Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 828

Frieda gave a perfunctory nod before turning around and entering her room.

Only after watching her disappear behind the door did Jonathan walk downstairs. When he arrived at the backyard, he saw that Lucian was already chatting with Alfred.

“I did that to save Dr. Jarvis from the predicament, so why are you thanking me?” Alfred gazed at Lucian in bafflement as the latter had started expressing his gratitude a short while into the conversation.

Lucian maintained a polite mien in front of Alfred. After listening to the old man's remark, he merely flashed a faint smile. “I'm well-acquainted with Dr. Jarvis, so I think it is reasonable for me to thank you on her behalf.”

Alfred waved his hand nonchalantly. “All I did was mention the truth. Dr. Jarvis saved my life. I should help her with this small favor.”

After saying that, Alfred asked Lucian about his and Aubree's marriage. “When do you plan to settle down with Aubree? Both of you are not getting any younger, especially Aubree. After all, she's a woman. She cannot afford to wait too long.”

Lucian's eyes darkened. He did not elaborate further on that matter in front of Alfred and merely responded with a courteous grin.

Hearing Alfred bringing up the topic of Lucian's wedding, Jonathan hurriedly moved forward to smooth things over.

Soon, Jonathan managed to change the subject of the conversation. Lucian became disinterested in the discussion and began giving half-hearted responses.

Comprehending his state of mind, Alfred waved his hand and said, “I'm getting a little tired. I want to go upstairs and rest now. You two can carry on.”

Upon hearing that, Lucian and Jonathan bade farewell to Alfred respectfully. Jonathan then accompanied Lucian to the manor entrance and saw him off.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Jonathan saw Frieda, who had come downstairs and was prepared to head out.
