The abandoned Wife Unexpected Events
Meanwhile, Aubrce had returned to the Pearson residence with her parents,The three retained a grim expression all along their way back.Upon stepping foot into the house, Aubrce kicked off the heels on her feet.Gina had wanted to comfort lier, but before she could, the latter already strode upstairs with a sullen look on her face.What followed next was an ear-shattering door slam.Looks like she’s really mad.Upstairs, Aubree clenched her fists tightly after slamming the door shut. She was trembling in rage as the voices of the crowd at the dinner party rang in her ears.You’d think that her marriage with Mr. Farwell is finally happening given how arrogant she is, but who knew…Didn’t the Pearson family rely on the Farwell family to get to where they are today? Just look at Mr. Farwell; I’m sure the Pearsons will have a hard time in the future!Alas, it was all for nothing after waiting for that long. Hah! What a joke!Ever since Lucian took Roxanne with him and left in front of ev

Roxanne shook her head. “No. I just arrived at work. Is anything the matter? It’s been a long time since you called me.”Since her return to the country, the two had barely contacted each other. Most of the time, Roxanne would be the one calling him to report to him on the progress at the research institute. And because Harvey was usually busy with research, his replies were normally curt.This was the first time Harvey actually called her.“Indeed, there’s something I need your help with.” Harvey went straight to the point. “There’s a project that I need you to follow up with its research and development. I’ll forward you the details in a while. Take a look at it.”Having learned that it was about work matters, Roxanne agreed readily.The two had a brief chat about that project before she concernedly tried to find out about Harvey’s return. “When are you coming back? Let me pick you up.”Harvey looked at his schedule and replied, “Probably not that soon. I’ll let you know before I re

Roxanne jolted in alarm and froze in her movement but still instinctively looked in the direction of the passenger scat.After getting a good look at the person’s face, the scowl on her face deepened. “What are you doing. Mr. Farwell?”Devoid of expression, Lucian shut the car door. “Nothing. My car has broken down. And coincidentally, I happened to see you here. Please drive me back, Ms. Jarvis.”The chilling aura surrounding his body was almost palpable.Well aware how the atmosphere would only become tenser if she continued probing, Roxanne ultimately staried the engine without uttering another word.Throughout the ride, the car was dead silent.Lucian locked his deep gaze on the woman next to him, his brows tightly knitted together. She’s so close with that dude… And they even met up just now. The way they interacted carlier inade it sem like they are a couple…At this point, Lucian could no longer hold his curiosity back and broke the silence. “That guy… Is he Archie and Benny’s

Benny dashed toward the living room excitedly. “We were playing with the Lego bricks that Mr. Farwell gave us! It‘s really fun!”On the other hand, Archie and Estella stayed by Roxanne‘s side. She was holding hands with the children, with one at each side as she watched Benny with a smile on her face.Obviously, the Lego bricks that Lucian had given them met their expectations in terms of the design and level of difficulty, and they loved the gift.In just one night, the three children had already made a base.However, no matter how Roxanne looked at it, that Lego set seemed boyish to her.She looked at Estella with concern in her eyes. “Essie, do you like this toy?”Estella‘s eyes lit up as she nodded fervently.As long as I can play with Archie and Benny, I‘m fine with playing anything!Seeing that, Roxanne felt relieved. After taking a look at the time, she played with them for a while more since it was still early.Archie and Benny were used to playing Lego with her, so each of th

Estella gripped the corner of the desk sadly.“Didn‘t you promise Mommy this morning that you‘ll learn how to talk slowly?” Benny gazed at her. “If you can‘t talk, you can call our names.We‘ve been calling your name, Essie, but you‘ve never said our names!”Estella parted her lips but nothing came out of her mouth. She grew anxious and was about to burst into tears.Seeing that, Archie and Benny gave her the pencil instead of forcing her to talk.However, for the next few days, the two boys grew distant from her at home and at the kindergarten.Every time Estella came to them, Benny would huff angrily, “We treated you well, but you wouldn‘t even call our names! We‘re going to ignore you!”Estella was devastated.For the next few days, Esiella played with Roxanne at home but had no playmates at the kindergarten.She could only watch as Archie and Benny played with the other children and ignored her entirely. Finally, she plucked up her courage to run to them.The boys shared a look an

