The abandoned Wife Fractured Bonds: The Battle for Estella's Future
However, Sonya seemed unfazed by that. “Sonya has told me about this already. Essie was the one who had not been obedient, and Aubree only punished her in that way in her panic. She has already apologized to me. Essie is at fault too. Aubree will be her stepmother in the future, but she’s still kicking up fusses like these.”Hearing that, Catalina realized she could not say anything else. All she could do was cast a pitying look at Estella.The girl had just walked out of her own world recently. After this crying session, Catalina was afraid that she might revert to her state from the day before.After Archie and Benny heard their conversation, they guessed that the unfamiliar woman was Estella’s grandmother. Nevertheless, they did not hold themselves back as they refuted, “Essie didn’t kick up a fuss. That bad woman is in the wrong to have hurt a kid! Why would you listen to an outsider and scold Essie? She’s been badly hit, but you don’t feel upset for her at all? If not for my momm

Lucian was filled with hatred at the mention of Aubree. “Do you know why Essie resents her?”Stunned, Sonya explained at once, “Is it because of what Aubree did to Essie? Didn’t she explain it to us already? She didn’t do it on purpose and was only worried about Essie’s safety. It only happened under desperate circumstances. Moreover, she regrets her action and has apologized to us about it.”Just as she finished, she turned the tables on him. “As for you, you have gone overboard with your recent behavior toward her!”Sonya’s intentions were clear. She still hoped that Lucian would marry Aubree.Over the last six years, she had pestered him many times about it.Lucian cocked a brow in annoyance. “I know what I’m doing. There’s no need for you to interfere.”Sonya was upset. “You know what you’re doing? Are you really planning on canceling the engagement?”Before Lucian could reply, Sonya’s expression drastically changed while the resolve in her voice hardened. “No matter what, you per

The next morning, Roxanne sent the children to school alone as Lucian didn’t come.When Pippa saw Roxanne by herself, she was surprised. “Ms. Jarvis, where’s Mr. Farwell today?”Roxanne was briefly stunned by the comment.She wasn’t expecting Pippa to notice that Lucian had brought the children to school with her over the last two days, let alone inquire about his absence.As it gave the impression that she and Lucian were close, Roxanne was stumped for an answer.Nonetheless, Estella brought out her notebook and wrote: I’m living with Ms. Jarvis now!She then raised it up with a vibrant smile on her face.When Pippa saw how cheerful Estella was now in contrast to her listless expression from two days ago, she couldn’t help but beam and stroke Estella’s hair. “I see.”Subsequently, she returned her gaze to Roxanne and was bowled over by how much Estella liked Roxanne and her sons.Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief in her mind when she saw Estella answer on her behalf. After handing the

“That’s not what I meant.” Jonathan felt helpless.He admired Roxanne and felt that she would make a good friend. Yet, regardless of what he said, she would always steer the conversation back to Alfred’s treatment.In no mood for idle chatter, Roxanne asked out of courtesy, “Is there anything else?”As it would be rude to hold her back, Jonathan replied, “That’s all. Goodbye.”Roxanne nodded before getting into her car.After watching Roxanne drive away, Jonathan returned to the mansion.Frieda, who was drinking coffee on the couch with a scowl on her face, gave him the side-eye before recovering her gaze.Jonathan’s expression darkened when he caught her reaction. “Why are you behaving this way? What has Dr. Jarvis done to you for you to be so hostile to her? Don’t forget that she is Grandpa’s savior!”Frieda looked at Jonathan and refuted, “Savior? It’s not like we didn’t offer her anything. We’re just getting what each of us needs out of it.”Filled with displeasure, she inquired f

However, when he didn’t hear Archie’s response, he, too, fell silent and waited for his brother to express his thoughts.When it came to Estella, she had no objections, for she was used to eating with Lucian. In spite of that, she remained seated when she didn’t see any movement from the boys.Noticing the expectant look in Benny’s eyes, Archie paused for a moment before indicating his agreement by getting off the bench.Behaving just like his lackeys, Benny and Estella followed suit.Even though no words were exchanged, Lucian recognized their tacit agreement to have dinner with him.After the four of them got into the car, Lucian drove, while the children sat in a uniform row behind.“Since I don’t know what you like, I’ll just bring you to one of Estella’s favorite restaurants.” Lucian decided on the spot.Benny answered without another thought. “I’m fine with that!”Just as he spoke, he felt a tug from Archie and proceeded to keep his mouth shut sheepishly.Without another word, L

In the end, Lucian had no answers to Benny’s questions. In fact, he was intrigued about the actual genesis of the questions.Subsequently, the tension at the table intensified with no one saying another word until dinner was over.When Estella, who didn’t speak anyway, saw the somber mood the brothers were in, she felt equally glum.As the only adult at the table, Lucian tried to liven up the atmosphere with new topics but failed when the brothers just refused to talk.Once dinner was over, he sent the children back to Roxanne’s house.As Roxanne wasn’t back yet, Catalina, who was feeling worried, was relieved to see Lucian and the children.Instead of leaving right away, Lucian stayed to make small talk with Catalina while watching the children play in the living room.It wasn’t until around eight o’clock that Roxanne finally returned from work.However, the children only threw her a glance and didn’t rush to welcome her like they usually did.From their response, Roxanne could sense

