The abandoned Wife An Unexpected Adventure: A Day at the Amusement Park
Soon, the weekend arrived. Roxanne was woken up by the sound of the kids knocking at her door. The moment she opened the door, she saw the three little ones all dressed up and looking at her excitedly.As Roxanne was still half asleep, she could not remember their plan for the day and was puzzled as to what was going on.“Mommy, we are going to the amusement park today!” Benny reminded in his childish voice, noticing that his mother was in a daze.Only then did Roxanne finally snap out of her trance. Feeling slightly frustrated with herself, she asked, “What time is it now?”Benny looked at his smartwatch and answered, “It’s already seven in the morning. Mr. Farwell told us that he will be reaching soon!”When Roxanne heard that, she looked down at her nightgown, and with a look of exasperation on her face, she instructed Archie and Benny, “I’m going to wash up now. Can the two of you prepare breakfast?”The boys smiled at their mother and replied, “Mr. Farwell is taking us out for b

“If you’re reluctant to do it, I’ll help you explain it to the kids,” Roxanne said worriedly. They were stuck in a crowd, and she could see that Lucian was uncomfortable.Lucian turned to look at the three children waiting for them close by, and his gaze softened. “It’s all right. As long as they like it.”His gaze then shifted toward Roxanne. “As for you, remember to hold tight onto me if you get scared later.”Roxanne was startled when her eyes met with his mischievous ones. She lowered her head as mixed feelings surged within her heart.Throughout the years, she had brought Archie and Benny to an amusement park many times.The two children had mentioned wanting to go on a roller coaster countless times but were never able to.Before that day, they had never mentioned wanting her to represent them to go on the roller coaster either.Perhaps they thought that I would be afraid.It was not until today, with Lucian’s appearance, that they dared to ask her such a request. They had look

Lucian returned from buying some water to see the children laughing and surrounding a smiling Roxanne. Lucian’s expression softened at the scene.The children happily waved their hands to beckon Lucian over when they saw him return.Lucian hurried toward them and handed the drinks he had just bought to each of them as he listened to Roxanne and the children talk.“Were you scared just now?” Roxanne suddenly turned to look at him and asked.The children’s gazes also fell onto him.Lucian shrugged and raised his eyebrows. “I went parachuting before. That was scarier than the roller coaster.”Surprise flashed across Roxanne’s eyes upon hearing that.With Lucian’s personality, I thought he would never do something thrilling like that.Archie’s and Benny’s eyes lit up in excitement as they enthusiastically grabbed onto the hem of Lucian’s shirt. “Mr. Farwell, bring us along the next time you go!”Lucian lowered his gaze and smiled at Archie and Benny. He agreed without any hesitation, “Al

They got in the car after walking out of the restaurant. Lucian sat idly in the car for some time without starting the engine. Roxanne gave him a puzzled look.The moment she raised her head to look at him, she made eye contact with him.Roxanne was momentarily stunned. For some strange reason, she felt slightly nervous.After a moment, disappointment showed on Lucian’s face. “If only it’s pouring rain right now.”His words took Roxanne by surprise.The children looked at Lucian curiously. “But we won’t be able to go home if there’s a rainstorm!”Lucian smiled in response. He didn’t say anything else and started the car.The kids were still perplexed because their father didn’t give them a response.Roxanne, on the other hand, immediately understood Lucian’s intentions after the children mentioned this.In other words, he was telling her that he didn’t want to go home that night.Her face flushed crimson, and she didn’t dare to look at him. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back now. The

Roxanne felt a strange sense of familiarity upon hearing Sonya’s words. She found Sonya’s actions hilarious when she suddenly thought about how similar the latter’s words sounded to those TV dramas and novels.Unaware of it, Sonya continued, “Six years ago, you were the one who decided to leave Lucian. No one forced you to do so. Do you think the Farwell residence is somewhere you can come and go as you please?”Roxanne tried to suppress her emotions and thoughts when Sonya brought up what had happened six years ago. “You’ve got the wrong idea. It’s not something I can decide on my own, whether it was my leaving six years ago or how far I have progressed with Lucian now.”Sonya didn’t expect Roxanne’s retort, and she grew displeased.Roxanne continued to state matter-of-factly, “Even though you guys were aware of Lucian’s feelings for Aubree six years ago, you forced me to stand in the way of their relationship because your family needed a joyous event to bring Lucian’s grandfather g
Last Updated : 2025-04-08The abandoned Wife Unexpected Arrangements at the Kindergarten Gate
Archie and Benny got up really early on Monday morning. They had already prepared warm milk and sandwiches by the time Roxanne made her way down the stairs.She chuckled in amusement when she saw how excited they were.“Hurry up and eat your breakfast, Mommy! You need to send us to the kindergarten soon!” Benny said while handing her the gla*s of warm milk.Roxanne nodded with a smile and joined them for breakfast before getting into the car with them.Archie and Benny had been somewhat depressed since Estella transferred to another kindergarten.Now that Estella had returned, Archie and Benny were excited about attending cla*ses again.Upon arriving at the kindergarten, Roxanne saw Estella standing next to Lucian while he spoke to Pippa and Jeffrey.“Mr. Farwell! Essie!” Archie and Benny shouted excitedly from the car window.Roxanne couldn’t help but smile as she brought them out of the car.The boys hurried up to Estella and gave her a big hug from both sides.“Welcome back, Essie

“Did I say anything wrong? I’m more than happy to help pick Archie and Benny up and look after them if you can’t make it. Do you not want my help?” Lucian replied in the most matter-of-fact tone possible. He then eyed Roxanne from head to toe as he continued, “If you don’t want me to do that, I can have Cayden—”Roxanne knew just how persistent he could get, so she quickly cut him off, “All right, I’ll pick Essie up if you’re too busy.”Satisfied with her answer, Lucian nodded slowly in response.Looking at the time on her watch, Roxanne said, “Anyway, I need to get to work now. See you later in the evening.”She was worried about the research institute, as it had been without a leader for two days straight.Roxanne was about to leave when Lucian called out to her with a displeased frown, “That’s it? Are you just going to leave like that?”She paused in her tracks and let out a helpless sigh in response.Lucian seemed to have changed completely ever since I agreed to let him court me

Pippa chuckled and shook her head when she saw how excited the kids were. They are rarely this happy, so why not let them have some fun?She flashed a smile and watched them from the side, lest they get into any accidents.Another teaching a*sistant from the same cla*s approached her and whispered, “Ms. Ward, how is Mr. Farwell related to Archie and Benny’s mother?”Pippa froze in surprise. She recalled Lucian’s words earlier and how Estella had addressed Roxanne this morning.It was evident that there was more to their relationship than either of them was letting on although they had not been explicit about it.In the event that a member of the Farwell family wished to pick up Estella, Lucian would need to be notified by phone, whereas Roxanne could collect her without prior authorization.It could be said that Roxanne was much more important to Lucian than his family.However, she wasn’t sure if they were ready to go public with their relationship.Pippa gave the teaching a*sistant

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
