The abandoned Wife Tensions and Resolutions: Navigating Relationships and Business
A cold look flashed past Jack’s eyes when he heard her reject him firmly, but he was quick to suppress it. “I’m serious about this, Roxanne. We need to date each other if we want to truly maximize our potential. Don’t you want to develop your career in the medical field?” Jack pleaded earnestly with an expectant look in his eyes.However, his ambitious confession only scared Roxanne even more. “I do want to develop my career, but not like this! You’ve had too much to drink, Mr. Damaris. Let’s end this conversation here.”Roxanne was about to get up and leave when Jack let out a wry chuckle. “I knew it… I knew you would reject me, Roxanne. I just didn’t think you’d do so without at least giving me a chance. Is being with me really that bad? I don’t even know how Lucian is better than me.”Roxanne closed her eyes and calmed herself down before replying coldly, “This has nothing to do with Lucian. I simply don’t have feelings for you. Still, I would like to thank you for not resorting t

Needless to say, Lucian instantly noticed the discontent and guilt laced in Roxanne’s voice. “Jack even said he’d issue bonuses to my staff in his name. I had already considered doing it myself, but he beat me to the announcement. After that, I was just too embarra*sed to turn him down… Will the staff think that Jack treats them better than I do? Then again, our research institute is only collaborating with Damaris Group…” the latter muttered.She hadn’t been able to shake off the nagging feeling that something was off, so she had no choice but to discuss it with Lucian.After hearing Roxanne’s worries, the man softened his gaze and comforted her, “You haven’t done anything wrong. He’s the one who has crossed the line. Your talent and pa*sion lie in the medical field, so there’s no need to worry about the management aspect. Feel free to come to me if you ever need any a*sistance. I’ll be your advisor.”“What should I do now, then?” Roxanne asked, knowing she could rely on Lucian.Nat

Roxanne was rather offended by his sudden body contact, and the smile on her face became dark. She lowered her eyes and stepped back, slowly moving away from his hand. Jack frowned for a moment when he felt her uneasiness. He quickly removed his hand and pretended nothing had happened.“The research institute played a huge part in successfully developing the new medication. How about this? Lunch is on me today, plus everyone will receive a cash reward from me this month!” Jack’s words made it sound like he was closely related to the research institute.Roxanne felt he was slightly crossing the line and wanted to decline him. But the employees were already cheering. Thus, she thought it would not be nice to spoil the atmosphere.“Mr. Damaris is so generous!”“Thank you, Mr. Damaris. We will definitely work harder from now onwards!”One by one, the research institute staff began to offer Jack words of flattery.Roxanne felt slightly annoyed as she watched their admiration for Jack.“We
The abandoned Wife Breakthrough
Despite her attempt to tone down her tone, Roxanne’s voice remained cold and harsh when it came to matters related to Archie and Benny. Sonya was left speechless, her fork hanging mid-air as she paused to process what was said. Finally, she spoke up, “Well, I hope you’ll look after your sons and ensure they don’t address Elias however they want.”Benny looked at Roxanne before turning to Sonya and defending his mother without any hesitation. “But Grandpa is very happy when we address him as such. We can address you in another way since you don’t like us calling you Grandma.”Sonya turned red with anger at Benny’s remark, knowing he was right.The dinner table was suddenly heavy with tension.Roxanne was taken aback by Benny’s comment but acknowledged that he was right. After all, Elias and Sonya were their grandparents in reality.Instead of calling Benny out for ridiculing his grandmother, she gave Elias an apologetic look.Elias nodded rea*suringly, “Let’s calm down and enjoy our m

Lucian stopped in his tracks upon hearing Roxanne’s voice. He made a turn and walked toward the bed. His gaze turned dark as he regarded the groggy woman with her exposed shoulders.Roxanne mumbled blearily, “What’s wrong? You should go and shower so that you can rest soon.”Lucian’s breathing got heavier as he gazed at her innocent demeanor. However, he was trying his best to suppress his desire.If Roxanne was awake at this moment, she would definitely notice something was wrong and avoid such a situation deftly.Nonetheless, not only did she not notice anything then, but she was also looking up at him without much thought, revealing her bare neck.Not getting a reply from Lucian, Roxanne decided to snuggle back into her blanket.Suddenly, Lucian leaned down to plant a kiss on her face.Roxanne froze for a few seconds. Her drowsiness vanished instantly when she realized what he was doing.He was already on his way to the bathroom when she turned to look at him, leaving her hanging.

