Chapter 393


    Jonathan noticed the way they looked into each other‘s eyes and had the sense to say nothing.


    Only after they retracted their gazes did he smile and say to Roxanne, “Those herb suppliers that I hav


    e contacted only have branch offices in Horington, but they should be


    able to provide a consistent flow of supply to your research institute. Is that all right with you, Dr. Jarvis


    ?”


    Pulling herself out of her reverie, Roxanne put on an appropriate smile. “Since they are introduced by y


    ou, I am confident of their capabilities. Furthermore, a small


    research institute like ours won‘t be requiring lots of herbs. The branch


    offices should be able to satisfy our demands.”


    Raising his


    brows, Jonathan uttered, “It may be small now, but with you around, who knows what may happen in th

    Roxanne smiled and did not respond. Instead, she asked, “What is


    the n for the business proposal with those herb suppliers?”


    Right now, all she wanted was to resolve the issue before Sonya could react.


    Once she settled the supply issue and left the country, she would have nothing to do with the research i

    Jonathan answered her query, “Their main offices


    are in Summerbank. It‘s best that you go there in person whenever you‘re avable, Dr. Jarvis.”


    Hearing him, Roxanne agreed in a heartbeat, “I can go there anytime. Once they confirm the time, plea

    Jonathan nodded.


    Once the discussion regarding business was over things were a bit awkward in the private room.


    Jonathan began to panic when he looked at the two of them.


    Although Roxanne did not chase Lucian away, the both of them had not spoken a single word to one a


    nother.


    In the end, Jonathan decided to help them.


    “Lucian, how has Essie been for the past two days?” asked Jonathan innocently as he took a mouthful


    of food.


    Both Lucian and Roxanne‘s expressions changed when they heard that.


    Not expecting Jonathan to mention Este out of the blue, Lucian instinctively nced at Roxanne, onl

    his brows, he replied unhappily, “She‘s fine, but her mood has been unstable. James has beening


    to see her quite frequently.”


    Ever since Este knew that Roxanne nned to relocate to another country, it had been bothering her


    . Even though Este was trying her best to get well, her mood swings were still


    evident.

    At that thought, the temperature around Lucian dropped gradually.


    The moment Roxanne heard Jonathan mention Este, she tried her best to keep calm and not ask abo


    Upon hearing Lucian‘s reply, she felt even guiltier.


    Roxanne was aware she was the cause of Este‘s mood swings, but she still said those harsh words to

    Once again, Jonathan spoke. “What exactly happened? Essie‘s condition has been stable for quite a wh
