Mission To Remarry

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.
