The abandoned Wife Reflections in Silence
The group soon left the hotel in the middle of the night and headed back to the city. It was different from how they arrived. On the way home, Archie sat in the front pa*senger seat in order to allow Roxanne to sit comfortably while Estella and Benny accompanied Roxanne in the back seat.All three children kept staring at her injured foot, and Roxanne did not know whether to laugh or cry at that.They finally arrived at the entrance of the mansion. With her hand on the car seat to support her, Roxanne carefully tried to get out of the car. Just as she reached the door, a pair of big hands reached out and were placed on her waist, carrying her up.Roxanne was stunned for a few seconds. However, after realizing that the kids had already seen this happen many times after she got injured and probably wouldn’t think much of it, there was no need for her to reject Lucian. Therefore, she allowed him to carry her into the mansion.Just as they entered, Lysa walked over to meet them. When she

It was only when she had to walk by herself that she realized how troublesome it was.Even though Lysa was supporting her, it was hard for her to walk when she could not put any pressure on one of her feet.After Roxanne slowly made her way to the stairs, she looked up at the many steps and laughed helplessly. “I’ll just stay down here for the moment.”Lysa then brought her to the guest room on the lower floor. Her heart ached for Roxanne.It was fortunate that she was there to take care of the latter.Lysa had no idea how Roxanne took care of two kids all alone. She could not imagine how hard things must have been whenever Roxanne fell sick and still had to care for her two sons.Archie and Benny trailed behind their mother and Lysa.Roxanne sat down on the side of the bed and said to her twins in a soft voice, “It’s late. You two should head to bed now.”However, the boys pursed their lips and shook their heads. “We want to be with you, Mommy!”If Roxanne needed water in the middle

The atmosphere in the car was tense.No one said anything for the rest of the journey back to the Farwell residence.Estella was in a gloomy mood the entire time. She did not even wait for Lucian to carry her into the house. The young girl had gotten out of the car and walked to the mansion alone.Staring at her tiny silhouette, Lucian frowned. It seemed that Estella’s condition was worsening.Upon realizing that, Lucian’s heart fell.Roxanne’s attitude to Estella had a huge impact on Estella’s mental health.Lucian was not going to let Roxanne become distant from them because of Estella.Lucian followed Estella into the house. Just as he entered, Estella was already sitting on the couch with her head hung low. Catalina comforted her with a worried look on her face, but Estella refused to speak.When Catalina noticed Lucian walking, she looked at him and asked, “What’s with Ms. Estella, Mr. Farwell?”Just as she spoke, she realized that Lucian had a similar expression on his face.Cat

It’s all Daddy’s fault! Ms. Jarvis really likes me, and she’s avoiding me because she doesn’t like Daddy! Ms. Jarvis didn’t even want me to take care of her now that she is hurt. I wonder how is she…Upon thinking of that, Estella pursed her lips as her eyes reddened.Lucian did not know how to deal with Estella, and he was afraid of saying something wrong. He did not want her condition to worsen.Estella had finally started communicating normally with them instead of writing on a piece of paper. He really did not want things to regress to how they were in the beginning.After remaining silent for a long while, Lucian sighed heavily. “Are you blaming me?”Estella answered with her silence.Seeing that, a sense of helplessness rose in Lucian’s heart.Estella was definitely Roxanne’s daughter. Even if they were not aware of their relationship, Estella had the same temper as Roxanne.It was all right for Roxanne to be distant from him, but it was different when his daughter, whom he had

After lunch, Roxanne freshened up and requested Lysa to accompany her to the meeting. When they arrived, they noticed Jack was already waiting for them by a table next to a window.When he saw Roxanne had to walk with the support of another person, he went up to her. “Are you injured? Why didn’t you tell me in the morning?”Roxanne responded with a faint smile. “It’s just a minor injury. I can still walk.”Jack frowned after taking a glance at the leg that was hanging mid-air. He then helped her to her seat.Lysa sat outside and waited by the door.After taking her seat, Roxanne noticed the stack of documents in front of her. Her tone instantly got serious. “I believe we have a lot of things to go through today, so let’s not waste time anymore and dive right in.”Jack nodded in agreement. He was a big fan of a career woman like Roxanne.“We have long finalized the details of the collaboration between the two research institutes. We had to delay the process because of the Damaris fami

