The abandoned Wife Shadow Doubt
Sonya’s response unequivocally took Aubree by surprise. The latter quickly turned her head, only to realize that Lucian was standing by the door.Instantly, she reviewed her speech in her head and was relieved that she did not say anything that could have exposed her scheme. Her gaze then fell on Sonya. “There’s no need for you to be so formal, Mrs. Farwell. It was something I should have done. Please, don’t even mention it,” she said in a gentle voice.Sonya furrowed her brows and replied, “You’re such a sweet girl. Are you trying to make me feel more terrible than I already am?”Obediently, Aubree said nothing else.Sonya shot Lucian a glance. “If it weren’t for Aubree, you wouldn’t be able to see me standing here anymore. No matter what, the Farwell family owes Aubree a favor. I’m still in shock, so I don’t think I’m the best person to take care of her right now. Therefore, it’s your duty to care for her in the meantime.”At that point, everyone in the room had their eyes on Lucian

Sonya and the others continued to keep Aubree company in the ward.Aubree was actually tired of her presence. She only used Sonya to get close to Lucian. Now that the man had agreed to stay back for her, she started getting impatient that the seniors kept lingering around in the room, having no intention to leave. Despite so, she still put on a pleasant expression, pretending to be a goody two shoes.“Aubree, you’re the patient. Therefore, you should just stay in bed these two days and get Lucian to run errands for you.”Sonya stroked the cast on Aubree’s arm.She had enough of Sonya’s never-ending words of concern. With a fake smile, she replied, “Thanks for the thoughts, Mrs. Farwell. I’ll take note of it, but…”Aubree unintentionally swept her glance across the man at the door. Then, she bit her lip and muttered pitifully, “I’m already very thankful that Lucian is here with me. I can’t trouble him any more than this.”Sonya scanned the room for his son, only to realize that he was

As though she was fulfilling what she said before, after Sonya ate lunch, she left.“I’m feeling a little tired, so I’ll return to rest now. Lucian will stay and take care of you.” Then she turned to her son. “The company shouldn’t have any important matters during this period.”Lucian nodded indifferently.“I’ll leave Aubree in your care. Take good care of her.” She further reminded him of Aubree’s condition again before leaving.Seeing Sonya leaving, Gina and her husband left as well.The only people left in the ward were Aubree and Lucian.The atmosphere was awkward.Aubree dug her nails into her palm as displeasure filled her heart.It was because Lucian treated her more coldly than he did in the past. He didn’t even want to look at her.It’s all because of that b*tch! She disrupted my years’ worth of work and caused Lucian and me to grow apart!Then, as she tried to find things to talk about, his voice entered her ears.“If you need anything, just call me. I’ll stay outside.” He

Roxanne didn’t know her falling ill affected Archie and Benny that much. For a few moments, she was at a loss for words. Thinking back, these two have been with me ever since they were born. In their eyes, I’m probably a superhero who always takes care of them and protects them. They had never seen me being that sick twice before. I suppose it’s only natural that they are spooked.The silence lasted for a while before she patted their heads with a complicated feeling. “I’m glad you two are concerned about me. Since both of you are afraid I’ll catch a cold, I can just stay on land and watch you swim.”The boys glanced at each other, hesitated for a few seconds, and nodded obediently.Roxanne smiled with relief. After she packed things up with the children, they went to the swimming pool by car.Thinking that they might visit often, she registered to be a member there.It was a swimming pool in the mansion district, so the environment inside was serene. The area was pretty big, too.Bec

The boys swam for nearly two hours. When they were done, Roxanne brought them to lunch.On the way there, she couldn’t stop thinking about what Archie had said to the man.She glanced at the children for a long time through the rearview mirror. Eventually, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you say that earlier, Archie? Why did you say Mr. Farwell is your daddy?”The reason she didn’t ask about it earlier was that she didn’t want to ruin their moods to play. However, she could no longer hold herself back.Upon hearing that, the boy glanced at her innocently. “Because he’s awesome and powerful!”Roxanne was stunned. For a moment, she couldn’t tell if he was lying or not.“Besides, I think if we call Mr. Farwell, he’ll probably rush over to our location.” Archie felt a bit odd when he said that.He didn’t like his father because his father wanted to marry another woman. However, he was confident that if anything happened to his mother, his father would arrive shortly after.If not for

Concurrently, at the hospital, Aubree received a call from her subordinate.“Ms. Pearson, we saw Roxanne driving toward a hospital.”She glanced at Lucian, who was sitting outside, and asked in a low voice, “Which one?”The subordinate replied, “I think it’s Primo Hospital.”Primo Hospital was the best private hospital in Horington. It was also where Aubree was currently staying.When she heard Roxanne was heading to her location, a glimmer of light flashed across Aubree’s eyes. “How long before they arrive?”“About five minutes.”“Got it. Continue to follow her. When she arrives at the entrance, give me a call.”“Roger.”Upon hanging up the call, Aubree put the phone aside and carefully glanced at Lucian. Seeing how he wasn’t paying attention to her, she shifted her gaze to the cup on the table and reached for it.Lucian was focusing on checking his company mailbox and didn’t notice what she was doing.Suddenly, a crashing sound was heard.It was soon followed by Aubree’s suppressed

Roxanne returned to her senses and protected her children behind her back. She gave Aubree a distant smile. “There’s no need for you to worry, Ms. Pearson. It’s just a minor illness.”Then she glanced at Lucian. “It seems like you’re busy with Mr. Farwell. I won’t bother the both of you further.”Without waiting for their replies, she grabbed her children and attempted to escape the couple’s line of sight.After she took two steps away, Lucian spoke. “Are Benny and Archie not feeling well?”His gaze brushed past the children and saw Benny’s pale face. He also noticed the boy was holding his abdomen with darkened eyes.The pale-faced boy turned around and uttered in an angry tone, “It’s just a stomachache! You should just take that lady to the doctor, Mr. Farwell. There’s no need for you to pay attention to us!”It was pretty obvious he was angry. The corridor was silent as his voice echoed in the stairwell.Sensing the hostility from the child, Lucian furrowed his eyebrows. He wasn’t

After a series of examinations, Roxanne discussed Benny’s condition with the doctor in the consultation room.Her concise and intelligent discussion took the doctor by surprise. After a while, the doctor asked with a smile, “Miss, which hospital are you working at? Will you consider working here?”Roxanne smiled humbly and replied, “It’s okay. I only know a little about stuff like this. That’s all.”With that, she reminded her sons, “Quick! Say thank you to the doctor.”Archie and Benny got off their seats and gave a solemn bow to the doctor. “Thank you, doctor.”The doctor was charmed by Archie and Benny’s cuteness. “You’re welcome. Remember to take your medicine on time when you get home. You’re lucky that your mommy knows a lot. Otherwise, things may have gotten worse, and you may have to be hospitalized. You should thank your mommy instead!”With innocent smiles on their faces, they turned and thanked Roxanne.She caressed their heads, took the prescription, and left with her chil

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
The abandoned Wife Entangled Fates: Navigating Relationships and Misunderstandings
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
The abandoned Wife A Delicate Balance: Navigating Relationships and Secrets
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
The abandoned Wife Aubree's Triumph: Nurturing Bonds and Overcoming Challenges
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.
