The abandoned Wife Aubree's Arrival: Turmoil and Promises
At the same time, Roxanne was spending time with the three children in her house. Since Estella headed inside, she had been unhappy. No matter what Roxanne and the other two little ones said to her, the girl still seemed to be low-spirited.“Essie, can you tell me what’s bothering you?” Roxanne stopped playing games with the children and brought Estella over to sit on the carpet.Trailing behind them, Archie and Benny were worried as well.After hearing their mother’s question, the little boys stared at Estella expectantly as they waited for her answer.Estella pursed her lips and thought of Aubree, who was currently staying at her home, before looking at the beautiful Roxanne in front of her.If Ms. Jarvis knows that Ms. Pearson lives in my house, Ms. Jarvis will definitely be upset. Daddy is still pursuing Ms. Jarvis. It’d be bad if she misunderstands…Estella’s expression was filled with hesitation as she considered the consequences.Noticing that Estella seemed to have some conce
The abandoned Wife Clash of Misunderstandings
Lucian hurried to Roxanne’s house to pick up Estella after work that evening. On his way there, Cayden’s words reverberated in Lucian’s mind.Thanks to Cayden, Lucian was reminded that Roxanne had not explained her relationship with Jack yet.Even after he had arrived at Roxanne’s house, Lucian still could not stop thinking about the matter. Thus, displeasure filled his heart.Roxanne was greeted by the man’s cold visage as soon as she opened the door, which got her frozen in place like a statue.I haven’t even given him a piece of my mind about Estella’s matter! What’s with his attitude? He actually has the audacity to show me that gloomy face?“What’s wrong? Is something up at work?” questioned Roxanne, trying to be patient.However, Lucian simply looked past the woman with a deadpan expression before asking, “Where’s Essie? I’m here to take her home.”Roxanne furrowed her eyebrows slightly when she sensed the gloomy aura around Lucian.The three children hurried over the second th

The abandoned Wife Children's Insight: Mending Hearts
Noticing that the two did not enter the room even after some time, the three children couldn’t resist coming outside to check. As soon as they reached the door, they felt the tension between the two adults.“Mommy?” Benny tugged at Roxanne’s clothes cautiously and asked with concern, “Did you get into a fight with Mr. Farwell?”His voice brought Roxanne back to her senses. She composed herself and gave him a faint smile. “No. We just have a disagreement on some things.”After saying that, she threw Lucian a look in hopes that he would keep his composure in front of the children.Fortunately, Lucian cared about the kids enough to soften his expression.He looked down at Estella and said, “Essie, it’s late. It’s time to go home.”Sensing the chilling aura around her father, Estella pouted and shook her head. “No.”Lucian knitted his brows.Before he could say anything, Estella announced, “I want to be with Ms. Jarvis! I don’t want to go home!”She had already made up her mind while she
The abandoned Wife Unraveling Tensions
After seeing Lucian and Estella off, Roxanne returned inside the mansion with Archie and Benny and started preparing for dinner. “Mommy.” The two boys followed her into the kitchen.Roxanne stopped what she was doing and asked, “What is it?”“Why did you fight with Mr. Farwell?” Archie and Benny looked at her intently.Their question caught her off guard. “I didn’t—”She was about to deny the fact that they fought, but she was interrupted by her kids. “We saw everything. You can’t lie to children!”Roxanne was at a loss for words. What’s going on with them today?She had had countless disagreements with Lucian, and Archie and Benny had always been on her side without asking her what had happened.“Did Mr. Farwell make you upset?”Roxanne began to ponder who was at fault in her conflict with Lucian, but she couldn’t figure it out even after some time.In the end, she could only shake her head and explain evasively, “No. I was just talking to Mr. Farwell about Essie, and I started to s
The abandoned Wife Beneath the Surface
