The abandoned Wife Entwined Destinies: Echoes of Change
Thankfully, Lucian wasn’t insistent and put his daughter down on the ground as she wanted. However, just as he was about to reach for Estella’s hand, he realized she had already scampered away.For a moment, Lucian was stunned as he subconsciously turned to look behind him.To his surprise, he saw Roxanne and the rest smiling fondly at Estella, with the former even walking toward the little girl.It was a rare sight as Estella ran toward the school’s entrance while waving wordlessly at Roxanne and the boys.Seeing that the little girl was too caught up in the excitement to care about road safety, Roxanne quickly rushed over to hold her hand. When she saw Lucian walking calmly toward them, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of helplessness.Estella grinned from ear to ear as she held Roxanne’s hand. Once they stopped walking, she even hugged the latter’s leg affectionately.Archie and Benny weren’t jealous either and greeted Estella with big, friendly smiles.When Lucian finally came t

By the time the treatment was over, Frieda had also returned home.Upon finding out from the butler that Roxanne was treating Alfred, she made a beeline for the latter’s bedroom.“Grandpa, how are you feeling?” Frieda asked concernedly the moment she stepped into the room.Alfred nodded slightly. “Much better.”Having lived for so long, he had gained an understanding of how traditional medicine worked and had also consulted countless famous doctors.Roxanne, however, had come as a delightful surprise to him.After each course of her treatment, Alfred would always feel a significant improvement in his health, which was something that not even the best doctors in the world could achieve.Frieda looked her grandfather over and finally nodded with a smile. “That’s good to hear.”Then, she turned to Aubree and added, “Have you come to visit Grandpa too, Aubree? Since it’s getting late, why don’t you stay for dinner?”Naturally, Aubree had no objections to that and grinned broadly. “In that

Frieda glanced at Roxanne and was surprised to see her still so calm and composed. Hence, she turned to Aubree and said with a lilt to her voice, “Aubree, you and Lucian look so much in love! Have you picked a date for your wedding yet? I’m still waiting to be your bridesmaid!”As soon as those words were out, Roxanne froze in her tracks.Huh? What did she mean by that? Are Lucian and Aubree not married yet?Aubree, too, felt her smile freezing in place. After all, she hadn’t expected Frieda to bring up the wedding right there and then.Just as she began thinking about how best to change the topic, she felt Alfred’s concerned gaze on them. “That’s right. The two of you have been together for so many years. Even Estella has grown up too. Isn’t it time to settle down?”“Yes, you guys should’ve gotten married a long time ago. I don’t even know why you’ve dragged it on until now,” Jonathan teased.For a moment, everyone had their eyes on Lucian as they waited for his response.However, in

Jonathan, too, couldn’t help but furrow his brows.Since dinner started, he could already feel something was wrong between Lucian and the two women, but unfortunately, he couldn’t put his finger on it.“Aubree?” Frieda mumbled, baffled at how stunned her friend was.Thankfully, Aubree was brought back to her senses and quickly forced out a smile. “Well, I still have work to do, so I shan’t disturb you guys any longer.”Even though Jonathan and Frieda could tell that something was amiss with Aubree, they refrained from asking any more questions. After exchanging a few more words, they eventually saw her off.Once they were back in the mansion, Jonathan immediately turned to his sister. “Hey, how did you know that Dr. Jarvis has kids?”Frieda pursed her lips. “I saw them when I was out for lunch with Aubree. Oh, I also know that she’s Lucian’s ex-wife! I can’t believe she had the gall to come back!”Upon hearing that, Jonathan was momentarily shocked before realization dawned on him.No

Roxanne overheard Catalina’s words through the phone and know Estella wasn’t feeling well. Shepromptly got worried.After hearing what Lucian had to say, she made a U-turn and sped toward the Farwell residence.Twenty minutes later, her car rolled to a stop outside the Farwell residence.Recalling Estella’s condition, Roxanne shot the man a dubious look. “Take good care of Essie. If you need my help, just let me know anytime.”Lucian met her gaze mockingly. “If you’re that worried about her, why don’t you take a look at her? Besides, Essie adores you. If she sees you when she’s sick, I believe she’ll feel better.”With that said, he opened the door and got out before heading in the direction of the mansion.It appeared he was leaving it up to her whether she wanted to visit Estella.The sight of his back caused Roxanne to frown slightly.Essie’s sick. Shouldn’t he get her mother to visit her? No matter how busy Aubree is, she won’t ignore her sick daughter, right?As the thought of t

Roxanne explained, “We bumped into each other at my patient’s house. I heard that Essie was sick and decided to come to pay her a visit.”Hearing that, Catalina felt a stab in her heart. “That’s good. Ms. Estella will surely get better quickly if you keep her company,” she muttered under her breath.Roxanne assumed Catalina was referring to the fact that she was a doctor and could treat Estella’s condition by taking care of her. Chuckling, she inclined her head and promised, “Don’t worry. I’ll help out if Essie needs me.”Catalina was puzzled after hearing her reply.Why is Ms. Jarvis acting all formal? Ms. Estella is her daughter. Isn’t it natural for her to take care of her sick daughter? Besides, Ms. Estella would feel better if her mother were to stay by her side. Back then, it was Ms. Jarvis who treated my headaches. I know she’s a great doctor, so she is definitely capable of treating Ms. Estella’s fever.A wave of regret hit Catalina when she recalled the times Roxanne was stil

