The abandoned Wife Collaborative Ressolve
However, Jonathan had been harboring a thought ever since he learned that Roxanne was Lucian’s ex-wife who had left without a word, and he could not help but ask it at that moment. “What relationship does Dr. Jarvis have with Essie? I’ve never seen Essie so reliant on anyone.”Even though Jonathan did not say it out loud, Lucian could guess what Jonathan was trying to ask. Hence, he mildly replied, “Essie’s her daughter.”Jonathan had long guessed that, but hearing it from Lucian was another matter. It took Jonathan a while to come back to his senses after hearing Lucian’s response.The time Roxanne left and Estella’s age, along with how close Estella was with Roxanne, made Jonathan suspect that Estella was Roxanne’s daughter.However, it seemed Roxanne treated Estella like any ordinary child whenever they interacted, so Jonathan dared not jump to any conclusions about that.Thus, he was perplexed to hear Lucian’s confession.So Dr. Jarvis doesn’t know about this? She gave birth to t

Jonathan could see that Roxanne was worried, and he could decipher what she was worried about, so he rephrased his words. “Queen Group won’t have a falling out with Farwell Group because of something trivial as this, and I won’t risk Queen Group either. Naturally, I’ve made all the preparations before coming here to talk about this with you.” The hesitance on Roxanne’s face slowly faded away as she stared at his confident expression. However, she still could not stop herself from asking, “But why are you helping me out? Is it just because I cured Old Mr. Queen’s illness?”When Jonathan thought about his conversation with Lucian the night before, the thoughts he had whilst he looked into Roxanne’s eyes changed.However, Roxanne only felt strange as she stared back at him.Half a beat later, Jonathan slowly stated, “My grandpa had been bedbound for years, and it’s all thanks to you, Dr. Jarvis, that he can recover to this point. Moreover, you’ve said before that my grandpa was already

Ignoring their responses, Roxanne proceeded to sit down in front of Jonathan.When Jonathan saw that Lucian was still standing there, he stated quickly, “Lucian, since Dr. Jarvis doesn’t mind, join us. Recently, Dr. Jarvis’ research institute has encountered some problems. You may be able to help her!”Lucian merely frowned before sitting down.Since Roxanne did not run away upon seeing him, he decided to stay on as well.However, Roxanne acted as if Lucian was not there after inviting him to join them. When the dishes were served, she raised her gla*s and remarked, “Thank you for helping me out with the herb suppliers, Mr. Queen.”Jonathan did not make a big deal out of it. Clinking gla*ses with her, he responded, “You’re most welcome, Dr. Jarvis. I’m not the only one who has helped you with regard to this issue.”Upon hearing that, Roxanne frowned, as she did not understand what he meant.Jonathan was about to say more when someone glared at him.Sensing Lucian’s stare, Jonathan act

At the mention of Estella’s condition, Roxanne’s heart clenched. Yet, she couldn’t show it in front of Lucian.Just when she was determined to feign indifference, Jonathan abruptly turned the subject to her. “I remember Essie liked you a lot back when you came to treat my grandfather, Dr. Jarvis. I wonder if her condition will improve if she spends more time with you.”After saying that, he nonchalantly added, “It was the first time I have ever seen her showing such favor for someone else that I was shocked then.”Roxanne’s hand tightened around the fork in her hand. She didn’t know how to tell him that she was the reason for Estella’s aggravated condition.At the side, Lucian agreed with Jonathan and stared at her with a grim look in his eyes.In the past, she’d relent as long as I brought up Essie before her. But this time, it’s painfully clear that she has already hardened her heart to it all.Silence reigned at the dining table, and Roxanne could distinctly sense the two men’s gaz

“Mr. Farwell?”When Cayden saw his employer walking over with Roxanne, he subconsciously presumed that the latter would be getting into their car. Unexpectedly, he saw her getting into the car with Jonathan while Lucian stood outside.After a moment, he decided to call out to the man cautiously.His brows furrowing slightly, Lucian bent down and climbed into the car.Cayden slowly started the car and drove out of the parking lot.Meanwhile, in the adjacent car, Jonathan asked Roxanne for her address and ordered the driver to drop her home first.In response, the driver murmured an acknowledgment.He moved to start the car, but it simply wouldn’t start.It still didn’t work after multiple tries. “The car seems to have broken down, Mr. Queen,” the driver reported helplessly.Upon hearing that, Jonathan imperceptibly swept his gaze over Roxanne beside him. He wore a grim expression. “It was just fine when we came over. Why did it suddenly break down?”A conflicted expression manifested o

