Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279

Lily brought in a bowl of royal jelly soup that Charlotte was fond of, and said with a smile, “Madam Charlotte, you’re in for a treat! It’s been quite a while since we prepared this soup, and you happen to be here just as we made it today.”

Lily’s comment wasn’t entirely truthful. In fact, they had been making royal jelly soup every day to help with Ryan’s throat as part of his treatment. The Klein family had sent some, the steward of the Hell Monarch Estate had contributed a few jars, and Frederick had also bought some.

Charlotte looked at Lily with a smile.

“I’m quite a food enthusiast, and couldn’t resist coming when I heard there was something delicious. I’ve been coughing lately, and I thought a bowl of royal jelly soup would cure it. I’m sure I’ll stop coughing tonight.”

Carissa asked in concern, “You’re still coughing? The last time you came to see Ryan, I noticed you coughing too.”

“With the constant gloom and arguments all day, it’s no wonder I can’t get better,” Charlotte said, stirring the soup in her bowl with a spoon, her face showing both worry and disgust.

“Barrett either doesn’t come home, or when he does, Aurora argues with him and even gets physical. Barrett really can endure he doesn’t retaliate or respond to her insults. Aurora behaves like a shrew, and he just lets her be.”

Charlotte suddenly looked up at Carissa, and added, “If Aurora comes to find you, you mustn’t see her. She’s completely lost her mind.”

Carissa shook her head. “Why would she come to find me? That’s impossible.”

“Impossible? During their arguments, she said she would come to see you.”

“Why would she want to see me?” Carissa was bewildered. “I’m no longer involved with them.”

“Who knows what she’s thinking? She must have insects crawling around in her head,” Charlotte said with a cough.

Carissa was still trying to process the information. “So, does this mean Aurora wants to come and take some of my dowry from me?”

“I don’t think that’s the case. The king granted you a divorce through an edict, so they can’t keep your dowry either way. Who knows why she wants to drag Barrett to see you? With her crazy behavior, she might do anything. It’s for the best that you refuse to see her if she comes.”

After a pause, Charlotte added with frustration, “But given her current state, if you refuse to meet her, she’ll just make a fuss outside, which would be very troublesome.”

Carissa hadn’t expected Barrett and Aurora’s quarrel to involve her.

What concern was it to her? If it wasn’t about taking her dowry, then what was about? Were they here to demand justice?

Carissa hadn’t even demanded any from them!
