The abandoned Wife The Weight of Silence
Roxanne was about to bring the two boys up upon arriving back at the hotel when she felt a pair of resentful eyes on her back. Frowning, Roxanne glanced behind her and saw Estella hesitantly shuffling after her three paces behind.The child stopped in her tracks when she noticed her quarry had turned her head. Her little face was alight with anticipation.Not far away, Lucian pretended not to see them as he busied himself with pouring a gla*s of water from the bar.Roxanne walked toward the child. “Do you want to sleep with me, Essie?”The child nodded vigorously before asking cautiously, “Is that okay?”Roxanne’s heart softened at the child’s tentativeness. “Go ask your Daddy,” she said softly as she gazed at the man in the vicinity. “If he says yes, I’ll take you upstairs.”The child’s eyes brightened. She strode to Lucian’s side with her stubby legs, but the man ignored the child’s approach.Knowing that her father would agree, Estella tugged the hem of his shirt fearlessly. “Can

Lucian’s face fell slightly. “I’ll leave you to your work, Mr. Farwell. I’m just here for a drink. Don’t feel the need to entertain me.”Roxanne inclined her head at him before turning to head to the bar.The bar was filled with expensive wine, as they were in a presidential suite worthy of the name. Some bottles were even vintage.Roxanne did not know much about wine other than red wine was a sleeping aid. After perusing the selection, she opened a bottle at random.When Lucian heard the sound of a bottle opening, he turned around to glance at Roxanne’s back. Although he could not see which bottle she had opened, he reminded her, “Red wine will cause a ma*sive hangover. Don’t drink too much.”Roxanne grunted nonchalantly in response.The sound of Roxanne pouring herself wine was the only thing audible in the ensuing silence of the suite.Lucian’s attention was so focused on her that the contents of his email did not register to him.Roxanne quickly finished a gla*s of wine, but she

He had never once expected her to behave so intimately toward him ever since they met one another again.Although he was fully aware that he should keep a distance because she was only acting like that because she was drunk, he still wanted to keep her close.In fact, if it were not for the fear of disturbing her sleep, he would have hugged her tighter.This is ridiculous. Lucian could not believe he just caught himself wanting more.Over the years, he had never treated anyone that way, not until he met Roxanne.“Lucian…” the woman mumbled sadly in her sleep beside his ear.His arms tensed up when her voice called him back to reality. He wanted to tell her that he was right beside her.Feeling his embrace, Roxanne looked up at him in a stupor and murmured, “Why are you so cruel? Am I still not good enough for you? I love you so much, but you’ve never liked me the slightest bit.”Her words pierced his heart like a knife over and over again.It pained him beyond words when he thought of

“I know you didn’t mean it. I just need some time to recover from the shock,” Roxanne comforted Benny with a smile. The boy gazed at her doubtfully for some time. When he was finally convinced that she meant what she said, he nodded slowly, pursed his lips, and gave her a hug.“Let’s have breakfast. It’s getting late,” Roxanne said, caressing his head.All the children nodded, and the four of them went downstairs together.A five-person breakfast was ready on the table by the time they got down. It seemed that Lucian had taken the food in and laid them out on the dining table.He was scrolling his phone on the couch when they came down. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing a pair of lean and muscular forearms.When Roxanne saw that he was working, she held the children’s hands and asked them to walk silently, but the man still noticed them in the end.He looked up at Roxanne, and their gazes met. What had happened the previous night instantly came back to Roxanne’s mind.She hoped s

When Roxanne saw how persistent the girl was, she agreed to a game with the children. “I’m done!” Estella announced when she had found a hiding spot.Even after rounds of the same game with Archie and Benny, the girl still shouted out loud whenever she was done hiding.Roxanne could not help laughing at that.Right after Estella shouted, Roxanne heard Archie’s and Benny’s soft giggles from another corner.“I’m coming!” Roxanne exclaimed, shaking her head.Then she walked toward where Archie and Benny were.The boys were still feeling proud of themselves because they thought they had found a seemingly strategic place where no one could find them, but they were proven wrong.They even planned on changing their hiding place to make it more difficult for Roxanne to find them. But just as they were crawling out from where they were, they bumped into the woman.They looked up, only to see her smug smile. “Mommy, please give us another chance…” they mumbled, standing up in front of her.Rox