Gina frowned. “Did Lucian go to her again?”Aubree plopped into the seat next to them furiously. “Duh! Everyone‘s saying that he‘s going to marry Roxanne. I‘m just a gold–digger who clings to him shamelessly. He doesn‘t even want me even if I offer him everything!”Gina and Samuel shared a look,They had heard this rumor, too. However, just like Aubree, they assumed the rumor would be scotched once Lucian agreed to the wedding.Alas, things weren‘t going their way.Gina patted Aubree‘s back in a comforting manner. “No matter what, we‘ll get his explanation soon. Calm down.” |“You‘re asking me to calm down? If we wait any longer, that b*tch will marry him soon!” Aubree declared as a crazed look appeared on her face.Despite her fury, Gina remained calm. “What Lucian wants may not be what the Farwells want. Didn‘t you see how his mother held a prejudice toward that woman previously?” she reminded Aubree.Aubree calmed down slightly. “Are you saying that…”“Let‘s pay the Farwell residen

Lucian stiffened momentarily before regaining his composure to nod. His face was devoid of expression as he said, “Got it. You may leave now.”Cayden nodded. Realizing that Lucian was in a foul mood, he walked out of the office and shut the door quietly.Inside his office, Lucian strode over to the window and stared out, feeling conflicted.For the past six years, his parents kept reminding him to get married to Aubree, but he would always brush them off.Thus, he assumed they understood his intentions.Alas, they ended up going against his wishes and announced the engagement to the outside world after urging him for six whole years.A long while later, he took out his phone to call his father.The call connected quickly.“What is it, Lucian?” Elias didn’t head to work today and was currently enjoying breakfast. After answering his son’s call, he cast Sonya, who was sitting across from him, a look.Sonya knew why her son had called. She took the phone from Elias.Elias allowed her to

“Why are you here?”The person mentioned in the news was standing at her door. He was dressed in a thin shirt, and his hair was slightly messy.After their previous fight, she knew Lucian would often come to visit.However, he was tactful enough to not show himself before her.This was the first time they met in person after the fight.After hearing the news earlier, Roxanne had no idea how she should face him.As the newscaster’s sound could be heard faintly, Lucian knew Roxanne should’ve heard about his engagement. He studied her carefully but realized she seemed calm.Shortly after, he broke the silence. “I’m here to pay Essie a visit. How is she doing?”Roxanne stepped aside to allow him entry. “She’s upstairs. I need to talk to you about her.”They entered the living room one after another. Roxanne gestured for him to take a seat on the couch while she occupied a single couch aside.Catalina served them coffee and left after realizing they had something to discuss.“What is it?”

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
The abandoned Wife Beneath the Surface
Roxanne’s heart was lodged in her throat as she made her way to the hospital. She floored the accelerator, on the verge of breaking the speed limit. Archie and Benny might be independent since young, but it was the first time one of them had gotten hurt.Roxanne felt a surge of anxiety wash over her.Upon arrival, Roxanne parked her car hastily and strode into the hospital.Pippa was considerate enough to text her the ward number after Benny was admitted to the hospital.Thus, Roxanne found them without any difficulty.“Mommy!”Archie firmly grasped her hand, squeezing it with such force that it caused her pain.Estella also clutched at the corner of her shirt.Roxanne patted their heads comfortingly before turning to Pippa. “Ms. Ward, what happened?”Pippa answered apologetically, “We’re not sure yet. The doctor at the infirmary said it might be a bruised cartilage. Benny is taking an X-ray inside.”Roxanne felt a stab of pain in her heart after she heard the news.“Ms. Jarvis, we’r

