The abandoned Wife Fragments of the Past: Unraveling Relations
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the living room turned tense.Noticing that both Roxanne and Lucian didn’t seem like they were willing to start a conversation, Jonathan’s head started hurting. He had gone through so much just to create an opportunity for them to meet, but it seemed like it was not helpful at all.Jonathan had no idea why Lucian agreed to this in the first place.Even with a headache, Jonathan still had to do something to liven up the atmosphere.“The medical consultation with the Damaris family is this weekend. How are your preparations, Dr. Jarvis?” This was Jonathan’s attempt in starting a conversation.Roxanne pursed her lips and smiled. “I’ve already prepared whatever I could think of. If there aren’t any unexpected incidents, it should go along smoothly even if I don’t perform extraordinarily.”Jonathan glanced at the man sitting next to him, hoping that he would at least contribute to the conversation.Alas, his hopes were crushed as Lucian acted as though he did no

Lucian’s brows knitted into a tight knot as he replied in a low voice, “Okay. I’ll do my best to control myself.”Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk toward Alfred’s room. “I think that Grandpa should be awake now. Let’s go inside. To be honest, he will be incredibly happy to see you since you have not been able to visit for a long time.”“I really was pretty busy recently,” Lucian said as he caught up with Jonathan.“And yet, you still had the time to go to Summerbank with Dr. Jarvis,” Jonathan teased.When Lucian recalled the events that had happened in that particular city, his face darkened. “I just happen to have work to take care of in Summerbank.”Jonathan smiled wordlessly.The two men walked over to Alfred’s room, and Jonathan raised a hand to knock on the door. After hearing Alfred’s voice from inside the room, they opened the door and walked in.“Grandpa, Lucian is here to see you,” Jonathan said to Alfred with a smile after entering the room.“Hello, Old

After watching Roxanne leave, Lucian’s gaze darkened. The next moment, he stood up casually and said, “Old Mr. Queen, I suddenly remembered that I have to settle something at the office. I’m really relieved to see that you’re recovering well. If there’s nothing else, I shall make a move too.”Alfred furrowed his brows slightly when he heard that. He remembered Lucian telling him that he was free those two days. As such, he found it strange that the man suddenly said that he was busy.However, Alfred was understanding, knowing that Lucian was responsible for the entire Farwell Group.“I had wanted to ask you to stay for dinner, but since you’re busy, I won’t keep you here any longer. You should get going now. Work is more important,” Alfred said before continuing earnestly, “Remember to get enough rest and take care of your health.”Lucian agreed and turned to leave.When Jonathan saw that his friend was going off, he stood up immediately and followed Lucian. “Wait! I’ll walk you out.”

After hearing what Frieda said, Jonathan subconsciously turned to look at Alfred.Alfred appeared puzzled.They were happily chatting not too long ago. Then, Lucian said something had cropped up at work and left hurriedly. Yet, why did Frieda say he had appeared angry?Judging from Frieda’s demeanor, Lucian was clearly quite annoyed. Did something happen at work?On the other hand, Jonathan could guess what had happened. He knew Lucian must have argued with Roxanne again.Although he tried his best to create opportunities for the both of them to patch up, it seemed pointless as all their meetings would always end with an argument.I wonder if they are sick of fighting so much because I sure am tired of watching them do that.Looking at Jonathan and Alfred’s reactions, Frieda was baffled.At first, she thought Lucian was irked with the two of them. However, she realized then they were not the cause of his irritation.So why is he so angry? He did not even react when I brought up Aubree

The night before the medical consultation, Roxanne inevitably felt nervous.After dinner, she headed to her study early and planned to go through all the information she had gathered over the past few days.Only a few minutes had pa*sed when she heard a knock on her door.Roxanne looked up from her laptop and called out, “Come in.”As soon as she spoke, Archie and Benny pushed open the door and walked in with a smile.Archie had a cup of coffee while Benny carried a plate with a slice of cake.Carefully, the two children placed the things down on the table. “Thank you, Darlings,” Roxanne cooed as she lovingly ruffled their hair.Archie and Benny grinned before curiously peeking at Roxanne’s screen.When they were abroad, the boys spent much of their childhood in the research institute. Having been in that environment, they had acquired some basic knowledge, so they had a rough idea of what was easy or difficult.After reading some of the information on Roxanne’s laptop, the children q

When they arrived in front of the director’s office, Larry coincidentally came out from it. Upon spotting Roxanne, he chuckled and waved to her. “Did you just arrive?”Roxanne nodded. She wanted to share what had happened earlier. However, there was no time to tell him about it.“Mr. Damaris is waiting inside, and you should head in soon. This year, not many prestigious families recommended others here. It might only be us two,” Larry stated.Roxanne was slightly confused by his words. She did not understand how that made a difference.Before she could ask more, the employee knocked on the office door and invited her in. Quickly, Roxanne had to calm herself and prepare to head inside.The moment she entered the door, she spotted a skinny young man. Perhaps because of how thin he was, his features were more prominent.“Mr. Damaris, this is Dr. Jarvis. The Queen family recommended her,” the employee introduced.The man slowly looked up at Roxanne.When she met his gaze, Roxanne respectf

