The abandoned Wife Midnight Revelations
After ending the call and noticing that it was about time, Roxanne headed downstairs to prepare dinner for the children. Archie and Benny were sitting on the carpet, playing with Lego.When they saw their mother, they exchanged a brief glance, but they did not continue bombarding her with questions.“I have work to do tomorrow night. Aunt Madilyn will be keeping you company, okay?” Roxanne told Archie and Benny about the arrangements for the tomorrow night over dinner.Upon hearing that, they looked at her in puzzlement. “Why do you have to leave at night? Is it a business-related social event?”Roxanne had never hidden anything about work from Archie and Benny. She said patiently, “There are new developments for the project that I’m working on with Mr. Damaris. I need to attend a contract signing ceremony tomorrow.”Archie and Benny looked at each other as the same question surfaced in their minds. “Will Mr. Damaris be there too?”We still remember Mr. Damaris! He’s Daddy’s love riv

The following night, after getting ready, Roxanne headed downstairs and prepared to leave to meet Jack. The moment she descended the stairs, however, Archie and Benny stopped her. “Mommy, isn’t Mr. Damaris picking you up?” Despite waiting for a long while, they saw no signs of Lucian. They had no choice but to think of ways to stall for time. Roxanne was confused when she heard their question. “Mr. Damaris wants to meet our collaborators early, so I’m going there by myself. What’s wrong?” Unable to think of a response on the spot, Archie and Benny exchanged a look, then flashed a grin and shamelessly blocked Roxanne’s path. “What’s up with you two?” Roxanne bent down and stared into their eyes. Archie and Benny fell silent again. “But Mommy, Aunt Madilyn hasn’t arrived yet,” Archie said in piping voice. Roxanne glanced at the time. Madilyn should have left work by now. Although they had agreed in the morning that Madilyn would come right after work, she was still nowhere to b

A flash of self-mockery flitted across Roxanne’s eyes. She was worried that Lucian might find trouble with Jack because of her, but it turned out that she had gotten it all wrong.All the while, Lucian was finding trouble with her because of Jack.Seeing the change in the woman’s expression, Lucian realized that what he had just said might have been too suggestive.With his brows knitted together, Lucian was prepared to explain himself, but Roxanne beat him to the punch.“Since it’s business-related, you can reason with Mr. Damaris himself. I’m merely a researcher in this project. Both my words and my presence don’t carry much weight, so even if I’m not there at the ceremony, it can still proceed without a hitch.”Roxanne looked at the man in front of her with a tinge of mockery in her gaze as she continued, “I’m just an insignificant member of the project. If don’t attend the ceremony today, my colleagues will a*sume I’m unsociable and bring me trouble in the future. Mr. Farwell, pl

Roxanne felt conflicted as she realized she had inadvertently betrayed Lucian. I wonder what Lucian will say when he finds out…“Come on, Roxanne. We’re going to be working closely together from now on, so it’d do us good to spend more time with each other,” Larry chimed in as well.Left with no other choice, Roxanne recomposed herself and a*sented with a smile.The three of them left the private room and went straight to the banquet hall on the third floor.Roxanne was shocked when she stepped out of the elevator.Everyone involved in the project was already waiting for her in the banquet hall. It was as though they already knew the signing of the contract would be successful.They all flocked over to Roxanne with their gla*ses raised.“Mr. Damaris says you played a huge part in resolving the issue with our supply of medicinal herbs, Dr. Jarvis! Here’s a toast to you!”“It’s truly amazing how a young woman like you could make such great accomplishments in the medical field!”Just li

