The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 384

Chapter 384

The atmosphere in the room turned tense.

Jonathan discreetly shuddered and pondered if he should continue.

“Why are you asking about that?” Lucian glanced at him.

Jonathan cleared his throat before replying with his much nonchalance as he could muster, “When she came to give Grandpa a checkup yesterday, I suddenly recalled that you were on good terms with her, so I wanted to ask you about it. If you rarely talk to her, then...”

Then I‘m not going to bother myself with the matter anymore.

Before Jonathan could finish his sentence, the other man‘s eyes darkened,

Jonathan was certain that Lucian would decipher what was going on soon. Hence, he halted and gave Lucian a confused look. “What‘s the matter, Lucian?”

“Do you want to court her?” Lucian‘s brows were tightly knitted, and Jonathan could see the traces of annoyance in them.

His question rendered Jonathan dumbfounded and speechless.

What have I said to make him think this way?

Indeed, Roxanne was a nice woman, but Jonathan knew well about her relationship with Lucian. Even though that relationship was now in the past, he was still not going to do something that would make him an unloyal friend. –

Furthermore, Roxanne‘s rejection when Alfred tried to match–make them had been obvious. How could he possibly shamelessly court her still?

Nevertheless, Lucian was gloomily looking at his friend as a myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind.

It took Jonathan a while before he could recollect himself after Lucian‘s shocking question. Then,

he quickly waved his hands to deny it. “Why would you think that? I just noticed that Dr. Jarvis has lost much weight and since you were so protective of her back then... I wanted to ask if the two of you have...”

Jonathan nodded in affirmation. “I could see it when Dr. Jarvis was treating my grandpa and during my grandpa‘s birthday celebration. We‘re friends of many years; how can I not know you well?”

Lucian curled his lips mockingly.

To outsiders, he was exceptionally protective of Roxanne.

Yet, who would have guessed that Roxanne would avoid him and even flee overseas just to hide from him?

The moment Jonathan sensed the change in Lucian‘s demeanor, his headache returned.

He could not say that Lucian had nothing to do with that—that Lucian was still concerned about Roxanne. Yet, despite all that he had said, he had not heard a single word of concern from Lucian. In fact, Lucian seemed aloof and in a bad mood as if someone had owed him their life savings.

At the same time, Jonathan could not say that Lucian cared not for Roxanne. After all, he had never seen his friend undergo as many mood fluctuations as this for a woman before. Not only did Lucian not interrupt him, but he actually continued the topic Jonathan raised.

So should I talk about that matter with him?
