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 enough, 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 heard 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 This is from .

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.
