The abandoned Wife Echoes of Concern
They wanted to give Lucian a present, but their expression seemed nervous.After a long while, Roxanne reminded, “Mr. Farwell, please accept it, seeing that it’s the boys’ sweet thought.”Roxanne cast a complex gaze at the boys.She was beginning to suspect if the boys had found out about their identities.Lucian finally snapped out of his thoughts and took the shell from the boy’s hand at Roxanne’s reminder.He opened the shell and saw a pair of exquisite-looking cuff links made of tiny shells sitting in the middle.So they worked so hard earlier to make this pair of cuff links for me?A pang hit Lucian’s heart, and he asked, “Why would you give me a present?”The boys exchanged a glance, and Benny dropped his head shyly while Archie answered, “This is our gratitude for your help in finding Benny yesterday and stopping him from doing something dangerous on the yacht today.”Understanding dawned on Lucian, and a smile tugged at the corners of his lips. “I’ll accept this gift, then.

Benny joined in as well, “We love you the most, Mommy. We won’t like anyone you don’t!”Although those words were what they said, they still felt saddened.They had been happily spending time with Lucian during these few days. The latter had been taking good care of them as well.If it was possible, Archie and Benny wanted their parents to get back together.However, Roxanne obviously did not think the same way. Therefore, the twins could only respect her wishes.Roxanne was moved by their words, but she did not want them to know that she was afraid. She could not show that she was fearful.Upon listening to her children, she pursed her lips and smiled. “Mommy loves you two the most too.”Archie and Benny smiled sweetly at her.Benny, however, could not help but look back.Just as he did, his eyes met Estella’s aggrieved gaze.When their gazes met, Benny quickly tugged at Roxanne’s hand. “Mommy, Essie’s behind us! Should we wait for her?”Roxanne instinctively turned back to look as w

Hearing Archie’s words, Lucian’s face instantly darkened. “Where is she? Take us there!” Archie instantly ran toward the beach.With Estella in his arms, Lucian followed in long strides behind the boy.Roxanne was still worried about Archie, who had run off alone. After a while, she gently said to Benny, “Help me up, Benny. Let’s go look for Archie.”However, the latter shook his head without hesitation. “You’re hurt, Mommy. You can’t move. Archie will bring someone over soon.”Roxanne’s eyebrows furrowed slightly at Benny’s reaction. “I’m worried for Archie. Although I know that both of you are more than capable to take care of yourselves, I’ll still be worried,” she patiently tried to convince him.Listening to his mother’s words, Benny seemed to hesitate.He did not want Roxanne’s injury to worsen, but he also did not want her to worry for them.Just as Benny was contemplating listening to his mother and helping her up, Archie’s voice could be heard from afar.“Mommy! Mommy! I’ve

Upon hearing that, Roxanne’s lips quivered, but she could not say anything to turn him down.Lucian suddenly moved to shorten the distance between them.Roxanne could clearly feel his large hand pressing onto her waist. He then swiftly carried her up.She instinctively grabbed onto Lucian’s shirt in order to balance herself.“I can walk just fine. You just need to support me,” Roxanne said adamantly after recovering from her initial shock.Then, she struggled to get down.The children were all looking at them. She shouldn’t be so intimate with Lucian.However, Lucian refused to let that happen.All Roxanne felt was his hand tightening on her waist. “You’re a doctor, Ms. Jarvis. Aren’t you afraid that your wound would get infected if it comes into contact with dust and seawater?” His low voice rang next to her ears.Before Roxanne could even react, the children started to panic.“Mommy, your feet shouldn’t touch the ground!”“Ms. Jarvis…” Estella’s voice was full of concern.Roxanne he

The group soon left the hotel in the middle of the night and headed back to the city. It was different from how they arrived. On the way home, Archie sat in the front pa*senger seat in order to allow Roxanne to sit comfortably while Estella and Benny accompanied Roxanne in the back seat.All three children kept staring at her injured foot, and Roxanne did not know whether to laugh or cry at that.They finally arrived at the entrance of the mansion. With her hand on the car seat to support her, Roxanne carefully tried to get out of the car. Just as she reached the door, a pair of big hands reached out and were placed on her waist, carrying her up.Roxanne was stunned for a few seconds. However, after realizing that the kids had already seen this happen many times after she got injured and probably wouldn’t think much of it, there was no need for her to reject Lucian. Therefore, she allowed him to carry her into the mansion.Just as they entered, Lysa walked over to meet them. When she

It was only when she had to walk by herself that she realized how troublesome it was.Even though Lysa was supporting her, it was hard for her to walk when she could not put any pressure on one of her feet.After Roxanne slowly made her way to the stairs, she looked up at the many steps and laughed helplessly. “I’ll just stay down here for the moment.”Lysa then brought her to the guest room on the lower floor. Her heart ached for Roxanne.It was fortunate that she was there to take care of the latter.Lysa had no idea how Roxanne took care of two kids all alone. She could not imagine how hard things must have been whenever Roxanne fell sick and still had to care for her two sons.Archie and Benny trailed behind their mother and Lysa.Roxanne sat down on the side of the bed and said to her twins in a soft voice, “It’s late. You two should head to bed now.”However, the boys pursed their lips and shook their heads. “We want to be with you, Mommy!”If Roxanne needed water in the middle

