The abandoned Wife Unraveling Connections: The Farwell Conundrum
Since it was already late when she stepped out of the hospital, Sonya headed back to the Farwell residence in spite of her anger. I must demand an explanation from Roxanne over what happened and also give her a stern warning. As for what to say, I’ll have to give it proper thought first.That night, Sonya didn’t sleep a wink, for her mind was entirely occupied by the matter.The next morning, Sonya had a simple breakfast before getting the driver to send her to Roxanne’s house.Meanwhile, Roxanne was having breakfast with the children.Benny, who was feeling much better after taking his medication, was enjoying his breakfast very much.When she saw how he had returned to his energetic self, Roxanne sighed to herself in relief.Just when she planned to take them to the research institute after breakfast, an unexpected guest arrived.Amidst the children having breakfast, Roxanne got up to get the door upon hearing the doorbell ring.At the sight of the visitor, Roxanne’s heart sank.

Naturally, Sonya, too, heard their exchange. Nevertheless, she, having long decided to have her son marry Aubree, had warned Roxanne off and wasn’t worried that the latter would disobey.As a result, she couldn’t care less about their interaction and continued to sip her coffee elegantly.When Sonya heard Roxanne’s leaving footsteps, a contemptuous smile descended upon her face.Disgraceful women can always be easily frightened away. Furthermore, there’s no way I’m going to allow such a woman to marry into the Farwell family.“Have a seat.” Sonya finally turned around to give Lucian a look as she invited him to sit.The frowning Lucian, whose eyes were burning with suppressed anger, strode up to his mother and sat down.The cup of untouched coffee in front of him was ordered by Roxanne earlier.Playing back in his mind the words she said to his mother a while ago, Lucian deepened his frown.“Waiter, please get us another cup of what I’m having.” Sonya raised her hand at the waiter. “

In other words, Lucian would not tie the knot with Aubree. Sonya could not help but ma*sage her temples while shooting daggers at her son. “Did you come here this early in the morning just to upset me?”Lucian remained unperturbed. “I can send you to the hospital if you’re feeling unwell, but there’s no way you can force me to marry Aubree.”Both mother and son kept mum for some time.Sonya waved her hand and gestured for him to leave. “Go. Get out of my sight.”Lucian nodded. Before leaving, he said, “I’ve stationed a few men by the door. Call them if you need their help.”Before Sonya could react, Lucian had left the café.“Heading back to the office now, Mr. Farwell?” the driver asked with respect when Lucian got into the car.Lucian knitted his brows. Roxanne’s house flashed across his mind. I wonder how she’s doing now. Did she mean what she said just now?Lucian went deep in thought but eventually snapped out of it. He replied to the driver, “Back to the office.”The car starte

Pippa heard Estella’s sobs as soon as she entered the cla*sroom. She quickly looked over, only to see the little girl crying her heart out with a tearful face. “What’s wrong, Essie?” Pippa hurried to the little girl’s side.Estella simply continued crying without saying a word.Beside her, Yoel obediently stood up and explained the situation to Pippa, “Ms. Ward, when cla*s was over, I wanted to invite Estella to play, but I seemed to have scared her.”Soon, someone could not stand it and spoke up for Yoel. “It was Estella who hit Yoel first, but she ended up crying herself.”Pippa listened to the children’s words, and understanding dawned upon her.Having been Estella’s teacher for such a long time, she naturally was aware of the girl’s condition. Moreover, she had also noticed Estella’s gloomy mood for the past two days.It should be as Yoel said. He scared Essie, so she hit him.At that thought, Pippa looked at Yoel with concern. “Where did Estella hit you? Are you okay? Let me hav

After asking a few more questions out of concern, Pippa checked the time and appeared troubled. Although she agreed to excuse Estella from school, she did not take any leave, and it was not good to stay outside for too long.“Since you’ve visited Archie and Benny, Essie, let’s go back,” Pippa asked the little girl for her opinion.However, Estella stared at Roxanne and the boys, pursed her lips, and shook her head.Seeing Estella’s reaction, Pippa knew it would not be easy for her to take the little girl back that day. Not knowing what to do, she could only shoot Roxanne a beseeching look.Roxanne smiled at her. “Let Essie stay. I’ll send her home later. You can go off first.”Hearing those words, Pippa sighed with relief and got up to say goodbye.Roxanne and the children saw Pippa out before returning to the living room.Estella clutched the woman’s hand tightly the entire time and did not want to let go even though her hand was sweating.Although Roxanne’s heart softened at the si

Roxanne felt even more conflicted when she heard the tiny, adorable voice in her ear.Roxanne felt even more conflicted when she heard the tiny, adorable voice in her ear. I knew it. I knew Essie was highly empathic and would’ve realized I was distancing myself from Lucian. That’s why she had visited me the last couple of times without letting him know. Am I truly that important to her?Upon seeing how pitiful Estella was, Archie and Benny couldn’t help but put in a good word for her.“Mommy, since Essie came alone, why don’t you let her play with us for a bit more?” Benny pleaded as he tugged at Roxanne’s sleeve.“Mommy, Mr. Farwell wouldn’t come looking for her so soon,” Archie chimed in. “Let Essie stay here a little longer!”Roxanne stayed silent for quite some time, not knowing what to say.Estella, on the other hand, buried herself in Roxanne’s embrace. Afraid that the latter might reject her, she kept her gaze lowered, not daring to make eye contact.Roxanne glanced at her boy

In Roxanne’s embrace, Estella was crying her lungs out when she tightened her grip on Roxanne’s shirt and uttered, “I want you, Ms. Jarvis. I want you to be my mommy!”In Roxanne’s embrace, Estella was crying her lungs out when she tightened her grip on Roxanne’s shirt and uttered, “I want you, Ms. Jarvis. I want you to be my mommy!” Roxanne was stunned.Estella then added, “You’re the best, Ms. Jarvis. Daddy likes you too…”It was then Roxanne returned to her senses and scoffed at herself. Why would Essie come to such a conclusion? Perhaps she thinks when two people interact with each other more often, they’re into each other. I think that’s why she likes Benny and Archie. No matter how I explain the situation to her, I bet she’ll never understand it. She would definitely refuse to acknowledge the fact that Lucian likes Aubree.With that thought in mind, Roxanne couldn’t help but feel a headache coming.A while later, she reached out her hand to wipe the tears off Estella’s face and

Estella merely kept quiet after hearing her answer.Estella merely kept quiet after hearing her answer. Roxanne opened the car door and carried Estella out of the car before leading her toward the manor by her hand.Roxanne then let go of her hand to let Estella enter the manor. Right then, Estella raised her gaze and looked at Roxanne solemnly.When their gazes met, Roxanne’s heart softened. She squatted down and looked into Estella’s eyes. “Is there something you would like to tell me, Essie?”I wonder why Ms. Jarvis hates Daddy so much that she would chase Daddy away every time she sees him. However, I can tell that Daddy has good intentions for Ms. Jarvis. Since Daddy likes Ms. Jarvis, I hope Ms. Jarvis would stop hating Daddy. Estella nodded slightly and uttered in a cute tone, “Ms. Jarvis, don’t hate Daddy.”Thinking that she could be seeing Estella for the last time, Roxanne nodded.Estella gave Roxanne a hug with a heavy heart before going into the manor.Roxanne didn’t dare

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

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
