The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1408

At Lucian’s remark, Jonathan inwardly rolled his eyes. “I was the one who expended the effort to obtain them!”

That being said, the Pearson family doesn’t have the capability to fight me, considering their current state. Basically, they’re free resources!

Lucian merely regarded the man with an inscrutable look in his eyes.

Intimidated by his stare, Jonathan changed the subject and inquired about his relationship withRoxanne at present.

“How are things going with Roxanne? Don’t tell me there’s no progress even after you went on a trip with her?”

I’d been racking my brain to give him ideas for a long time. If there’s really no progress, I truly feel sorry for Roxanne!

Speaking of the events that transpired in Jadeborough, Lucian inexorably recalled that passionate night there. His gaze darkened a shade.

Jonathan noticed the change in the man’s expression. Alas, he couldn’t tell what it meant and could only eye Lucian in puzzlement.

“Just answer the question. Don’t grin so devilishly when I’m not Roxanne!”

No sooner had those words rang out than Lucian corralled his thoughts. His expression turned indifferent once more. “It’s going pretty well, thanks to your idea.”

That was considered his reply to the question earlier.

However, Jonathan remained unsatisfied and wanted to know the details. “What does that mean? What stage exactly have things progressed to?”

Based on his understanding of Lucian, merely holding hands would already be considered “pretty well” since the latter’s relationship with Roxanne was exceedingly tense previously.

Regretfully, Lucian merely smiled without saying anything.

Jonathan scrutinized him for a long moment while speculating soundlessly. Hmm, they must have made rapid progress. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be wearing such an expression.

Following that realization, gratification flooded him.

Yay! My backbreaking effort in giving him countless ideas hadn’t gone to waste!

As Lucian seeming had no plans of revealing anything further, he tacitly stopped harping on that line of question.

Subsequently, the two of them briefly discussed the Pearson family’s resources.