During the weekend, Roxanne planned to take them out for the day, as they have not gone on an outing ever since Estella started staying with them.“Mommy!” Archie and Benny approached her enthusiastically. “Let’s take Essie to the aquarium!”Hearing that, Roxanne looked in Estella’s direction to seek her opinion.The latter nodded obediently.As long as I can stay with Ms. Jarvis, Archie, and Benny, it doesn’t matter where I go.With that, Roxanne got the children to pack up before heading to the aquarium together.Since Lucian was usually busy with work, he seldom brought Estella out. As for Archie and Benny, it was the first time both of them visited an aquarium in the country.The moment the children entered the aquarium, they were captivated by the smorgasbord of marine life in it. From time to time, they would stop to interact with the fishes.Roxanne would patiently wait and take pictures for them. Furthermore, she would also provide an explanation of the fish that she recognize

Roxanne finally came to her senses. She glanced at Estella before whispering, “Estella… She seemed to have spoken just now.”Furthermore, she spoke fluently and has a lovely voice.Lucian glanced at his daughter with a surprised expression and asked, “What did she say?”Roxanne was taken aback by his question. She was too surprised by Estella speaking suddenly and could not remember what Estella said.Archie chimed in. “She said the beluga whale kissed her.”Next to Archie, Benny could not resist his curiosity and asked, “Isn’t Essie mute?”They had always thought Estella was mute. After all, they had never heard her speak since they first met her.Lucian frowned and answered, “When did I ever say that Essie was mute?”Archie and Benny exchanged glances.Roxanne asked in confusion, “Essie doesn’t speak. You also prepared a notepad so that she can write to communicate.”Lucian felt a little helpless as they mentioned this matter. “Estella was usually unwilling to speak because of autis

“Fiancée?” Kai shot back a question with a meaningful look. “Which fiancée are you talking about? During your absence, a lot of things have happened in Mr. Farwell’s life!” Shawn’s heart sank slightly when he heard that. “What do you mean? Isn’t Aubree Pearson his fiancée?”Kai laughed out loud when he heard that. “That was eight hundred years ago! Back then, I noticed that Lucian had been treating Aubree with indifference. I found it strange that the Farwell and Pearson families have managed to hold on to the engagement for many years.”Shawn did not respond. Instead, he continued to listen to his friend’s rambling.“The Farwell family called off the engagement two years ago. Lucian even implied that Aubree has a poor character. It turns out that his ex-wife is back in the country with two children. Right now, the Pearson family is being made bankrupt by the Farwell family, and Lucian is getting it on with his ex-wife again!”Kai was very animated when he was gossiping. It was as if

“I would say I’m pretty easy on the eyes. Getting to sleep with me isn’t that much of a loss for you.” He tucked a finger under her chin and lifted it so that she was looking right at him. “You truly are a delicacy. I hope you won’t forget me anytime soon.” As he spoke, his hand began to slide down Aubree’s neck, and he started to bend down until he was hovering right over her.She snapped back to her senses and pushed his hand away with a scowl on her face. “Get out! Don’t make me repeat myself!”The man chuckled amusedly at her angry look and actually began to walk out.Soon enough, Aubree was left alone in the hotel roomShe began to look around her, trying to recall what had happened last night.No matter how much she tried to make sense of her surroundings, she just couldn’t remember what happened.She had a*sumed that someone had been hired to a*sault her.However, that man didn’t look like someone who could be hired.

Cory’s face was clouded over with disdain. “Obviously, I’m taking a picture of my lovely ex-boss. Aubree was the one who made me who I am today. How can I possibly forgive her so easily?” As he spoke, an ominous aura radiated from him as if he were a devil from hell. There was an imminent chill in the air that seemed to come from his sheer hatred toward Aubree.Frieda couldn’t help but shudder at his demeanor.“Have you gone insane? The Pearson family is already in ruins. How are you still not satisfied yet?”Cory snickered. “I won’t be satisfied until she truly gets what she deserves. Besides, she did this to herself!”He narrowed his eyes and began scrutinizing the people in front of him.“You don’t have to play pretend around me, Ms. Queen. Don’t you want to shut her up for good too? In fact, you’re probably still getting threatened by her, right?”Frieda’s eyelids quivered as she forced herself to look away. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”She might have done her best t

Meanwhile, Ophelia stepped out of the kindergarten with a grim expression. Thank goodness I handled the matter fast enough! Who’d have thought Mr. Bauer would launch an investigation as soon as he returned? Gosh. I almost blew my cover! Then again, this must mean that little b*stard’s injury was pretty bad…With that thought in mind, Ophelia curled her lips into a smirk.That b*tch Roxanne has ruined my chances of a happy and comfortable life!

The abandoned Wife A Father's Comfort
Elias knitted his brows when he saw his wife acting in that way. “I don’t remember any conflicts between the two of you six years ago. Why are you so biased against her?” “Are you saying that I’m unreasonable?” Sonya snapped, turning around to glare at him.The resignation on Elias’ face deepened. “I’m only stating facts. Why are you taking this so personally?”“Then we’ll go to her place to check it out right now! We’ll see if the kid really is hurt! Didn’t she ask us to pick Essie up from her house? We’ll go right now!”Elias knew that she was only saying that because she was furious, so he just drove them back to the Farwell main residence.Sonya was even more irked when she realized where they were heading, and she kept grumbling on their way back.Elias pretended not to hear anything she said.He was already relenting much by accompanying her to pick Estella up from the kindergarten.As Farwell Group’s chairman, he simply could not do something ludicrous like kicking up a fuss i