Roxanne walked into her cubicle briskly. There was already another doctor waiting there. When he saw that she was just a young woman, he thought that she was merely a useless person whom the family had recommended. Hence, he ignored her.Larry followed her in.There were two to three doctors in each cubicle, as well as someone from the Damaris family.Their cubicle was the most well-equipped out of all the cubicles. There were two doctors recommended by the prestigious family and a famous traditional medicine doctor. Even Jack was accompanying them personally.When Larry entered, Daniel Hopp’s expression changed. Smiling, he welcomed Larry. “Mr. Morrison, it’s been a long time.”Larry nodded calmly. “Long time no see, Dr. Hopp.”Daniel grinned at him in a flattering manner. He kept following behind Larry and showering him with care. However, he ignored Roxanne completely.Roxanne did not mind his coldness. Instead, she focused on checking all the equipment. Then, she nodded at Jack, w

When Daniel heard Larry’s words, he completely lost all anger. Although he kept quiet timidly, he still could not help but look down on Roxanne.He was one of the top doctors in Chanaea’s traditional medicine scene. Other than those from a few prestigious families, any other traditional medicine doctor would treat him with the utmost respect.He also knew the other famous traditional medicine doctors in Chanaea.However, he had no idea who Roxanne was. It was evident that she was no one spectacular.If she didn’t have Mr. Morrison and Mr. Damaris backing her up, she wouldn’t have dared to speak to me like that!Looking at how Daniel had relented, Larry turned back and nodded at Roxanne to rea*sure her.Roxanne said gratefully, “Thank you, Larry. Don’t worry; I’m doing great now.”Initially, she was quite nervous. However, due to Daniel’s provocation, her anxiety had now been replaced with fury. All she wanted to do was to prove herself to Daniel and erase his prejudice toward her.Lar

The abandoned Wife Bonds of Protection: A Mother's Intervention
Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief. She could see that although Estella was a bit out of place, the other children approached her enthusiastically and played with her.Yet before she could feel totally at ease, she saw Estella letting out a yelp.The children who were skipping around also halted their actions one by one.Feeling her heart tighten, Roxanne instinctively looked in Pamela’s direction.Something was obviously wrong with Estella, and Pamela could probably see that from where she was standing.However, there was a child who wouldn’t stop crying next to Pamela. Although she did notice a small commotion over here, she was occupied with coaxing the child beside her.Left with no choice, Roxanne turned back to Estella and observed her worriedly.The girl hung her head low as she ma*saged her hand on her lap.Roxanne could only see Estella’s actions vaguely from her spot, but she could guess that the latter was hurt.Upon realizing that, Roxanne felt a little distressed.

The abandoned Wife Mother's Resolve: A Tale of Concern and Determination
Roxanne was surprised by her son’s words. She knew they had always been very sensible and had always taken good care of Estella.However, what she didn’t expect was that they had been thinking about this even more than she did.Benny chimed in sweetly, “Mommy, please talk to Mr. Farwell about this. We’re worried that Essie might get bullied, and we won’t be there to protect her.”Roxanne felt her chest tighten at the mention of Estella being bullied.She recalled the incident when Estella had been bullied by her cla*smates when Archie and Benny first entered the cla*sroom.Back then, the boys had stepped forward to protect Estella and helped her to smoothen things over with her cla*smates.However, now that Estella was in a new kindergarten, she no longer had any playmates she was familiar with. Roxanne was worried that if Archie and Benny weren’t beside Estella, the past would repeat itself.There’s a possibility that it would be just like what the boys said. Estella would be ostrac
The abandoned Wife Family Struggles and Little Voices: A Tale of Misunderstandings
Meanwhile, Estella and Pamela were the only ones left at the kindergarten entrance. “Essie, who’s coming to pick you up today? Were you always picked up so late in your previous kindergarten?” Pamela patiently clarified the matter with Estella, for it was the first time she had encountered such a situation.Estella pursed her lips in silence as if she didn’t hear Pamela at all.It was never her desire to come to the new kindergarten, and now that she was left to wait for a long time, she couldn’t help but feel depressed.Just when Pamela was wondering whether to give Lucian a call, a car gradually rolled up beside them.Aubree alighted from it with an anxious expression on her face.“I’m sorry for being late, Ms. Yaxley. Traffic was really bad.” After speaking to Pamela, she gave Estella an apologetic look. “I’m sorry to have made you wait, Essie. I’ll definitely come earlier next time!”Estella continued to pout in silence.Seeing that, Pamela defused the situation with a smile. “It

