The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 122: Someone Still Watching Over Him
Leonard read the text message several more times.The words were simple, yet they felt far too personal to have come from someone who didn't know him. He tried calling the number, but the call went straight to voicemail.No name.No identity.Just a congratulatory message accompanied by a reminder not to repeat the same mistakes.In the end, Leonard slipped his phone back into his pocket. Whatever the sender's intentions were, he didn't want to spend the evening chasing answers he might never find.Ash rubbed his eyes sleepily."Getting sleepy?"The baby let out a soft little sound as he rested his head on his father's shoulder.Leonard carried him upstairs, changed him into his pajamas, and tucked him into bed, just as he did every night. Only a few months ago, those simple tasks had felt completely foreign. Now, they had become the moments he looked forward to most each day.After Ash fell asleep, Leonard remained seated beside the crib for a while."Daddy's going to do his best to
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 121: An Unexpected Opportunity
The following morning, Leonard once again stood in front of the investment firm's office building where he had interviewed the day before.This time, his steps were much calmer.Whatever decision awaited him, Leonard had already promised himself that he would accept it with grace.Before leaving home, he had dropped Ash off at the nanny's house. As Leonard was about to leave, the baby reached out and grabbed the sleeve of his shirt, making Leonard smile as he bent down to kiss his son's forehead."Wait for Daddy to come home. Hopefully, I'll have good news."Ash babbled softly, as though answering him.Those simple words echoed in Leonard's mind throughout the journey.When he arrived in the lobby, the receptionist who had greeted him the previous day immediately stood up."Good morning, Mr. Ashcroft.""Good morning.""The chairman is waiting for you on the top floor."Leonard looked slightly surprised."I was told yesterday that I'd be meeting the owner of the company.""That's corre
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 120: The First Step
Several days passed after Leonard received the interview invitation. The day that had once seemed so far away had finally arrived.That morning, the little house was already bustling before the sun had fully risen. Leonard woke up early to prepare everything Ash would need. After giving his son a bath, he dressed the baby in a light blue outfit he had bought just a few days earlier. It wasn't a designer brand like the clothes that had once filled the closets of the Ashcroft mansion. It was a simple outfit he had purchased only after comparing prices at several different stores.Ash babbled happily as he played with the buttons on his father's shirt.Leonard smiled."Daddy has an interview today. So both of us need to do our best."The nanny arrived right on time. She took Ash into her arms with a warm smile."You don't have to worry, sir. I'll take good care of Baby Ash."Leonard nodded."If anything happens, call me immediately.""Of course."Before leaving, Leonard kissed his son's
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 119: A New Beginning
The first morning after the wedding was far more peaceful than Adele had imagined.There were no meetings on the schedule, no reporters waiting outside the house, and no phone calls about the past. The new home Sebastian had chosen truly offered a different atmosphere. The backyard, covered in lush green grass, still glistened with morning dew, while sunlight streamed through the large windows of the living room, filling the entire house with warmth.Adele stood in the kitchen preparing a simple breakfast.Over the past few days, many people had offered to help. Even Sebastian's company's private chef had volunteered to come every morning. But Sebastian had politely declined every offer. He wanted this place to be a real home, not simply a house filled with servants.A moment later, the sound of little footsteps came racing down from upstairs."Mommy!"Elena ran toward her, hugging her favorite teddy bear. Her hair was still adorably messy from just waking up.Adele immediately crouch
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 118: A Second Chance
Sebastian and Adele's wedding reception came to an end late that afternoon.Guests gradually left the ballroom one by one, while Leonard went home with Ash without returning to the reception hall. He felt his presence there had been enough. He had given them his blessing, let go of the past he had clung to for so long, and kept his promise to Elena that he would never interfere in her family's life again.On the drive home, Ash slept the entire way.Every now and then, Leonard glanced at the baby seat beside him.The little boy looked so peaceful.Strangely, after watching Elena call Sebastian Daddy, Leonard finally understood something.A child didn't need a perfect father.They simply needed someone who never walked away.That evening, after putting Ash to bed, Leonard sat alone in the living room for a long time, staring at a visitation card his lawyer had given him a few days earlier.It contained the visiting schedule for the correctional facility.Vanessa had finally been grante
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 117: Goodbye, My Daughter
Elena's question left Sebastian silent for a moment.The little girl was still clutching the edge of his suit jacket, occasionally glancing toward Leonard. The fear that had once filled her eyes no longer made her hide behind her mother, but her dislike was still unmistakable. For a child her age, a painful first impression was not something that disappeared simply because the adults said everything had changed.Sebastian gently stroked Elena's hair before lifting her into his arms."Why is Daddy talking to the bad uncle?""Because he's Daddy's friend."Elena immediately shook her head."No."Sebastian smiled patiently."Why not?""Because he's a bad uncle."Her voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough for Leonard, who stood several steps away, to hear every word.He remained silent, allowing Sebastian to handle the conversation.Sebastian didn't contradict her right away."Elena... Uncle Leonard isn't a bad person."The little girl quickly shook her head again.She hugged her teddy
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 6: The Woman Who Had to Disappear
Arabella stared at Sebastian without blinking. The monitor beside her bed beeped softly, while the cold white hospital lights made the room feel even more lifeless.Sebastian pulled a chair closer and sat beside the bed.“What I mean is… Arabella Whitmore has to disappear.”Arabella frowned slightl
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 5: The Hand That Pulls from the Darkness
The night in London felt colder than usual.City lights shimmered beyond the tall glass windows of an exclusive lounge. Soft music played in the background, nearly drowned out by the quiet clink of glasses and hushed conversations.Leonard Ashcroft sat in the corner, his body leaning back against a
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 4: Words More Painful Than Wounds
“…my husband isn’t coming anymore?”The question lingered in the air—light, almost weightless, yet enough to make the nurse standing before Arabella Whitmore hesitate longer than she should have.The nurse forced a smile, but it came too quickly.“He will come, ma’am. He must be busy with something
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 3: The Seed of Betrayal
Arabella Whitmore’s voice was hoarse, barely more than a breath. Yet it was enough to halt Leonard Ashcroft’s retreat.He fell silent.For a few seconds.Too long for a simple answer.But in the end, Leonard gave a small nod.“I’m here.”The words came out… but they didn’t reach his eyes.Arabella