Without saying anything, Lucian reached out to grab Roxanne’s hand and pulled her into his embrace. Jack knew his boundaries. Although he was holding on to her, he didn’t use a lot of force, so Lucian was able to snatch her from him with ease.“What are you doing, Mr. Farwell? Dr. Jarvis gave me permission to send her home. How will I explain myself if she finds out I handed her over to you?” Jack asked with a frown.The elevator came to a halt on the first floor.“Roxanne is my ex-wife. Given our relationship, I don’t think I need your permission to send her home. You will stay away from my ex-wife in the future if you know what’s good for you, Mr. Damaris,” Lucian said menacingly without looking back as he helped Roxanne out of the elevator.Jack, who was still standing inside the elevator, had a nonchalant look on his face when he heard that. “Really? In that case, I suppose I’ll have to leave her in your care, Mr. Ex-husband!” he said in the most sarcastic way possible.Lucian pa

Madilyn fell speechless when she heard that. What? I have to go to work early tomorrow? It wasn’t until she noticed Archie and Benny winking at her that she understood what they were playing at. “As much as I would love to stay and look after Roxanne, the workload at the hospital has been pretty crazy lately. Would you be able to look after her for me, Mr. Farwell? If not, I’ll have no choice but to take a day off tomorrow,” she said with a sigh. Feeling satisfied that Madilyn was playing along, the kids shifted their gaze back to Lucian and waited for his reply. Since he had intended to stay and look after Roxanne all along, he simply met their expectant gazes and nodded in response. This is a little strange, though… I remember Archie and Benny being mad at me for a really long time when I casually mentioned their biological father. I thought they’d hate me very much, and yet, they’ve been helping me win Roxanne back lately. In fact, they’re putting in as much effort as Estella.

At the sight of Roxanne’s pale expression, Lucian leaned in to look into her eyes with a frown. “How is it? Do you feel any better?” In her condition, Roxanne couldn’t hear him at all. After vomiting, she collapsed onto her bed and mumbled, “Ugh, it feels terrible…”Lucian’s heart ached for her when he heard that. After getting up to take off the shirt that she had puked on, he went out to wash his hands and poured her a cup of water for her to gargle with.When he returned to the room, he saw Roxanne standing on her feet. She was taking off her clothes as if there was no one around. While doing so, she continued to mumble, “I… I want to shower.”The sight of her stripping jolted Lucian back to his senses. He hurried to her side to hold her back. “Stop taking off your clothes.”Annoyed, Roxanne threw him a look of displeasure and insisted, “I want to shower. Move aside!”While she was speaking, she began to unbuckle her bra.Lucian quickly looked away, stunned.By the time he turned

After watching the children enter the kindergarten, Roxanne turned to Lucian with mixed emotions and started, “The boys told me that it was you who sent me home last night.” Lucian nodded noncommittally. He averted his gaze from her and looked to the side as if nothing had happened.In truth, he couldn’t help recalling the scene from the night before at the sight of her face.Roxanne trailed his gaze, only to see his car that was parked by the roadside.Thinking that he was in a hurry to leave, she decided to get straight to the point. “Can you tell me how we ran into each other last night?”Lucian’s face turned cold when Roxanne mentioned their encounter. “We happened to run into each other in the hotel elevator.”Even though he didn’t describe how he had wrestled her away from Jack’s arms, Roxanne had no trouble imagining it.Given his temper, he must’ve been infuriated to see me together with Jack. It goes without saying that something unpleasant must have happened between them.N