His stare shifted to the direction Jack left and continued in a mocking tone, “Or is it because Mr. Damaris is special? So much so that you want to meet him despite your injury?”Roxanne could sense the hostility in his voice and felt even odder. “Mr. Damaris and I are merely business partners. We met today because we wanted to discuss our collaboration. Please do not make wild guesses, Mr. Farwell!”Lucian’s lips twitched. “It’d better be.”Seeing the mockery on his face caused her to feel a slight pain in her heart. Her expression darkened as she said, “Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Mr. Farwell. However, I have all sorts of medicine here. So, if there’s nothing else, please leave.”Roxanne turned around and staggered back into the mansion without giving Lucian another chance to speak.He grabbed her arm after she took two steps away from him.His cold voice rang next to her ear. “I’ll send you back in.”“No need. It’s only a few steps. I can handle it just fine,” she rejected w

On the other side, Aubree was finally able to leave the hospital after staying there for nearly a month. Lucian only kept her company in the hospital for a few days under his mother’s request. After that, he never showed up again.She contacted him a few times, asking him to visit her. However, he would always use his work as an excuse to reject her.Additionally, two days ago, some of her friends, who had children studying in the same kindergarten, visited her. They told her that Lucian and Roxanne were acting in the Sleeping Beauty play. Not only that, they showed her photos of the play.Inside the photos, Lucian was seen wearing a princely outfit as he stared longingly at Roxanne, who was lying on a wooden bed.Aubree’s friends continued to swipe the screen, showing her photos upon photos of Roxanne and Lucian.Eventually, he was seen sitting by the side of the bed, leaning his body toward Roxanne in order to kiss her.When Aubree saw the kiss, she shoved the phone away, unwilling

He pulled out his phone to check who it was with furrowed eyebrows. The moment he saw the name on the screen, he subconsciously looked at the woman in front of him and met her eyes.Roxanne’s eyebrows tightened a little as she swept her gaze past the phone’s screen and saw the name.It was as though the word “Aubree” was reminding her that she was getting too close to Lucian.When she realized that, she pinched her palm, pretended to be calm, and pulled herself backward. She wanted to put as much distance as possible between herself and him. Her eyes lowered as she pretended that she didn’t exist.In the next second, the vibrating sound stopped.Her eyebrows remained furrowed as she subconsciously glanced at the phone.It was then she saw Lucian had hung up the call and stuffed it back into his pocket.He stared into Roxanne’s eyes, which caused her to be stunned for a second.“I’ve applied medicine to your wound and help bandaged your injury.

After throwing her cutleries in a rage, she set off and drove to Roxanne’s house.She was determined to make Lucian and Estella cut ties with Roxanne as soon as possible.Now that Sonya saw how dependent Estella was on Roxanne, her anger was further fueled.“Roxanne Jarvis, give me back my granddaughter,” she uttered frostily as if Roxanne had snatched Estella away from her.Sensing Estella’s nervousness, Roxanne gripped the former’s hand to soothe her anxiety. Next, Roxanne lifted her head to face the woman opposite her.If this had happened in the past, Roxanne might not know how to respond to a demand like this.However, things were different now. She was Estella’s mother, so she had the right to keep Estella
The abandoned Wife Unexpected Visitor
The boys were exhilarated for nearly the whole day after seeing the announcement in the morning.When night fell, Roxanne had just stepped into the house when Archie and Benny flung themselves at her in excitement. “Mommy!”She was slightly perplexed by their gleeful demeanor. “What’s going on? Did something nice happen in the kindergarten?”As soon as she ended her sentence, she glanced at Estella and was puzzled. If something did happen in the kindergarten, why isn’t Essie acting the same way as them?Upon detecting his mother’s confusion, Archie said, “Didn’t you see the news on the internet?”That confounded Roxanne even further. What news on the internet?Excitedly, Benny added, “Mr. Farwell claimed that we’re his children, just like Essie!”Did I hear that right? Lucian said Archie and Benny are his children? How’s that possible? Roxanne was stunned.He could tell his mother was befuddled, so he grabbed the laptop, clicked on a public forum, and showed it to her.Farwell Group’s
The abandoned Wife Family Matters
Jonathan’s jaw dropped open in disbelief. If they aren’t his, why does he look so calm in comparison to me, who is freaking out?“What are you thinking?” He shot Lucian an incredulous look. “If you want to help Roxanne by stopping the haters online, then you can just publicize your relationship with her and issue warning letters through your lawyer. Why would you do this?”If it was revealed that the CEO of Farwell Group had claimed to be the biological father of his ex-wife’s children even though they were not his, no one would believe it. It sounded pretty ridiculous, but that was exactly what Lucian did.“If I only did that, the netizens will still a*sume the worst about the boys’ father.” Displeasure flashed across Lucian’s eyes as he explained, “The kids are innocent. If she’s willing to marry me, it will only be a matter of time before the boys become mine, too.”Lucian knew very well that the last thing Roxanne wanted was to drag the kids into her mess, so he was more than wil

