The abandoned Wife Unspoken Bonds
Estella pouted and was visibly upset. “I can play with the boys. I don’t need you taking care of me, Ms. Jarvis.” Roxanne felt a pounding headache when the little girl insisted on staying. She decided to try a different approach and said softly, “Why don’t you come another day, Essie? I will surely accompany you by then. I really don’t have the time today.”When the little girl was about to say something, Lucian suddenly voiced, “Essie, Ms. Jarvis told you she’s busy. Don’t disturb her further.”As Roxanne had mentioned the Damaris family just now, his tone was rather clipped.Estella was shocked by her father’s icy tone. She widened her eyes innocently and dared not say anything else as she gave Roxanne puppy dog eyes.The cold wind roused Archie and Benny from their grogginess. Likewise, they were taken aback by their father’s tone.The two boys exchanged glances with each other. We’d better not piss Daddy off in the future. He’s so fierce!Roxanne disapproved of Lucian’s stern man
The abandoned Wife Strategic Manoeuvre
At the Pearson residence, a sulking Aubree locked herself in her room. She was so pissed off about the photos Frieda had sent her in the afternoon that she had no appetite for dinner.She did not expect to receive more photos from Frieda when she was about to sleep.In the photos, the man, whom Aubree could not get to meet no matter what she did, was doing all sorts of service for Roxanne—putting his jacket on her, buying her flowers, and holding her wrist.The two looked just like a couple in love.Rage burned in Aubree as she looked at the photos.They were practically disregarding her position as Lucian’s fiancée.If word got out, not only would she be utterly humiliated, but her dream to become Mrs. Farwell would also be shattered.A vicious look crept over Aubree’s face when she thought of that.“That b*tch! Why did she even come back?”She shot up from her bed and flung the things on the table to the ground.Downstairs, Gina was just worrying about her daughter. Earlier, when s
The abandoned Wife Unforeseen Intentions
That same night, Sonya was preparing to go to bed when Gina called her. Right after she picked up the call, she heard Gina sniffling from the other end of the line and Samuel’s shouts in the background.“Gina, what’s wrong? Did you argue with Samuel?” Sonya asked out of concern.Gina looked at the father-daughter duo, who was acting at the side. Then, she took a deep breath and choked out, “Samuel is angry at Aubree. I think you should hurry and come over. Aubree won’t listen to any of us right now, but maybe you can get through to her.”Sonya frowned and listened carefully. Indeed, she could hear Aubree’s sobs in the background.Because of the car accident before, Sonya was very considerate toward Aubree. Upon hearing the latter crying, she felt her heart clench. “Calm down and talk to me properly. What happened? What made them so worked up?”“It’s all because of…” Gina stopped her sentence midway as if she was reluctant to speak. She then sighed loudly and continued, “You should ju
The abandoned Wife Unforeseen Arrangements
“No! I waited for Lucian for six years. Why should I cancel our engagement?” Aubree protested with teary eyes, making sure to look at Lucian pitifully after speaking. Lucian frowned again when he met her eyes.If this were a typical day, he would surely make things clear with the Pearson family.However, he couldn’t do so now since they got into such a big argument because of the matter.Meanwhile, Samuel’s anger barely dissipated when he heard Aubree’s words. He slammed the table furiously and yelled, “If you don’t cancel it, get out of this house! Don’t come back until you come back to your senses. Get out!”Following that, Samuel strode out of the study with a steely face. As he pa*sed by Lucian, he gave the latter a nod.With knitted brows, Lucian watched Samuel leave. In the study, Aubree continued to sob.Gina looked at her husband and then at her daughter. Feeling lost about who she should persuade first, she turned to Lucian in the end. “Lucian, uh… I don’t think Samuel will
The abandoned Wife Fractured Alliances
As the elevator approached the top floor, the doors slowly opened. Lucian immediately returned to his senses. Upon stepping out of the elevator, the sight of the dimly lit corridor made him frown a little.Aubree quietly followed him from behind.When they arrived at the doorway, Lucian inserted the keycard and opened the door for her. He stopped and looked at her indifferently, waiting for her to enter the room herself.Aubree paused, turning to look at the person beside her. She was silently asking why he was not going inside.“You’ll have to make do with this for the next few days. I’ll try to talk things through with Mr. Pearson. Maybe I can make him calm down and see reason,” said Lucian coldly. He had deliberately turned a blind eye to her questioning expression.Having heard this, Aubree became visibly crestfallen. “Lucian, have you really not figured out why I argued with my dad? Is that all you have to say to me?”Lucian’s expression remained as mild as it was before. “You’r
The abandoned Wife Unexpected Visitors
Meanwhile, Roxanne did not have the slightest clue about what Aubree and her mother were planning. The whole day had been spent playing with the children and dealing with Lucian. Hence, Roxanne fell asleep the moment she lay down.However, she was awakened by the phone ringing the next day.In a daze, Roxanne opened her eyes and picked up the phone without looking at who the caller was.“Ms. Jarvis, are you awake? I’ve got something that needs your attention.”She barely had time to take a breather when Jack’s voice broke the silence.Upon realizing that it was Jack, Roxanne suddenly became alert. Curiously, she asked, “Has something happened?”Roxanne rarely had personal dealings with Jack, so she knew that he was likely calling her for a business or medical issue.Regardless, both matters were not to be taken lightly.On that note, Jack broke the silence first. “Do you remember Jamie? That kid from the medical consultation the last time?”Roxanne’s expression immediately turned gra
The abandoned Wife Whispers of Faith: The Healing Promise
Lucian’s gaze darkened slightly at Archie’s reply. Treating a child? Roxanne could be with either Jack or Larry.Lucian clung to the last sliver of hope as he asked Archie and Benny, “Do you remember what the man looked like?”The boys looked at each other. Benny sensibly remained silent and allowed Archie to take the lead.The elder twin replied somberly, “The man looked very handsome and seemed to be on good terms with Mommy.”He hoped it would remind Lucian that their mother had many admirers and spur him to step up his courtship.Sadly, his plan backfired. He did not know Lucian and Roxanne’s relationship had grown tense because of Larry and Jack.Archie’s reply only added to Lucian’s suspicions of Roxanne’s relationship with the two men.He thought of asking the boys for more details but decided against it when he noticed their blank expressions. With his brows still knitted, Lucian asked, “How will you go to school later? Do you need me to give you a lift?”The boys shook their
The abandoned Wife Beneath the Patience of Healing
As time was of the essence, Roxanne forced herself to calm down and asked Jack for an acupuncture kit. She then got to work and administered acupuncture treatment to help stabilize Jamie’s condition and keep his illness under control.Fortunately, it wasn’t Jamie’s first time experiencing such a treatment, so he felt no fear whatsoever when he saw the long needles.Roxanne remembered how Jamie had rather unique acupuncture points. Since he was ill, she made sure to be extra careful when inserting the needles.Her entire forehead was drenched in sweat by the time she completed the acupuncture procedure.“I’ve just spoken to the doctor in charge of Jamie,” Jack called out to her from behind.Roxanne immediately tensed up upon hearing that. “What did he say? Did you manage to obtain any useful information?”“All we know is that Jamie is suffering from some malnutrition,” Jack replied with a frown.Roxanne furrowed her brows as the two of them shifted their gaze toward the director of th
