The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 95: A Right He No Longer Had
Leonard didn't answer immediately.His gaze remained fixed on the document in his hands.With every page he turned, his jaw tightened further.A custody petition.Not a request to take Ash away from the Ashcroft family.Not a request for release from prison.Instead, it was a formal petition seeking regular visitation rights with her son.Leonard slowly closed the file.Silence filled the room once more."She wants to see Ash?"The lawyer nodded."Legally, Vanessa is still his biological mother."Leonard leaned back in his chair.Tired.So incredibly tired.Because for the first time, he was beginning to understand something.Vanessa was a murderer.But she was still a mother.And unlike him—At least she had fought for her child."What do you recommend?"The lawyer hesitated."Legally speaking, the court will most likely grant at least part of her request."Leonard let out a short laugh.Not because it was funny.But because of the irony.Vanessa was sitting in prison, yet she was st
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 94: That Mean Uncle
Elena's innocent words made Leonard stop in his tracks.He didn't turn around immediately.But his entire body froze.Because there was no hatred in Elena's voice.No anger.Only the fear of a little girl who didn't want a stranger disrupting her world.And somehow, that hurt far more.Adele gently stroked her daughter's hair."It's okay, sweetheart."Elena wrapped her arms tightly around her mother's waist."I don't like it when that man makes Mama cry."A sharp ache tightened in Leonard's chest.Because the child was right.Every time he appeared, old wounds were torn open again.Every time he showed up, there were tears."Let's go home."Sebastian's voice was calm.He picked Elena up and started walking toward the car.Elena still had her arms wrapped tightly around his neck.As if the safest place in the world was right there.Leonard watched them.And for the first time—He truly understood what Arabella must have felt.Watching someone else fill a place that should have been his
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 93: Elena Is My Daughter
Elena's words hit Leonard far harder than any accusation he had ever faced.The little girl clung tightly to Sebastian's neck.Her face was still wet with tears.Her small body trembled.And all that fear was directed at Leonard.Not at a stranger.Not at a criminal.But at her own biological father.Leonard stood frozen in place.His gaze remained fixed on Elena.His daughter.The child who had been living only a few steps away from him all this time.The child he had seen laugh.The child he had seen play.The child he had seen calling Sebastian Papa.And now he finally knew why.Because when Leonard wasn't there—Sebastian was.When Leonard abandoned them—Sebastian stayed.When Leonard chose to slander them—Sebastian chose to protect them.Slowly, Leonard lowered his hand.He didn't even dare move closer anymore.Because the fear in Elena's eyes was too obvious.Too real."I won't hurt you."Leonard's voice was quiet.But Elena only buried herself deeper against Sebastian's shoul
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 92: Everything You Threw Away
"...Arabella?"Leonard's voice was nearly drowned out by the sound of the waves.But it was enough to freeze everyone in place.Adele stood several steps away from him.Meanwhile, Elena was still crying in Sebastian's arms.No one moved.No one spoke.Because that one name had finally been spoken.The name that had been buried for years.The name that had been hidden for years.The name that was supposed to be dead.Leonard stared at Adele without blinking.He no longer even seemed aware that Elena had been in his arms only moments earlier.His entire mind was focused on one thing.Arabella.And the longer he looked at Adele's face—The more certain he became.Those eyes.That voice.The way she looked at him.Everything."Adele..." Leonard's breathing grew heavy. "You..."But before he could finish—Adele laughed.Not a happy laugh.Not a relieved laugh.But a laugh filled with years of pain."Finally."Her gaze never left Leonard."You finally figured it out."The words struck him h
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 91: Arabella?
Vanessa froze instantly."Leonard is looking for Arabella?"Her lawyer nodded."And that's not all."He opened several documents."He's investigating Adele as well."A wave of unease immediately settled in Vanessa's chest.Because she knew.Sooner or later, this day was always going to come.Leonard had been slow to realize many things.But he wasn't stupid.And once he started suspecting something, he would never stop until he found the answer."Does he know already?""Not yet."Vanessa let out a quiet breath.Yet somehow, the feeling of uneasiness remained.Because this time, the situation was different.Leonard had lost everything.And people who had lost everything were often far more dangerous.Three days later.A small seaside town.The sky was clear.A warm breeze drifted through the air.Elena ran across the sand, laughing.Teddy was tucked securely in her arms.Meanwhile, Sebastian walked several steps behind her."Careful. Don't fall.""I'm not going to fall!"Elena's immedi
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 90: A Greater Collapse
Leonard's question still hung in Sebastian's office.But Sebastian didn't answer immediately.Instead, he walked back to his desk and picked up a glass of water.That only made Leonard more frustrated."You're not going to answer?"Sebastian shrugged."Answer what?""Stop playing games with me.""I'm not playing."Leonard clenched his jaw.Meanwhile, Sebastian set the glass down on the desk."Adele is Adele.""That's not an answer.""It's the only answer you're going to get."Leonard's gaze sharpened.He felt he was so close.So incredibly close.Yet there was still one wall he couldn't break through."I know you're hiding something.""Maybe.""Sebastian.""You should be using all this energy to save your company."The atmosphere shifted instantly.Because that was the reality Leonard kept trying to avoid.Ashcroft Group.A company that was dying.A company his family had once been so proud of.And now it stood on the brink of collapse.But Leonard shook his head."I'll find the answe
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 49: Don’t Ruin Sebastian’s Match
The charity dinner ended close to midnight.Guests slowly began leaving the ballroom one by one while a light rain started falling outside the hotel once again.Vanessa was speaking with several socialites when Adele walked toward the main lobby.Her black gown swayed softly with every step she too
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 48: Wanting to Kill from Afar
Vanessa immediately glanced at Leonard after hearing that quiet murmur.“What?”Leonard’s gaze remained fixed on Sebastian and Adele.Sebastian appeared to be saying something that made Adele smile faintly.And strangely—The sight instantly ruined Leonard’s mood.“Since when does Sebastian enjoy t
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 47: Sebastian’s New Plan
Adele’s gaze immediately shifted to Sebastian.Meanwhile, Elena had already started falling asleep in her mother’s lap, clutching her white rabbit doll.“What is it?”Sebastian leaned back calmly.“Leonard is becoming too focused on you.”Adele gently stroked Elena’s hair.“That was the plan.”“At
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 44: Vanessa’s Fear
The moment those words left his mouth, Vanessa’s face turned pale.“Are you seriously saying that to me?”Leonard set his coffee cup down on the table by the window without looking away.“I don’t joke when it comes to that child.”Vanessa let out a short laugh, her eyes beginning to burn.“Amazing.
