Chapter 596
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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpondered, 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?”
Frowning, Lucian placed the glass back on the table, which produced a sound.
Jonathan’s heart skipped a beat as he wondered what had gone wrong between them. How did Lucian end up
broken like this?
After a moment, Lucian’s voice rang out as cold as ice. “It would have been better if there was no vacation!”
Lucian was the one who had planned the vacation; he had even swapped the winner of the first
prize at the last minute.
In retrospect, the effort should not have been spent.
If the turning point of their relationship had remained as it was at the end of the stage play, perhaps Roxanne would
not be rejecting him as she was currently doing so.
Even until now, he had not figured out what went wrong during their vacation.
Jonathan listened in bewilderment. “What do you mean? Weren‘t you happy during the vacation? Didn‘t you listen
to my advice to let her have her way?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBy right, to warm up the relationship, the vacation was the opportunity to patch things up, and nothing could go
wrong.
As Lucian frowned and recalled the experiences during the vacation, he felt even more upset.
He did more than just let her have her way. In fact, he had all but done everything and anything as she wished.
Even Archie and Benny‘s attitude toward him had improved.
Sometime during the vacation, he had felt that things were improving between them, but unexpectedly, just before
it ended, there was a sudden change in her temperament.
At this point, Lucian‘s expression turned cold as ice.
Watching Lucian‘s face, Jonathan could more or less guess what was on his mind, and he became increasingly
bewildered.
“How could that be? If you had done as I said, Dr. Jarvis‘ attitude toward you should change for the better!”
