The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1760

Chapter 1760 Huge Loss

Peregrine was silent for a while after watching Lucian leave with Roxanne. He then felt that it was time for him to meet Shawn.

After all, he was technically here at Shawn's behest. Now that things had settled, he should inform Shawn about it.

With that thought in mind, Peregrine went to the mansion Shawn was living at after lunch.

Right as he entered the house, he saw Frieda and Shawn on the couch.

Frieda was all smiles, and she seemed to be leaning toward Shawn, though Peregrine did not know if that was intentional or not. Shawn did not seem like he wanted to avoid her either, so their interaction seemed intimate.

At that, Peregrine furrowed his brows and cleared his throat.

It appeared as though the two people had only just noticed his presence, and they swiftly distanced themselves from each other.

“Old Mr. Lomax, what brings you here?”

Shawn was far more composed than Frieda as he turned to greet Peregrine nonchalantly before asking the butler to prepare tea for him.

Peregrine nodded and sat down on the armchair beside them. “I only came to tell you that the request you asked of me is done.”

Shawn redirected his attention to Frieda upon hearing that.

From Peregrine's words, it appeared that Roxanne had made a recovery, but Frieda had not given him any updates on her case.

Frieda, who was sitting stiffly, noticed Shawn's gaze and panicked. She parted her lips to explain to him, but by then, he had already looked away.

“Are you... planning to head back now?” Shawn took the cup of tea from the butler and placed it in front of Peregrine.

The elderly man shook his head and said, “I'm planning to work at that girl's research institute for a while.”
