It wasn’t until she heard Benny’s voice that Roxanne regained her senses and recalled that they were rehearsing.As for Lucian’s actions, it was needed by the script.Realizing that fact, the apologetic Roxanne smiled at the children. “I’m sorry for spacing out. Please continue.”After exchanging curious glances, the children obediently agreed.Meanwhile, Lucian, who was looking at Roxanne, had an epiphany that brought a grim expression to his face.Feeling guilty to the extent of not daring to look in his direction, Roxanne naturally didn’t notice the change in him.As the rehearsal continued, they had to change their roles.Roxanne, playing the princess after she was all grown up, did so with much aplomb.It wasn’t until the prince appeared while she was asleep that her frustrations began to build.Taking on the role of the prince, Lucian would either be too aloof or not angry enough when he faced Estella.Naturally, his performance caused Roxanne to worry.“Mr. Farwell, you’ll scar

Meanwhile, cla*s had ended at the kindergarten. With most of the students gone, only the three children were left waiting at the school field.They were in a particularly good mood as they were looking forward to the rehearsal later.While Archie and Benny would chat occasionally, Estella sat obediently by the side with a smile on her adorable face.“Why isn’t Ms. Lane here yet?” Benny began to grow curious when he noticed the sky turning dark.Ms. Lane has always arrived early, so why is she late today?Despite furrowing his brows, Archie rea*sured his brother, “Perhaps she’s occupied with something. Let’s just wait for a while longer.”At that moment, Lucian strode through the kindergarten entrance and was greeted by the sight of the three children sitting in a row.“Daddy!” Estella, the first to see him, waved at Lucian.After hurrying up to her, Lucian knitted his brows while staring at the brothers.Over the last few days, Lysa had been picking up the boys since Roxanne was avoid

In the brightly lit backyard, the boys were kicking a ball around while Estella, holding up her skirt, ambled behind them. Even though she didn’t manage to get a kick in, she smiled widely the entire time.“Mommy!” Benny, who had just kicked the ball in the direction of the door, was given a fright when he suddenly saw Roxanne emerge from the house.The moment she stepped out, Roxanne was stunned to see the ball flying straight at her face.Just when it was inches away from her, she felt a hand reach out from behind and pull her to the side.In the next second, the ball brushed past her body before falling onto the ground.As Lucian appeared from behind Roxanne, he looked at the dumbstruck children and instructed in a deep voice, “Come back in for dinner.”It wasn’t until they gradually gathered their wits that they hurried up to Roxanne’s side.“Mommy, I’m sorry for scaring you. Are you all right?” Benny apologized meekly.Roxanne gave his hair a rea*suring tousle. “I’m fine, but you

At the sight of Estella throwing herself into Lucian’s arms, Roxanne stopped awkwardly and held back the two boys running behind her.“Daddy!” Unaware of the change in Roxanne’s mood, Estella tugged ecstatically at Lucian’s sleeve. “Let’s play hide and seek for a while before going home!”Lowering his head to gaze at Estella, Lucian then shifted his attention to Roxanne with an indiscernible look in his eyes.When she met his gaze, Roxanne felt a sudden sense of guilt.She had just reprimanded the brothers for running wildly with Estella. But now, she was the one doing it instead.After an awkward silence, Lucian remarked in a deep voice, “It’s getting late. I’ll be taking Essie home now.”He had barely finished when he turned toward Estella and said, “We have to go now, but we’ll come back again tomorrow.”Despite puffing her cheeks up to express her unwillingness, Estella recognized that she had had a lot of fun that evening already. After a brief hesitation, she demonstrated her ac

Having heard Lucian’s words, the frowning Roxanne felt a strong sense of resistance within her.Lucian’s deep voice rang out again. “If we don’t rehearse it, please don’t accuse me of taking advantage of you when I kiss you by mistake.”In that moment, Roxanne couldn’t believe her ears.Nevertheless, she did find the scenario Lucian had conjured up to be entirely possible.“Besides, neither of us are actors by profession. If we don’t practice, how would we know where we should stand to make the kiss realistic?” Lucian, who could sense her wavering, pressed on calmly, causing her to feel ambivalent about the matter.She admitted that he had a point. However, given that the anniversary celebration was still a few days away, she would have to be in close proximity to him for consecutive days if they were to rehearse the scene.In the midst of her hesitation, Estella’s squeaky voice piped up, “Why are we rehearsing everything but this scene?”She proceeded to give Roxanne a quizzical yet

After several days of rehearsal, it was finally Friday.When Roxanne went to pick the little ones up in the evening, she saw the children carrying a pile of clothes in their arms. Excitement was written all over their faces.“Look, Mommy! These are our costumes!” Benny showed her the costumes as Roxanne walked toward him.Roxanne nodded gently in response and took over the outfits from the boys.Meanwhile, Estella was also waiting at one side while carrying two pairs of costumes—one for her and one for Lucian.Estella had always been physically weak. That was why she seemed to have difficulties carrying the costumes and a bag on her back.Once Roxanne took over the costumes from Benny and Archie, the boys ran to her and helped her with the clothes.Estella gratefully pa*sed the garments to the boys and thanked them.The three children then lined up in front of Roxanne, waiting for her to lead them to the car.In the last couple of days, Roxanne would always take them back together.