Jack froze for a few seconds before coming to some kind of realization and agreeing to it. The two of them then went out of the research institute.A look of delight danced across Colby’s face when he saw them leave.Ever since Jack came for Roxanne, Colby had been keeping his focus on the two.Therefore, he saw the look of struggle on Roxanne’s face.Evidently, what he had said in the morning was effective.Meanwhile, Roxanne came to a stop in her tracks at the entrance of the institute with mixed feelings still surging in her heart. In the meantime, Jack stopped behind her.“Sorry.” Roxanne had calmed herself down on their way out and realized that she had been a little too carried away earlier.Jack raised a brow and teased, “What’s the matter? Why are you apologizing to me all of a sudden? You couldn’t have secretly done something terrible to the project, could you, Ms. Jarvis?”Roxanne shook her head immediately. “Of course not.”I’ve done so much for this project. Why would I d
The abandoned Wife Entangled Fates: Navigating Relationships and Misunderstandings
Estella looked at her father, who was already at the door and turned to look at Aubree, who was still standing by the couch. A few moments pa*sed, and the little girl finally begrudgingly got out of her chair and jogged to keep up with Lucian.Aubree let out a relieved sigh and caught up to them as well.“Daddy,” Estella mumbled. She gave her father a puppy-eyed look and tugged at the corner of his shirt in a bid to curry favor with her father.Lucian lowered his gaze to meet Estella’s. He lifted his hand and patted her head. “I’m really busy lately. Please don’t throw a tantrum at me.”Estella pursed her lips in disapproval, refusing to believe what he said.She knew as a matter of fact that Lucian was in a bad mood because he had quarreled with Roxanne.Estella was flabbergasted that Lucian was still trying to lie to her, despite the fact that even she knew the real reason her father was upset.Why are adults so weird? Why doesn’t Daddy just make up with Ms. Jarvis?Of course, Luci

Cory was in a good mood, knowing he had once again made a fortune. He then said, “Of course. Ms. Pearson, I’m sure you’ve come to me again because you believe in my capabilities. Now, tell me. What is it that you want me to investigate?” Narrowing her eyes, Aubree said, “Investigate what happened between Roxanne and Lucian!”Cory let out a meaningful chuckle when he heard what she said.Aubree questioned coldly, “Why are you laughing?”As if unaware of her anger, Cory muttered, “Since you’ve agreed to the price I proposed so readily, I have to show you something.”With that, he took out a phone from the bag beside him and typed away on the screen.Soon, Aubree received a few messages on her phone.“I believe what you’re about to see won’t disappoint you, Ms. Pearson.” Cory sounded confident.Aubree furrowed her brows and swiped open her phone, checking the messages he sent.The chat interface showed that Cory had sent her more than ten pictures.Each picture was attached with the tim

Aubree followed Estella closely into the room. Hesitantly, she muttered, “Lucian…” She felt somewhat guilty when she noticed the young girl fuming at Lucian.At the same time, she was relieved that Estella had not said a word to her father.Lucian nodded at Aubree and said, “Sorry for troubling you to look after Essie.”Aubree was delighted by his words. She sputtered, “Not at all. I’m happy to do this. Essie’s a lovely girl.”As for how she upset Estella in the car earlier, Aubree decided to sweep things under the rug if the young girl kept things to herself.“Dinner’s ready. Why don’t you eat with us?” Lucian offered.Aubree was over the moon. “Sure.”They entered the dining room one after another.Catalina had already set the table for three.Aubree said, “I’ll go get Essie.”Despite her suggestion, she was not confident about coaxing Estella downstairs.After all, the young girl was put out because of Aubree, and she might not listen to her instructions.If she throws a tantrum i
The abandoned Wife Family Fractures: Navigating Relationships and Misunderstandings
Archie and Benny stayed in the bathroom for a little while longer before heading out. Roxanne was still chatting with Jack at the time.She had wanted to get him to leave as soon as possible, but Jack started talking about the ancient medicine books halfway through the conversation.Due to Roxanne’s incredible pa*sion for medicine, she couldn’t help but get carried away talking about it again.It wasn’t until Lysa told them dinner was ready that she snapped out of it.“Would you like to stay for dinner, Mr. Damaris?” Roxanne asked out of courtesy.Jack arched an eyebrow when he saw Archie and Benny standing next to the kitchen.They were both glaring daggers at him and looked like they would tear him to pieces if he accepted her invitation.Because they were still kids, they just looked adorable no matter how fierce their expressions were.Jack couldn’t help but smile in amusement as he drawled suspensefully, “Thank you for the invitation, Ms. Jarvis. I—”He was halfway through his s
The abandoned Wife Unspoken Tensions: Navigating Family Dynamics
In the kindergarten, Archie and Benny sat in their seats quietly while the other children were playing games with Pippa. They could sense something was off when Roxanne said she would send them to school that morning.It wasn’t until Roxanne handed them over to Pippa that they noticed Roxanne glancing at the crowd from time to time as if she was looking for someone.When Pippa led them into the school, they looked back and saw Roxanne still looking around.Although Archie and Benny said nothing, they knew Roxanne was looking for Lucian and Estella.Mommy must feel terrible after the fight with Daddy that day.At the thought of Roxanne’s sadness and disappointment, Archie and Benny’s moods were gloomy, too.“Archie, Benny, what’s wrong?”Seeing the listless look on the boys’ faces, Pippa walked over to comfort them, “Are you missing Estella?”At the mention of Estella, Archie and Benny’s faces immediately fell. I wonder how Essie is doing…“Don’t worry. Mr. Farwell will take good care
