All Chapters of The abandoned Wife : Chapter 731 - Chapter 740

The two of them didn’t continue talking after that, and Lucian had moved from ma*saging her temples to ma*saging her shoulders. When he was moving his hands, he either intentionally or accidentally brushed his thumbs across her neck.Roxanne was caught off guard, and her body froze when she suddenly felt as though an electric current had coursed through her.In the next second, Lucian was already ma*saging her shoulders. “How are you feeling? Am I pressing too hard?” he asked softly.Roxanne turned around to meet Lucian’s gentle gaze. She was startled, so she immediately retracted her eyes and nodded. “It’s fine.”Little did she know Lucian wasn’t planning to let go of her just yet. “I don’t know which acupuncture point can help you relax. How about you teach me?”As he was talking, he loosened his grips.In a flash, the atmosphere became ambiguous.Roxanne feigned calmness and cleared her throat. “Why would you want to know that? It’s not like you can ma*sage yourself.”In a natural

Meanwhile, Roxanne was walking to the car with the children when she saw Lucian interrogating Ophelia. “Lucian?” Upon noticing the fury on the man’s face, she quickly stood before the children and shot Lucian a look.Lucian clenched his fists before releasing Ophelia and gesturing for the bodyguards to let her go.Ophelia gasped with fear. She desperately wanted to run away but was so terrified that she could barely move.“Daddy!” the three children greeted Lucian affectionately even though Roxanne got in their way.When Roxanne realized the atmosphere had eased a bit, she released her grip on the children.They noticed Ophelia, who seemed somewhat out of place, and greeted her respectfully, “Ms. Smith.”However, Ophelia was so consumed by panic that she could not hear their voices.As the children received no response from Ophelia, they looked around at the adults in confusion.“Daddy, why are you and Ms. Smith here?” Benny asked in his innocent, childlike voice.The children had fi

The police responded efficiently, especially when it came to a matter related to the Farwell family. Investigations began that very night. Once Ophelia woke up, Cayden brought her to the police station.Traumatized by the evening’s events, she cooperated with the police by confessing and giving them all her phone records with Aubree.Upon obtaining the evidence, the police began the hunt.In a mansion on the outskirts of the city, Gina was tossing and turning on her bed at midnight.Samuel reprimanded her, “What are you doing? Why aren’t you asleep at this hour? Our useless daughter has left. Do you plan on leaving with her?”The distraught Gina carefully replied, “Don’t say that. Aubree’s still our daughter no matter what. Besides, didn’t you approve of her actions in the beginning? How can you now blame her when the plan has fallen apart? I wonder how she’s doing alone outside.” Gina rubbed her chest. “I can’t help worrying about her, and my eyelids won’t stop twitching—”Her words

Sonya fixed Roxanne with a cold-eyed stare, clearly suspecting that Lucian had caused a commotion because of her. Lucian stepped between his mother and Roxanne protectively, then led the latter downstairs and made her sit in the armchair while he stood beside her.“I wouldn’t have bothered the police at such a late hour, but I caught a woman named Ophelia Smith trying to pour lubricant over the brakes on Roxanne’s car this afternoon. Had I not discovered what she was doing, I’m afraid Roxanne and the children could be dead by now.”Sonya’s expression changed. “What? Didn’t that person know Estella would be riding in that car too?”Lucian’s tone turned grave as he replied, “She knew, of course. After all, the mastermind behind it all is Aubree.”“What did you say?” Sonya was so enraged that she lost her balance and staggered backward into Elias.He immediately helped her to the couch, then asked, “What’s going on? How can you be sure that it was Aubree’s doing? Hasn’t she learned her

Roxanne had a hesitant look in her eyes as she asked, “I want to know what you think of Archie and Benny. Tell me honestly, did you only choose to accept them because of me?” “You know me. Except for Essie, I have no patience for kids in general. But things are different with Archie and Benny. I’m not sure if it’s because they have your blood running through their veins, but I felt an odd sense of closeness with them the moment I first saw them,” Lucian replied without any hesitation.He then released his grip on Roxanne as he continued, “I was prepared to accept them the moment I first saw them. It’s just as I said in the announcement. From now on, I will treat them as our children, which is no different from how I treat Essie.”Roxanne felt a wave of melancholy sweep over her when she heard that.Lucian said he felt a sense of closeness with them because they’re my children, but in reality, they’re his children too… Who would’ve thought being related by blood would have such a stro