Meanwhile, at the Farwell residence, Aubree tiptoed out of Estella’s room while on her phone. “Don’t worry. I’ve used this drug on someone before. It takes effect once the person takes it,” Frieda claimed proudly on the other end of the line.Aubree curled her lips coldly upon hearing that. “That’s good to hear. I’m definitely going to teach her a lesson this time!”Only then did Frieda realize she had forgotten to ask about something. “Aubree, who are you going to use it on?”Feeling impatient, Aubree knitted her brows and uttered indifferently, “That’s none of your business. Anyway, I’m hanging up. Lucian is back.”With that, she hung up, leaving Frieda staring at her phone screen in bewilderment.Aubree entered the bathroom and thoroughly washed her hands twice. Through the window, she saw Lucian’s car roll into the courtyard. She quickly schooled her expression and went downstairs with a smile.Catalina was preparing dinner downstairs. At the sight of Aubree, she greeted her poli
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 Lucian and Estella's Bonds
On the way to the Farwell residence, Estella puffed up her cheeks as she sat in the backseat. She stared at her father through the rearview mirror. “Daddy, did you make Ms. Jarvis angry again?”Lucian frowned slightly when he heard Estella’s soft and adorable voice.Estella caught on to the change in Lucian’s expression and knew that she had guessed correctly. She snorted angrily.She had thought that Lucian wanted to bring her to meet Roxanne.However, it turned out he had gone to create trouble for Roxanne instead.“I won’t listen to you anymore, Daddy!” Estella said gloomily.Lucian’s frown deepened. He patiently explained, “It’s because of work.”It’s this excuse again!Estella looked at the rearview mirror unhappily and said, “You only know how to lie to little kids, Daddy.”Lucian’s eye twitched in anger when he heard that.Estella continued listing out her grievances. “You also said that to me the previous time! Earlier tonight, you tricked me into bringing you to Ms. Jarvis t
The abandoned Wife Family Reunion
Lucian stared at Roxanne with a grim expression. Even if she did not say it out explicitly, he could tell that she was still being suspicious of him.Realizing that, Lucian’s expression darkened terribly, while the tone of his voice became colder.“Since you are refusing my offer, Ms. Jarvis, I won’t insist upon it anymore.”With that, he turned around and left the study.As she watched his retreating figure, Roxanne’s eyes glinted with an unfathomable emotion. Confusion filled her heart at that moment.Lucian’s words still left her wondering why he had decided to come all the way to see her in the first place.She wouldn’t believe his claim that he was merely here to provide the medicinal herbs.However, Lucian did not mention anything else besides that.Roxanne mulled over it in the study alone, but she could not find an answer to her doubts.After quite some time, she finally decided to leave the room.Meanwhile, the children had finished their dinner and were playing in the livin
The abandoned Wife Tensions Rise: A Confrontation of Suspicion and Intentions
Roxanne could feel Lucian’s heavy gaze on her back. Although her back was facing him, she still could not ignore the fact he was staring at her.Due to Lucian’s presence, she was no longer in the mood to eat anything.“You kids go ahead. I have something to discuss with Mr. Farwell,” said Roxanne softly after taking several quick bites and placing away her cutleries.She could not stand having Lucian staring at her all the time, and she wanted to know why he came to her place.The kids did not think too much about that and nodded obediently in response.Seeing that the kids had agreed to let her go, Roxanne stood up and walked over to Lucian. “Let’s talk in the study.”Lucian nodded casually and stood up, following her to the study.“Mr. Farwell, to what do I owe this pleasure of having you over at my place? Do you have something important to tell me?” Roxanne stood in the center of the study, looking at him warily. “If you’re here to offer me the technical advisor’s position for Her
The abandoned Wife Dinning With Lucian
That night, Lucian went to the kindergarten to pick Estella up. It was already late by the time he arrived, so Estella was the only kid left at the kindergarten.“Daddy,” Estella greeted him aggrievedly after noticing his arrival.He patted her head apologetically. “I’m sorry that I’m late.”Then, he looked up and nodded at Pippa.Pippa had waited with Estella the whole night. Now that Lucian had finally shown up, she could rest a*sured and let him take the little girl home.After bringing Estella into the car, Lucian sat idly for some time instead of starting the vehicle.Estella urged him in puzzlement, “Daddy?” Her voice pulled him back to reality.He glanced at the little girl through the rearview mirror and saw a bewildered expression spread across her face.“Have you seen Ms. Jarvis in the past few days?” he asked.Estella became crestfallen upon listening to his question and shook her head dejectedly.However, she quickly turned delighted. “Archie and Benny said I’ll be able t
