Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 1098

Chapter 1098

Right as Jonathan put down his glass in resignation and was about to declare that it was none of his business

anymore, Lucian spoke.

“I don’t think I should give up so easily either. After all, the woman’s Essie’s biological mother.”

Jonathan brightened up upon hearing that, and he asked, “Does Dr. Jarvis know about her relationship with Essie? If

she doesn’t, you should tell her about it. I’m sure she’ll change her mind.”

That was a thought he had since a long time ago, but as the matter was Lucian’s family matter, it was up to Lucian

whether or not he wanted to tell Roxanne about Estella’s birth circumstances.

However, it seemed that the two were going to lose each other again, so Jonathan steeled himself to make the

suggestion.

Almost immediately, Lucian’s hand holding the wineglass froze in mid-air.

Tell Essie’s birth circumstances to that woman? Maybe I would have given this a thought if Roxanne hadn’t given up

on me… But now, it’s pointless.

Thinking that his suggestion was fantastic, Jonathan looked at Lucian in anticipation as he waited for his response.

“If you still want her back by your side, this is the best way to get her to come back!”

A beat later, Lucian finished his drink and uttered quietly, “No.”

Jonathan’s eyes widened.

He’s really planning to give up on Roxanne!

“She can’t give me what I want, and she can’t give Essie what Essie wants. What I can give her isn’t something she

wants either,” Lucian said.

Jonathan could only blink at him, bewildered. “Why do you say that?”

Lucian’s eyes fluttered shut as he recalled the memories of their time together.

“What Essie wants is for her mother to be by her side, but clearly, Roxanne’s preoccupied with the Damaris family’s

project. Her full focus is on it, and even when Essie went to her, she left the two kids to take care of Essie instead.”

It was the same for the last time. The girl was so miserable, and Roxanne heard it, but she still chose to prioritize

her work.

Lucian pursed his lips, the air around him turning a few degrees colder. “At the start, I was hoping that she would

stay in the country for that project, but who knew that she would throw her entire self into it?”

Even now, he still could not figure out whether Roxanne saw the project as something so important because of the

project itself or because of the one in charge of it.

Jonathan nearly jumped in fright at the change in Lucian’s mood, but when he heard Lucian’s words of complaint,

he became amused.

Then a smile appeared on his face.

“Why are you smiling?” Lucian asked before shooting him a cold look.

The smile on Jonathan’s face remained wide. “I’m just thinking about how even you can’t escape from something

like this.”

Lucian knitted his brows in confusion.

Jonathan cleared his throat but deliberately kept quiet for a while.

It was only when he sensed the air around him turn even colder did he shudder and said, “You say Dr. Jarvis is too

focused on her work and has neglected Essie and your feelings. But think about this from another angle. Didn’t you

do this to Dr. Jarvis six years ago?”