While Roxanne was bandaging him, she could sense Lucian’s gaze on her. However, Roxanne did not know what was on his mind.I wonder if he’s thinking about what happened last night…Roxanne could not help but recall the bottle of red wine that was almost finished the night before, and that made her feel perplexed. As such, the bandaging she did for Lucian was a little rough around the edges.“Are you done?” asked Lucian when he saw that she was not doing anything else.It was only then Roxanne returned to her senses and maintained a calm face. “It’s almost done.”Lucian took a look at the bandage on his hand, raised his brows, and said, “Ms. Jarvis, it seems that you are very selective when it comes to your medical skill, aren’t you?”Roxanne was startled by what he said. She followed his gaze and noticed that her bandaging was indeed horribly done.For a moment, Roxanne could not help but blush. She opened her mouth but did not know what to say.Thankfully, all Lucian did was teased

Roxanne was much more relaxed when she saw that Lucian’s preparations had been very thorough.The captain of the yacht chatted with them, “The weather is ideal for a trip out to the sea today.”Roxanne glanced at Lucian and saw no response from him, so she acknowledged politely.Seeing that she responded, the crew became more enthusiastic and started to introduce the activities that were available.Before they could arrive at the area for the dolphin sighting, the children’s attention was completely captured by the crew’s briefing. Excitement was written all over their small faces.Once in a while, Roxanne would respond as well.“I heard from Mr. Farwell that all of you are out here for the dolphin sighting. To be honest, that is not the most exciting thing to do in this area. I will highly recommend diving since the water in this area is well protected, and the views underwater are beautiful. If you have the chance, you should give it a try,” the crew strongly recommended.Roxanne st

Hence, the instructor gradually released her.Slowly, the underwater scenery appeared before Roxanne. When she saw the scenery in front of her, her eyes lit up.There was a vast array of colorful coral and fishes. The waters refracted the rays of sunlight and shone down on the treasures of the sea, giving them a mysterious color.Roxanne could not help but reach out her hand.Soon, a tiny fish circled her finger intimately.The instructor was stunned by the interaction, and he quickly took out his camera to take pictures of the scene.In the pictures, Roxanne looked like a beautiful mermaid interacting peacefully with the beautiful creatures of the sea.Meanwhile, the people on the yacht began to worry when Roxanne and the instructor had not returned after a long time.Benny shouted anxiously at the sea, “Mommy!”Estella, too, gripped the railing nervously and glanced at Lucian. “Daddy, why isn’t Ms. Jarvis back?”When Lucian heard her question, his gaze darkened, and he comforted her

The abandoned Wife Unexpected Visitor
The boys were exhilarated for nearly the whole day after seeing the announcement in the morning.When night fell, Roxanne had just stepped into the house when Archie and Benny flung themselves at her in excitement. “Mommy!”She was slightly perplexed by their gleeful demeanor. “What’s going on? Did something nice happen in the kindergarten?”As soon as she ended her sentence, she glanced at Estella and was puzzled. If something did happen in the kindergarten, why isn’t Essie acting the same way as them?Upon detecting his mother’s confusion, Archie said, “Didn’t you see the news on the internet?”That confounded Roxanne even further. What news on the internet?Excitedly, Benny added, “Mr. Farwell claimed that we’re his children, just like Essie!”Did I hear that right? Lucian said Archie and Benny are his children? How’s that possible? Roxanne was stunned.He could tell his mother was befuddled, so he grabbed the laptop, clicked on a public forum, and showed it to her.Farwell Group’s
The abandoned Wife Family Matters
Jonathan’s jaw dropped open in disbelief. If they aren’t his, why does he look so calm in comparison to me, who is freaking out?“What are you thinking?” He shot Lucian an incredulous look. “If you want to help Roxanne by stopping the haters online, then you can just publicize your relationship with her and issue warning letters through your lawyer. Why would you do this?”If it was revealed that the CEO of Farwell Group had claimed to be the biological father of his ex-wife’s children even though they were not his, no one would believe it. It sounded pretty ridiculous, but that was exactly what Lucian did.“If I only did that, the netizens will still a*sume the worst about the boys’ father.” Displeasure flashed across Lucian’s eyes as he explained, “The kids are innocent. If she’s willing to marry me, it will only be a matter of time before the boys become mine, too.”Lucian knew very well that the last thing Roxanne wanted was to drag the kids into her mess, so he was more than wil