The atmosphere in the car was tense.No one said anything for the rest of the journey back to the Farwell residence.Estella was in a gloomy mood the entire time. She did not even wait for Lucian to carry her into the house. The young girl had gotten out of the car and walked to the mansion alone.Staring at her tiny silhouette, Lucian frowned. It seemed that Estella’s condition was worsening.Upon realizing that, Lucian’s heart fell.Roxanne’s attitude to Estella had a huge impact on Estella’s mental health.Lucian was not going to let Roxanne become distant from them because of Estella.Lucian followed Estella into the house. Just as he entered, Estella was already sitting on the couch with her head hung low. Catalina comforted her with a worried look on her face, but Estella refused to speak.When Catalina noticed Lucian walking, she looked at him and asked, “What’s with Ms. Estella, Mr. Farwell?”Just as she spoke, she realized that Lucian had a similar expression on his face.Cat

It’s all Daddy’s fault! Ms. Jarvis really likes me, and she’s avoiding me because she doesn’t like Daddy! Ms. Jarvis didn’t even want me to take care of her now that she is hurt. I wonder how is she…Upon thinking of that, Estella pursed her lips as her eyes reddened.Lucian did not know how to deal with Estella, and he was afraid of saying something wrong. He did not want her condition to worsen.Estella had finally started communicating normally with them instead of writing on a piece of paper. He really did not want things to regress to how they were in the beginning.After remaining silent for a long while, Lucian sighed heavily. “Are you blaming me?”Estella answered with her silence.Seeing that, a sense of helplessness rose in Lucian’s heart.Estella was definitely Roxanne’s daughter. Even if they were not aware of their relationship, Estella had the same temper as Roxanne.It was all right for Roxanne to be distant from him, but it was different when his daughter, whom he had

The abandoned Wife Family Ties Unraveled: A Heart-Wrenching Encounter
Roxanne had long guessed Sonya would treat her with an unpleasant attitude. Although she was displeased, she didn’t show it on her face.“It’s Essie and Mr. Farwell’s wishes that Essie stays here. As you’re her grandma, I have nothing to say if you want to bring her back, but I hope you respect Essie’s opinions.”Sonya frowned in displeasure.I’ve already asked Essie just now. I wonder what sorcery Roxanne has cast on her to make her refuse to go home. That’s why I turned to ask Roxanne, but I didn’t expect this woman to be so tactless!Sonya was livid.Just then, Estella spoke. “Grandma, I don’t want to go home. I want to stay here and play with Archie and Benny.”Estella looked at Sonya pitifully.Usually, when Estella wore such an expression, Sonya would have gone along with her wishes. However, she was filled with rage right now, so Estella’s look only added fuel to the fire.“You have to go home even if you don’t want to. You belong to the Farwell family. How can you stay at some
The abandoned Wife Unsettled reunion
Ten minutes ago, Catalina had been instructing the rest of the household staff on their chores when she heard the doorbell ring.The moment she opened the door, she saw that it was Sonya.Before Catalina could greet her, Sonya questioned her, “Where’s Essie? Tell Essie to come out. Tell her that her grandma is here.”Catalina was put in a difficult position.Estella had not been in the manor for the past few days.She had thought that the little girl was with Sonya.However, judging from Sonya’s reaction, Catalina knew there and then that Estella was with Roxanne.It was obvious that Sonya must have discovered that, and that explained her anger.As a servant, Catalina did not know how to answer her question. In the end, she replied, “I will inform Mr. Farwell right away.”She was about to go and seek help from Lucian when Sonya stopped her in her tracks.“I want to see Essie. If she doesn’t come down, I will go up myself.”With that, she began to walk upstairs.Catalina had no choice

