Since Roxanne’s return up until now, they had been interacting more than Jonathan knew.
As far as Jonathan was aware of, Lucian had been helping Roxanne almost all the time. Even the
opportunity to cooperate with the Damaris family was Lucian’s doing in disguise.
No matter how deep the misunderstanding between the two of them was six years ago, after all that
Lucian did, at least Roxanne should be grateful, even if she did not plan to reconcile.
Moreover, Lucian had created so many opportunities for them to spend considerably quality time
together.
As far as he knew, Roxanne was not a heartless person, so what was the reason she was unmoved?
Lucian frowned deeply, his expression as dark as thunder.
Jonathan’s misgivings were the same questions that he, too, had concerning Roxanne.
Previously, when he thought Roxanne had abandoned Estella, for a time, he had the impression that
she was a cruel person.
Now, though the misunderstanding was resolved, Roxanne still alienated herself from him.
Once again, the question of whether Roxanne was really cruel occurred to Lucian.
“If Dr. Jarvis was really unmoved, how did you spend the vacation? Did each of you just go separate
ways?” Jonathan could not help but feel curious.
Lucian shook his head. “I really can’t fathom what goes on in that head of hers. Before the vacation
ended, I honestly felt that she was being friendly with me.”
Jonathan nodded, as he could understand what the other man meant. “Does that mean your
relationship had its ups and downs, but there were also moments of tenderness?”
At that, Lucian nodded indifferently.
Jonathan could feel an incoming headache. Their relationship seems really incomprehensible.
He thought Roxanne was always cold toward Lucian. It was truly unexpected that there were moments
of closeness between the two of them.
If so, how did they drift apart after periods of closeness?
Jonathan looked at Lucian in confusion. He wanted to give up trying to understand what was going on.
If Lucian himself cannot understand what is going on, how am I supposed to comprehend their
relationship? Then again…
“Lucian, you and Dr. Jarvis… What do you want her to be?” Naturally, Jonathan did not want to see
Lucian go on suffering. After much thought, he decided that he must help the latter out.
Hearing that, Lucian frowned without giving an immediate reply.
“Do you want to reconcile with her?” Jonathan questioned again. “Perhaps you want to marry her
again?”
After all, Roxanne was Estella’s biological mother, and the little girl was fond of the woman.
Even Jonathan himself was of the opinion that Roxanne was the right woman for Lucian.
Lucian turned to look at him without admitting nor denying what he had suggested.
Presumably, silence was acquiescence.
Seeing Lucian’s response, Jonathan made the decision to persuade him. “Well then, I think you can
directly discuss your thoughts with Dr. Jarvis. After all, according to what you said, her attitude toward
you is sometimes warm. Perhaps, just as you don’t understand her, she’s guessing what is on your
mind.”
Jonathan looked at Lucian’s expression as he spoke. “If this goes on, and your relationship goes up
and down, then after a long time, it might not turn out how you want it to. You will more likely end up as
enemies. That is not what you want to happen, is it?”
Lucian frowned a little, looking tired. “Then what do you think? How should I explain it to her?”
