The Deserted Wife Chapter 37
“So, what’s going on?” Nathan asked Audrey as they had tea time one afternoon when the former came to visit. “I thought you wanted to divorce him. Why is he sitting in front of you now?” The blond gazed toward Shane who managed to stay calm despite what he just heard about him.Audrey put down her cup and shrugged. She didn’t want to see the man either but he kept coming with the excuse of seeing his child. Although it irked her to see him almost every day, she didn’t say a word and let him do his part as the father of her son. “He’s my son’s father, Nate,” she said.“And your husband,” Shane muttered, earning a groan from Audrey. “We ain’t divorced,” he added.Audrey smiled. “Yet,” she mumbled. Audrey raised an eyebrow and stood from her seat. “It’s getting late. You should be going now,” she told Shane who was caught off-guard. Audrey was low-key kicking him out and he couldn’t argue about his right to stay.“I understand you want him off your sight, Hija. My apologies though, I hav

“Audrey, wait!” Shane hurriedly ran upstairs to follow Audrey to her room after dinner. “Why do you keep avoiding me?” His eyebrows furrowed as he met her gaze.Audrey stared at him blankly. She felt like dissing him but she didn’t choose violence at the moment. It was already late and she rather has a good night’s sleep than argue with anyone, especially with Shane. “Why not? It’s not like we’re on good terms, Shane. Face it. We’re soon to be divorced. Just a few more weeks and we’ll be legally over. Let’s get over it, shall we?”Shane was still not used to Audrey’s cold treatment toward him. He never dreamed to be treated by her like that. But things were already out of his hand. He knew it would be hard to earn her trust again and everything else wouldn’t go back to the way it was before. However, stubborn as a bull, Shane didn’t want to give up just yet. He thought he never did his best for her so far and it might be the perfect time for him to do it.“Will you be happy if we divo

The air had gotten thicker as the awkward silence enveloped the garden. Shane became the center of attention, earning unpleasant gazes from everyone else. He blamed himself internally for being clueless but accepted the fact right away that he was at fault. Unfortunately, the others seemed not too comfortable to keep him around after what he’d said.“Jared helped me,” Audrey blurted out after a long awkward silence. She figured the others didn’t know what to say in that situation. As Asher’s father, she thought Shane had to know how she managed to keep their baby in a such difficult situation she was in. “He was the one who brought me to the hospital when I happened to give birth in the car.”“You what?” Shane raised his voice in utter surprise. He couldn’t believe his ears. He knew Audrey had trouble giving birth and felt bad not being by her side in hard times but didn’t expect it to the extent of her having labored in the car. “You were driving when you’re pregnant?”“It was unexpe

“I wish to be the child’s godfather,” Tristan said with a serious face. After thinking thoroughly about what he should do next, he realized he wanted to be Asher’s godfather, not because he was Audrey’s son but because he wanted it. He was worried Audrey wouldn’t agree but he still wanted to ask.Audrey went quiet. She would have greed as Tristan saved her and Asher’s life but at the same time, it was hard to respond when Shane was around.“No,” Shane said with clenched jaws. “Why would I give you a reason to get close to my family?”“Why not? Your so-called family wouldn’t be here now if not for him,” Audrey blurted out. She didn’t plan to argue with Shane yet again but the latter never changed. After what she heard earlier, Audrey felt nothing but the need to get a divorce right away. But at the same time, she couldn’t proceed with the divorce before Asher get christened.“Audrey is right, Shane. Tristan here was godsent to both your wife and son. Asher would be one day grateful to

“Let’s do it,” Audrey mumbled the next day after joining Shane for breakfast. They just finished the meal and were enjoying the quiet time they shared in the dining hall when she spoke to him. Since Asher’s christening was over, she was ready to face her husband again to confront him. “The divorce,” she added.“Audrey,” Shane muttered in disbelief. He thought she would change her mind after their ‘short’ reconciliation. “Are we really going to do this?”“Yes,” she replied right away. There was no hesitation in the tone of her voice which gave him a pang in his chest. “You know why we should do this, Shane.”Shane sat there in stunned silence as Audrey listed off all of the reasons why she wanted a divorce. He had never felt so blindsided in his life. He knew they had been going through a rough patch lately, but he never imagined it would come to this.As Audrey continued to speak, Shane couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt in his chest. He knew he had been neglecting her lately, b

The divorce was over in a blink of an eye. Audrey decided to move out of her mother-in-law’s house and live on her own. She bought a house with the help of Nathan and moved in as soon as the preparations were done. She spent her days taking care of a small flower garden in the afternoon when baby Asher was asleep. It was a simple and peaceful life Audrey yearned for so long. “Miss Audrey, someone’s ringing the bell on the gate. Do you expect any visitors today,” Flora, Audrey’s housemaid asked. Even though Audrey didn’t want to get one, her mother-in-law insisted to take Flora with her. Since Flora was a new hire in her mother-in-law’s house, she took her in. The young lady was efficient in her work and was kind which made Audrye like her in no time. Audrey sighed. “Flora, ignore it. You don’t have to open the gate for that person,” she told her maid and continued reading the book in her hands. Gardening was a challenge for Audrey so she was starting from zero. She bought books and m

