Half an hour later, Jonathan arrived at the clubhouse wearing only pajamas with a long trench coat over it.
Fortunately, he was a regular at the clubhouse, so he was recognized as soon as he arrived. Otherwise, he would definitely be refused entry wearing this outfit.
When he arrived at the private room that Lucian booked, Jonathan spotted the latter already seated inside. There were only a few plates of simple appetizers on the table, and the remaining space was filled with bottles of liquor.
One of the bottles was almost empty.
“What's the matter?” Jonathan's heart sank as he sat down gingerly beside Lucian.
Lucian seemed to have only just noticed Jonathan and turned his head to look at the latter, his eyes dark. “I did as you told me to.”
When Jonathan heard that, he frowned because he was unsure of what that meant.
He did as I told him to? What did I tell him? What disaster has happened to put him in this state? As Jonathan pondered, he poured himself a glass of liquor and drank alongside Lucian.
After he downed the glass, a speculation came to his mind.
“It's Dr. Jarvis, isn't it?” Still holding the glass, Jonathan looked at his companion hesitantly.
Other than Roxanne, there was no one he could think of who could bring Lucian out of the house at this time of the night to drink.
The moment he said that, he felt as if the room temperature dropped a few degrees.
Silently, Jonathan wrapped his trench coat tighter around himself, and he believed he already had the answer. Still, he waited for Lucian to speak up.
It seemed like an eternity before he heard Lucian speak up. “What have I done wrong? I did make a mistake six years ago, but after she came back, I have not done anything wrong. Why does she distance herself from me now?”
Jonathan was disturbed by his questions. “Are you and Dr. Jarvis having problems again? Didn't you both go on a vacation together just a couple of days ago?”