Catalina didn’t close the door when she went down. Aubree saw Lucian standing in his study upon making her way up. “Lucian, I’m here.”Aubree entered after knocking on the door.Inside the study, Lucian had already heard her footsteps, but he only turned around upon hearing her voice.By then, Aubree had already put on a gentle smile on her face.Even though he had decided to accept her, Lucian still couldn’t help but feel that something wasn’t right every time he saw her. He remained silent for a long while.Aubree didn’t dare enter the study on her own accord. All she could do was repeat herself, “Is there something you want to see me for?”Jolted back to his senses, Lucian suppressed his inner thoughts as he replied in a deep voice, “Come in and have a seat.”Pursing her lips into a smile, Aubree walked in and settled down on the couch in the center of the room.Lucian sat down in an armchair with a conflicted look in his eyes. He could still feel the hesitance in his heart.In th
The abandoned Wife Strained Bonds: Estella's Determination and Lucian's Decision
Upon hearing her father’s words, Estella pursed her lips tightly as she desperately held back her tears. I can’t cry! If Daddy and Ms. Jarvis have fallen out with each other, I will definitely not be able to see her anymore. It’s up to me alone to help them reconcile.In that instant, Estella remembered the boys’ advice to her—strive to grow stronger.Throughout the journey home, Estella did not shed a single tear.When Lucian carried her out of the car upon their arrival, he was surprised by the look on her face.Despite looking as if she would burst into tears any second, she was tenaciously holding them back.Lucian wondered what had caused such a big change in her.When he tried to hold her hand, expecting her to refuse, Estella obediently let him hold it.Filled with complicated emotions, Lucian led Estella back into the mansion.The moment they entered, they saw Sonya, whose face was contorted, seated on the couch.“If you had come back any later, I would’ve gone to pick Essie
The abandoned Wife Broken Bonds: Roxanne's Dilemma and Lucian's Decision
“Why are you upset? Did I say something wrong?” Roxanne forced herself to stay calm and looked at him.She did want to break off ties with the Farwell family, but this wasn’t how she expected it to happen.If I do nothing to stop him from bringing Essie away, no one knows what he’ll tell her back home.Seeing that she didn’t seem to know her mistake, Lucian frowned angrily. “How are you wrong? Didn’t Essie make it clear? It was my fault.”With that, he turned to leave.Roxanne gritted her teeth.It was obvious he said that out of anger, so she couldn’t let him leave in this state.Lucian was already downstairs when Roxanne finally made up her mind. She quickened her steps and grabbed his sleeves.As she approached, Estella’s cries grew quieter.Lucian glanced at her hand gripping his sleeve with his dark and inscrutable gaze.I wonder what she will say.Roxanne’s instincts acted faster than her mind. She stopped him but could not find the words to make him stay.“If you have nothing
The abandoned Wife Turbulent Ties: Roxanne's Struggle with Lucian
“No longer related?” The sarcasm in Lucian’s eyes intensified. “This is all wishful thinking on your part.” Roxanne’s frown deepened. I’m stating the facts! Why is that wishful thinking? It was Lucian who used me all the while, and now he’s with Aubree. How are we related to each other now?As though reading her mind, Lucian said icily, “You may be right, but do you think Essie will give up on you when you treat her this well?”Roxanne was left speechless.Lucian concluded, “You are responsible for giving her false hope, which led to her committing that act, and you don’t even know that.”Hearing that, Roxanne couldn’t stop doubting herself.He’s right. I keep saying I want to sever ties with him, but when Essie cries, I can’t help but feel guilty and give in and shower my love on her. When she’s around, Lucian and I will inevitably have to interact. According to Lucian, Essie committed that act because of me…A while later, Roxanne finally found her voice. “If that’s the case, I’ll
The abandoned Wife Unraveling Ties: Roxanne's Dilemma with Lucian
Roxanne felt extremely uncomfortable under Lucian’s penetrating gaze despite her valiant attempts to ignore him. When she heard his answer, she heaved a silent sigh of relief and put her fork down.“Let’s talk upstairs.”Turning to the children, she instructed, “Finish your lunch before you go off to play.”Archie and Benny nodded vigorously.Roxanne rose to her feet and shot Lucian a look. Getting her hint, he complied by getting up and following her up the stairs.They both came to a stop at the balcony on the second floor, one after another.Roxanne said nothing as she was wondering how she should start the conversation.Even after Estella had admitted to her mistake and apologized, she still couldn’t believe that the little girl was capable of committing such an action.Naturally, Lucian would not believe her, as he loved Estella dearly.If she were to reveal the truth bluntly, Lucian would most probably think she was trying to blame Estella for something the little girl didn’t d