The abandoned Wife Heartfelt Advice and Unspoken Resolves
Jonathan cleared his throat at Lucian’s lack of response.“I heard a fire broke out in Dr. Jarvis’ research institute two days ago.”Hearing that, Lucian snapped his brows together.Jonathan was satisfied to see his response. “What’s the matter? Did you not know about this?”Lucian nodded, his expression somber.He had not seen Roxanne since the kiss the other night.Therefore, he knew nothing of what happened to her.Although Estella would try to get news about Roxanne from Archie and Benny before telling her father what she learned, Lucian knew that Roxanne would not let the boys know that she had been in danger.Jonathan fell silent when he saw his friend’s grim expression, and he waited for Lucian to speak instead.“Was the fire a bad one? Was she hurt?” Lucian could not help but ask.Jonathan lifted a brow. “Won’t you know if you go and take a look at her?”At that, Lucian’s expression turned dark again.Jonathan was bewildered by that.What does this mean? Did they have a fight

When the a*sistant thought about how Jack had invested twelve billion in Herbscape Group, he found himself unable to continue speaking. Despite everything, twelve billion was a hefty sum.Even if Herbscape Group was a hot potato, keeping it around meant that they would be able to see where the twelve billion was going.If they threw the hot potato away, it would mean throwing the twelve billion into the gutters.“Do tell me how you’re planning to deal with this,” Jack urged with a frown.Jack’s voice snapped the a*sistant back to his senses, and he had no choice but to steel himself and continue.“If we keep Herbscape Group around, I’m afraid it’ll affect Damaris Group’s reputation, so…”Jack arched a brow.The a*sistant squeezed out, “So, the best way to deal with this is to cut ties with Herbscape Group as quickly as we can.”It’s even better if we do it before the news of Herbscape Group’s executives landing in jail spreads.That was what Jack thought as well, though his heart ach

Only after hearing Colby’s response did Roxanne relax slightly. “I see. I’ll leave it to you, then. Feel free to come to me if you need anything,” she said.Colby agreed.Roxanne couldn’t help adding emotionally, “If you can find those medicinal herbs again, you’ll solve a huge problem for me.”Finally, Colby felt chirpy upon hearing Roxanne’s tone.Ever since Roxanne went to the research institute, she had been solving all kinds of problems on her own.She would only let him, the person in charge of the research institute, help her with trivial matters.Therefore, Colby knew that despite her praises, she had always only regarded him as an ordinary researcher at the research institute.After all, he was nothing compared to the men she had by her side.This time around, he was rather surprised at the fact that it didn’t take much to trick Roxanne into holding him in high regard.No one would’ve expected him to do so much just to create a distance between Roxanne and other men.

By the time he arrived at the entrance, the firefighters were already at the scene.Jason couldn’t help but slap himself twice across the face when he recalled the burnt storage and what Roxanne had said.“This is my fault, Dr. Jarvis. I’m so stupid!” Utterly embarra*sed, he asked, “Since I’ve come forward on my own, c-could you please let the matter slide? My son is still in the hospital…”Roxanne dug her fingers into her palms to force herself to stay calm. “That’s not up to me, Dr. Coleman.”“This matter is being investigated by the police. Jason, how could you be so foolish?”
The abandoned Wife The Desperation Pact
In the research area, the researchers had just regained their composure from the fire incident earlier and got back to work. When they saw two people walking in, they stopped what they were doing in unison.With a grim expression, Roxanne swept a glance at everyone and asked, “Did anyone come to the research institute yesterday afternoon?”Coincidentally, the surveillance cameras were down, so Roxanne could only a*sume that someone had gone over at that time.As soon as those words fell, everyone exchanged glances with each other silently. Yesterday was a Sunday. It was such a good opportunity to rest at home. So why would anyone come to the research institute without a reason?