“So,” Audrey stared at the man in front of her. After the divorce, she expected to have peaceful years without him but then again, she let him in her life again on a whim. “You want me to teach you to cook? Can’t you hire other professionals?” She thought Shane was kidding when he told her about his upcoming guest in a show where he had to assist a celebrity chef in cooking in front of an audience. However, Shane was serious about it and of all people, he decided to ask her for help.“I can’t.” Shane shook his head. “Almost everyone knew I’m already good at cooking and having another chef to teach me what I need to know would cause a stir in public’s opinion about me,” he explained.“Hah! I see,” Audrey sneered. “After all, you’re still concerned about your image in the eyes of the public. Very well,” she paused and took a sip of her coffee. It was her third cup in a day. After talking to him and mindlessly agreeing to his request, she couldn’t sleep a blink at night. “If that’s the c

The next morning, Audrey woke up to an unexpected call from Nathan. She was barely awake when she answered only to scream in surprise after hearing what the other had to say.“No! Nate, you’re saying you can’t do it?” Audrey rubbed her head that seemed. “What happened to Francesca? Is she alright? Oh my. I got it. Thanks for letting me know in advance. I will let him know and find someone to replace you,” I said.“Thanks, Audie. I want to help, I’m sorry.” Nathan sounded apologetic.“It’s fine. I totally understand,” Audrey replied. “I’ll come visit you soon. See you,” she said and hung up. “Gosh. I hope she’s fine,” Audrey mumbled as she got off the bed. As much as she wanted to run to the hospital and check on Francesca’s condition, she couldn’t leave her baby and there was Shane too whom she had to take care of now that Nathan was no longer available.“Good morning, Miss. Would you like the same thing for breakfast?” Flora asked as soon as Audrey went down to the kitchen. She was c

“Ma! Are you ready yet?” Asher called his Mom from the door. “The airplane is going to leave us if you don’t hurry,” he urged. “Calm down, sweetie! Mommy’s almost done,” Audrey replied. She hurriedly tied up her hair in a bun and checked herself in the mirror once again. “Not bad,” she mumbled, picked up her bag, and headed to the door. “Finally!” Asher said and chuckled as he hugged his mother’s leg. “I thought you changed your mind,” he said with a worried face. Audrey smiled. “Of course not. Your grannies are waiting, so we’re going no matter what. They missed you so much,” she told the boy whose face lit up again. “I missed them, too!” Asher flashed a toothy grin. “And daddy also,” he added. Audrey’s face turned sour. Speaking of Asher’s father, Shane — he hadn’t visited his son for 3 months. At first, she thought it was fine since he was busy with work, but Asher kept asking for him. When she tried to call Shane so he could talk to his son at least, his secretary was the one
The Deserted Wife Special Chapter 5: New Year! New Life?
After Christmas, Tristan had to go back to work. Meanwhile, Shane stayed with Audrey and Asher to ring in the New Year. Audrey bustled around the kitchen, preparing a feast for the festivities. As she worked, Shane watched over Asher, who couldn't contain his excitement about the night ahead. Asher was asleep when the clock finally struck midnight and everyone erupted with cheers, welcoming the new year with optimism and hope. Audrey and Shane raised their glasses to join in on the festivities and toasted together. "Cheers to a brand new year!" Audrey and Shane announced, clinking their glasses together. They had been through so much during the past year, but they continued to live on. After the toast, they stepped out to the balcony and marveled at the breathtaking view of twinkling stars that lit up the night sky. Vibrant colors from fireworks filled the town with life. Everywhere was buzzing with excitement. Across the street, people were lighting sparklers and letting off crack

