Semua Bab The abandoned Wife : Bab 171 - Bab 180

Sonya’s response unequivocally took Aubree by surprise. The latter quickly turned her head, only to realize that Lucian was standing by the door.Instantly, she reviewed her speech in her head and was relieved that she did not say anything that could have exposed her scheme. Her gaze then fell on Sonya. “There’s no need for you to be so formal, Mrs. Farwell. It was something I should have done. Please, don’t even mention it,” she said in a gentle voice.Sonya furrowed her brows and replied, “You’re such a sweet girl. Are you trying to make me feel more terrible than I already am?”Obediently, Aubree said nothing else.Sonya shot Lucian a glance. “If it weren’t for Aubree, you wouldn’t be able to see me standing here anymore. No matter what, the Farwell family owes Aubree a favor. I’m still in shock, so I don’t think I’m the best person to take care of her right now. Therefore, it’s your duty to care for her in the meantime.”At that point, everyone in the room had their eyes on Lucian

As though she was fulfilling what she said before, after Sonya ate lunch, she left.“I’m feeling a little tired, so I’ll return to rest now. Lucian will stay and take care of you.” Then she turned to her son. “The company shouldn’t have any important matters during this period.”Lucian nodded indifferently.“I’ll leave Aubree in your care. Take good care of her.” She further reminded him of Aubree’s condition again before leaving.Seeing Sonya leaving, Gina and her husband left as well.The only people left in the ward were Aubree and Lucian.The atmosphere was awkward.Aubree dug her nails into her palm as displeasure filled her heart.It was because Lucian treated her more coldly than he did in the past. He didn’t even want to look at her.It’s all because of that b*tch! She disrupted my years’ worth of work and caused Lucian and me to grow apart!Then, as she tried to find things to talk about, his voice entered her ears.“If you need anything, just call me. I’ll stay outside.” He

The boys swam for nearly two hours. When they were done, Roxanne brought them to lunch.On the way there, she couldn’t stop thinking about what Archie had said to the man.She glanced at the children for a long time through the rearview mirror. Eventually, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you say that earlier, Archie? Why did you say Mr. Farwell is your daddy?”The reason she didn’t ask about it earlier was that she didn’t want to ruin their moods to play. However, she could no longer hold herself back.Upon hearing that, the boy glanced at her innocently. “Because he’s awesome and powerful!”Roxanne was stunned. For a moment, she couldn’t tell if he was lying or not.“Besides, I think if we call Mr. Farwell, he’ll probably rush over to our location.” Archie felt a bit odd when he said that.He didn’t like his father because his father wanted to marry another woman. However, he was confident that if anything happened to his mother, his father would arrive shortly after.If not for

Roxanne returned to her senses and protected her children behind her back. She gave Aubree a distant smile. “There’s no need for you to worry, Ms. Pearson. It’s just a minor illness.”Then she glanced at Lucian. “It seems like you’re busy with Mr. Farwell. I won’t bother the both of you further.”Without waiting for their replies, she grabbed her children and attempted to escape the couple’s line of sight.After she took two steps away, Lucian spoke. “Are Benny and Archie not feeling well?”His gaze brushed past the children and saw Benny’s pale face. He also noticed the boy was holding his abdomen with darkened eyes.The pale-faced boy turned around and uttered in an angry tone, “It’s just a stomachache! You should just take that lady to the doctor, Mr. Farwell. There’s no need for you to pay attention to us!”It was pretty obvious he was angry. The corridor was silent as his voice echoed in the stairwell.Sensing the hostility from the child, Lucian furrowed his eyebrows. He wasn’t

“Is your stomach aching badly? Do you want me to carry you?”Roxanne, who had come to the staircase, knelt down in concern and looked into Benny’s eyes.Benny cracked a mischievous yet gleeful smile. “It stopped hurting a long while ago, but I could sense that you felt like leaving early.”From the moment Mommy saw Daddy and the wicked woman at the elevator just now, there was a drastic change in her mood.Furthermore, when they were blocked in the corridor by Lucian, he could clearly feel the hostility Roxanne exuded.Coincidentally, both he and Archie resented the sight of Lucian, hence the excuse to get Roxanne to leave.Upon hearing Benny’s words, the relieved yet amused Roxanne gave his nose a playful scratch. “Next time, don’t scare me by telling me that you have a stomach ache while being sick. Instead, you should just say that you’re tired.”Roxanne was given a fright by Benny earlier. If not for the urge to avoid further interaction with Lucian, she would have brought Benny b
