The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1719

Chapter 1719 How Is She

Frieda was annoyed by Jonathan's lecture. Let's see what else he'll say when I become Mrs. Crawford!

“All right, all right. It's as if I've not done enough by bringing the King of Medicine here to help with the treatment. What else do you want from me?” Frieda started giving Jonathan an attitude when she thought she might become a part of the upper echelons of society.

Sensing her annoyance, Jonathan realized he, too, was giving her an attitude for no reason.

Though it was clear that Frieda had a dislike for Roxanne, Jonathan felt it was important to acknowledge that Frieda had helped them. I shouldn't have put her down like that.

At that thought, Jonathan toned down his voice. “I shouldn't have said that. You did Dr. Jarvis and Mr. Farwell a favor by bringing in Old Mr. Lomax. I'll tell Grandpa about it.”

Hearing that, Frieda was pleased with his response. “That's more like it.”

Jonathan heaved a helpless sigh. Being around his sister was like walking on eggshells, so he had to be cautious with his words and action.

“Hey, what are you doing out there?” Peregrine walked in and asked Jonathan when he saw him talking over the phone outside.

After ending his chat with Frieda, Jonathan hung up the phone. He walked over and greeted Peregrine. “I was talking to my sister over the phone. She called to see if everything was okay.”

Peregrine could not help but frown when he thought of Frieda. “Your sister is not on good terms with Roxanne, right?”

Jonathan froze for a moment upon hearing that.

Peregrine only saw Frieda and Roxanne once, yet he could tell the two women did not get along.

Embarrassed, Jonathan bobbed his head in response. “Frieda is a little difficult to deal with, but she's changing for the better.”

Despite his lingering doubts, Peregrine remained silent and decided not to pursue the matter further. Why would Frieda invite me over if Frieda is not on good terms with Roxanne? Even the man named Shawn has never shown up.
