With that, Lucian strode out of the Farwell main residence with Estella in his arms.

Sonya was fuming as she watched her son take Estella away just like that, but there was nothing she could do about it.

For the next several days, Estella didn’t go to kindergarten and just stayed home to play under Lucian’s orders.

She had become a lot more stable after returning to a familiar environment.

Although she was still angry with Lucian, she was at least willing to speak to Catalina.

Lucian was aware of her temperament. After finding out that she wasn’t completely refusing to speak, he no longer tried to force her.

When the weekend came around, Archie and Benny wanted to see Estella.

As they didn’t know if Estella had gone home or not, they were extremely worried.

It just so happened that Roxanne was working overtime, and Lysa had taken leave to return to her hometown, leaving the two kids alone in the mansion.

Hence, it was a lot easier for them to sneak out this time.

  • The abandoned Wife    Unexpected Turns and Reunions

    Archie took the chance to sprint out of the mansion with Estella in tow. They then hid in a corner and waited for Benny to leave. Inside the mansion, Catalina had just poured a cup of water for Benny and a*sumed he was about to go upstairs.To her surprise, Benny gave her a polite bow. “Thank you, Ms. Catalina. I shall take my leave now.”Catalina frowned in puzzlement. “What about Archie?”They both came together, so she couldn’t understand why they would leave separately.Benny pursed his lips guiltily. “Archie left a while ago. He and I snuck in here without telling Mommy, and we were busted. She’s probably giving him an earful right now.”Catalina nodded understandingly. She found their antics amusing.I can’t believe they came this far just to visit a friend. Ms. Jarvis must be beside herself with worry.She suddenly recalled what happened previously and offered, “I’ll ask someone to give you a ride home.”Benny waved his hands anxiously. “N-No need for that. My mommy is waiting

  • The abandoned Wife    Clash of Maternal Authority

    Upon realizing Roxanne didn’t feel any animosity towards her, Estella leaped into her arms happily. Smiling, Roxanne wrapped her arms around Estella and asked gently, “Why are you with Archie and Benny?”Hearing her question, Archie and Benny exchanged a sheepish glance before directing their gaze toward Estella.Should we let Essie tell Mommy we sneaked her out, or should we tell her ourselves? It has been a while since Mommy and Essie last met. She won’t get mad at Essie!Estella didn’t disappoint them, for she quickly revealed, “Archie and Benny came to visit me. I wanted to visit you, so I asked them to bring me here!” Her voice sounded smug.Luckily, I followed them back. Otherwise, there is no telling when I’ll get to meet Ms. Jarvis!Roxanne stiffened when she heard Estella’s answer.Essie ran away from home with Archie and Benny. If Lucian finds out about it, how should I explain it to him? He’ll most probably a*sume the boys persuaded Essie to follow them back to my house.W

  • The abandoned Wife    The Farwell Conflict: A Tale of Family Struggles and Bonds

    Roxanne felt that this was unjust for Estella. “Just because Essie is a Farwell, does that mean she should be treated this way and not be allowed to befriend people she likes?”Sonya sneered, “If you’re talking about your sons, then she isn’t allowed to befriend them.”A flash of disappointment crossed Archie and Benny’s faces when they heard that.Does Grandma hate us that much? She won’t even allow us to be friends with Essie.Roxanne was upset, too. “Mrs. Farwell, the children have nothing to do with our grudge.”Roxanne knew that the elderly lady’s hatred for Archie and Benny must have stemmed from her, for they rarely interacted with Sonya.With that thought in mind, she cast the boys an apologetic look.Though the boys had no idea about their own background, their biological grandmother ended up despising them because of her.For one split second, Roxanne had the urge to reveal Archie and Benny’s identities to Sonya so she would stop insulting her boys.Sonya was not interested

  • The abandoned Wife    A Family's Struggle for Understanding and Acceptance

    Even though Roxanne and Lucian knew what Archie would say, they were still moved when they heard the boy actually put his thoughts into words. After looking down at Archie, Roxanne silently shifted her gaze to Lucian. If possible, I, too, wish Essie could stay a moment longer, at least until she calms down.Unfortunately, she knew she had no right to make such a request.Only after keeping quiet for a few seconds did Lucian turn to meet Roxanne’s gaze.Clenching her fists, Roxanne then looked away and pretended to be calm.“What do you think, Ms. Jarvis?” inquired Lucian in his deep voice.Roxanne reluctantly replied, “I have no say in the matter since Essie is your child, Mr. Farwell. However, I do hope that you’ll respect her wishes.”Since Roxanne did not intend to request him to let Estella stay, Lucian nodded understandingly in response and turned to Estella. “Then you should come home with me.”Estella had just stopped crying, but after hearing her father’s words, her face bega

  • 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

  • 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

    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    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

    Jack froze for a few seconds before coming to some kind of realization and agreeing to it. The two of them then went out of the research institute.A look of delight danced across Colby’s face when he saw them leave.Ever since Jack came for Roxanne, Colby had been keeping his focus on the two.Therefore, he saw the look of struggle on Roxanne’s face.Evidently, what he had said in the morning was effective.Meanwhile, Roxanne came to a stop in her tracks at the entrance of the institute with mixed feelings still surging in her heart. In the meantime, Jack stopped behind her.“Sorry.” Roxanne had calmed herself down on their way out and realized that she had been a little too carried away earlier.Jack raised a brow and teased, “What’s the matter? Why are you apologizing to me all of a sudden? You couldn’t have secretly done something terrible to the project, could you, Ms. Jarvis?”Roxanne shook her head immediately. “Of course not.”I’ve done so much for this project. Why would I d

    Estella looked at her father, who was already at the door and turned to look at Aubree, who was still standing by the couch. A few moments pa*sed, and the little girl finally begrudgingly got out of her chair and jogged to keep up with Lucian.Aubree let out a relieved sigh and caught up to them as well.“Daddy,” Estella mumbled. She gave her father a puppy-eyed look and tugged at the corner of his shirt in a bid to curry favor with her father.Lucian lowered his gaze to meet Estella’s. He lifted his hand and patted her head. “I’m really busy lately. Please don’t throw a tantrum at me.”Estella pursed her lips in disapproval, refusing to believe what he said.She knew as a matter of fact that Lucian was in a bad mood because he had quarreled with Roxanne.Estella was flabbergasted that Lucian was still trying to lie to her, despite the fact that even she knew the real reason her father was upset.Why are adults so weird? Why doesn’t Daddy just make up with Ms. Jarvis?Of course, Luci

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    Aubree spent the night in the same guest room she stayed in during her previous visit.
