His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 1897

Chapter 1897 A Well Deserved Break

The next morning, Jonathan came over.

Lucian instructed the kitchen to prepare some pastries and served them with coffee to Jonathan.

Both were chatting casually while enjoying the food when Lucian brought up Roxanne's idea.

Usually, Jonathan would respond by nodding and acknowledging with an “Okay.”

However, Jonathan appeared a bit apprehensive today. He looked at Lucian cautiously. “Lucian, c-can I decline?”

Lucian froze upon hearing his reply and instinctively furrowed his brows.

At that moment, Jonathan thought Lucian was upset with him. He hurriedly explained, “Lucian, I know these are Roxanne's thoughts. But I... I'm feeling a bit tired nowadays.”

Lucian snapped out of his daze and quickly shook his head. “There's no need to explain. I'm not angry.”

He looked at Jonathan with a gentle gaze.

For so many years, Jonathan had been a trusted aide of his who would never say no to him.

Regardless of the decisions made and the targets set by Lucian, Jonathan would strive to execute them without any complaints.

That showcased the absolute trust and chemistry between them.

Deep inside his heart, Lucian was grateful for having such a buddy who was impeccable in so many ways.

However, the recent events with Elektra and Jonathan's rejection got him thinking.

Have I been putting myself above him all this while and that's why I never pay attention to his feelings? Or is it because of my authoritative and aggressive working style that made him fearful of me?

Whatever the reason might be, Lucian realized he had some shortcomings.

Seeing the changed expression on Lucian's face, Jonathan hesitated if he should retract his words even though he had mustered much courage earlier to reject Lucian.
