The abandoned Wife Whispers in the Night and Handcrafted Affection
In the room, Estella felt upset when she thought of Aubree’s expression the moment she walked through the door just now. I really don’t want to stay with Ms. Pearson, but Daddy won’t tell me when he will chase her away.After dwelling on that for quite some time, Estella couldn’t hold it back anymore and called Roxanne.Thankfully, Roxanne answered the call rather quickly.“Essie, what’s the matter?” When Roxanne saw that it was a call from Estella, she couldn’t help but feel her heart clench. She was afraid that Aubree had bullied her again.Hearing Roxanne’s voice, Estella felt even more aggrieved. She mumbled sadly, “Ms. Jarvis, can you pick me up from my house?”Roxanne frowned, her eyes filled with concern. “Why? Did Ms. Pearson get mad at you?”Estella shook her head. “Daddy is here. She wouldn’t dare.”Only then did Roxanne feel at ease. “Why did you ask me to fetch you, then?” she asked caringly.It had not been long since Lucian brought Estella back. She thought Estella had
The abandoned Wife Red Spots and Worries: Seeking Comfort
Late that night, Lucian came out of the study after finishing his work. All the lights on the first floor had been turned off, and only the lights along the second-floor corridor were still on.While walking past the door to Estella’s room, he vaguely heard some movement inside the room, and his heart sank.Recalling the aversion Estella had shown toward Aubree, he was worried Estella was secretly crying in her room because she was upset he did not tell Aubree to leave.Thinking of that, Lucian quietly opened the door to Estella’s room, padded over to her bedside, and peeped at her.Under the glow of the lights in the corridor, he saw that she seemed asleep. However, it did not look like she was getting a good night’s rest as she kept tossing and turning. She was also scratching at her body to the point that her pajamas had ridden up.Lucian’s brows drew together sharply as he took in the scene before him.I thought at first that she must be having a bad dream, but why is it that she
The abandoned Wife Unforeseen Contagion
Meanwhile, although the light in Aubree’s room had been turned off, she had yet to go to sleep. Aubree waited until she saw Lucian carry Estella to the car and slowly drive out of the Farwell residence before tiptoeing around her room to gather some things. Then, she opened the door and crept to Estella’s room.Lucian had left in such a hurry that he did not even close the door to Estella’s room, which only made things easier for Aubree.Using the glow from her phone screen to see what she was doing, she switched out a few things inside Estella’s bathroom. After scanning the room carefully and ensuring nothing appeared out of the ordinary, she left quietly.Back in her room, the thought of the distressed look on Estella’s face filled her heart with glee.That little brat… Let’s see if she dares to go against me again!Meanwhile, Estella’s condition did not get any better as they made their way to Roxanne’s house. She could not refrain from occasionally reaching out to rake her nails
The abandoned Wife Symptoms and Sudden Concern
At the sight of Lucian’s condition, Roxanne couldn’t help frowning. Conversely, Estella merely heard that her condition was contagious but didn’t see the red spots on Lucian’s body. She shrunk to the side pitifully, refusing to allow the two adults to touch her further.Gathering her wits about her, Roxanne dipped her eyes. When she saw Estella curled up in a ball, her heart clenched painfully. “Come over here, Essie. Let me have a look at you.”Estella shook her head, replying timidly, “No, it’s okay. I’ll infect you, Ms. Jarvis.”Her words had Roxanne’s eyes stinging. Smiling, she coaxed, “I’m not afraid. I’ve treated patients with similar conditions in the past and have suffered from this condition previously. Therefore, I won’t be infected anymore.”Even Lucian was momentarily stupefied to hear that, mistakenly a*suming that she was speaking the truth.Estella scrutinized Roxanne suspiciously for a long time. Only when she had ascertained that the latter didn’t seem to be lying,
The abandoned Wife Entwined Fates: An Unexpected Encounter
“What’s the matter, Dr. Jarvis?” Colby had just fallen asleep when he was jolted awake by Roxanne’s call. When he glimpsed the caller ID, he immediately answered the call.Hearing his voice, Roxanne furtively breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn’t the time to exchange pleasantries with him, so she cut to the chase. “If it isn’t too much trouble, can you make a trip to the research institute right now?”At that, Colby sat up from the bed. “Is there anything important?”While saying that, he had already started changing without waiting for her reply.He knew that there must be something crucial that she was calling at that hour, but he wanted to know the specifics.Roxanne glanced at the three children in the room, her voice grave. “I have kids here who developed an allergic reaction due to bacterial infection. The spray we formulated back then might be effective, but I’m really needed here. As such, I can only seek your help.”Having said that, she added, “Forget it if it’s too much tr
The abandoned Wife The Unspoken Tension
Fortunately, the spray they formulated worked in no time. Mere seconds after Roxanne sprayed the children all over, they stopped itching, simply in a daze from the high fever.After spraying them all over, she turned and looked at the man behind her. She handed the spray in her hand to him. “Go and deal with it in the bathroom, Mr. Farwell.”Dipping his head slightly, Lucian took the spray and went into the bathroom.Roxanne, on the other hand, opened another bottle of spray and sprayed herself in the bedroom.Having done that, she sprayed the room. Then, she took some disinfectant upstairs and sanitized the room.When she had finished sanitizing the place, Lucian so happened to step out of the bathroom.At the sight of her bustling around in the bedroom, he strode forward with a frown, planning to help.“Carry the kids out. This room has to be left unoccupied for two days,” Roxanne instructed, noticing his intention.Upon hearing that, Lucian swiftly changed directions. He carried t
The abandoned Wife The Unyielding Embrace
“What exactly are your thoughts about me?” Lucian’s voice was a touch hoarse.He started feigning sleep right when he heard Roxanne coming out of her room. In his hurry, he forgot all about the blanket he had flipped open halfway.Never had he expected her to actually come over and attempt to tuck the blanket around him.Just a while ago, he was feeling irritable thanks to her relationship with another man, but earlier, his heart melted because of the hint of tenderness she showed him.Roxanne was stunned for several seconds. Promptly snapping back to her senses, she automatically lifted her hands to shove at him. To her surprise, the man’s grip on her tightened, making it so that she couldn’t struggle at all.Lucian’s voice continued echoing beside her ear. “When are you planning to accept me?”At his question, Roxanne’s eyes constricted imperceptibly. Snapping her head to the side, she gaped at the man who was an inch away from her. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her voice turned
The abandoned Wife Echoes of the Night
Frightened, Roxanne truly did as he said and remained still for a long while. After coming back to her senses, she began struggling again.In the next second, Lucian pinned her beneath him.“I’ve already warned you, but still, you couldn’t stay still. If you were to wriggle around again this time, I wouldn’t be able to make any promises about what would happen.” He leaned close to her, his eyes narrowing dangerously.Roxanne’s heart tightened as she stared at the man’s countenance that was mere inches away from her. She wanted to struggle, but she was worried about his words earlier.Just as she was at a loss, sudden movement sounded from the children’s room out of the blue.Both their breaths caught.As the sounds of the footsteps drew increasingly nearer to the door, Lucian’s brows scrunched together. Dropping his hold on the woman in his arms, he resumed a proper sitting position expressionlessly.Finally, Roxanne was free of the man’s restraint. Before she could breathe a sigh of