Dead silence reigned in the car. One could sense that the atmosphere was entirely different from when Jonathan was present earlier, giving off a sense of an impending storm.Roxanne was sitting straight, her gaze trained right ahead. She tried her best to ignore the man beside her.She wasn’t sure whether she was imagining things, but his piercing gaze seemingly locked on her since Jonathan alighted from the car. It had her tensing up subconsciously.All of a sudden, Lucian’s voice rang out beside her.“Have I offended you in any way, Ms. Jarvis?”Relief suffused Roxanne when she heard his voice. She flashed him a detached smile. “Why would you say that, Mr. Farwell?”Lucian eyed her with a dark look, his voice threaded with displeasure. “If that’s not the case, why are you avoiding me thus, Ms. Jarvis?”Frowning slightly, Roxanne feigned ignorance. “When have I avoided you, Mr. Farwell? Precisely speaking, I don’t have much of a chance to meet you since our work doesn’t intersect.”I

Roxanne made every effort to calm herself down. She met Lucian’s gaze calmly and stated gently, “With you acting in such a manner now, Lucian, I’ll only find you even more of a stranger.”As far as she remembered, he had always been calm and unruffled. In fact, he was rather apathetic.At least, that was his personality six years ago.At present, he had become unfathomable to her.Perhaps that comment of hers worked, for she sensed the grip on her chin seemingly relaxing gradually.She held her breath.A while later, Lucian withdrew his hand and sat back in his seat. He gazed at her with a complex look in his eyes. “What exactly do you want?”That question rang out before Roxanne could breathe a sigh of relief. At once, bewilderment swamped her.It should be me asking him that. I’ve already made my stance clear as day. What exactly does he want?“Never mind that you’re avoiding me, but you’re not even visiting Essie anymore. Are you really this callous, Roxanne?” Lucian pinned a sharp

It was already late in the night when Lucian returned to the Farwell residence.Estella had already fallen asleep a long while ago.Lucian’s heart ached when he was reminded of how Roxanne had completely avoided mentioning Estella just now. He went upstairs to Estella’s room.The little girl had a serene sleeping posture. She lay on her side with half her face covered with blanket, seemingly sound asleep.Lucian’s gaze softened at the sight of his daughter. He lifted his arm and patted her head. Then, he tucked her in before getting up and left.Just when he reached the door, he suddenly heard a sound behind him as if Estella was sobbing.He stopped abruptly in his tracks, turned on his heels, and returned to her bedside. Lucian gently pulled away the blanket covering Estella’s face and saw her brows furrowed, eyes shut, and beads of tears staining her long eyelashes.He wondered what kind of nightmare she was experiencing.Lucian felt sorrowful when he saw her daughter in that state.

The abandoned Wife Schemes Unraveled
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
The abandoned Wife Unraveling Schemes
Due to Benny’s injury, the three kids didn’t attend their cla*ses at the kindergarten for the time being. As a result, Ophelia didn’t have the chance to make her move.Aubree repeatedly received disappointing updates from Ophelia when she contacted the latter on multiple occasions.Exasperated, Aubree invited Ophelia out once more.“Aubree, there’s nothing I can do either. Who would’ve expected that b*tch to stop the other two kids from attending school after that little b*stard got hurt!” Ophelia uttered helplessly.She thought she could still target Archie and Estella while Benny recuperated at home due to his injury.To her surprise, she received news that all three children had applied for leave the following day.Aubree clenched her fists. Hatred filled her eyes as she spoke. “That b*tch!”The two women grimaced, stumped at the development.While vexed, Ophelia carefully observed the changes in Aubree’s countenance, fearing the latter might get sick and tired of her.After a lon
The abandoned Wife Healing Wounds
Because of Benny’s injury, Roxanne took a leave of absence for all three of her children and stayed at home to take care of Benny for the time being. Fortunately, the ointment she had developed was very effective, and when she applied it to Benny, his wound healed up rather quickly.In the past two days, Lucian would often come to visit the kids.While Roxanne was busy taking care of Benny, she was also worrying about the projects at the research institute.In the end, she found out that, except for the project with the Damaris family, all the other projects were progressing smoothly.Due to the previous incident, the project with the Damaris family had to be handled by Roxanne and Roxanne only. As such, the project was stalled the moment she left.Since she was preoccupied with taking care of Benny, it took Roxanne a few days to realize that she had forgotten to give Jack a heads-up on the situation.Just when she was about to make a call to Jack to apologize, the man himself called
The abandoned Wife Dark Alliances
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! She deserves this little payback from me. Ha!Naturally, Ophelia needed to inform Aubree about the incident, so she quickly got into her car and dialed the latter’s number.Fortunately, the call got through after just a few rings.“How did it go? Did you succeed?” Aubree asked urgently.Argh. Life has been incredibly tough on me lately. I need some good news to cheer me up!“I greased the shoes of that Benny boy, and he fell really hard!” Ophelia said with a smug chortle. “Mr. Bauer even made a big fuss out of it when he returned, so I’m sure t
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
