The abandoned Wife Shifting Perspective
Seeing Roxanne accepting her present, a smile returned to her face.Roxanne carefully kept the keychain in her purse, then reached for the bracelet she made. When she held onto Estella’s wrist, Estella was confused but still lifted her wrist nonetheless.Soon after, she watched as Roxanne clasped an exquisite seashell bracelet over her wrist.Estella’s eyes sparkled seeing the accessory.Roxanne compared Estella’s wrist with the length of the bracelet and let out a breath of relief when they fit. “I have a present for you too. Do you like it?” she asked with a smile.Estella nodded her head with her gaze glued to the bracelet and applied the words she learned from Lucian. “I love everything Ms. Jarvis gives me!”Roxanne laughed at her words.She only learned how to speak recently, yet she already knew how to make me happy with sweet words.Estella was earnest, though. She looked down at the bracelet on her wrist, unwilling to tear her gaze away.Seeing how much Estella loved the brace

They wanted to give Lucian a present, but their expression seemed nervous.After a long while, Roxanne reminded, “Mr. Farwell, please accept it, seeing that it’s the boys’ sweet thought.”Roxanne cast a complex gaze at the boys.She was beginning to suspect if the boys had found out about their identities.Lucian finally snapped out of his thoughts and took the shell from the boy’s hand at Roxanne’s reminder.He opened the shell and saw a pair of exquisite-looking cuff links made of tiny shells sitting in the middle.So they worked so hard earlier to make this pair of cuff links for me?A pang hit Lucian’s heart, and he asked, “Why would you give me a present?”The boys exchanged a glance, and Benny dropped his head shyly while Archie answered, “This is our gratitude for your help in finding Benny yesterday and stopping him from doing something dangerous on the yacht today.”Understanding dawned on Lucian, and a smile tugged at the corners of his lips. “I’ll accept this gift, then.

Benny joined in as well, “We love you the most, Mommy. We won’t like anyone you don’t!”Although those words were what they said, they still felt saddened.They had been happily spending time with Lucian during these few days. The latter had been taking good care of them as well.If it was possible, Archie and Benny wanted their parents to get back together.However, Roxanne obviously did not think the same way. Therefore, the twins could only respect her wishes.Roxanne was moved by their words, but she did not want them to know that she was afraid. She could not show that she was fearful.Upon listening to her children, she pursed her lips and smiled. “Mommy loves you two the most too.”Archie and Benny smiled sweetly at her.Benny, however, could not help but look back.Just as he did, his eyes met Estella’s aggrieved gaze.When their gazes met, Benny quickly tugged at Roxanne’s hand. “Mommy, Essie’s behind us! Should we wait for her?”Roxanne instinctively turned back to look as w

Hearing Archie’s words, Lucian’s face instantly darkened. “Where is she? Take us there!” Archie instantly ran toward the beach.With Estella in his arms, Lucian followed in long strides behind the boy.Roxanne was still worried about Archie, who had run off alone. After a while, she gently said to Benny, “Help me up, Benny. Let’s go look for Archie.”However, the latter shook his head without hesitation. “You’re hurt, Mommy. You can’t move. Archie will bring someone over soon.”Roxanne’s eyebrows furrowed slightly at Benny’s reaction. “I’m worried for Archie. Although I know that both of you are more than capable to take care of yourselves, I’ll still be worried,” she patiently tried to convince him.Listening to his mother’s words, Benny seemed to hesitate.He did not want Roxanne’s injury to worsen, but he also did not want her to worry for them.Just as Benny was contemplating listening to his mother and helping her up, Archie’s voice could be heard from afar.“Mommy! Mommy! I’ve

Upon hearing that, Roxanne’s lips quivered, but she could not say anything to turn him down.Lucian suddenly moved to shorten the distance between them.Roxanne could clearly feel his large hand pressing onto her waist. He then swiftly carried her up.She instinctively grabbed onto Lucian’s shirt in order to balance herself.“I can walk just fine. You just need to support me,” Roxanne said adamantly after recovering from her initial shock.Then, she struggled to get down.The children were all looking at them. She shouldn’t be so intimate with Lucian.However, Lucian refused to let that happen.All Roxanne felt was his hand tightening on her waist. “You’re a doctor, Ms. Jarvis. Aren’t you afraid that your wound would get infected if it comes into contact with dust and seawater?” His low voice rang next to her ears.Before Roxanne could even react, the children started to panic.“Mommy, your feet shouldn’t touch the ground!”“Ms. Jarvis…” Estella’s voice was full of concern.Roxanne he

The group soon left the hotel in the middle of the night and headed back to the city. It was different from how they arrived. On the way home, Archie sat in the front pa*senger seat in order to allow Roxanne to sit comfortably while Estella and Benny accompanied Roxanne in the back seat.All three children kept staring at her injured foot, and Roxanne did not know whether to laugh or cry at that.They finally arrived at the entrance of the mansion. With her hand on the car seat to support her, Roxanne carefully tried to get out of the car. Just as she reached the door, a pair of big hands reached out and were placed on her waist, carrying her up.Roxanne was stunned for a few seconds. However, after realizing that the kids had already seen this happen many times after she got injured and probably wouldn’t think much of it, there was no need for her to reject Lucian. Therefore, she allowed him to carry her into the mansion.Just as they entered, Lysa walked over to meet them. When she

It was only when she had to walk by herself that she realized how troublesome it was.Even though Lysa was supporting her, it was hard for her to walk when she could not put any pressure on one of her feet.After Roxanne slowly made her way to the stairs, she looked up at the many steps and laughed helplessly. “I’ll just stay down here for the moment.”Lysa then brought her to the guest room on the lower floor. Her heart ached for Roxanne.It was fortunate that she was there to take care of the latter.Lysa had no idea how Roxanne took care of two kids all alone. She could not imagine how hard things must have been whenever Roxanne fell sick and still had to care for her two sons.Archie and Benny trailed behind their mother and Lysa.Roxanne sat down on the side of the bed and said to her twins in a soft voice, “It’s late. You two should head to bed now.”However, the boys pursed their lips and shook their heads. “We want to be with you, Mommy!”If Roxanne needed water in the middle

