The abandoned Wife A Journey of Reflection and Reconnection
“When did you buy it?” questioned Roxanne with a slightly tense tone and trembling eyelashes. We didn’t leave each other when we were in the mall, and I didn’t see him buy a gift. Lucian knitted his eyebrow and answered in a resigned tone, “When I brought my bags here earlier. I didn’t expect you to get lost when I was delayed for a few minutes.”His lips curled into a wry smile when he recalled the rare dazed look on her face from earlier.When he brought that up, she blushed and reflexively avoided his stare, inadvertently shifting her line of sight to the box on the seat.Lucian coaxed, “Get in the car. It’s getting late. If we don’t set off now, it’ll be night by the time we return home.”Nodding hesitantly, Roxanne stepped into the seat.He entered the driver’s seat and drove off.Meanwhile, she put the white box on her knees instead of opening them.He didn’t urge her either.After they left the parking lot, he asked, “Do you want to visit the nursing home first, or should we h

While the boys were enjoying themselves, they were moving pretty slowly. Thus, after Roxanne watched them for a while, she also helped out.Soon, everything in the vehicle was carried into the mansion.Meanwhile, Estella climbed into the car to a*sist the boys. When she left, she spotted the white box on the pa*senger seat.Intrigued, she brought the box out of the car and asked, “What’s this, Mommy?”Everyone turned to the girl when they heard that.Upon eyeing the box, Roxanne subconsciously glanced at Lucian.He just stood at the side nonchalantly as though that box had nothing to do with him.Since the adults didn’t tell Estella she couldn’t touch it, and she didn’t receive a reply from Roxanne, she opened it out of curiosity.It was then Roxanne saw what was inside in the box.“It’s so pretty!” Estella stood on her toes and lifted her hand to let her mother see the object taken from the box. “Is this Daddy’s gift for you, Mommy?”In response, Roxanne lowered her eyes and saw a p

Before they knew it, darkness took over the sky. After acting as a driver and mover for the day and giving Roxanne a gift, Lucian naturally stayed back for dinner.Once they had their fill, he played with the children for a while before taking his leave.“It’s getting late, so I’ll be going home now. Essie—”Before he could even finish, Essie declined, “I want to stay with Mommy!”Lucian threw her a glance before continuing, “I’ll leave Essie with you for the next two days. Tell me if you can’t manage, and I’ll come and pick the children up.”Archie and Benny’s eyes lit up when they heard Lucian’s words.Given how smart they were, they caught the most important part of his sentence—he considered them his children.Even though they couldn’t address him as “Daddy” yet, he had already seen them as his own.Both of them were ecstatic when the fact dawned upon them.As for Estella, she was filled with delight upon receiving permission to stay with her mother.Stroking Estella’s face gentl

That night, Jonathan could barely sleep after receiving a message from Lucian. At daybreak the next morning, Jonathan strode into the Farwell residence.“Mr. Queen,” Catalina greeted him upon his arrival.Jonathan nodded in acknowledgment. “Where’s Lucian?”“He went up to his study after breakfast.”Jonathan then ended his conversation with Catalina and headed up.There was no way he could rest until he clarified with Lucian what the message from the night before meant.Just as he was about to knock, the door opened from the inside.“What are you doing here?”Lucian gave his guest a placid look before inviting him into the study.Jonathan almost choked on himself.Why is he even asking me that? I obviously want to know what he is trying to convey with the message last night. It’s one thing for me to do his bidding all the time, but what’s with throwing a hot potato in my direction out of nowhere? Because of him, I hardly slept a wink!“Lucian, aren’t you being unreasonable?”The exas

Aubree’s desperation was shared by Samuel, who had been bustling around for several days. Sonya’s promise gave him hope, and he thought she would really succeed in convincing Lucian to spare the Pearson family this once.Little did he expect that not only did Farwell Group’s oppression of the Pearson Group persist, but it even intensified. In fact, it was so bad that the Pearson family was on the verge of bankruptcy.His hard work in the past few days ended up in vain, resulting in his relatives knocking on his door and questioning him about it one after another.In just a few days, most of his hair had turned gray.At that very moment, Samuel was sitting at the desk in the study with a grim expression on his face. In front of him were a few staff members from the bank.At the same time, a handful of a*set transfer agreements were clearly laid out on the desk.After the bank’s staff member had reviewed one of the documents, he slid it over to Samuel. “Please sign here, Mr. Pearson.”

For the first time in her life, panic swamped Aubree. She turned to her mother for confirmation. “Was Dad telling me the truth earlier, Mom? We’re really moving out?”Gina was likewise exceedingly reluctant to move out. Unfortunately, she had no other choice but to face reality. She nodded with a grim expression on her face. “Yeah. Very soon, we won’t be able to live here anymore.”After saying that, she urged earnestly, “Listen to your father, Aubree. Don’t do anything foolish again. Now that the Pearson family has ended up in such straits, we wouldn’t be able to help you even if we wanted to do so if something were to happen to you!”In the past, others might give the Pearson family some respect because of the Farwell family.At present, however, things had soured between the Farwell and Pearson families. In fact, the Farwell family went just short of announcing that they were the ones who brought the Pearson family down.Therefore, no one would care about the Pearson family anymor

After leaving the Queen residence, Frieda drove to the Pearson residence immediately. She saw the movers’ vehicles outside the Pearson residence when she was walking toward the entrance.Even though she knew that the Pearson family was in a difficult situation and targeted by many parties, she didn’t realize it was to this extent.When she recalled Aubree’s tone in the phone call earlier, realization dawned upon her.No wonder Aubree didn’t contact me these few days but suddenly called me today. She’s desperate.Upon realizing that, Frieda was overwhelmed with emotions.If she went up now, it wouldn’t end up well for her as Aubree would only vent her anger on her.Back then, the Pearson family rose to prominence with the Farwell family’s a*sistance.No one would have been able to predict that the family would fall from grace now!If this fate befalls the Queen family…Frieda couldn’t help but shiver upon that thought.No! I can’t be in cahoots with Aubree anymore! Who knows what she

With that, the two women were considered to have completely fallen out with each other. When Frieda stepped out of the Pearson residence, the smile on her face instantly vanished as a wave of regret and fury washed over her.If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have gotten close to Aubree! Her family is now destitute, yet she refuses to let me go!Her expression remained grim throughout the journey back to the Queen residence.Worried about Frieda, Jonathan had been waiting for her in the living room.His heart sank when he noticed the expression on her face as she entered the living room. “What happened? Did you and Aubree have a fight?”If I’m not mistaken, Aubree and Frieda have always been on good terms with each other. Since Frieda went over to check on Aubree, they shouldn’t have fought. Or could my suspicion be right? Are they hiding something from me?That thought weighed heavily on his heart, and he fixed Frieda with a penetrating gaze.Frieda’s long-suppressed rage final

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 abandoned Wife Beneath the Surface
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
