The abandoned Wife Entangled Destinies
Suddenly, Estella tugged on Roxanne’s hand and said, “Over here!” Roxanne followed Estella through a complicated route and was surprised to see the boys hiding behind a man made hill.“How did you know Archie and Benny were hiding here, Essie?” asked a surprised Roxanne.The boys always hid in the most creative places, and Roxanne had always struggled to find them during their hide-and seek sessions.She never imagined Estella would find them so easily.Estella tilted her head and replied, “I don’t know.It was a guess.” Roxanne did not think much of Estella’s response and promptly believed her.By the time Lucian, Roxanne, and the children returned to their rooms, it was already nine at night. Archie and Benny were dripping in sweat from playing hide-and-seek earlier.Roxanne quickly ushered the boys into the bathroom to shower them once they got back.Their playful chatter drifted out of the bathroom from time to time.From where she sat on the bed, Estella stared at the bathroom do
The abandoned Wife Planting roots together
The tree-planting activity started very early the next morning.After waiting for the parents and children to finish breakfast, Pippa led them to the venue of the event.The kindergarten had collaborated with a botanical garden to provide the kids with an empty spot to plant some trees.There was quite a lot of staff standing by when they arrived.As the kids were all born with silver spoons in their mouths, the staff made sure they were extra friendly with them.Pippa then introduced the parents to the staff, split them into groups, and had them follow the staff to collect their saplings.Estella stared reluctantly at Roxanne when she heard they would be split into groups.She refused to budge even when the teacher called her name.Lucian frowned when he saw that and shifted his gaze toward Roxanne, who was standing nearby.After hearing the conversation between Lucian and Aubree last night, Roxanne instinctively tried to keep her distance from them.She then took Archie and Benny by
The abandoned Wife The Unwelcome Encounter
Lucian frowned in frustration as he found the shovel extremely unwieldy.While struggling with it, he felt Roxanne’s gentle gaze on him and looked up in response.As their eyes met, Roxanne quickly retracted her gaze and put on a neutral expression.Lucian frowned when he saw her response, but whatever frustration he had earlier seemed to have vanished completely. He then turned toward a staff and said, “Excuse me, I’m having some difficulty using this. Could you please show me how to use it?”The staff had been observing him from the side for quite some time. He had wanted to tell Lucian that he was doing it wrong but held himself back when he saw how intimidating Lucian looked.Seeing as Lucian had asked him for assistance, he quickly stepped forward to perform a quick demonstration.Even Lucian chuckled in amusement when he saw the staff’s technique and realized how funny he looked earlier.Having learned the proper way to use a shovel, they were able to speed up the process of fil
The abandoned Wife Shadows of Intention
Aubree’s motive for coming was to prevent Lucian and Roxanne from spending time with each other. Now that Roxanne had suggested the idea herself, Aubree could not be happier.Lucian’s gaze turned grim when he heard Roxanne’s words. He looked at her with a frown and said, “Ms. Jarvis, you helped me and Essie to plant the tree just now. I can’t just leave like that. Besides, there’s one more tree left. Let’s plant it together.”Roxanne furrowed her brows. When she was about to turn down his suggestion, Estella called out timidly, “Ms. Jarvis…”Roxanne’s heart softened. She turned around, only to notice the look of aversion on Estella’s face.Clearly, Estella was traumatized by what Aubree had done to her previously. She was still afraid of her.I’d love to keep Essie with me if possible, but we’re not even related. I can’t do anything about it even if I want to protect her.After pondering for a moment, Roxanne lowered her eyes and agreed, “Since you’ve said that, Mr. Farwell, I’m afrai
The abandoned Wife Echoes of Estrangement
Roxanne’s heart ached for Estella, but she could only smile and console the boys. “Oh, that’s unlikely. Why would she treat Essie badly? She’s going to be Essie’s mom in the future. Come on now. Stop thinking too much and eat your food.”Benny lowered his head reluctantly, complaining about Lucian in his heart.Just exactly how is Ms. Pearson better than Mommy? Why does Daddy want to marry that woman?After lunch, Pippa invited everyone to take a walk around the area.When Roxanne took the boys out of the cafeteria, she realized they were still feeling low. Hence, she decided to take them out for a stroll. She suggested, “Why don’t you take me to the place you hid last night? I have no idea how you boys find that place.”The boys finally cheered up at the mention of the hide-and-seek game. Just as they were about to take Roxanne to the location, they heard Estella’s sweet voice.“Ms. Jarvis…”The fact that Aubree had replaced. Roxanne’s spot during mealtime put Estella in low spirits.
The abandoned Wife Fractured Trust
Lucian knitted his brows. “Essie‘s just a little tired. If you have no other matters, you should go home as soon as possible.”Aubree‘s expression froze, and she racked her brains in search of an excuse to stay back.As she was thinking about it, she suddenly spotted the pink luggage at the bedside.It did not look like it belonged to Lucian no matter how hard she stared at it.“This is…” Aubree asked in puzzlement, eyeing the luggage suspiciously.Lucian followed her line of sight and said plainly, “That belongs to a parent of Essie‘s classmate. There weren‘t enough rooms, so I had to squeeze into someone else‘s.”Upon hearing that, Aubree shot him a look of surprise. “You‘re sharing a room with a woman?”Lucian‘s gaze darkened.If it were another woman, he, naturally, would not agree to it.However, that woman was Roxanne.They were once husband and wife and had intimate moments back then. Thus, there was nothing to be shy about.Moreover, they were very cautious by making sure they
The abandoned Wife Lost Uncertainty
Roxanne didn‘t know why, but she had a bad feeling. “No, I haven‘t seen her. What happened?”Lucian scanned his surroundings. He didn‘t dare to blink because he was worried that he would miss his daughter. “Essie is missing.”Roxanne‘s heart trembled when she heard that. Panic was written all over her face. “Isn‘t she with you? How did she get lost?”Thinking about the events that led to Estella going missing made Lucian frown. “It‘s a long story. Let‘s look for her for now. She should be somewhere around the botanical garden.”Roxanne dared not dawdle. She immediately agreed to his plan. “Okay, I‘ll search around the place with the kids.”After hanging up, she turned to Archie and Benny, wanting to bring them along to search for Estella.“Mommy, what‘s wrong?” asked the kids in confusion when they saw the panicked look on Roxanne‘s face.Roxanne, who was worried, took a deep breath to force herself to sound calm as she said, “Essie is missing. We have to look around for her.”Archie
The abandoned Wife Unraveling Mystery
Roxanne went all the way back to the hotel. When she reached the lobby, she saw Aubree sitting on the couch with her back to the door.In the past, Roxanne would have politely kept her distance from Aubree.That day, however, Roxanne didn‘t hesitate to make her way to Aubree because the matter involved Estella. “Has Essie returned?”Aubree was still in a daze because of what had happened earlier. She didn‘t realize that Roxanne was right in front of her until she heard the latter‘s voice.Their eyes met, and at that moment, Aubree‘s anxiety was replaced by anger.It‘s her! Roxanne Jarvis. She‘s the reason Essie is missing!Roxanne slightly knitted her brows when she noticed the hostility in Aubree‘s gaze. She was confused and was about to ask about it when Aubree suddenly sprang up from the couch.Aubree pointed at Roxanne‘s nose, yelling, “I can‘t believe you have the audacity to ask that! Essie wouldn‘t have run away if it weren‘t for you. This is all your fault, you b*tch!”Roxanne