Beside her, Lucian heard the boys’ voices faintly and placed his work aside. He looked at her and was about to ask whether she had to head home to take care of them, but the sight of her tenderexpression made him change his mind.“Who normally takes care of the boys when you’re busy? Do they stay at home? Or do you hire someone to take care of them?” he asked.Roxanne told him, “My friend helps out. Now, Lysa will take care of them.”Lucian asked, “Was it the same when you were working overseas?”Despite not knowing why he posed that question, Roxanne answered instinctively, “I’d hire someone to take care of them or bring them to my workplace. My colleagues loved them.”Right after those words left her mouth, the living room went silent again.Roxanne lowered her gaze to check on the little girl’s condition.“They’re older now and easier to take care of. It must have been hard when they were younger,” Lucian said suddenly. His gaze fell on her as he pretended to ask nonchalantly, “Ho

Lucian’s brows snapped together. He hesitated briefly before accepting the blanket from Catalina. Bending his body, he draped the blanket over them carefully and tucked Roxanne in.After that, he was about to get up when his gaze landed on Roxanne’s sleeping face.Lucian froze, and he couldn’t keep his gaze off her.This was the first time he had ever seen her up close.It was obvious that she wasn’t sleeping well. Her lashes would flutter occasionally as though she would wake up any minute.Lucian wondered when she would wake up.Suddenly, she frowned in her sleep as her head slipped off the couch.Before she could fall off the couch, Lucian reached out instinctively to protect her head. She fell into his embrace instead.Suddenly, he registered the sensation of her soft cheek brushing against his palm.Lucian’s gaze turned dark. Afraid of waking her up, he didn’t move an inch.Roxanne was in his embrace, and Estella was in Roxanne’s embrace.Seeing that, a thought occurred to Catali

Did something nice happen in the kindergarten?”As soon as she ended her sentence, she glanced at Estella and was puzzled. If something did happen in the kindergarten, why isn’t Essie acting the same way as them?Upon detecting his mother’s confusion, Archie said, “Didn’t you see the news on the internet?”That confounded Roxanne even further.

Jonathan’s jaw dropped open in disbelief. If they aren’t his, why does he look so calm in comparison to me, who is freaking out?“What are you thinking?” He shot Lucian an incredulous look. “If you want to help Roxanne by stopping the haters online, then you can just publicize your relationship with her and issue warning letters through your lawyer. Why would you do this?”If it was revealed that the CEO of Farwell Group had claimed to be the biological father of his ex-wife’s children even though they were not his, no one would believe it. It sounded pretty ridiculous, but that was exactly what Lucian did.“If I only did that, the netizens will still a*sume the worst about the boys’ father.” Displeasure flashed across Lucian’s eyes as he explained, “The kids are innocent. If she’s willing to marry me, it will only be a matter of time before the boys become mine, too.”Lucian knew very well that the last thing Roxanne wanted was to drag the kids into her mess, so he was more than wil

Lucian went silent after hearing that.However, that piqued Jonathan’s interest. “Why? Is Roxanne working with the Damaris family again? Do you need my help with anything?”Lucian managed to detect the hint of derision in his voice and snickered. “Go on and acquire the Damaris family’s medicinal herbs company if you’d really like to help.”Jonathan rubbed his nose sheepishly and said, “Well, anything but that.”“Then there’s nothing you can do. Bye.”Lucian hung up the call right after that.Jonathan’s face was full of reproach as he watched his phone screen go dark.That was the second time Lucian had woken him up in the middle of the night and hung up after dropping a bomb on him.It had taken him considerable effort to finally drift off to sleep.Great.

Lucian had mentioned visiting Roxanne in the past few days, but she rejected him by saying she had work to do.

Let’s have lunch together,” Lucian suggested.He was determined to let Roxanne get some rest.Roxanne fell silent for a few moments when she heard the time he mentioned before replying apologetically, “Sorry, I’m not free.”Lucian frowned. “Why? Is there work that you have to complete?”Roxanne scratched her nose sheepishly. “I’ve promised to meet up with Mr. Damaris for lunch tomorrow to discuss a project.”Jack Damaris?Lucian’s expression instantly darkened.We’ve hardly been in contact these few days, and yet she’s been contacting him?What the elderlies from the nursing home said echoed in Lucian’s mind once again.After all, he and Roxanne did not work in the same industry.

At noon the next day, Jonathan brought Frieda shopping. They bought a bunch of gifts before driving to the restaurant where they were supposed to meet Roxanne. The restaurant was near the research institute. Due to the closeness of both locations, Roxanne thought she could head back to do some more work if their meeting ended early.Something in the research institute held her up, so Jonathan and Frieda were already waiting in the private room by the time she arrived.“I’m sorry, Dr. Jarvis. Did I interrupt your work?”Despite addressing Roxanne by her name in front of Lucian, Jonathan was mindful of his behavior and addressed her politely when she was present.Roxanne offered him a polite smile.
