The abandoned Wife Negotiating Trust
Roxanne was at a loss for words upon noticing how downhearted they were. Thankfully, Archie and Benny knew their mother could not bear to leave Estella either. Although they were upset, they eventually regained their composure and continued finishing their dinner, sensibly not uttering another word.By the time Roxanne finished her dinner, she had drained every last bit of her energy. The two boys went upstairs to rest as they were not in the mood to play anymore.Watching them sleep, Roxanne gently stroked their cheeks and whispered, “Sorry, darlings.”At such a young age, Archie and Benny had to travel from one place to another because of her.By right, these boys deserved a better life. Had she told Lucian the truth, the Farwell family would for sure take them back, and they would be able to enjoy all the privileges.Yet, Roxanne chose to keep them by her side.She had worked hard over the years to make it up to the boys, but it seemed what she did was far from enough.After watch
The abandoned Wife Unsettled Resentments
At the end of the day, the man was from Queen Group. Since Jonathan had left the matter to that man’s hand, that meant he was also one of Jonathan’s men. Therefore, Roxanne was not going to put him in a tough spot. What she said earlier was merely a reminder for him that the research institute was not easy to deal with and for him to put in more effort into the matter in the future. Coming back to his sense, Rex let out a loud sigh of relief. He then quickly held Roxanne’s hand, nodding vigorously. “Of course, of course!”Roxanne flashed him a polite smile. “I look forward to working with you, then.”Rex wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and agreed to her words fervently.On the other side, Colby was done with counting the herbs. He then asked the employees to move the boxes in before he walked over to the other two people.Clearly, Rex had done similar jobs before, for he quickly handed Colby the document when he saw the other man approaching them.Colby glanced at Roxanne.

The abandoned Wife Unspoken Ties
“Do you still think you’ve done nothing wrong?” Jonathan could figure out what she was thinking with just one glance. With a cold look, he put down the documents in his hands and gravely looked at the young woman in front of him.Frieda frowned. “I didn’t do anything wrong. The one targeting Roxanne was Mrs. Farwell, not me. I was just working on her instructions.”“Mrs. Farwell told you herself not to supply any herbs to Dr. Jarvis’ research institute?” Jonathan sternly questioned, causing Frieda to jump in fright.She tensed for a second, but she was quick to relax again. Then, she steeled herself and replied, “Even if Mrs. Farwell didn’t tell me that, I know what she wants. Furthermore, we’re in a good relationship with Farwell Group. Shouldn’t we help Mrs. Farwell?”Before Jonathan could speak, Frieda continued, “Jonathan, remember that Roxanne left without a word; she only left behind divorce papers. Mrs. Farwell hasn’t settled the score with her yet. Aren’t we, the people who k
The abandoned Wife Veiled Struggles
The atmosphere in the room turned tense. Jonathan discreetly shuddered and pondered if he should continue.“Why are you asking about that?” Lucian glanced at him.Jonathan cleared his throat before replying with as much nonchalance as he could muster, “When she came to give Grandpa a checkup yesterday, I suddenly recalled that you were on good terms with her, so I wanted to ask you about it. If you rarely talk to her, then…”Then I’m not going to bother myself with the matter anymore.Before Jonathan could finish his sentence, the other man’s eyes darkened.Jonathan was certain that Lucian would decipher what was going on soon. Hence, he halted and gave Lucian a confused look. “What’s the matter, Lucian?”“Do you want to court her?” Lucian’s brows were tightly knitted, and Jonathan could see the traces of annoyance in them.His question rendered Jonathan dumbfounded and speechless.What have I said to make him think this way?Indeed, Roxanne was a nice woman, but Jonathan knew well a
The abandoned Wife The Unseen Threads
Cayden took quite some time before he could reel in from the shock. The first thing he did after that was to report to Lucian. Meanwhile, Lucian did not speak after ending the call with Cayden. Jonathan was no fool, so he quietly ate the food that had turned cold.When Lucian’s phone lit up again, Jonathan whipped his head toward it.Lucian answered the call swiftly.“Mr. Farwell, I have the findings,” Cayden started cautiously.“Who did this?” Lucian asked in a deep voice.Cayden hesitantly replied, “It’s… Mrs. Farwell.”Lucian lowered his gaze when he heard that, but no surprise crossed his face.Ever since Jonathan told him about the matter, he could somewhat guess who was behind it. Instructing Cayden to look into it was just to make sure his speculation was right.“Understood.” Lucian then expressionlessly ended the call.The temperature in the room had almost dropped below zero by then.Jonathan opened his mouth to say something, but Lucian’s voice came first.“When did you fin
The abandoned Wife Collaborative Ressolve
However, Jonathan had been harboring a thought ever since he learned that Roxanne was Lucian’s ex-wife who had left without a word, and he could not help but ask it at that moment. “What relationship does Dr. Jarvis have with Essie? I’ve never seen Essie so reliant on anyone.”Even though Jonathan did not say it out loud, Lucian could guess what Jonathan was trying to ask. Hence, he mildly replied, “Essie’s her daughter.”Jonathan had long guessed that, but hearing it from Lucian was another matter. It took Jonathan a while to come back to his senses after hearing Lucian’s response.The time Roxanne left and Estella’s age, along with how close Estella was with Roxanne, made Jonathan suspect that Estella was Roxanne’s daughter.However, it seemed Roxanne treated Estella like any ordinary child whenever they interacted, so Jonathan dared not jump to any conclusions about that.Thus, he was perplexed to hear Lucian’s confession.So Dr. Jarvis doesn’t know about this? She gave birth to t
The abandoned Wife Benevolent Connections
Jonathan could see that Roxanne was worried, and he could decipher what she was worried about, so he rephrased his words. “Queen Group won’t have a falling out with Farwell Group because of something trivial as this, and I won’t risk Queen Group either. Naturally, I’ve made all the preparations before coming here to talk about this with you.” The hesitance on Roxanne’s face slowly faded away as she stared at his confident expression. However, she still could not stop herself from asking, “But why are you helping me out? Is it just because I cured Old Mr. Queen’s illness?”When Jonathan thought about his conversation with Lucian the night before, the thoughts he had whilst he looked into Roxanne’s eyes changed.However, Roxanne only felt strange as she stared back at him.Half a beat later, Jonathan slowly stated, “My grandpa had been bedbound for years, and it’s all thanks to you, Dr. Jarvis, that he can recover to this point. Moreover, you’ve said before that my grandpa was already
The abandoned Wife Eroded Trust
Ignoring their responses, Roxanne proceeded to sit down in front of Jonathan.When Jonathan saw that Lucian was still standing there, he stated quickly, “Lucian, since Dr. Jarvis doesn’t mind, join us. Recently, Dr. Jarvis’ research institute has encountered some problems. You may be able to help her!”Lucian merely frowned before sitting down.Since Roxanne did not run away upon seeing him, he decided to stay on as well.However, Roxanne acted as if Lucian was not there after inviting him to join them. When the dishes were served, she raised her gla*s and remarked, “Thank you for helping me out with the herb suppliers, Mr. Queen.”Jonathan did not make a big deal out of it. Clinking gla*ses with her, he responded, “You’re most welcome, Dr. Jarvis. I’m not the only one who has helped you with regard to this issue.”Upon hearing that, Roxanne frowned, as she did not understand what he meant.Jonathan was about to say more when someone glared at him.Sensing Lucian’s stare, Jonathan act
