After Lucian said those words, he looked away from Aubree’s face.

He had decided to marry Aubree back then to repay the favor her grandfather had done for them.

That was why he interacted with the Pearson family so closely. That was also why he had agreed to marry Aubree when the elders of the families suggested it.

In fact, for a while, Lucian was sure that Aubree was his first crush.

That lasted until six years ago when that woman left without saying anything. It was then he realized that the feeling he had for Aubree was not love as he initially a*sumed.

After that, the elders of both families kept urging him to marry her, but he had found all kinds of excuses to delay the wedding.

In those six years, he had also done everything he could to a*sist the Pearson family and agreed to all kinds of business requests they made to repay them for the kindness back then.

Now, it seemed like he had done more than enough to repay them for that favor back then.

At the very least, it was enough f

  • The abandoned Wife    New Opportunities: The Queen Family's Offer

    “An increment of two percent?”Colby stiffened. “Ms. Pearson, haven’t we come to an agreement the other time? We’re now about to sign the contract, so why are you increasing the price all of a sudden;”At his shocked response, Aubree folded her legs and replied, “Indeed, we’ve agreed on it, but almost everything in the crude drug market has risen in price this year. If we were to sign the contract with the price we previously agreed on, we’ll be suffering a loss too great. Dr. Galloway, please forgive us.”She made it seem so rational.Colby’s expression tensed. Just as he frowned and was about to say something else, Roxanne stopped him again.“Ms. Pearson, you must want to suddenly raise the price because you saw me. I know the prices in the crude drug market well. We can have a negotiation if you want to increase prices, but raising it by two percent right here and now is far too unreasonable.”Roxanne wanted to be professional, but clearly, Aubree did not. Hence, there was no need

    Roxanne’s eve’s glistened with hope and she felt the boulder being lifted off her shoulders. “Why didn’t you say this earlier? That’s a great thing!”Colby beamed. “I thought about it, but admittedly I’m not good enough. Besides, you were not bere back then. Hence, I gave up and never thought about it until now. Perhaps you can give it a try. What do you think?”“Of course! Not a problem at all!”Roxanne confidently stood up to urge him. “Please help me contact the Queen family and help me make an appointment with them.”Looking at Roxanne’s passion for matters that concerned the research institute, Colby’s heart surged with a sense of relief. He smiled and said, “I’ll do that now. Wait for me here.”Then, he exited the office and pulled out his phone.Meanwhile, Roxanne sat quietly in the office and waited.Irrespective of how complex the treatment would be, Roxanne was determined to cure old Mr. Queen.Soon after, Colby returned.“How did it go?” Roxanne eagerly asked.Colby nodded.

  • The abandoned Wife    Unspoken Tension: Roxanne's Assessment

    Roxanne didn’t mind that at all. When she heard the apology, she smiled.“It’s fine. After all, you two are his family members. I understand that you have concerns. However, I assure you I’m capable. I may be young and, I might not look like a doctor with years of experience under my belt, but I’ve researched many complicated diseases abroad. My experience isn’t as plenty as doctors who had been in the profession for decades, but I’mconfident in my abilities.”When she finished, she pulled out a document from her bag and handed it to Jonathan. “This contains my achievements over the years. You can take a look jourself before deciding if I’m qualified to treat Old Mr. Queen.”Jonathan didn’t expect she would be that prepared.When he reprimanded Frieda earlier, he himself didn’t trust Roxanne that much either.However, after seeing how confident she appeared and spoke, it was enough to convince him that she was capable even without looking at her credentials.Still, his responsibility