“Miss, your phone’s ringing,” Flora informed Audrey as she handed her the phone. “Thanks,” Audrey replied and got down the ladder. She was decorating the tree she bought the other day for Christmas. Since it was going to be Asher's first Christmas, she wanted it to be special. "Oh, it's Tristan," she mumbled, seeing the name flashing on her screen. It had been a while since they talked. The last time was at her farewell party before she moved to the country. “Hi, Audrey!” He greeted her as soon as she answered the call. “Hey there, Tristan,” Audrey said, smiling warmly. “I hope I'm not interrupting anything,” Tristan said in his smooth voice. “I just wanted to let you know that I'll be visiting on Christmas with a special gift for my godson. I've missed him so much!” Audrey smiled, happy for her son, who would get a visit from his only godfather. But then she sensed something was up when Tristan didn't change the topic. “Audrey, I was hoping we could catch up,” he said. Audrey h
The Deserted Wife Special Chapter 3: Thanksgiving
Months passed since Audrey and Asher, along with Flora, moved to the countryside. It was Thanksgiving Day. Mr. and Mrs. Vargas came to celebrate with them. Audrey opened the door, and the elderly couple immediately ran up to her with open arms. “Ah, Hija! It's so good to see you!” Mrs. Vargas exclaimed as they all embraced warmly. “Welcome to our home. We hope you find it comfortable,” Audrey said, taking in their expressions of joy at being in a place that was so tranquil and cozy. She smiled as Asher happily waved his tiny hands towards them to be enveloped in their embrace. The elderly couple positively bubbled with excitement when they laid eyes on their beloved grandson again. “Oh, my goodness! Look how much he has grown since we last saw him!” Mr. Vargas marveled. His face lit up at the sight of Asher with his bright smile. Mrs. Vargas then asked, “Would you like for us to take him out for a walk? The neighborhood looks delightful.” Audrey nodded eagerly and pointed out va
The Deserted Wife Special Chapter 2: The Supermaid
It’s been two days since Audrey and Asher, along with the housemaid, Flora, came to their new house in the country. The house was already cleaned when they arrived and all that was left to do was to arrange the things in their rooms. Flora took care of that to make sure that Audrey was comfortable. She did all the chores from morning to night, serving Audrey and Asher with all her might. “Flora, you need to take a break.” Audrey noticed it and she didn’t like how Flora tire herself. “I’m glad you’re doing all you can but your body needs rest. I don’t want you to fall sick because of overworking, okay? Now, sit down and watch Asher sleep. I will make breakfast today,” Audrey said and headed to the kitchen. “Miss, I can do it.” Flora followed her like a lost child. “You came here to relax, not to make breakfast for your maid,” she stated. Audrey sighed. “Yes, you’re right. I came here to relax and looking at you work like you’re the only one able in the house doesn’t make me feel righ
The Deserted Wife Special Chapter 1: After Party
Tristan clenched his fists as he watched Audrey cupping Shane’s face. He could already guess what would happen next and he didn’t want to wait and witness such a scene unfold before him. He was trying to talk to Audrey again and tell her that he was fine being friends with her but who was he kidding? He wasn’t fine about it but compared to being ignored, he rather stays by her side in hopes she would open up her heart to him one day. However, after what he saw, it seemed impossible for him. Drawing a deep breath, Tristan relaxed his hands and threw one last glance over the two before turning around to leave. He already said enough and tried his best but Audrey’s mind was made up. He only wished for her to choose the right choice this time and not go through the same pain she suffered. “Tristan, are you enjoying the party?” Mrs. Vargas who happened to bump into him asked. “Why don’t you try this wine? My husband loved this one. Give it a try,” she said and handed him a glass of wine.

“Surprise!” Audrey was stunned when everyone greeted her as soon as she stepped inside the living room. Mrs. Vargas was smiling widely as she led her to join the others. “What’s going on?” Audrey asked, not hiding her smile. “You’re leaving town so we’re throwing a farewell party. Do you not like it?” The elderly said and gestured for her to sit. “Oh! Why don’t you put Asher down first? We’ve prepared a crib for him,” she added before calling a maid to get the crib. “Why don’t you enjoy the party while the baby is still sleeping? Don’t worry. We have enough people to watch over him. You also deserve a good break you didn’t have since you gave birth.” “Aw. Thank you, Mom. Though I’d have prepared for this if you told me beforehand,” Audrey said and pouted. “Silly. It would surprise no more if you knew in advance,” the elderly replied and laughed. “Get a glass of champagne, eat, and enjoy the music, Hija. This night is all yours,” she added. “Alright! Since you said so. Why don’t we
The Deserted Wife Chapter 64
The gentle breeze blew Audrey’s hair as she checked the listing of available property for sale on the website that Nathan recommended to her. She spent 2 hours browsing through the properties shown on the list and while she considered the price, she also wanted a perfect place that meets all her conditions. Looking for a new place to move in was the first thing Audrey did after leaving the hospital. She couldn’t wait to live in the country like she always wanted.“Whoa!” Audrey exclaimed. “How is this possible?” She clicked her fingers when she found just the perfect place she was looking for. “Flora! Come over here. I found it! This should be it!” She screamed in excitement. And even though she called for the maid, Audrey held the laptop instead and ran to the house. “Look at this, Flora. You won’t believe it but it has everything I wanted. It’s a bit more pricey than my budget but this is the best!”“Really? Let me see. Does it have a pool in the backyard?” Flora inquired as she tru

“For now, her vitals are stable. There’s a chance she will regain her memories once she wakes up but if that isn’t the case, we’ll have to further observe her condition.”“Thanks, Doc. Please do anything you can to help her. That’s all we need,” Shane said.“We will see what we can do, Mr. Vargas.”Shane gently closed the door when the doctor left. He sighed and leaned his back on the wall with his eyes shut. He couldn’t believe the turn of events. If only he had the power to turn back time, he wouldn’t hesitate to do it for her sake.“Mm…”Audrey let out a moan as she opened her eyes only to close them again when she found her vision was blurry. She felt exhausted. Her throat was dry and her body felt heavy as if she was beaten up. “Ugh!” She groaned as she tried to get up. Her head ached as she moved. “Flora…” She mumbled. “I need your help.”“Audrey? God, you’re awake!” Shane’s voice resounded throughout the room. “Are you feeling better? Do you feel hurt anywhere? Please tell me,”