The next game was hopping on one foot. The kids filed to the equipment room to change into their sneakers. After changing into his shoes, Benny felt slightly uncomfortable. He a*sumed that it was probably because he had not worn these types of shoes in quite some time and wasn’t used to the fit. Nonetheless, he didn’t give it too much thought and kept going.Archie and Estella were urging him to hurry up, so he pushed aside the thought of his uncomfortable shoes and hurried over to them, beaming happily.This was an individual game, and Benny’s turn wasn’t until later.After Archie and Estella finished their turns, they stood aside to watch Benny play.“Remember to be careful. Safety comes first,” Pippa told them repeatedly.Ophelia stood aside and acted like she was ready to spring into action and protect the children at any moment.The three children had done a good job in the previous games, so when it was Benny’s turn, their friends cheered him on and watched him expectantly.Ben
The abandoned Wife Misguided Intentions
Upon seeing that Roxanne was still in a daze, Lucian couldn’t resist lifting his hand and caressing her face. “You…”Roxanne was stupefied for several seconds before she belatedly snapped back to her senses. Mild embarra*sment showed in her eyes.While the man had sneaked up on her countless times when they were in Miralaea, she could more or less postulate the reason after the fact.But this time, I didn’t do anything. Why did he simply kiss me?Innocence was written all over Lucian’s face. “Sorry, I lost control.”At that answer, Roxanne’s eyes went wide in fury. However, she couldn’t really censure him either. All she could do was turn around as though nothing had happened and put the washed tableware aside.The two of them spent some time doing the dishes. When they exited the kitchen, Archie, Benny, and Estella pestered Lucian to play with them for a while.Only when it was rather late did Lucian drive home.Needless to say, Roxanne saw him off with the three children.When they
The abandoned Wife Unexpected Visit
Lucian didn’t expect his father to be in such a hurry to go and pick Estella up. After hanging up the phone, he glanced at the time. Seeing that it was still relatively early, he wanted to phone Roxanne to inform her about the situation. But on second thought, he snagged his jacket and went downstairs.Downstairs, Catalina had just prepared dinner. When she saw her employer coming down, she hollered, “The food is ready, Mr. Farwell.”Lucian halted in his steps for a fleeting second. “Go on and eat. I’m not having dinner at home.”Having said that, he left in huge strides without waiting for a response from her.Catalina stared at the man’s back, bewildered for a moment. In the next heartbeat, understanding dawned upon her.Aha! Who else could induce such an expression on Mr. Farwell’s face? He must be on his way out to visit Ms. Jarvis once more. Thus, he’s also likely having dinner there!Roxanne had just finished cooking dinner and led the three children to the dining table. They h
The abandoned Wife Matrimonial Tensions
Elias frowned, and when he spoke, his voice was tinged with a hint of exasperation. “I’ve long since told you to let Lucian make the decisions himself when it comes to his marriage. Everyone is free to live their own lives. Why must we meddle so much?”Disapproval was written all over Sonya’s face. “How could I possibly allow that? Is Lucian’s marriage his business alone? Never mind if he wants to marry some other woman, but why must it be that woman?”Why must it be Roxanne? Worse still, she comes with two little bastards!Seeing that she was still dissatisfied with Roxanne, Elias patiently cajoled, “No matter who he wants to be with, that’s his business. He matured into an adult ages ago. We can’t interfere in everything.”But still, Sonya remained obstinate and griped, “If he had finalized his marriage with Aubree earlier, all this wouldn’t have happened.”After saying that, she shot the man beside her a chagrined look. “You’re no better. It’s because you allowed him free rein in
The abandoned Wife Family Fractures
Roxanne’s life was soon back on the right track while Lucian’s was still in chaos. Lucian considered going to Roxanne’s place in the evening after handling all the accumulated work in Farwell Group. However, he received a phone call from his mother, who asked him to return home as soon as possible.Lucian furrowed his brows at his mother’s annoyed tone. Nevertheless, he still drove back to the manor.As soon as he stepped into the house, he was greeted by the sight of Sonya sitting on the couch.“Why are you here?” he questioned with a frown.Sonya turned to look at him and said unhappily, “If I hadn’t come here, I wouldn’t even know you were back!”He had not mentioned to anyone about him going overseas with Roxanne.Sonya had come over every day to ask her son for an explanation but always ended up empty-handed.When she called him and mentioned Roxanne and the kids, he would always give a half-hearted response before hanging up.Hence, Sonya had nowhere to vent her anger.Since th
The abandoned Wife Crossroads of Trust
Roxanne was moved by his words but remained hesitant. “Perhaps, but I lack enough knowledge of cancer to support the research on an anti-cancer medicine.” Over the past few years, she had been more focused on researching how to treat patients through acupuncture. She simply didn’t know enough about medicinal herbs to be confident in developing an anti-cancer medicine.Sensing her worries, Jack said, “I won’t lie. Only a few medical books kept in the Damaris residence touch on this research. However, the reason the research in those books was halted was due to technical issues at the time. It was also these books that inspired me.”Roxanne’s eyes glinted upon hearing that. If I can take a look at those books, perhaps I’ll get some inspiration, too. Then again, those books are properties of the Damaris family. I don’t know if he’s willing to lend them to an outsider.“The books about traditional medicine I lent you in the past were a part of that collection. If you’re interested, I can
The abandoned Wife Shadows of Collaboration
While the reporters’ photos depicted a woman standing at the helicopter door, Jack knew Lucian was behind it. He thought the matter had ended when the celebrity scandals dominated the public consciousness that afternoon. Thus, the next day, he planned to meet up with Roxanne by using the project as an excuse.To his surprise, her a*sistant told him she wasn’t in the research institute.In fact, he received the same answer over the next few days.By then, no matter how stupid Jack was, he could still realize what was happening.He knew Roxanne had left with Lucian, so he wondered how long it would take them to return.To his surprise, it was a whole week, and that enraged him.Jack was still upset as he spoke. “Even though the development of our project was about to begin, the person in charge of the research institute was nowhere to be found. What do you think I should say about that, Ms. Jarvis?”When he brought up the project, Roxanne felt guilty and apologized further. “I’m really