The abandoned Wife The Midnight Revelation
The medicinal herb company owned by the Damaris family was mainly run by their own people, leaving outsiders nothing but envy. Lucian went silent after hearing that.However, that piqued Jonathan’s interest. “Why? Is Roxanne working with the Damaris family again? Do you need my help with anything?”Lucian managed to detect the hint of derision in his voice and snickered. “Go on and acquire the Damaris family’s medicinal herbs company if you’d really like to help.”Jonathan rubbed his nose sheepishly and said, “Well, anything but that.”“Then there’s nothing you can do. Bye.”Lucian hung up the call right after that.Jonathan’s face was full of reproach as he watched his phone screen go dark.That was the second time Lucian had woken him up in the middle of the night and hung up after dropping a bomb on him.It had taken him considerable effort to finally drift off to sleep.Great. It looks like I won’t be able to sleep at all tonight, either!Jonathan lay back down in bed, scrolling
The abandoned Wife The Strategic Pursuit
It was already past nine at night when Roxanne reached home. As she got out of the car, she felt anxious and guilty for leaving the children alone at home.Hence, she hurried into the mansion, but as soon as she entered, she was greeted with the lively sounds of the children playing with each other and running around.Roxanne stopped in her tracks and looked inside the living room, surprised.Initially, she thought Madilyn had come over, but Lucian was sitting on the couch instead.As if sensing her presence, the man turned around to look.When their gazes met, Roxanne’s shock intensified. “What are you doing here?”Didn’t we agree on meeting some other day?Upon noticing her return, the children stopped playing and gathered around her, yearning for affection.“Mommy, you came home so late! Daddy’s been waiting for a long time!”Roxanne ruffled the children’s hair, but her gaze was still locked on Lucian.Lucian sat on the couch, crossing his legs. The button on his collar was undone
The abandoned Wife The Necklace's Dilemma
Lucian had mentioned visiting Roxanne in the past few days, but she rejected him by saying she had work to do. When he heard Estella mention that Roxanne was rarely home, he finally realized how hard she had been working recently.“Are you free tomorrow at noon? Let’s have lunch together,” Lucian suggested.He was determined to let Roxanne get some rest.Roxanne fell silent for a few moments when she heard the time he mentioned before replying apologetically, “Sorry, I’m not free.”Lucian frowned. “Why? Is there work that you have to complete?”Roxanne scratched her nose sheepishly. “I’ve promised to meet up with Mr. Damaris for lunch tomorrow to discuss a project.”Jack Damaris?Lucian’s expression instantly darkened.We’ve hardly been in contact these few days, and yet she’s been contacting him?What the elderlies from the nursing home said echoed in Lucian’s mind once again.After all, he and Roxanne did not work in the same industry.

I can’t believe the Queen family is the culprit! I… I a*sume that with our friendship of years, even if they refuse to help us, at the very least, they won’t hit us when we’re down. Yet, they are the reason we ended up in such a state! If that’s the case, why did Frieda come to our house yesterday? Did she come to shed crocodile tears? Gina glared at her daughter resentfully. “You knew about it, didn’t you?”Aubree’s involvement in the company’s affairs meant that she must have known who the culprit was, yet she still permitted Frieda to visit her, much to Gina’s bafflement.If I knew the Queen family was behind this, I wouldn’t have allowed Frieda to enter our house!Aubree’s eyes had also turned red. “So what if I did know?

At noon the next day, Jonathan brought Frieda shopping. They bought a bunch of gifts before driving to the restaurant where they were supposed to meet Roxanne. The restaurant was near the research institute. Due to the closeness of both locations, Roxanne thought she could head back to do some more work if their meeting ended early.Something in the research institute held her up, so Jonathan and Frieda were already waiting in the private room by the time she arrived.“I’m sorry, Dr. Jarvis. Did I interrupt your work?”Despite addressing Roxanne by her name in front of Lucian, Jonathan was mindful of his behavior and addressed her politely when she was present.Roxanne offered him a polite smile. Her gaze then landed on Frieda, and confusion crossed her eyes.If I’m not mistaken, Frieda never liked me. So why is she here today?Considering how busy she was handling various projects at the research institute, Roxanne did not want to be involved in any trouble.Jonathan rose to his fee
