Chapter 605
Holding that thought, Jonathan couldn’t resist asking, “What did you write?”
However, Lucian had no intention of going into that detail, for Roxanne didn’t even mention the card.
In fact, when he asked her about it, she simply ignored his question, causing him to wonder if she had even seen it.
But if she hadn’t read it, how would she have known that | was the one who sent her the flowers?
Lucian continued to ruminate on the matter.
Since she chose to call me, she must have read the card but wasn’t willing to talk about it. In that case, can there be something
wrong with the card’s contents?
Meanwhile, Jonathan, after waiting a long while for a response, pestered him, “What did you write? If you don’t tell me, how
would | know where the problem is?”
Only then did Lucian relent.
Upon hearing what it was, Jonathan couldn’t resist massaging his forehead. “What do you mean by ‘let’s be honest with each
other? Aren’t you forcing Ms. Jarvis to speculate? Wouldn’t it have been better to pen down your feelings directly?”
If you want Roxanne to admit her feelings for you, you have to do it first!
Throwing him a glance, Lucian added, “She gave me a call after receiving the flowers, and | followed your instructions.”
At that, the hope Jonathan had for his friend was reignited. “What did you do? Did you confess?”
Thinking back to his call with her, Lucian nodded without elaborating.
Seeing that, Jonathan was intrigued. “What did you say?”
Lucian replied, “I asked her if she was willing to return to my side.”
“And?” Jonathan pressed on.
After a momentary silence descended upon the car, Lucian’s voice rang out. “She didn’t say anything.”
Didnt say anything…
Having contemplated upon it for a few seconds, Jonathan reassured him with a smile, “Not saying anything is better than being
downright reject—”
Before he could finish, Lucian continued, “I then told her that Essie needed a mother and since she was fond of Essie…
In that instant, Jonathan was stumped.
He had not expected Lucian to speak so candidly when all he suggested was for the latter to confess his feelings.
Furthermore, he was well aware that Lucian had often used Estella as a pretext to get Roxanne to soften her stance. Little did
Jonathan expect Lucian to still involve her in such a delicate circumstance.
|s he pursuing Roxanne, or is Estella the one doing it?
“What the hell did | do wrong?” Lucian questioned solemnly. “Or is your method useless to begin with?”
Lucian‘s accusation caused Jonathan to shake his head in resignation. “Lucian, that’s not how you court a girl or even confess to
her.”
Looking clueless, Lucian was filled with frustration.
“By bringing Estella up unnecessarily, one could be forgiven to think that you’re using the girl to threaten Dr. Jarvis,” Jonathan
explained.
Lucian‘s frown deepened. “In that case, what should | do?”
“In order to court a girl, you have to soften your attitude,” Jonathan advised. “Also, remember that you’re the one pursuing her; it
has nothing to do with Estella. By saying what you said, Dr. Jarvis might think that you’re giving her the flowers because you
want a mother for Estella. Without knowing what your true feelings are, theres no way she would agree to be with you.”
As he listened earnestly, Lucian felt the exasperation within him gradually build up.
He had never courted anyone before, and he didn’t think courting someone would be such a complicated endeavor.
Even confessing his feelings seemed to be an art.