“Please wait for a moment as Mrs. Farwell is taking a nap. I’ll tell her you’re here.” After inviting Aubree to sit on the couch in the living hall, the butler was ready to go up to call Sonya.Aubree knitted her brows and responded, “It’s okay. I can go up and check on her.”The butler knew Sonya doted on her. He hesitated but eventually agreed to allow her to go upstairs.Aubree responded with a nod. After plastering a smile on her face, she took the stairs and went up.Sonya had just woken up from her nap in the master bedroom upstairs. Upon hearing a knock on the door, she opened it right away.“Mrs. Farwell.” Aubree grinned politely. “I hope I’m not disturbing you.”Sonya, too, responded with a smile when she realized it was Aubree. “Not at all. I just woke up.”Aubree walked up to her and held her arm affectionately. “I brought you lots of gifts. Let’s go down and check them out.”“Aww, you’re too sweet.” Sonya glanced at her. “You didn’t have to do that. I’m happy that you’re h
The abandoned Wife Veiled Schemes
The search lasted the entire morning.The grim-faced Cayden, who returned with his subordinates in the afternoon, said, “We found nothing, Mr. Farwell.”Admittedly, Cory was an excellent private investigator.Cayden could not help but wonder how he had managed to keep in touch with his employers.Not only did Cayden not find any evidence of how the mastermind instructed Cory to spy on Roxanne, but he also could not find proof that could expose Cory’s identity as a private investigator.Cory began playing the sympathy card. “Mr. Farwell, I told you no one instructed me to do anything.”Lucian waited for half a day but did not get the answer he was looking for. His eyes blazed with fury when he saw the pretentious innocent look on the culprit’s face.“If no one put you up to this, why did you stalk her?” he asked.Cory blinked innocently. “B-Because I find Ms. Jarvis attractive. I wished to snap photos of her since I was trying my hand at photography.”He had felt nervous before Cayden
The abandoned Wife Silent Interrogation
Meanwhile, Lucian, too, ordered Cayden to investigate the issue.With Farwell Group’s financial capability, the investigation was carried out effortlessly.In less than an hour, Cayden had managed to bring the private investigator to Farwell Group.It was not until the private investigator was led to Farwell Group’s entrance that he realized something was off.“D-Did I do something wrong? Why did you bring me here?”Cayden cast him a cold glance. “Why are you asking me that? I’m not the one who calls the shots here. You’ll find out soon.”The private investigator’s legs trembled when he heard Cayden’s words.The only person who came to mind when he thought of the person who called the shots for Farwell Group was none other than Lucian Farwell.The private investigator had recently been following Roxanne around on Aubree’s orders. During those times, he had indeed seen Roxanne interacting with Lucian.Yet, he paid no mind to that.After all, he was merely doing as instructed. He did no
The abandoned Wife Unraveling Secrets
Upon hearing that, the doubtful Roxanne and Madilyn exchanged glances.They had spoken to nearly all the research institutes that could develop that specific bacterium in Horington, and only that research institute confirmed that their laboratory had previously lost the bacteria.Although it happened half a month ago, the bacteria could remain viable as long as they were appropriately preserved.Madilyn was aware of that and didn’t hesitate to ask, “How did you guys lose the bacteria back then? Do you guys have any findings now?”The person’s answer did not disappoint them. “One of the researchers should have taken it,” he said frankly.Madilyn was filled with confusion when she heard that.“Although we have no solid evidence, we were certain about that. Two days after the bacteria went missing, that researcher suddenly quit. We haven’t heard from her since then,” the person continued.Before Madilyn could speak, Roxanne asked, “What’s the name of that researcher?”The person on the o
The abandoned Wife Lost and Found Bacteria
At the side, Estella had her head lifted and gazed at Roxanne, looking hopeful.Roxanne’s gaze flickered. Only after obtaining Lucian’s promise did she forcibly suppress the worry within her.“Got it. I’ll take good care of Essie for the next few days.”Lucian indifferently inclined his head a fraction in acknowledgment. Shortly after, he took his leave and left.Roxanne watched as his car disappeared into the distance before bringing Archie, Benny, and Estella into the mansion.All three children were already starving to the point that their stomachs growled incessantly.Without tarrying, Roxanne prepared some quick and easy breakfast to fill their stomachs first.After having breakfast, she had the children play by themselves while she stood up and went into the study.She simply couldn’t sit back and do nothing about the person who used the bacteria on the children.Worse still, Lucian left Estella at her place. Hence, she wanted to catch the culprit as soon as possible to eliminat
The abandoned Wife Unexpected Arrangements
“Have you and the kids been here?”Lucian came to a stop under a gigantic tree.Stopping with him, Roxanne looked around before shaking her head. “No.”That tree was located at the edge of the woods.Yesterday, she had been with Archie, Benny, and Estella in the woods or by the waterfall.As such, they indeed hadn’t been to that particular spot.Nodding in understanding, Lucian motioned for her to take a look at the bottom of the tree.Roxanne followed his gaze and took a closer look, upon which she made out a vague footprint.From the looks of it, it obviously belonged to an adult.As the footprints moved toward the edge of the gra*sy area, they grew increasingly faint.Therefore, she had no way of knowing whether the owner of those footprints had gone anywhere near the tent.However, it was certain that someone else was there yesterday other than her and the children.In fact, that person had been watching from the side while she was playing with the children.That realization had a
The abandoned Wife Revelation And Resilience
After Archie, Benny, and Estella had dozed off, Roxanne turned off the small night light in the tent.Consequently, the tent was pitch-dark right then, and she had no idea whether Lucian was asleep on the other side.Well, I didn’t hear any movement in a long time, so he has probably gone to sleep.At that thought, Roxanne quietly got up and left the tent. She sat outside under the moonlight alone and stared blankly into space.The weather had been great for the past two days. The moon shone brightly, but there weren’t many stars in the sky.For safety reasons, Lucian had the headlights turned on, illuminating the tent’s surroundings and rendering it like daylight.As Roxanne looked at the scenery around her, her mind gradually began drifting.Too many things had happened that day.At first, the children suddenly contracted a bacterial infection. Then, she inexplicably ended up in the same space as Lucian.Both of the incidents had her emotions turn into a jumbled mess.While she was
