The abandoned Wife Undercover Escape
The hooligans seemed surprise after hearing what she told them and glancing at the stack of cash they were offered. “Are you sure we’re going after two kids?”Given the huge amount Aubree offered, they suspected she was messing with them and a*sumed she would have them fight some trained fighters.To their surprise, Aubree frowned impatiently. “Are you taking on this task or not? Fine with me if you don’t!”They agreed with it immediately and pointed in the direction that Aubree had indicated to them. “Over there, right? We’ll head over there right now!”With that, they sprinted in Archie and Benny’s direction.Aubree was feeling self-conceited as she watched the hooligans spring into action and imagined the trouble the two young boys would soon be in.All the while, Archie and Benny had no idea what they would soon be facing.Benny lamented with a troubled look on his face, “Archie, does this mean we won’t get to see Essie again?”Estella was sent to the Farwell main residence, but

Not long after, Archie and Benny slowly ambled down the stairs. They did not want Roxanne to see their injured arms, so they deliberately changed into their pajamas with long sleeves.Roxanne was waiting for them by the dining table. As Archie and Benny walked up to her, she suddenly felt something was amiss.She stared at Benny for a long time. Then, she frowned and asked, “Benny, what happened to your hand?”A scrape on Benny’s hand appeared rather unsightly.Hearing his mom’s question, Benny stiffened up. He followed Roxanne’s gaze and noticed the scrape on his palm.Upon seeing that wound, Benny immediately looked at Archie for help.Archie knitted his brows tightly.He figured Benny must have injured his palm when the older kids pushed them earlier.Still, he did not expect the scrape on Benny’s palm would be so eye-catching.Roxanne quickly sensed that her kids were hiding something from her. “Ms. Lane told me you were asleep the whole day. Did you boys sneak out?”She knew her

Roxanne waited for quite a long time, but no one answered the phone. After that, the call was disconnected. If it were in the past, she would never try calling back.But this time, since it was about Archie and Benny, she had no choice but to make the call again.It took Roxanne several tries before the other end finally answered the call.“What is it, Ms. Jarvis?” Lucian’s voice was extremely cold and hostile, a far cry from his usual tone of speech.Roxanne couldn’t help but freeze for a brief moment before she remembered the purpose of her phone call.“Mr. Farwell, why do you always involve the children in matters between us adults?” With a cold voice, she uttered, “Even though you forced Essie to transfer to another school without considering her condition, I don’t have anything to say about that since she is your daughter. But how can you be so narrow-minded that you would reject Archie and Benny’s visit?”Lucian raised his brows when he heard Roxanne’s words.Initially, he thou

Lucian ordered in a cold voice, “You guys have one day to find out what happened and who dared to mess around near the Farwell residence!” After hearing that, Axel agreed without hesitation and immediately led people to patrol nearby the residence.The few hooligans who took money from Aubree received an order from her to stay around the area for the next few days to keep an eye out for the two children.Aubree felt they would come again since they didn’t see Estella when they came the last time.As long as they dared to come, they wouldn’t be able to escape easily as they did.The next morning, the security team of the Farwell residence surrounded the hooligans.“Please, we didn’t do anything!”The hooligans quickly squatted down while shielding their heads as they sensed the other party was not to be trifled with.Axel looked at them coldly. “Did you people chase after two children yesterday?”They exchanged glances with each other, not daring to respond first.These men in black a

Frieda soon conveyed Aubree’s message to Cory. Initially, Aubree thought that the deal could be done via the internet. After all, Lucian’s men were still monitoring Cory.However, when the day of the transaction came, Aubree found herself ill at ease.If she did not watch him with her own two eyes, how was she going to make sure that Cory really deleted the photos?With that thought in mind, Aubree paused in her motions and uttered to Frieda, “Tell Cory that I’m going to watch him delete those photos myself.”Frieda stiffened. “But we might get exposed for this…”Tamping down the feelings of displeasure in her heart, Aubree said with as much patience as she could summon, “If I don’t do this, who knows if Cory’s going to lie to us?”Frieda did not agree with Aubree, but she still told Cory about Aubree’s intention.Naturally, Cory was not interested in meeting Aubree in person.Nevertheless, ten million was too great of a temptation for him to resist.After a moment of contemplation,

The teacher glanced at Estella before turning to Sonya. She then rephrased her sentence. “It’s not that Essie is ignoring the other kids; it’s that she screams when they come close to her.”Then, as if life was trying to prove the teacher’s words, Sonya noticed a few children who were getting picked up by their parents whispering as they looked in Estella’s direction.Along with the teacher’s words, Sonya could guess what those children were whispering about.“Our Essie takes a while to warm up to strangers. It’s her first day here, after all. I hope the teachers will be more patient with her,” Sonya said, maintaining her polite demeanor. “Essie will be a good kid once she’s used to them.”Then, Sonya lowered her head to look at Estella and asked, “Right, Essie?”Estella pressed her lips tightly together as she continued to hang her head. It was as if she did not hear Sonya.Sonya furrowed her brows and crouched down patiently. “I’m talking to you, Essie.”The girl blinked before loo

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.After exiting the ma

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

Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief. She could see that although Estella was a bit out of place, the other children approached her enthusiastically and played with her.Yet before she could feel totally at ease, she saw Estella letting out a yelp.The children who were skipping around also halted their actions one by one.Feeling her heart tighten, Roxanne instinctively looked in Pamela’s direction.Something was obviously wrong with Estella, and Pamela could probably see that from where she was standing.However, there was a child who wouldn’t stop crying next to Pamela. Although she did notice a small commotion over here, she was occupied with coaxing the child beside her.Left with no choice, Roxanne turned back to Estella and observed her worriedly.The girl hung her head low as she ma*saged her hand on her lap.Roxanne could only see Estella’s actions vaguely from her spot, but she could guess that the latter was hurt.Upon realizing that, Roxanne felt a little distressed.

The abandoned Wife Mother's Resolve: A Tale of Concern and Determination
Roxanne was surprised by her son’s words. She knew they had always been very sensible and had always taken good care of Estella.However, what she didn’t expect was that they had been thinking about this even more than she did.Benny chimed in sweetly, “Mommy, please talk to Mr. Farwell about this. We’re worried that Essie might get bullied, and we won’t be there to protect her.”Roxanne felt her chest tighten at the mention of Estella being bullied.She recalled the incident when Estella had been bullied by her cla*smates when Archie and Benny first entered the cla*sroom.Back then, the boys had stepped forward to protect Estella and helped her to smoothen things over with her cla*smates.However, now that Estella was in a new kindergarten, she no longer had any playmates she was familiar with. Roxanne was worried that if Archie and Benny weren’t beside Estella, the past would repeat itself.There’s a possibility that it would be just like what the boys said. Estella would be ostrac

Meanwhile, Estella and Pamela were the only ones left at the kindergarten entrance. “Essie, who’s coming to pick you up today? Were you always picked up so late in your previous kindergarten?” Pamela patiently clarified the matter with Estella, for it was the first time she had encountered such a situation.Estella pursed her lips in silence as if she didn’t hear Pamela at all.It was never her desire to come to the new kindergarten, and now that she was left to wait for a long time, she couldn’t help but feel depressed.Just when Pamela was wondering whether to give Lucian a call, a car gradually rolled up beside them.Aubree alighted from it with an anxious expression on her face.“I’m sorry for being late, Ms. Yaxley. Traffic was really bad.” After speaking to Pamela, she gave Estella an apologetic look. “I’m sorry to have made you wait, Essie. I’ll definitely come earlier next time!”Estella continued to pout in silence.Seeing that, Pamela defused the situation with a smile. “It

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
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
