Chapter 1097


    Jonathan was even more taken aback by that. “She’s all right after such a short period of time? Does that mean she’s doing


    much better now?”


    “She spent a day at Roxanne’s,” Lucian said nonchntly.


    Jonathan could guess what Lucian was trying to say.


    It was not because Este’s condition was getting better for her mood to have improved so quickly; it was because she met


    Roxanne.


    However, Jonathan found the way Lucian mentioned Roxanne strange.


    Is he really... nning to cut ties with Roxanne?


    Jonathan''s confusion was clearly written on his face.


    Noticing that, Lucian said, “I talked to her about it. It’s true that we can’t progress any further in our rtionship, so we’ve


    decided to do as she says-to be strangers.”Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    “Are you really giving up just like that?” Jonathan could not believe what he had just heard.


    Lucian frowned. “What do you think?”


    You can’t possibly ask me to cast aside my dignity to beg Roxanne to change her mind. | can’t do that, and she won''t change her


    mind anyway.


    Jonathan drew his brows together. “What about Essie? Dr. Jarvis is her mother, and the girl adores her too.”


    The mention of Este made something sh past Lucian’s eyes. “I’ve talked about this with Aubree. She''ll treat Essie well, and


    as time passes, I’m sure Essie will slowly ept her.”


    Getting Essie to ept Aubree?


    Jonathan found that incredulous.


    He had invited Lucian out because Frieda had gleefully told him about how Lucian was nning to stay engaged to Aubree.


    Perhaps it was because Jonathan had been Lucian’s wingman in the past. Frieda was exceptionally arrogant when she told him


    about the news.


    Of course, Jonathan did not believe it.


    He was the one who witnessed Lucian courting Roxanne in all the ways he could think of, so he found it hard to believe that


    Lucian would give up on Roxanne so easily.


    Even if Lucian did give up on Roxanne, Jonathan felt that he should not have chosen Aubree.


    Este’s dislike of Aubree throughout the six years was apparent to them all.


    How could Lucian marry a woman that Essie did not like and make her Essie’s mother?


    Even when he heard the confirmation from Lucian, he still thought that he was dreaming.


    “Essie hasn''t epted Aubree in six years. Do you really think she’ll suddenly change her mind?”


    Lucian was unfazed, however. “We still have to give it a try.”


    “What happened between you and Dr. Jarvis? You’re not someone who gives up this easily!”


    Silence ensued.


    Lucian lowered his gaze and drank away.


    Jonathan downed his wine and huffed, “If | had known that you were going to give up so easily, | wouldn’t have helped you back


    then. Look! You can choose not to see Dr. Jarvis from now on, but the Queen family still has to interact with her. How am |


    supposed to face Dr. Jarvis now?” Jonathan scrunched up his face in frustration. “Also, my grandfather told me to take care of


    Dr. Jarvis. What am | supposed to say to him about | this?”


    As he spoke, he carefully observed the expression on Lucian’s face.


    He said that to find out if Lucian would have a change of heart.


    s, despite his long speech, Lucian’s expression remained the same. It was as if he had not heard Jonathan at all.
