Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1898

Three minutes to Lucian was akin to the time taken to drink two cups of coffee.

But to Jonathan, that three minutes was extraordinarily long.

He habitually glanced at his watch and then forced himself to pull his focus back from all the rambling thoughts.

“Lucian, I...”

“Hold on!” Lucian immediately raised his palm in front of Jonathan without waiting for him to finish.

He discovered that Jonathan was so precise in his time management, measuring right down to the second.

He casually used three minutes as a reference, and Jonathan took it seriously without missing a second.

It must be so mentally tiring to cope with an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Lucian could not help but pity Jonathan.

“Jonathan, before you decide, I want you to know that I'll support you unconditionally no matter what choice you make in the end. Do you understand me?” Lucian's gaze became warmer and gentler.

Jonathan was overwhelmed with gratitude when he heard that.

He nodded and forced a faint smile. “Lucian, I'm feeling drained recently. So I'd like to put things down for a while temporarily.”

As he spoke, he could not help but raise his eyes to look at Lucian's reaction.

Seeing Lucian's nod of approval, Jonathan continued, “I appreciate Roxanne's kindness. Perhaps you could give me some time. I think I want to take a break. Is that all right?”

“Of course, certainly!” Lucian promptly agreed.

With that, he poured Jonathan a cup of coffee and reassured him, “Listen, Jonathan. From now onwards, you can freely express whatever opinions you have to me. Do you hear me?”
