Chapter 606


    “Do you understand what | have said?” Jonathan asked, just in case.


    Lucian pinched between his brows.


    Despite all he had heard, he was still as confounded as before.


    Given what had happened, he couldn''t tolerate making another mistake.


    Therefore, despite how embarrassing it was, he inquired further, “Tell me in simpler terms what | should say for her to understand


    me.”


    Jonathan was speechless.


    Didnt | make it clear enough?


    “| love you.”


    Jonathan‘s face couldn''t be any more serious as he stared at his friend.


    No sooner had the words left his mouth than a deathly silence ensued.


    Given how earnest Jonathan‘s expression was, even Lucian was stunned for a few seconds.


    When Jonathan saw from Lucian‘s expression that he had gotten his point across, he eased the seriousness on his face and


    continued his coaching. “Do you now know what to say now?”


    Lucian, having regained his senses, nodded.


    “| know that you have never courted a woman in your life, so it''s understandable that you might have some difficulty with it.”


    Jonathan continued in a solemn tone, “Nheless, pursuing ady is simr to closing a business deal. There''s no need to


    beat around the bush. Just let the opposing party know what your intentions are so that they can understand you properly. Or


    else, being shady will never win you any deals.”


    Just as he spoke, Jonathan patted Lucian on the shoulder. “If you like her, you should then admit it instead of using Essie as an


    excuse. If you make it into a habit, Dr. Jarvis, based on her character, will grow to be wary of the little girl. When that happens,


    neither of you will be able to get close to her anymore. And you know what, you would deserve it. But what about Essie? She‘s


    the innocent one in all this!”Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    The instant Lucian heard thest sentence, he wrinkled his brows as the temperature


    around him dropped.


    Feeling a chill down his spine, Jonathan, realizing the gravity of his words, tried tough it off. “I''m just quoting an example. I''m


    sure you know what | mean.”


    Lucian remained silent.


    Truth be told, Jonathan‘s words had hit the nail on the head.


    In fact, Roxanne was already avoiding Este on his ount, while Este was angry at him for the same reason.


    Even then, Lucian didn''t learn from his mistakes because Roxanne would keep her distance unless he used Este as an


    excuse.


    After all, he had absolutely run out of ideas.


    As Jonathan sipped his wine subconsciously, he snuck a careful nce at Lucian.


    Upon seeing the sullen expression on his friends face, Jonathan assumed he had said something wrong and began to regret it.


    However, Lucian‘s voice suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of suppressed anger.


    “What else can | do when she keeps avoiding me?”


    When Jonathan felt that Lucian‘s anger had passed, he heaved a sigh of relief and continued, “You just have to be patient. After


    all, you did hurt her six years ago, so it''s not a surprise that she’s avoiding you. If you really want to change her mind, you should


    drop that high and mighty attitude of yours in front of her. Instead, lower yourself and try to gain her sympathy.”


    As Lucian turned his head to give Jonathan a nce, anger seemed to sh across his eyes, as if he was questioning


    Jonathan‘s audacity to have him y the victim card.


    Reading Lucian‘s mind, Jonathan exined, “After being a doctor for so many years, Dr. Jarvis is definitely someone


    sympathetic. Besides, given how intimidating you are, I''m sure you''ll be able to melt her heart by ying victiin.”
