The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 384

The atmosphere in the room turned tense.

Jonathan discreetly shuddered and pondered if he should continue.

“Why are you asking about that?” Lucian glanced at him.

Jonathan cleared his throat before replying with as much nonchalance as he could muster, “When she came to give Grandpa a checkup yesterday, I suddenly recalled that you were on good terms with her, so I wanted to ask you about it. If you rarely talk to her, then...”

Then I'm not going to bother myself with the matter anymore.

Before Jonathan could finish his sentence, the other man's eyes darkened.

Jonathan was certain that Lucian would decipher what was going on soon. Hence, he halted and gave Lucian a confused look. “What's the matter, Lucian?”

“Do you want to court her?” Lucian's brows were tightly knitted, and Jonathan could see the traces of annoyance in them.

His question rendered Jonathan dumbfounded and speechless.

What have I said to make him think this way?

Indeed, Roxanne was a nice woman, but Jonathan knew well about her relationship with Lucian. Even though that relationship was now in the past, he was still not going to do something that would make him an unloyal friend.

Furthermore, Roxanne's rejection when Alfred tried to match-make them had been obvious. How could he possibly shamelessly court her still?

Nevertheless, Lucian was gloomily looking at his friend as a myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind.

As far as he knew, even though Roxanne infuriated him a lot, she was quite the charming woman in many ways. Therefore, it was not surprising for his friend to be interested in her.

Moreover, with the way Jonathan had been acting the entire time... He had been hesitant to speak ever since Lucian entered the room, so evidently, Jonathan thought of the matter as a tough topic.