Estella was going to say something else, but Roxanne interrupted her, “It’s late. We have to get up early tomorrow. Let’s hurry up and wash up and go to bed.”It was obvious that Roxanne didn’t want to continue with the topic.Estella’s eyes turned dark, but she listened to Roxanne obediently and said nothing else.She slept with Roxanne. As she rarely had the chance to sleep with Roxanne, she slept soundly that night.Roxanne, however, couldn’t help but recall Estella’s innocent question.What did Lucian do wrong?There was only one answer that she could think of to that question. Other than the fact that he didn’t like her, he didn’t seem to have done anything else to hurt her.However, that alone was enough to make Roxanne keep a distance from him.Besides, Sonya and Aubree had also been keeping an eye on her.Roxanne did not sleep well that night as thoughts flooded her mind, and she woke up very early the next day.Meanwhile, Estella was still snuggled next to Roxanne, sleeping s

Chloe, who was holding onto Ca*sandra’s hand, suddenly saw that Archie and Benny were eating something. She asked curiously, “Archie, Benny, what are you two eating?”“Candy.” Archie and Benny opened their mouths to show her.After that, they touched their pockets and looked at Chloe apologetically. “We’ve finished ours. Otherwise, we could have shared two with you.”The disappointment was written all over Chloe’s face when she heard that.Roxanne’s heart softened when she saw how sad Chloe looked. She remembered the candies inside Estella’s pocket and called out to Estella, “Essie, can you give two candies to Chloe?”Estella turned at the sound of Roxanne’s voice and nodded, trying to take a few candies from her pocket.However, as she was being carried by Lucian, she couldn’t move her hands much. Besides, the pocket of the witch costume was deep. After trying for a long time and still couldn’t reach the candies, she looked at Lucian for help.Lucian did not seem to notice Estella’s

The abandoned Wife Unexpected Visitor
The boys were exhilarated for nearly the whole day after seeing the announcement in the morning.When night fell, Roxanne had just stepped into the house when Archie and Benny flung themselves at her in excitement. “Mommy!”She was slightly perplexed by their gleeful demeanor. “What’s going on? 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. What news on the internet?Excitedly, Benny added, “Mr. Farwell claimed that we’re his children, just like Essie!”Did I hear that right? Lucian said Archie and Benny are his children? How’s that possible? Roxanne was stunned.He could tell his mother was befuddled, so he grabbed the laptop, clicked on a public forum, and showed it to her.Farwell Group’s
The abandoned Wife Family Matters
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

The medicinal herb company owned by the Damaris family was mainly run by their own people, leaving outsiders nothing but envy. 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.

The abandoned Wife The Strategic Pursuit
It was already past nine at night when Roxanne reached home. As she got out of the car, she felt anxious and guilty for leaving the children alone at home.Hence, she hurried into the mansion, but as soon as she entered, she was greeted with the lively sounds of the children playing with each other and running around.Roxanne stopped in her tracks and looked inside the living room, surprised.Initially, she thought Madilyn had come over, but Lucian was sitting on the couch instead.As if sensing her presence, the man turned around to look.When their gazes met, Roxanne’s shock intensified. “What are you doing here?”Didn’t we agree on meeting some other day?Upon noticing her return, the children stopped playing and gathered around her, yearning for affection.“Mommy, you came home so late! Daddy’s been waiting for a long time!”Roxanne ruffled the children’s hair, but her gaze was still locked on Lucian.Lucian sat on the couch, crossing his legs. The button on his collar was undone

Lucian had mentioned visiting Roxanne in the past few days, but she rejected him by saying she had work to do. When he heard Estella mention that Roxanne was rarely home, he finally realized how hard she had been working recently.“Are you free tomorrow at noon? 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.

Gina glared at her daughter resentfully. “You knew about it, didn’t you?”Aubree’s involvement in the company’s affairs meant that she must have known who the culprit was, yet she still permitted Frieda to visit her, much to Gina’s bafflement.If I knew the Queen family was behind this, I wouldn’t have allowed Frieda to enter our house!Aubree’s eyes had also turned red. “So what if I did know?

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. Her gaze then landed on Frieda, and confusion crossed her eyes.If I’m not mistaken, Frieda never liked me.