The atmosphere in the car was tense.No one said anything for the rest of the journey back to the Farwell residence.Estella was in a gloomy mood the entire time. She did not even wait for Lucian to carry her into the house. The young girl had gotten out of the car and walked to the mansion alone.Staring at her tiny silhouette, Lucian frowned. It seemed that Estella’s condition was worsening.Upon realizing that, Lucian’s heart fell.Roxanne’s attitude to Estella had a huge impact on Estella’s mental health.Lucian was not going to let Roxanne become distant from them because of Estella.Lucian followed Estella into the house. Just as he entered, Estella was already sitting on the couch with her head hung low. Catalina comforted her with a worried look on her face, but Estella refused to speak.When Catalina noticed Lucian walking, she looked at him and asked, “What’s with Ms. Estella, Mr. Farwell?”Just as she spoke, she realized that Lucian had a similar expression on his face.Cat

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
The abandoned Wife Shifting Dynamics: Bonds, Betrayal, and Resilience
Frowning, Lucian fell silent for several seconds. Within several short seconds, the smile slid off Aubree’s face.Until Lucian’s voice sounded once more.“Judging by Essie’s demeanor this morning, the relationship between you seemed to have improved by a lot.”Aubree froze for several seconds at his words before she registered what he said.It was true that the child had been receptive toward her that morning.Aside from rejecting her touch, Estella had responded to almost everything she had said.It was a big improvement compared to before.“I was the one at fault back then,” Aubree replied with a laugh. “I wasn’t patient enough with Essie. Now that I’m a little more patient, Essie can sense it and responds accordingly.”“That’s good,” Lucian answered solemnly. “Enjoy each other’s company.”Smiling, Aubree a*sured him she would.Without discussing it any further, Lucian ended the call on the pretext of work.Though he had already decided to proceed with the engagement, he did not ha

Estella’s resolve wavered at the mention of Lucian. She had seen how drunk Lucian was the night before and surmised he must have drunk a lot.I wonder what Daddy was up to.Aubree delighted at the indecision in Estella’s eyes and continued, “If you don’t want to attend school, I can help put in a word or two when your daddy’s feeling better.”It was only then that Estella relented and allowed her entry into the room.Aubree got to her feet to let Estella get dressed while she picked out the clothes she would wear to school.Once the clothes were selected, she a*sisted Estella to brush her teeth.Estella gradually began to let her guard down.Aubree used to threaten her whenever they spent time together.Estella supposed Aubree wouldn’t try anything since she didn’t seem inclined to do so this time.Moreover, Aubree brought up Lucian in their conversation.Estella was docile and compliant to her demands as she did not want to trouble Lucian. Nonetheless, her expression was still sulle
The abandoned Wife Aubree's Dilemma: Navigating Relationships and Responsibilities
Aubree spent the night in the same guest room she stayed in during her previous visit. As she entered the room, she could not help but recall what she had done last time.For a moment, I even thought of using the same method to teach that little b*tch another lesson to see if she dares to be disobedient again!However, it was only a fleeting thought because, ultimately, she was still afraid Lucian would find out about it.Now that she had hope, she would never be able to forgive herself if she lost it due to another mistake she made.As Aubree lay in bed, the scene from earlier in Lucian’s bedroom kept playing through her head.I was so close to becoming Mrs. Farwell! If only Cayden hadn’t appeared!Aubree stayed up all night, waiting for Cayden to come over and inform her that Lucian had woken up.She never expected to wait until the sun was high in the sky, and he still had not come over.The memory of Cayden’s attitude toward her the night before made Aubree grit her teeth. She go
The abandoned Wife Unforeseen Encounters: A Night of Revelations
When the two women arrived at the club, Jonathan had already sobered up a little. He tensed up when he saw Aubree entering the room with his sister.Jonathan vaguely recalled Lucian making a call in his drunken stupor earlier, but he thought Lucian had made a call of regret to Roxanne with the courage of his drunken state.Even if it was not a call to Roxanne, Lucian should have called Cayden instead.Alas, Lucian had called Aubree.So all that talk earlier was a waste of my breath! Lucian has really given up on Roxanne.“Lucian, how do you feel?”Aubree instantly went to Lucian’s side the moment she stepped into the room, and she began studying the man with concern.Lucian had drunk more than Jonathan, and by then, he was already out of his mind.His only reaction to Aubree’s voice was a small nod and a slight furrow of his brows.“Aubree, you should bring Lucian back first. Leave my brother to me,” Frieda suggested.Aubree agreed to it with no hesitance. Nonetheless, she had troubl

Just as those words went past Jonathan’s lips, Lucian tightened his grip on his gla*s. Six years ago…“You must have treated Dr. Jarvis far worse six years ago than how Dr. Jarvis is treating you now,” Jonathan went on. “Back then, I wondered about what she would feel about you focusing on work and Aubree only. I thought she would have left in no time, but to my surprise, she actually lived with you for so many years and even gave birth to your children.”At that moment, a thought seemed to have popped up in Jonathan’s head. “It looks like Dr. Jarvis was deeply in love with you back then. You say you’re a persevering man, but you’re giving up on her in mere months just because she’s a little more serious about her work. In contrast, Dr. Jarvis had stayed by your side for years.”Jonathan even felt bad for Roxanne when he thought about the things she had to go through during those years. Once he was done saying his piece, he clicked his tongue and shook his head.Lucian’s expression d
