Chapter 917 Helpless
Lucian remained quiet while wearing a poker face. Taking in Lucian’s reaction, Jonathan sighed in exasperation.
“Weren’t you thinking about doing something romantic? What else is more romantic than providing help to her
when she needs it most?”
Lucian narrowed his eyes indifferently. “That’s not needed.” I’ll do those romantic things in the future. I won’t help
her this time because she brought this upon herself. This mess wouldn’t have happened if she had come here to
keep Essie company instead of tagging along with Jack to handle those medicinal herbs that day.
He took his anger wholly out on her for the occurrence of the fire incident. Jonathan was clueless about everything
that took place during those two days, so he was baffled when Lucian rejected his suggestion.
Lucian didn’t elaborate, either. He simply looked away, showing no inclination to speak further.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA moment later, Jonathan couldn’t help but ask him, “Lucian, what is the relationship you hope to establish with Dr.
Jarvis?”
The way he saw it, Lucian didn’t strike him as someone who was trying to chase after Roxanne.
Lucian knitted his brows in silence.
“Let me ask the question in a different way.” Jonathan smiled tactfully. “Do you still plan on pursuing Dr. Jarvis?”
This time, Lucian glanced at him impassively.
Jonathan understood Lucian’s personality well, so from the latter’s response, he knew Lucian had tacitly agreed
that he was still interested in her. Perceiving that, Jonathan let out a sigh of relief inwardly.
He was under the assumption that Lucian and Roxanne had, unbeknownst to him, gone through too many
arguments, prompting Lucian to have a change of heart.
It’s fine as long as he’s still planning to win her affection. In my opinion, Dr. Jarvis is undoubtedly the most suitable
person to be with Lucian. After all, it is very rare for Lucian to take the initiative to express his will to chase after a
girl, not to mention the woman is also Essie’s biological mother. It will be wonderful if they get together.
At that thought, Jonathan was convinced that he should try harder to assist them in becoming an official couple.
He cleared his throat and said, “In this case, you should show Dr. Jarvis more care. This relationship won’t work if
you constantly fight with her.”
Lucian shot Jonathan a displeased look and spoke up before he could stop himself. “Are you saying I’m the cause of
these arguments?”
Jonathan was stumped after hearing that. I don’t know the reason behind their disagreement, much less who is to
blame, but…
He advised Lucian, “No matter who brings about the fight, you must be more tolerant since you want to pursue Dr.
Jarvis. All women behave in this way. Regardless of who is at fault, they will always hope for the guys to yield first.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBesides, previously, you…”
Jonathan stopped talking at that point and regarded Lucian with a meaningful look, hinting at the latter to
understand what he was implying.
Meeting Jonathan’s gaze, Lucian frowned.
Needless to say, Jonathan was once again reminding him of the incident six years ago.
Lucian didn’t answer immediately, nor did Jonathan utter any more words as he waited for Lucian to digest the
message he was trying to convey.
After a while, Lucian’s voice rang inside the car. “I got it.”
Jonathan immediately heaved a sigh of relief. “I’m glad that you understand. Don’t blame me for talking at length. I
have Essie’s best interest at heart. If possible, any child would wish for their mother to stay by their side.”
At the mention of Estella, Lucian’s gaze darkened.
He had to admit Jonathan was absolutely right because the little girl had demonstrated her yearning to be with
Roxanne more exaggeratedly than Jonathan had described.
Lucian felt helpless when reminded of how desperately Estella wished him to win Roxanne’s affection.
