Chapter 2142
At the pub, Christopher was dressed in a green shirt, sitting in the corner of the room as he sipped his beer while
glancing at the time.
He emanated an aura of elegance and aloofness that drew women to him, but even as countless women walked
past him, he gave neither of them a glance and instead waited patiently for his mate to arrive.
“What is he doing here?”
In the distance, Laura picked up her glass and took a sip from it as her gaze landed on Christopher. She had come
to the pub that night to drown her sorrows alone. Initially, she thought that if she remained by Joshua’s side long
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtenough, he would realize how successful and attractive she was and see that she was so much better than Luna.
She never thought that someone as handsome and successful as Joshua would turn out to be such a simp! He loved
Luna so much that he would not change his mind about Luna no matter what Laura said.
In Laura’s mind, if this were directed toward her, she would call this devotion, but if it was directed toward another
woman, it was nothing but stubbornness and ignorance!
Because of this, Laura had come to the pub to drown her sorrows in alcohol.
She was devastated by her failure to seduce Joshua, but at the same time, she could not help thinking that it was
Joshua’s loss to miss out on such a good woman like herself.
She lifted her head to glance at Christopher and finally could not stop herself from walking over to his table.
“Drinking by yourself, Dr. Roberts?” Christopher and Laura were both the top performers in the medical field.
Christopher was more focused on drug research, whereas Laura was well-versed in clinical medicine.
Even though technically they were in different subspecialties, they were nonetheless among the best in their field
and therefore had met each other on countless occasions before.
Christopher lifted his head to glance at her when he heard her voice. “Aren’t you here by yourself too, Dr. Suess?”
Laura smiled. “It’s not strange of me to do so. After all, I’ve always participated in wine parties, but…”
She gave Christopher a once-over EWAXK_xn added impassively, “This might be the first time I ever see you
drinking, Dr. Roberts. What’s wrong? Something on your mind?” “Not really.” Christopher curled his lips into a smile
and shot Laura a polite but somewhat distant glance. “I’m meeting my friend here; he’s the one with something on
his mind.” Then, he lowered his head to glance at his phone. “He’s about to arrive soon. Please excuse
me, Dr. Suess.” Laura narrowed her eyes when she sensed how indifferent Christopher was toward her. She had
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmheard plenty of rumors about Christopher’s sexual orientation. In her mind, it was one thing to be undesired by
Joshua, but another thing entirely to be looked down on by someone who clearly liked men and befriended women.
Was something wrong with her? No, that was impossible! She, Laura Suess, was God’s treasured child and the rising
star of the medical world, so how could there be something wrong with her? Surely Joshua and Christopher must be
the ignorant ones! As soon as she thought of this, Laura sat down in front of Christopher, smiling instead of leaving
as he wanted. “Dr. Roberts, I remember that you have a daughter named June, right?” Christopher paused,
frowning, then glanced at her. “Yes. Why are you asking?” Laura smiled. “I just think it’s such a coincidence, but I
happen to have a young patient by the same name whom I saw recently. She looks about five or six years old, and I
think she’s about the same age as your daughter, Dr. Roberts. “She has big, beautiful eyes and rosy skin, and she
loves wearing traditional dresses. “When I saw her, I thought, ‘How could every pretty girl who likes wearing
traditional dresses possibly be called June? Was this a coincidence?” ,Christopher furrowed his brows.
