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 relationship 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, "Essie's her daughter."
Jonathan had long guessed that, but hearing it from Lucian was another matter. It took Jonathan a while to come back to his senses after hearing Lucian's response.
The time Roxanne left and Estella's age, along with how close Estella was with Roxanne, made Jonathan suspect that Estella was Roxanne's daughter.
However, it seemed Roxanne treated Estella like any ordinary child whenever they interacted, so Jonathan
dared not jump to any conclusions about that.
Thus, he was perplexed to hear Lucian's confession.
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 she?”
Lucian nodded in affirmation. "It seems like something has happened midway, so both Essie and Roxanne 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 then?"
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 this complicated.
At his question, Lucian's gaze darkened. "It's because she has two sons."
