The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 366

Roxanne chuckled without saying anything. Looking up at Jonathan standing opposite her, she said with a smile, “The reason for my visit this time is also because there's something I need Mr. Queen's help with.”

Jonathan agreed readily. “How can I be of help, Dr. Jarvis?”

Just as she was about to respond, Alfred waved his large hand dismissively. “Don't talk about it here. Lunch should be ready by now. Why don't you have lunch with us, Dr. Jarvis? The two of you can talk while you eat.”

A torn expression flashed across Roxanne's face upon hearing that.

Instead of saying that my visit here is to seek Jonathan's help, it'd be more accurate to say I'm here to confront him. But with Old Mr. Queen welcoming her so warmly, I don't know if I'll be able to bring myself to question Jonathan!

“Dr. Jarvis, you have made a trip all the way here, so stay and join us for a meal,” Jonathan chimed in too.

With that, he helped Alfred into the mansion.

Roxanne had no choice but to follow them, abandoning the speech she had prepared in her head earlier.

While sitting around the dining table, she was wondering how to bring up the matter when Alfred asked, “Dr. Jarvis, didn't you say you needed Jonathan's help with something? What is it?”

Jonathan also turned to look at her.

She hesitated briefly, then took a list of medicinal herbs from her bag and handed it to Jonathan. “I'm not sure whether Queen Group still has these in stock. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the supplier I work with can't supply them to me at the moment. Since I need them urgently, I had no choice but to come and ask for Mr. Queen's help.”

Jonathan took the list and furrowed his brows slightly after glancing through it. “These are not very common medicinal herbs. I recall we have some in the warehouse, but I don't know whether they'll be enough.”

Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief at those words.

She was unsure whether it was because Alfred was right next to him, but Jonathan clearly appeared willing to help. Well, it looks as though this will solve the urgent shortage at the research institute.
