Chapter 457
Meanwhile, Alfred was trying to persuade Roxanne to consider Larry. “You’re still young. You shouldn’t be putting
your entire focus on work. I heard that Larry would be at the upcoming medical consultation as well. I remember
the two of you getting along pretty well during my birthday celebration previously.”
After hearing the old man’s words, Roxanne felt rather speechless.
Alfred seemed to be especially concerned about her love life. First, he suggested that she consider Jonathan. Two
days ago, he brought up the representative from the Damaris family, and now, it was Larry. She was rather
impressed by the man’s efforts in trying to get her attached.
“You and Larry are quite compatible since you are both practicing medicine,” Alfred emphasized, having put some
thought into the situation.

about it after the medical consultation. That’s all that’s on my mind now. I’m not in the mood to think about
anything else.”
Alfred gave the woman a disapproving look before saying, “Even though you can wait, your two kids can’t. They’re
still so young. How can they grow up without a dad?”
Seeing how persistent Alfred was, Roxanne’s head was starting to hurt.
Besides, she could feel the surrounding atmosphere getting increasingly tense.
The woman had a crease between her brows as she glanced at Lucian, who was wearing a grim expression, and
could feel her temples throbbing.
Just when she was thinking of how to end the topic, Lucian spoke. “Old Mr. Queen, Dr. Jarvis had brought up her kids
all by herself all these years. If she really were to find them a dad, she would have to consider it carefully. I don’t
think you need to worry about it.”
Alfred frowned when he heard that and sighed. “You’re right. You have it easier than Dr. Jarvis in this aspect. After
all, you have Aubree taking care of Essie, and the two o you are also getting married soon. If you know of anyone
suitable for Dr. Jarvis, you should introduce him to her.”
Lucian’s eyes darkened. After shooting a glance at Roxanne, he replied curtly, “OK.”
After accidentally meeting Lucian’s gaze and hearing the conversation between the man and Alfred, conflicting
emotions welled up in Roxanne’s heart.
On the other hand, Alfred, who was feeling rather satisfied with Lucian’s response, changed the topic back to the
medical consultation.
Just then. Jonathan walked down the stairs with the recommendation letter in his hand. When he reached the first
floor, he detected the tense atmosphere in the room at once. Having a bad feeling in his heart, he hurried toward

Alfred and said, “Grandpa. here’s the recommendation letter.”
After passing the letter to his grandfather, Jonathan cautiously took a quick glance at the two people beside him
and noticed that their expressions were obviously darker compared to earlier on.
Roxanne was still smiling a little while discussing matters regarding the medical consultation with Alfred.
However, Lucian was completely expressionless and was exuding a frightening aura.
As Alfred was engrossed in the discussion with Roxanne, he did not notice it.
Jonathan sat down next to his grandfather nervously, feeling confused. He wondered what had happened during
the short time he was away.
Roxanne had noticed Lucian casting intermittent glances at her but tried to suppress the uncomfortable feeling in
her heart. When the topic of the medical consultation ended, she took the opportunity to take her leave. “Old Mr.
Queen, if there isn’t anything else, I shall not disturb you any further. I had intended to check on your condition, but
today doesn’t seem appropriate for that. I’ll come again another day,” she said to Alfred.
Without thinking much about it, Alfred handed the recommendation letter to the woman and said goodbye to her
after reminding her about some matters.
