Have Teddy look it up."

"Well, I'll let Teddy know. And I'll let you know the result," Arthur answered, remembering his brilliant son.

Now that the important things had been said, the two of them began to gossip. Lucia couldn't say much else, so she turned to the baby. She told him about the baby's habits, sleeping patterns, and how much weight she gained, from which two people drew a deep sense of attachment from each other.

Arthur listened, and looked. Though he seemed calm, he looked forward to the day when the truth would be revealed to him more than Lucia did. At the day, he would hold her and the children in his arms, never let them go.

However, they still had to endure it before the day came. So, at the end of the conversation, Arthur and Lucia simply said goodbye calmly. They did not dare to reveal their feelings too much.

The next day, Spencer left Athegate, and now his focus was completely off Cloudwork. From its initial high profile to its current obscurity, many people had almost forgotten about it, but Spencer didn't care. But many of the juicy details he left at the party yesterday were picked up by the media, who not only questioned Lucia's commitment as a mother, but also speculated wildly about the relationship among the four of them. They were not ashamed to say that their previous reasoning was correct, that Arthur had the intention to attract Nia, as evidenced by the fact that he invited Nia to his office alone. While Lucia was drifting between Arthur and Spencer, the relationship among the four was so confusing that people can't tell the difference between real and fake, but it was also talked about by the public. Arthur was furious when he read the reports. He was never afraid of suspicion, but not of Lucia!

This time, the media was speculating that he invited Nia to the office alone. What would Lucia think if she saw this. Arthur decided to hold the media accountable for these irresponsible fabrications, but before he can arrange it, Theodore found Spencer's destination abroad.

It turned out that, as soon as Spencer left Athegate, Lucia told Arthur the news immediately. And Arthur had used Theodore to track down Spencer's recent destinations. After knowing these destinations, Lucia rushed to Arthur's office and talked with him face to face.

Just as she arrived at the assistant's table, Lucia was stopped by Kyle.

"Ms. Webb, he wants to hold the media accountable for their false reports. Do you think that's necessary?"

Since Lucia had stopped him once before, Kyle wanted to ask her for her opinion. Although it meant he didn't respect Arthur, he knew that Lucia had the final say.

"No, I'll talk to him later." Lucia had expected Spencer to say nothing nice to reporters yesterday, but they were asking for trouble if they cared.

"Okay, I won't do it," Kyle said.

Lucia smiled at Kyle, walked back to Arthur's office, knocked on the door, and saw him waiting for her.

"Lucia, come and sit down." Arthur saw Lucia and immediately went over to her. He took her coat and hung it up. They went to the sofa together, and a map of the USA was already on the coffee table. "Are these the places Spencer has been lately?" Lucia looked at the map, where Arthur had circled Spencer's destinations.

"Yes, these places he's been to are in pretty wide range, but there is a pattern," Arthur said.

After looking at the map for a while, Lucia quickly memorized the place names in her mind and then connected them. After a while, her eyes lit up. She looked up at Arthur and said, "These places are near the important ports of the Great Lakes!"
