The abandoned Wife Broken Trust
Roxanne didn’t even let him finish his sentence before she bellowed angrily, “Don’t you think you’re going a little bit overboard? No matter what happened in the past, it should stay between us. Just come at me instead! I won’t say no to that, but the kids are innocent. They don’t know anything. Why are you doing this to them?”She dug her fingernails into her palm in an attempt to calm herself down. Trying her best to stop her voice from wavering, she continued, “Yes, I shouldn’t have done that in the past. That was my fault, so feel free to get revenge on me for that. But please, can’t you find it in your generous, generous heart to forgive my kids?”She looked down after that, feeling her eyes start to water from frustration.The head of kindergarten had been right. It wasn’t hard for her to find another kindergarten for the kids, but that was only if Lucian didn’t interfere.If he wasn’t willing to let either of them go, then she couldn’t do anything no matter how much power she h

Roxanne hesitated for a few seconds before telling Madilyn about everything that had happened today.When she heard about Lucian being petty enough to take it out on the two kids, Madilyn was extremely pissed off. “What kind of man is he? How can he do that to kids? I won’t let this happen to my godsons! I’m going to tell him off.”She was about to storm out of the house, but Roxanne quickly pulled her back.They sat down on the couch and Roxanne chuckled. “It’s fine. I’ve already gone to talk to him. On the way back, I thought it through. You know what? This is a good chance to really cut things off with him. I don’t have to worry about him stealing the boys away from me anymore.”However, Madilyn still couldn’t let it go. “What about Archie and Benny? How are you going to explain to them?”Roxanne was still stressing out about that. She hesitated before replying, “I’ll come up with something.”The two of them continued chatting about the matter for a little while until it got late a

Roxanne’s expression became even more scornful at his explanation. “Aubree? So basically it was your idea too, right? Who in Horington still doesn’t know about the marriage between the Pearson family and the Farwell family? Aren’t you afraid she’ll feel bad after hearing how desperately you’re trying to clear boundaries with her right now?”She pulled her wrist out of the man’s grasp and said coldly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Farwell. I’m not shameless, and I won’t annoy you anymore, so you don’t have to explain anything to me.”After that, she walked off without looking back.A dark cloud formed over Lucian’s expression as he watched her leave.Estella began crying uncontrollably after standing in shock for a few seconds. She tossed her father’s hand aside and started to run after Roxanne’s car.She had a feeling that she might not see Roxanne again after this.Estella felt immense panic at the thought and she didn’t know what to do.In her panic, she tripped over a rock on the ground and fe

Close to an hour later, James stepped out of the room, looking quite exhausted.Nothing had worked to the effect that he was hoping for, in spite of him having doled out every trick in the book that he knew of just to coax some manner of response from Estella.“How did it go?” Lucian inquired anxiously.James shook his head. “Essie has completely shut herself in. She has refused to communicate with anyone and is resistant even to me. My guess is that she must have been triggered by something. The only way to resolve this is by identifying the source of her trauma.”Lucian’s expression dimmed when he heard that.Seemingly unaware of the change in his friend’s mood, James continued to ask of the latter in earnest, “Has Essie encountered any situation recently that might have brought about this change in her emotional state?”Memories of the kid breaking her silence because of Roxanne came flowing back to Lucian. The answer thus became obvious to him.After a moment’s pause, Lucian recou

Hearing that, Cayden hurriedly drove to the theme park.After getting the tickets and entering the place, both of them realized that they did not know where Roxanne was.“Let’s split up. Call me the moment you find her,” Lucian ordered coldly.Cayden nodded in response, and the both of them headed in different directions to look for the woman.Soon, the assistant called, “Mr. Farwell, I think I see Ms. Jarvis.”Lucian asked for his whereabouts and instantly headed that way.Since it was a weekday, there weren’t a lot of people visiting Universe Park. Both of them instantly saw the four figures standing outside the haunted house.It seemed as if the four of them were in a stalemate. Though, to be exact, Roxanne was at a standstill with Archie and Benny.The children were holding on to each of her arms, and she was standing rooted to the ground.“Mommy! Come on in with us. We’ll protect you,” Benny whined while tugging at her arm.Apprehension was written all over Roxanne’s face.Right

Lucian’s eyes darkened at her words. He originally planned to get straight to the point and tell her what he was after, but it felt as though her question had pierced right through his heart.If he were to tell her that he needed her help, the woman would have come up with something sarcastic to ridicule him.Staying silent for a few seconds, Lucian approached her in another way. “I just think that I haven’t given you a proper explanation regarding Archie and Benny getting kicked out of school. I hope that you’ll calm down and hear me out.”Roxanne was already determined that he was the one behind this incident. All she felt was irony when she heard what was just said.Explain? What’s there to explain? Did he not have enough of his fun over the past few days?At the thought of this, a cold glint flashed through her eyes. Her tone was distant as she said, “Mr. Farwell, you hold great power, so do whatever you want. You don’t have to deliberately explain after doing what you did. I don’

