All Chapters of The Wife They Sent Away: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

The plane touched down smoothly at Ashbourne Airport. The moment the wheels hit the runway, Caelum sat up straighter in his seat.“We landed?” he asked, already leaning toward the window.Aria glanced at him and gave a faint smile. “Yes, we did.”As the plane slowed, Caelum pressed closer to the window, watching everything outside with sharp focus. Ashbourne’s airport was much bigger than Ravensford’s, more planes, larger terminals, and constant movement of people and vehicles.Aria studied him quietly. “Are you excited?”Caelum gave a small shrug, looking too serious for a five-year-old. “It’s fine.”She raised a brow. “Just fine?”He glanced at her briefly. “Nothing special.”Then after a short pause, he added, “But it was a good experience.”That made her smile despite herself.Caelum turned back to the window, still thinking. “When I grow up,” he said matter-of-factly, “I’m going to build a better one.”Aria shook her head lightly, amused. Of course that would be his takeaway from

Morning came quietly at the Ashbourne house, calm and almost normal.Sunlight filled the tall windows, warming the kitchen and dining area. For the first time since they arrived, the house felt less like a refuge and more like home.Caelum had been awake early. New places always made him curious.By the time Aria came downstairs, he was already at the dining table with a book while Helena prepared breakfast. The smell of toast, eggs, and coffee filled the room.He turned at her footsteps. “Good morning, Mom.”Aria gave a faint smile. “You’re up early.”“I wanted to see the house in daylight.”“Breakfast is ready,” Helena sa

Upstairs, Caelum began to quietly connect pieces that still didn’t form a complete picture.He sat cross-legged on the floor, his building kit untouched beside him. Normally, he would already be focused, carefully putting parts together. But today, his mind kept drifting back to what he had heard.You’ll meet him soon.The words kept repeating in his head, calm, simple, like a fact waiting for meaning.Caelum wasn’t easily confused. He was young, but unusually observant. He listened more than he spoke, and when he asked questions, it was because he already sensed something didn’t fit.Helena was nearby, folding a few books onto the shelf, when he finally spoke.“Nana Helena?”She turned. “Yes?”Caelum hesitated, then asked quietly, “What did he mean?”Helena paused. She already understood what he was referring to, but she answered carefully.“About what, Caelum?”His expression stayed steady, but his voice sharpened slightly. “My real father.”Helena sighed inwardly. Too soon.She set

That night, Adrian never came home.Alessia stayed awake far longer than she should have, sitting alone in the dim light of her bedroom. With every passing hour, the quiet felt heavier.She waited, though not because this was unusual. Adrian rarely spent nights at the mansion, and their marriage had never been built on shared routines or domestic expectations. They had understood that years ago without ever discussing it.But tonight felt different.Not after what her mother had told her. Not after Elara. Not after learning there was a child.By midnight, Alessia had already called Adrian several times. None were answered. Eventually, every call went straight to voicemail.Her jaw tightened. He was avoiding her.And somehow, that irritated her more than if he had simply answered.By morning, her patience was gone.If Adrian refused to come home, then she would go to him.The lobby of Wolfe Group was already busy when Alessia arrived.Employees moved through the marble halls with pract

Meanwhile, across the city at Aurelia Nexus Holdings, Aria was still going through a proposal when someone knocked on her office door.“Come in,” she said without looking up.The door opened, and Elvira stepped inside. “There’s a visitor asking to see you, ma’am.”Aria kept reading. “Did they have an appointment?”“No.”That made her pause. She looked up, noticing the hesitation in Elvira’s expression.Elvira hesitated. “He said he’s your father.”Aria went still. For a moment, her thoughts went blank. There was only one possibility.Richard Vale.Before she could respond, a voice came from outside the door.“You think partnering with big companies gives you the right to keep me waiting?”Aria’s head snapped toward the door just as Richard stepped in.He didn’t slow down. Didn’t ask permi
