Chapter 388


    However, Jonathan had been harboring a thought ever since he learned that Roxanne was Lucian‘s ex


    –wife who had left without a word, and he could not help but ask it at that moment.


    “What rtionship does Dr. Jarvis have with Essie? I‘ve never seen Essie so reliant on anyone.”


    Even though Jonathan did


    not say it out loud, Lucian could guess what Jonathan was trying to ask. Hence, he mildly replied, “Essi

    Jonathan had long guessed that, but hearing it from Lucian was another matter. a while toe back t


    o his senses after hearing Lucian‘s response.


    The time Roxanne left and


    Este‘s age, along with how close Este was with Roxanne, made Jonathan suspect that Este was


    Roxanne‘s daughter.


    However, it seemed Roxanne treated Este like any ordinary child whenever they interacted, so Jonat

    So Dr. Jarvis doesn‘t know about this? She gave birth to the girl, but she has no idea about that?


    Jonathan simply could not wrap his head around the matter, so he hesitantly asked, “Dr. Jarvis doesn‘t


    know about this, does sh


    Lucian nodded in affirmation. “It seems like something has happened midway, so both Essie and Roxa


    nne don‘t know about this.”


    The more Jonathan thought about it, the more absurd he found it to be. “Why don‘t you tell them both t


    hen?”


    If Dr. Jarvis finds out that Essie‘s her daughter, she might choose to marry Lucian again for the sake of


    Essie. Things won‘t be thisplicated.


    At his question, Lucian‘s gaze darkened. “It‘s because she has two sons.”

    Initially, it was because of her two boys and also because he


    thought Roxanne knew that Este was her daughter.


    Later on, he realized there had been a misunderstanding, but there was no


    opportunity for him to exin it anymore.


    Now, Roxanne was avoiding him. If he were to tell her about this, he was sure that he would only be tro


    ubling her even more.


    Jonathan knew that Roxanne had two children, but he had never seen them himself. Hence, he only m


    uttered, “We don‘t know what Dr. Jarvis has gone through all


    these years. Honestly, I‘m curious about where her kids are from.”


    Lucian lowered his gaze in silence.


    The children‘s history was still a mystery to him.


    At Lucian‘s silence, Jonathan realized that

    Jonathan smiled. “If you want to thank me, you‘ll have to treat me to this meal.”
