The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 383

Chapter 383

The speculation Jonathan made in the morning plagued his mind for the entire day.

When he went off work at night, he called Lucian.

The man on the other end of the line was swift to answer the call. “Is something the matter, Jonathan?”

Jonathan briefly chuckled. “It‘s been a while since we met. Are you free tonight for a drink?”

Lucian creased his forehead when he heard that–he knew Jonathan had something to say to him, so he lowered his voice and agreed to it.

After ending the call, Lucian instructed Cayden to pick Estella up from the kindergarten before he drove to a private club he frequented.

Just as he entered the establishment, the server came over. “Mr. Farwell, Mr. Queen has been waiting for you.”

Lucian nodded slightly and followed the server upstairs into a private room.

Even though Jonathan had invited Lucian out for a drink, there was only a bottle of beer on the table. The rest that was on the table were plates of delectable dishes.

Jonathan was lost in his thoughts on the couch. When he saw Lucian entering the room, he slowly straightened up and smiled. “I wanted to buy you a drink, but today‘s a busy day, and I haven‘t gotten to eat yet, so it‘s mealtime instead.”

Nodding, Lucian asked the server to leave.

In seconds, only the two of them were left in the room.

Taking a seat beside Jonathan, Lucian asked, “Did something happen? Speak your mind.”

However, Jonathan was stumped.

He remembered the way Lucian treated Roxanne, but he had forgotten that it had been a while since he saw the two people interact.

In other words, he did not know if their relationship had changed after a while.

If things were the same as what his sister told him—if Lucian was silently agreeing to it as well–would his current actions be pointless?

However, by the time he came to those thoughts, he had already made the call to Lucian. Thus, he had no choice but to attend the appointment.

While he was waiting for Lucian, Jonathan had been mulling over that matter. He was unsure if he should talk to Lucian about it.

Hence, Jonathan‘s mind felt even more muddled when he heard Lucian‘s question. Left without a choice, he decided to play a fool and nonchalantly took some of the food with his fork before exclaiming, “I haven‘t eaten the whole day, and I‘m starving! Let‘s dig in first and chat after.”

Upon seeing Jonathan‘s abrupt actions, Lucian only deepened his frown.

El

I shouldn‘t have called him so quickly. If I didn‘t do that, I wouldn‘t be making myself suffer in this way now.

However, the more he tried to do that, the more Lucian could sense that something was amiss with Jonathan,

Ms. Jarvis? As in Roxanne Jarvis?
