CHAPTER 1111
“Let’s not talk about it.”
Frieda took a sip of water irritably as she threw her purse aside.
Aubree raised her eyebrows with a smile. “Let me guess. Did you quarrel with your brother?”
Frieda’s expression shifted slightly in silent admission.
Aubree’s smile became wider at the sight. She produced an exquisite box from her purse.
“Don’t waste your energy on him. Take a look at this.”
Frieda froze for a moment, puzzled, before receiving the box from her and opening it for a glimpse.
The box contained a necklace by her favorite designer that haunted her dreams.
“Aubree, I…” Frieda gazed in shock at the person before her
Aubree surveyed the other with her chin in her hand. “It’s a thank-you gift. The idea you gave me worked out well.”
Frieda’s gloom was swept away in an instant. Putting the box away, she asked about Aubree’s situation, “How are things between you and Essie?”
Aubree was all smiles upon recollecting the incident that morning. “Not bad. The kid isn’t ignoring me anymore.”
She shrugged with a chuckle before continuing, “It would have been better for her if she had behaved this sooner don’t you think? I might have been nicer to her.”
Frieda did not dare ask how she used to treat Estella, so she merely said with a smile, “As long as your relationship with Lucian has improved.”
“The most important thing is Lucian has acknowledged the improvement in my relationship with Essie,” Aubree said, casually mentioning the most important news.
Frieda was surprised at those words. “Why did you say that?”
Aubree recounted the exchange with Lucian over the phone earlier that morning.
