The abandoned Wife Collaborative Ressolve
However, Jonathan had been harboring a thought ever since he learned that Roxanne was Lucian’s ex-wife who had left without a word, and he could not help but ask it at that moment. “What relationship does Dr. Jarvis have with Essie? I’ve never seen Essie so reliant on anyone.”Even though Jonathan did not say it out loud, Lucian could guess what Jonathan was trying to ask. Hence, he mildly replied, “Essie’s her daughter.”Jonathan had long guessed that, but hearing it from Lucian was another matter. It took Jonathan a while to come back to his senses after hearing Lucian’s response.The time Roxanne left and Estella’s age, along with how close Estella was with Roxanne, made Jonathan suspect that Estella was Roxanne’s daughter.However, it seemed Roxanne treated Estella like any ordinary child whenever they interacted, so Jonathan dared not jump to any conclusions about that.Thus, he was perplexed to hear Lucian’s confession.So Dr. Jarvis doesn’t know about this? She gave birth to t
The abandoned Wife Benevolent Connections
Jonathan could see that Roxanne was worried, and he could decipher what she was worried about, so he rephrased his words. “Queen Group won’t have a falling out with Farwell Group because of something trivial as this, and I won’t risk Queen Group either. Naturally, I’ve made all the preparations before coming here to talk about this with you.” The hesitance on Roxanne’s face slowly faded away as she stared at his confident expression. However, she still could not stop herself from asking, “But why are you helping me out? Is it just because I cured Old Mr. Queen’s illness?”When Jonathan thought about his conversation with Lucian the night before, the thoughts he had whilst he looked into Roxanne’s eyes changed.However, Roxanne only felt strange as she stared back at him.Half a beat later, Jonathan slowly stated, “My grandpa had been bedbound for years, and it’s all thanks to you, Dr. Jarvis, that he can recover to this point. Moreover, you’ve said before that my grandpa was already
The abandoned Wife Eroded Trust
Ignoring their responses, Roxanne proceeded to sit down in front of Jonathan.When Jonathan saw that Lucian was still standing there, he stated quickly, “Lucian, since Dr. Jarvis doesn’t mind, join us. Recently, Dr. Jarvis’ research institute has encountered some problems. You may be able to help her!”Lucian merely frowned before sitting down.Since Roxanne did not run away upon seeing him, he decided to stay on as well.However, Roxanne acted as if Lucian was not there after inviting him to join them. When the dishes were served, she raised her gla*s and remarked, “Thank you for helping me out with the herb suppliers, Mr. Queen.”Jonathan did not make a big deal out of it. Clinking gla*ses with her, he responded, “You’re most welcome, Dr. Jarvis. I’m not the only one who has helped you with regard to this issue.”Upon hearing that, Roxanne frowned, as she did not understand what he meant.Jonathan was about to say more when someone glared at him.Sensing Lucian’s stare, Jonathan act
The abandoned Wife Unspoken Tensions and Chaos
At the mention of Estella’s condition, Roxanne’s heart clenched. Yet, she couldn’t show it in front of Lucian.Just when she was determined to feign indifference, Jonathan abruptly turned the subject to her. “I remember Essie liked you a lot back when you came to treat my grandfather, Dr. Jarvis. I wonder if her condition will improve if she spends more time with you.”After saying that, he nonchalantly added, “It was the first time I have ever seen her showing such favor for someone else that I was shocked then.”Roxanne’s hand tightened around the fork in her hand. She didn’t know how to tell him that she was the reason for Estella’s aggravated condition.At the side, Lucian agreed with Jonathan and stared at her with a grim look in his eyes.In the past, she’d relent as long as I brought up Essie before her. But this time, it’s painfully clear that she has already hardened her heart to it all.Silence reigned at the dining table, and Roxanne could distinctly sense the two men’s gaz
The abandoned Wife Unforeseen Ride
“Mr. Farwell?”When Cayden saw his employer walking over with Roxanne, he subconsciously presumed that the latter would be getting into their car. Unexpectedly, he saw her getting into the car with Jonathan while Lucian stood outside.After a moment, he decided to call out to the man cautiously.His brows furrowing slightly, Lucian bent down and climbed into the car.Cayden slowly started the car and drove out of the parking lot.Meanwhile, in the adjacent car, Jonathan asked Roxanne for her address and ordered the driver to drop her home first.In response, the driver murmured an acknowledgment.He moved to start the car, but it simply wouldn’t start.It still didn’t work after multiple tries. “The car seems to have broken down, Mr. Queen,” the driver reported helplessly.Upon hearing that, Jonathan imperceptibly swept his gaze over Roxanne beside him. He wore a grim expression. “It was just fine when we came over. Why did it suddenly break down?”A conflicted expression manifested o
The abandoned Wife Unsettling Revelations
Dead silence reigned in the car. One could sense that the atmosphere was entirely different from when Jonathan was present earlier, giving off a sense of an impending storm.Roxanne was sitting straight, her gaze trained right ahead. She tried her best to ignore the man beside her.She wasn’t sure whether she was imagining things, but his piercing gaze seemingly locked on her since Jonathan alighted from the car. It had her tensing up subconsciously.All of a sudden, Lucian’s voice rang out beside her.“Have I offended you in any way, Ms. Jarvis?”Relief suffused Roxanne when she heard his voice. She flashed him a detached smile. “Why would you say that, Mr. Farwell?”Lucian eyed her with a dark look, his voice threaded with displeasure. “If that’s not the case, why are you avoiding me thus, Ms. Jarvis?”Frowning slightly, Roxanne feigned ignorance. “When have I avoided you, Mr. Farwell? Precisely speaking, I don’t have much of a chance to meet you since our work doesn’t intersect.”I
The abandoned Wife A Night's Unsettling Encounter
Roxanne made every effort to calm herself down. She met Lucian’s gaze calmly and stated gently, “With you acting in such a manner now, Lucian, I’ll only find you even more of a stranger.”As far as she remembered, he had always been calm and unruffled. In fact, he was rather apathetic.At least, that was his personality six years ago.At present, he had become unfathomable to her.Perhaps that comment of hers worked, for she sensed the grip on her chin seemingly relaxing gradually.She held her breath.A while later, Lucian withdrew his hand and sat back in his seat. He gazed at her with a complex look in his eyes. “What exactly do you want?”That question rang out before Roxanne could breathe a sigh of relief. At once, bewilderment swamped her.It should be me asking him that. I’ve already made my stance clear as day. What exactly does he want?“Never mind that you’re avoiding me, but you’re not even visiting Essie anymore. Are you really this callous, Roxanne?” Lucian pinned a sharp
The abandoned Wife Dreams Of Departure
It was already late in the night when Lucian returned to the Farwell residence.Estella had already fallen asleep a long while ago.Lucian’s heart ached when he was reminded of how Roxanne had completely avoided mentioning Estella just now. He went upstairs to Estella’s room.The little girl had a serene sleeping posture. She lay on her side with half her face covered with blanket, seemingly sound asleep.Lucian’s gaze softened at the sight of his daughter. He lifted his arm and patted her head. Then, he tucked her in before getting up and left.Just when he reached the door, he suddenly heard a sound behind him as if Estella was sobbing.He stopped abruptly in his tracks, turned on his heels, and returned to her bedside. Lucian gently pulled away the blanket covering Estella’s face and saw her brows furrowed, eyes shut, and beads of tears staining her long eyelashes.He wondered what kind of nightmare she was experiencing.Lucian felt sorrowful when he saw her daughter in that state.