  • The abandoned Wife    Roxanne's Treatment: Unwelcome Intervention

    Jonathan was taken aback when he saw that.If she’s doing that, it means she practices traditional medicine. It’s hard to believe she’s using such a simple diagnostic method on him.The Queen family had hired medical practitioners of all kinds to treat Alfred’s condition, so he had personally seen different medical techniques being applied to Alfred.That was the reason he was shocked by Roxanne’s action. It was a very simple technique to diagnose Alfred’s condition. Still, he didn’t say anything.She sat next to the bed, holding Alfred’s wrist. Her eyes were lowered as she focused entirely on the activities of his pulse.The more she observed his pulse, the more she was shocked.She thought his condition was severe enough when Colby described it.However, Alfred’s actual condition turned out to be even worse.During her diagnosis, she noticed Alfred’s breathing was so weak that any breath could be his last.After a while, Roxanne let go of the old man’s hand with a heavy expression a

  • The abandoned Wife    Lucian's Defense: Unexpected Support

    Before Roxanne could react to the situation, Lucian supported her by the waist and stabilized her body.When she raised her head, she saw his dark eyes.As their gazes met, Roxanne’s body stiffened. Then she quickly looked away before standing back up by propping her hand on the bed and supporting herself.He had grabbed her subconsciously when she fell. However, when he saw her avoiding him like the plague, the look in his eyes darkened. And so, he quickly withdrew the hand from her waist.“How dare you say you researched complicated diseases before! Is this the result of your research? I think those credentials of yours were bought!” Frieda didn’t notice what was going on between the two of them and was still angry at Roxanne.She stared at Jonathan furiously. “I think she’s a liar, Jonathan! We need to kick her out right now!”When Roxanne heard that, she quickly snapped back to her senses and mocked, “No wonder Old Mr. Queen’s condition became so severe. It seems like someone’s be

    Why is he helping me again? Before I started the treatment, he was the one who was trying to stop me from advancing. But when I was treating Old Mr. Queen, he helped out, and now he’s even defending me. His intentions are so unclear…“Frieda has admitted her mistake, but I don’t expect you to forgive her that quickly, Dr. Jarvis. However, as you said, my grandpa’s condition is worsening. Can you please treat him first. We can discuss how we can make up for my sister’s misdeed in the future.”Jonathan’s voice rang in her ears.Roxanne was still pretty upset, but when she thought about the research institute, she suppressed her displeasure.Besides, Jonathan was right. Alfred did need a doctor quickly, and he was innocent.When she thought about that, she calmed down and swept her gaze past the crowd in the room before ordering coldly, “I hope unrelated persons will leave this room before I restart my treatment.”Frieda was about to say she was family before Roxanne added, “That include

  • The abandoned Wife    Echoes of the Past

    After Estella handed the handkerchief to Roxanne, she had been staying at the latter’s side. Upon hearing that they were heading downstairs, she immediately reached her hand out and grabbed Roxanne’s hand, much like how they did it last time.Right before her hand touched Roxanne’s, a phone rang.Roxanne promptly turned around to take the phone in her bag, and her fingertips brushed past the little girl’s.It wasn’t easy for Estella to build up the courage to hold Roxanne’s hand, yet she failed at the last second. She blinked slowly as disappointment colored her expression, and she started fiddling with her fingers.Lucian saw how they almost held each other’s hand. His eyes darkened in response.Roxanne picked up the phone and saw it was a call from Madilyn.She handed her kids to Madilyn tonight because of her appointment at the Queen residence.So, when she saw the call, she thought something happened to the children and speedily answered.As her finger swiped across the screen, sh

  • The abandoned Wife    The Road to Recovery

    Since she has no intention of acknowledging her daughter, I might as well go along with her wishes.Taken aback by Lucian’s tone, Estella was briefly stunned before she pouted and wrote in her notebook: Why?Before he could reply, she quickly wrote: I like her very much, and she is kind and gentle to me. I want to be together with her!Despite Lucian’s sympathy for her when he saw how much she liked Roxanne, they had no choice but to face reality. He replied indifferently, “That’s because she has children of her own and doesn’t need another child.”Estella was confused by his reply.I know that the two boys are her sons, but she has still been very nice to me. However, Daddy seems to hate her.Estella couldn’t help but feel disappointed.When he saw her fall silent, Lucian instructed his assistant to drive.After leaving the Queen residence, he felt a tug on his sleeve, causing him to look over at Estella with knitted brows.She wrote: In that case, where is my mommy?She gave him a p