The abandoned Wife A Lesson in Understanding: Roxanne's Dilemma
“It’s our fault, Mommy. We didn’t keep a close eye on Essie.” The boys had already guessed the truth when their mother questioned them. Even though Estella had admitted to the offense, they still wanted to take the blame for her mistake.Roxanne did not know what to say as she watched the three of them protect each other.I would’ve been contended to see them caring for each other in another situation, but they’re covering for each other at the wrong time now. What do I do… Moments later, she suppressed her emotions and placed Estella on her thighs. “Tell me the truth, Essie. Did you do this by yourself or with the boys?”As Estella had learned that Roxanne disliked dishonest children, she, of course, wasn’t going to lie.Besides, she never wanted to drag the brothers down with her either.“I-I did it by myself…” she choked out.Roxanne nodded and wiped the girl’s tears away. “Why did you do it?”Even though the girl was crying intensely, she still answered the question, “Because I d
The abandoned Wife Unspoken Guilt: Navigating Trust and Consequences
After Archie found Estella, he summoned Benny. “Let’s head inside and listen to what Mommy is talking about with Mr. Damaris.”Upon hearing that suggestion, the other two agreed.They opened the door carefully and saw Roxanne sitting on the single-seat couch and chatting with Jack. Both adults had a smile on their faces.The alarm bells in the children’s minds rang loudly the instant they noticed the faint smile on Roxanne’s face.Estella acted against her usual behavior and sprinted straight to Roxanne’s side.“Essie?” It was only then Roxanne noticed the children had returned.Jack gave Roxanne and Estella the once-over and said half-intentionally, “I can see the resemblance even clearer like this.”That sent Roxanne into a panic.Innocently, Estella asked Roxanne, “What resemblance, Ms. Jarvis?”Roxanne patted her head, shot a look at Jack, and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just a random comment from Mr. Damaris.” Then she stood up and faced Jack. “Is there anything else, Mr. Damaris?
The abandoned Wife Unspoken Ties: Navigating Relationships and Childhood Secrets
The next morning, when Roxanne woke up early, Estella was still asleep. She left the bed gently to avoid disturbing the girl and went downstairs to prepare the children’s breakfast.Because of the messy situation last night, she woke up a little later than usual even though she was awake before the children.She hadn’t even prepared breakfast when the doorbell rang.Roxanne stopped what she was doing, and her heart sank. Is Lucian that eager to bring Essie back home?The doorbell rang incessantly, which roused the children from their slumber and prompted them to descend the stairs.“Is Mr. Farwell here, Mommy?” Archie frowned at the entrance.Estella’s gleeful countenance from yesterday had been replaced with a pitiful expression as she stood behind the boys. I want to stay with Archie and Benny longer!Seeing that the children had arrived downstairs, Roxanne had no choice but to put the things in her hands down and open the door.“Mr. Fair—” Roxanne cut herself off when she realized
The abandoned Wife Whispers of the Heart: Navigating Family Dynamics and Unspoken Desires
Roxanne was dumbfounded since she did not expect Lucian to agree to their request so easily. She finally regained her senses when Estella came running toward her, sobbing after her father set her down on the floor.“Ms. Jarvis…” The girl quickly wrapped her arms around Roxanne’s thigh.After caressing Estella’s head, Roxanne looked up at Lucian, who then nodded indifferently at her and glanced at the three children before heading to his car.Only after watching Lucian drive away did Roxanne take the children into the living room.“You two look after Essie. I need to make a phone call,” instructed Roxanne.Archie and Benny immediately nodded in response and did their best to comfort Estella while Roxanne hurried into a corner to call Jack, who did not take long to answer.“What’s up, Ms. Jarvis?” inquired Jack.“Sorry, but I’m afraid I’ll have to take another rain check,” replied Roxanne apologetically.According to their schedule, the two were supposed to provide medical consultation