Lucian had never brought up the wedding plan to her. Roxanne was dumbfounded. She glanced at Lucian beside her, as she didn’t quite know how to react.Lucian suddenly grabbed her hand tightly.Roxanne froze for a second before she lowered her head and squeezed his hand.Sonya was already upset by her son’s words, so seeing the couple’s intertwined hands sent a wave of dizziness through her.“Essie, come over to me.”Since she couldn’t convince her son, she turned her attention to Estella. “I’ll bring you up to sleep.”Estella shook her head and grabbed the corner of Roxanne’s shirt. “I want to be with Mommy.”Sonya took a deep breath as she tried to suppress her anger. “Do you not want Grandma and Grandpa anymore?”Estella felt a little aggrieved upon hearing that. She observed Lucian’s and Roxanne’s expressions carefully before saying, “Can’t I have it all? Mommy, Daddy, Grandpa, and Grandma.”Everyone felt their hearts lurch when Estella’s childish voice rang out.Sonya’s extended

Roxanne frowned, evidently still unconvinced that was a good idea. “I’m not prepared for this…” Lucian pulled her into his embrace, so they were in close proximity to one another. “You don’t have to prepare anything. I’ll take good care of you and the children.”With that, he sealed her lips with his to prevent her from refusing him.After a long while, Roxanne, whose eyes were watery, finally struggled free from his arms when she felt she was on the verge of suffocation.“I don’t know what you have in mind, but I still think that…”Lucian’s gaze darkened. A hint of displeasure surged within him as he sensed she was still concerning herself with that. Nonetheless, he did not let his emotions show and kept a solemn facial expression.“I don’t want to make things difficult for you either, but the kids have been yearning to meet you even in their dreams. Aubree hasn’t been caught, so I can never feel safe if you live here alone.”Lucian casually lied to Roxanne as she had not been infor

The two were busy until eight at night. After exiting the laboratory, Jack checked the time and suggested, “It’s late now. Let’s have a meal together. We haven’t seen each other in a while.”However, Roxanne declined apologetically as she was a little worn out, “Let’s do that some other day. I’m too tired today.”“I’ll send you back, then,” he persisted.At his words, she could not help but recall her previous speculation and felt a bit concerned. “I appreciate your offer, Mr. Damaris, but I drove here. I’ll have problems getting to work tomorrow if you send me back, so it’s best not to.”After saying that, she continued without giving him a chance to reply, “It’s indeed a little late. Let’s head out early.”Jack frowned in displeasure when he saw her turning on her heels and followed her to the entrance of the research institute.Just as Roxanne was about to get in her car, he suddenly spoke. “Oh, by the way, if you have time tomorrow afternoon, come to Damaris Group. We haven’t tal
The abandoned Wife Unexpected Lunch and Unwelcome Visitors
It was past eight in the evening when Roxanne arrived home. When she entered, she saw the three children sitting on the couch, tuning to the financial news channel. Lucian was sitting cross-legged beside them.The four of them were focused on the television.“You’re back?”Lucian was the first to get up when he heard the sound at the door. “There’s food on the table. I just heated it. You should change and come down for dinner.”Only then did the three children shift their focus and run toward her with round bellies. “Mommy, the food that Daddy ordered is delicious!”Roxanne looked amused when she saw how full they were from eating before she shifted her gaze to the CEO before her who seemed to be asking for credit.“What did you—”“I didn’t want to make you worry. You should know I can take good care of them.”Roxanne was taken aback. She looked at how serious Lucian was and felt her heart skip a beat. “I know. That’s why I asked you to look after them.”The three children stared at
