Chapter 388
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. 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

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 sh
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.”

Initially, it was because of her two boys and also because he thought Roxanne knew that Estella was her daughter.
Later on, he realized there had been a misunderstanding, but there was no opportunity for him to explain it
anymore.
Now, Roxanne was avoiding him. If he were to tell her about this, he was sure that he would only be troubling her
even more.
Jonathan knew that Roxanne had two children, but he had never seen them himself. Hence, he only muttered, “We
don‘t know what Dr. Jarvis has gone through all these years. Honestly, I‘m curious about where her kids are from.”
Lucian lowered his gaze in silence.

At Lucian‘s silence, Jonathan realized that his friend did not want to continue the topic anymore. Furthermore, he
had received confirmation for his guess, so he changed the topic. “Regardless of everything, Dr. Jarvis is Essie‘s
biological mother, I definitely have to help out for Essie‘s sake, so be at ease and leave Dr. Jarvis‘ matter to me.”
Lucian‘s tense expression relaxed a little, and he nodded at Jonathan. “Thank you.”
Jonathan smiled. “If you want to thank me, you‘ll have to treat me to this meal.”
Smiling in return, Lucian agreed to it.
It was getting late, and since the two were done discussing the main topic, they stood to leave.
When they arrived downstairs, the server came up to them to inquire about the bill. Jonathan raised a brow and
replied, “Put it on Mr. Farwell‘s tab.”
The server glanced at Lucian and saw the man nod. Then, the server bowed at the two respectfully before
watching them leave.
Even after returning to the Queen residence, Jonathan still remembered his promise to Lucian about helping
Roxanne out. He dared not procrastinate on it, and he made contact with several herb suppliers in Horington that
were on good terms with Queen Group and were under Queen Group‘s protection that night. After he offered them
benefits while also threatening them, they agreed to consider working with VR Research Institute.