The abandoned Wife The Midnight Revelation
The medicinal herb company owned by the Damaris family was mainly run by their own people, leaving outsiders nothing but envy. Lucian went silent after hearing that.However, that piqued Jonathan’s interest. “Why? Is Roxanne working with the Damaris family again? Do you need my help with anything?”Lucian managed to detect the hint of derision in his voice and snickered. “Go on and acquire the Damaris family’s medicinal herbs company if you’d really like to help.”Jonathan rubbed his nose sheepishly and said, “Well, anything but that.”“Then there’s nothing you can do. Bye.”Lucian hung up the call right after that.Jonathan’s face was full of reproach as he watched his phone screen go dark.That was the second time Lucian had woken him up in the middle of the night and hung up after dropping a bomb on him.It had taken him considerable effort to finally drift off to sleep.Great.

The abandoned Wife The Strategic Pursuit
It was already past nine at night when Roxanne reached home. As she got out of the car, she felt anxious and guilty for leaving the children alone at home.Hence, she hurried into the mansion, but as soon as she entered, she was greeted with the lively sounds of the children playing with each other and running around.Roxanne stopped in her tracks and looked inside the living room, surprised.Initially, she thought Madilyn had come over, but Lucian was sitting on the couch instead.As if sensing her presence, the man turned around to look.When their gazes met, Roxanne’s shock intensified. “What are you doing here?”Didn’t we agree on meeting some other day?Upon noticing her return, the children stopped playing and gathered around her, yearning for affection.“Mommy, you came home so late! Daddy’s been waiting for a long time!”Roxanne ruffled the children’s hair, but her gaze was still locked on Lucian.Lucian sat on the couch, crossing his legs. The button on his collar was undone
The abandoned Wife The Necklace's Dilemma
Lucian had mentioned visiting Roxanne in the past few days, but she rejected him by saying she had work to do. When he heard Estella mention that Roxanne was rarely home, he finally realized how hard she had been working recently.“Are you free tomorrow at noon? Let’s have lunch together,” Lucian suggested.He was determined to let Roxanne get some rest.Roxanne fell silent for a few moments when she heard the time he mentioned before replying apologetically, “Sorry, I’m not free.”Lucian frowned. “Why? Is there work that you have to complete?”Roxanne scratched her nose sheepishly. “I’ve promised to meet up with Mr. Damaris for lunch tomorrow to discuss a project.”Jack Damaris?Lucian’s expression instantly darkened.We’ve hardly been in contact these few days, and yet she’s been contacting him?What the elderlies from the nursing home said echoed in Lucian’s mind once again.After all, he and Roxanne did not work in the same industry.

I can’t believe the Queen family is the culprit! I… I a*sume that with our friendship of years, even if they refuse to help us, at the very least, they won’t hit us when we’re down. Yet, they are the reason we ended up in such a state! If that’s the case, why did Frieda come to our house yesterday? Did she come to shed crocodile tears? Gina glared at her daughter resentfully. “You knew about it, didn’t you?”Aubree’s involvement in the company’s affairs meant that she must have known who the culprit was, yet she still permitted Frieda to visit her, much to Gina’s bafflement.If I knew the Queen family was behind this, I wouldn’t have allowed Frieda to enter our house!Aubree’s eyes had also turned red. “So what if I did know?

At noon the next day, Jonathan brought Frieda shopping. They bought a bunch of gifts before driving to the restaurant where they were supposed to meet Roxanne. The restaurant was near the research institute. Due to the closeness of both locations, Roxanne thought she could head back to do some more work if their meeting ended early.Something in the research institute held her up, so Jonathan and Frieda were already waiting in the private room by the time she arrived.“I’m sorry, Dr. Jarvis. Did I interrupt your work?”Despite addressing Roxanne by her name in front of Lucian, Jonathan was mindful of his behavior and addressed her politely when she was present.Roxanne offered him a polite smile. Her gaze then landed on Frieda, and confusion crossed her eyes.If I’m not mistaken, Frieda never liked me.