Lucian was perplexed and dumbfounded.It was only after a long time that Lucian managed to recollect his thoughts. He held on to her slender wrist, lowered his voice, and uttered word-by-word in precise clarity, “Since when did I say that Estella is Aubree’s child?”Roxanne’s wrist started to hurt, but she was distracted by his mind-blowing statement. Shock and suspicion filled her heart.Estella is not Aubree’s child!No wonder Aubree was not there that day when Estella was sick.However, from what she knew, no one else got together with Lucian besides Aubree.Who can it be? Who’s Estella’s mother?The thoughts started to overwhelm Roxanne, and she struggled to resist popping the question.“Mommy!” two familiar voices called out to Roxanne. “We finally found you! Are you okay?”The children ran frantically toward Roxanne, whose wrist was clutched tightly by Lucian.Archie and Benny exchanged glances before scrambling toward Roxanne.“Mommy, don’t be worried. We will protect you!” Ben

Cayden was driving at a blazing speed, and they arrived at the manor shortly after.After getting down from the car, Lucian led Roxanne, Archie, and Benny and rushed toward the second floor of the building.Meanwhile, James was waiting upstairs. Because of Estella’s resistance, he had to keep his distance while monitoring her, fearing that she would harm herself. Hence, he left the door slightly ajar and silently stood at the entrance.When he saw the four of them, James had his brows slightly knitted before nodding. “Ms. Jarvis.”Roxanne nodded in reply, and her attention was focused exclusively on Estella. “Where’s Essie? Let me take a look at her.”James pointed toward the corner of the room.Roxanne walked in that direction, and she saw Estella curled in the corner with her knees tucked in, and her eyes looked empty like a soulless doll.Recalling how Estella used to welcome her with a sweet, bright smile, Roxanne’s heart was wrenched in pain, suffocating her.This morning, Estell

“Trust me.” Following Lucian’s gentle murmur, a soft kiss fell on Roxanne’s lips.Roxanne instinctively held her breath and gazed at the man before her dazedly.Her eyes flickered when she thought of his words earlier, and she finally let down her guard.Although Lucian wanted to deepen the kiss, he could only test the waters carefully as he wasn’t sure about Roxanne’s feelings. Sensing that, Roxanne slowly closed her eyes.The next second, Lucian pulled her into his arms and engulfed her in a heated kiss.After a long time, Roxanne began to run out of breath. She pushed at Lucian’s chest, and only then did he let go of her reluctantly.Lucian panted heavily with furrowed brows, his eyes as deep as the ocean. As he stared at Roxanne, it seemed as if he was going to devour her.Upon meeting his eyes, Roxanne felt her heart skip a beat. She averted her gaze in a panic and forced herself to stay calm. “Let’s eat. The kids must be starving.”Then, she dished up the food nonchalantly to b
The abandoned Wife Culinary Confessions
“Let me help you.” Lucian picked up the kitchen knife as he returned to his senses.Seeing Lucian holding a kitchen knife in his hand felt weird as he looked like a nobleman in his expensive tailored shirt and trousers.Err… he looks out of place.Roxanne was at a loss for words as she watched on.She had wanted to treat Lucian coldly when he told her to make way but was too stunned to do so.Lucian clumsily sliced through the vegetables as he wasn’t used to doing all this.He managed to double the amount of time Roxanne would have normally spent on cutting the vegetables.Roxanne quickly returned to her senses just as Lucian was about to carry on with preparing dinner. “Please leave the rest to me.”Lucian stepped aside and watched Roxanne as he knew he wasn’t good at cooking.Roxanne felt awkward being watched, so her actions were rather stiff.“Are you regretting your actions just now?” Lucian suddenly spoke up.Roxanne paused as his question completely caught her off guard.

Benny could not help but chuckle after complaining. His laughter influenced the other two children to chuckle uncontrollably as well.The children came upstairs to take a look as they were worried about Roxanne.However, they did not expect to see the scene of Lucian hugging Roxanne when they went up.Hence, the children paused in their steps and hid in the corner to watch secretly.They were all a little taken aback to see that Roxanne was attempting to return Lucian’s hug. Their eyes were wide with expectation, and they did not notice when Roxanne was looking back at them.Although the children were caught peeking, they were much happier than any other day.Becoming a family shouldn’t be a far-fetched dream from how Mommy and Daddy have gone further than reconciling.”Let go of me now…” Roxanne’s face flushed, and her voice was brimming with guilt from being seen by her children.Lucian then let go of her slowly, but one of his arms was still on her waist. He looked solemnly at the
The abandoned Wife Aftermath of Regret: A Tale of Redemption and Forgiveness
The child’s innocent question only made Lucian feel more horrible. The word “homewrecker” was a cruel term.However, Lucian was the reason behind Aubree’s guts to call Roxanne that.Realizing that, Lucian felt a suffocating pain in his heart, followed by an overwhelming guilt.When there was no answer from Lucian after some time, Benny started to panic. “Mommy’s not a homewrecker!”Lucian snapped back to reality and patted his head with a heavy feeling. “How could your mommy be a homewrecker? She’s—”Lucian stopped talking and said no more.Surprisingly, the children did not press on.The answer about Roxanne not being a homewrecker was enough to make them relieved.Lucian got up from among them, informing, “I’m going upstairs to have a look. Stay here and wait for me, okay?”The children nodded fervently and watched Lucian head upstairs.When he reached Roxanne’s room door, he knocked on it, but there was no response inside.“Roxanne, it’s me. Open up. I want to talk to you.”It was

