Mission To Remarry

At noon the next day, Jonathan brought Frieda shopping. They bought a bunch of gifts before driving to the restaurant where they were supposed to meet Roxanne.

The restaurant was near the research institute. Due to the closeness of both locations, Roxanne thought she could head back to do some more work if their meeting ended early.

Something in the research institute held her up, so Jonathan and Frieda were already waiting in the private room by the time she arrived.

“I'm sorry, Dr. Jarvis. Did I interrupt your work?”

Despite addressing Roxanne by her name in front of Lucian, Jonathan was mindful of his behavior and addressed her politely when she was present.

Roxanne offered him a polite smile. Her gaze then landed on Frieda, and confusion crossed her eyes.

If I'm not mistaken, Frieda never liked me. So why is she here today?

Considering how busy she was handling various projects at the research institute, Roxanne did not want to be involved in any trouble.
