Chapter 455
Seeing how Roxanne was still able to smile, Lucian’s already grim face turned even colder. He could
no longer hold back his anger as he asked, “You seem to have a good rtionship with Mr. Morrison,
Dr. Jarvis”
Both Jonathan and Roxanne were shocked at his sudden query.
Jonathan was sharp enough to notice the friction in the air and quietly kept his mouth shut in order to
make his presence as little as possible.
After moments of stunned silence, Roxanne calmly met Lucian’s gaze. “I’ve known Larry for a long
time. He has taken great care of me, and I’m very thankful for that.”
Upon hearing her reply, Lucian pursed his lips. “Is that so? Is it even longer than the years that we’ve
known each other?” His tone wasced with mockery.
Roxanne’s heart clenched at that. She subconsciously cast a look in Jonathan’s direction.
Lucian’s choice of words was more than enough to insinuate that there was something going on
between them.
Fortunately for her, Jonathan’s expression did not change at all. It seemed like he did not hear Lucian.
Roxanne sighed inwardly in relief and turned back to look at Lucian. “My friendship with Larry is
iparable with my rtionship with you, Mr. Farwell.”

Realizing that Roxanne was still trying to avoid talking about what had happened between them,
Lucian’s voice was filled with scorn as he replied, “You’re right. I’ve only met you a few times, Dr.
Jarvis. How could I everpare with the many years of friendship between you and Mr. Morrison? I
wonder to what extent has Archie and Benny epted him?”
He was simply implying that Roxanne wanted Larry to be the father of her two children.
Roxanne’s eyebrows knitted into a tighter knot. The anger in her tone was evident as she eximed,
“Larry and I are just friends. Please refrain from speaking such nonsense, Mr. Farwell!”
Lucianughed tauntingly. He was just about to retort when Jonathan grabbed onto his arm and
interrupted with a cough, “I think Grandpa is awake now. Let’s go and check on him, Lucian.”
Before Lucian could even react, Jonathan grabbed him by the arm and signaled for
him to follow him upstairs.
Lucian looked at Roxanne, annoyance evident in his eyes as he shoved Jonathan’s hand away
wordlessly.
Seeing that, Jonathan felt an impending headache as he thought that Lucian was going to continue
fighting with Roxanne.
Jonathan had deliberately created the opportunity for them to mend their rtionship, not for them to
argue with each other at his house.
Fortunately, Lucian said nothing further. After pushing Jonathan’s hand away, he silently stood up and
headed for the stairs.
Jonathan also scrambled to get up. “I apologize for his behavior, Dr. Jarvis. He doesn’t mean anything,
so don’t dwell on it too much. We’ll head upstairs to check in on Grandpa. Please wait for a moment.
He’ll being down soon.” He smiled apologetically at Roxanne
Now that Jonathan had spoken up to ease the tension, Roxanne naturally would not say more about
the situation. She suppressed the fury in her heart and nodded at him.
Jonathan smiled sheepishly and followed after Lucian.
“What’s going on with you, Lucian? Didn’t youe here today to patch things up with Dr. Jarvis?”
Jonathan couldn’t help but ask after climbing to the upper floor.
Lucian merely remained silent while wearing a grim expression.
He, too, did not know why he decided toe over.
Roxanne was estranged from both him and Este. Moreover, the little girl had been so sad the
previous night because of Roxanne.
Lucian had deliberatelye over to talk to Roxanne on behalf of Este, but he had lost his cool the
moment Jonathan and Roxanne mentioned Larry’s name.
If it hadn’t been for Jonathan, who interrupted them in the nick of time, Lucian wouldn’t know what
words woulde out of his mouth.
Observing the furious expression on his friend’s face, Jonathan sighed helplessly. “With whatever that
happened between the two of you six years ago, you have to be more patient with Dr. Jarvis if you want
her to ept you.”