Jonathan sent the two to the hospital, handled the ward admission procedure, and asked someone to take care of them before he left. He feared he would lose his temper if he stayed there with Frieda.Before leaving, he still felt worried, so he ordered his subordinates, “Keep a close eye on her during this period. Contact me first thing when you notice anything unusual about her.”Naturally, the subordinates promised without hesitation.Jonathan turned around and took one last glance at the ward before letting out a heavy sigh. With that, he strode out of the hospital.After getting into the car, Jonathan pondered whether he should pay Roxanne a visit.After all, judging by Aubree’s and his sister’s appearance, he figured the trio had gotten into a fight. Frieda and Aubree were already terribly injured. He could not help but wonder if Roxanne was injured as well.After mulling over it for some time, Jonathan dismissed the idea. Instead, he called Lucian.Rightfully, if Roxanne was rea
The abandoned Wife Confronting Shadows: The Unraveling of Tensions
Before Frieda could react, Roxanne had already jabbed the needle into Aubree’s shoulder. Upon hearing Aubree’s agonized scream, Frieda returned to her senses and tried to stand between the two women despite her fear.Immediately after she took the first step forward, and before she was able to say anything, a needle was inserted into her wrist.An excruciating pain shot through her body at once, and Frieda’s mind went blank. Instinctively, she held her wrist and squatted down. She was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face continuously.“You shouldn’t interfere. This is between Ms. Pearson and me,” Roxanne said coldly before going around Frieda and squatting next to Aubree expressionlessly.Without Frieda’s support, Aubree was hardly able to stand up straight and was resisting the urge to roll on the ground as waves of pain washed over her.Seeing that Roxanne was not about to let her off, the woman bellowed anxiously, “B*tch! Kill me if you can! Otherwise, I will definite

Her provocation caused Roxanne to ball her hands into fists by her sides. The kids were right in front of them, so she didn’t want to cause a huge ruckus.However, Aubree paid no attention to the children as she continued, “Since they are here, they should also learn what a b*tch you are. Lucian is engaged to me, but you wouldn’t let go of him! Did you forget that you had the boys out of wedlock? You don’t have the right to be with Lucian!”Roxanne’s expression turned dark. “Are you done!”Aubree looked at her with a cold stare, ready to continue her tirade, but Roxanne stepped forward, her face emotionless.Fear crept up Aubree’s throat as she furrowed her brows.The realization that she was afraid of Roxanne made her furious. “Hit me if you dare!” she hollered.Right after she said that, a cushion was thrown in her face.Aubree stopped talking abruptly. Her face was grim as she faced the direction from which the cushion had been thrown.Even Roxanne was startled at the turn of even

“Aubree!” Frieda only came back to her senses after Aubree left in a huff.A loud slam sounded downstairs.Frieda hurried over to the balcony to see Aubree marching into her car and driving away swiftly.The sight caused Frieda to ball up her fists in frustration.I came here today to convince Aubree not to act recklessly! Instead of achieving that, I have actually given her the idea of settling scores with Roxanne. If she heads there alone, she’ll surely cause a commotion!Frieda quickly ran down the stairs and went after Aubree’s car, which was heading for Roxanne’s house.…On the other hand, Roxanne and the children had no idea about what happened back in Aubree’s house.Roxanne was preparing lunch for the children in the kitchen.“Mommy, will Mr. Farwell have lunch with us today?” Benny asked eagerly at the door of the kitchen.The children noticed Lucian’s dedication as he showed up every day, but they still felt uncertain.Hearing that, Roxanne paused in her tracks. She belate

No matter how she thought about it, Aubree just couldn’t calm down. It wasn’t until she gave Cory a call that she found out about Roxanne’s discharge from the hospital.Without a doubt, the news further unsettled her.After much contemplation, she steeled herself and gave Lucian a call.However, she had to wait for a long while before she heard an answer in a frosty voice. “What is it?”Despite gritting her teeth, she maintained a caring tone. “Lucian, I just received a call from Ms. Yaxley saying that Essie has missed school recently. Is she not feeling well?”The moment she finished, Aubree felt her heart tense up as if she was afraid of hearing Lucian say that Estella was at Roxanne’s.Furrowing his brows in brief silence, Lucian replied, “Essie is at my mom’s. You don’t have to bother. As for the teacher, just inform her that Essie is sick.”Due to the bad blood between Aubree and Roxanne, Lucian didn’t plan on letting the former know where Estella really was.In addition, Lucian