  • The abandoned Wife    Unraveling Ties: Betrayal and Consequences

    Coming down the stairs, Aubree spotted her father surrounded by the other relatives pointing their fingers at him and questioning him. “What are you guys doing?” Aubree asked after seeing the scene.In the entire Pearson family, their family was the superior one; they had never received such treatment.Hearing her voice, everyone turned to look at her.“You still have the guts to question us, huh? You know, had you not offended Lucian, our family would not have been like this right now. Old Mr. Pearson established Pearson Group all by himself. It’s not something you can toy with! You’re the one who messed up, but why do we have to bear the consequences as well?”Aubree appeared in a wretched state as her cheek was still swollen, and Samuel’s handprint did not fade.Aubree was so infuriated that her hand started trembling. “Oh, we’re talking about that now, are we? Didn’t all of you also bask in the glory when Pearson Group was at its peak?”If not for the marriage contract between Lu

    Her face contorted with anger when she saw Farwell Group’s new announcement trending. On top of that, the announcement clearly stated it was Aubree’s personality that caused the annulment of the engagement.How could Lucian do this to me?A netizen commented: I’ve met Aubree before. Sure enough, she’s not all that great. She always looks down on others as if we’re inferior to her.Another comment read: I heard Aubree even scolded the daughter of the Farwell family and called her Little Mute. Back then, I thought I’d gotten the wrong person because they hadn’t called off their engagement yet. Now that I see it, it’s definitely Aubree. No wonder Mr. Farwell wants to renounce the engagement.The more Aubree read, the darker her expression grew.Everyone, no matter their identity, was stepping out to criticize her.Hmph! What do they know? It’s all Roxanne’s doing! Who knows what she said to Lucian? It’s clearly that b*tch’s fault. What right do they have to criticize me?Aubree was seei

    Aubree’s joy did not last long, for the tables had turned that evening. Farwell Group made an announcement again, clearly stating the reason for the annulment of the engagement between the Farwell and the Pearson family. At the same time, it also contained a warning for the people who contributed to the discussions on the internet.One specific line in the announcement caused an uproar on the internet. It read: The Farwell and the Pearson family have annulled their engagement due to Aubree’s personality that is unfit for the role of Mr. Lucian Farwell’s wife.Someone wrote: The Farwell family must’ve toned down their words. They’re a big family, after all. I bet Aubree has done something disgusting behind their backs. Farwell Group is already sparing her dignity by saying it’s a personality problem.Another wrote: So, who’s the problem now? Aubree or Roxanne?Someone replied: Do you still need to ask that? Didn’t Farwell Group explain everything clearly in the announcement? It’s Aubr

    Lucian narrowed his eyes dangerously as he scanned the inside of the restaurant. When the others saw Lucian had gone looking for the man to settle the scores, they retracted their gazes guiltily.Meanwhile, the man was so scared he did not dare breathe loudly in front of Lucian.Truth was, the man had no ill intentions.He had only read the discussion on the internet and gotten curious about their relationship.In fact, when the man saw Roxanne bringing along two sons of unknown origins, he figured Lucian would have some grudge against her.To the man’s astonishment, Lucian seemed to be truly in love with Roxanne.Moreover, Roxanne did not look like a crafty person as described in the rumors.Lucian suddenly thought of something and warned the man, “I don’t care what you think, but you’d better keep your eyes to yourself and not interrupt our meal.” After that, he instructed the waiter to move them to a different private room.“What happened?”Uneasiness swirled within Roxanne’s hear

    It was her first photograph with the three children. More importantly, it was after learning that Estella was the baby whom she had thought died prematurely.“Thank you,” she said gratefully.Looking at her trembling hands, Lucian pulled her into his arms. “If you want to thank me, then reconsider my proposal. I was lying to you. I can’t wait much longer. Six years is long enough. I don’t want to keep waiting.”Roxanne lowered her head without answering. Her eyes brimmed with guilt.Having detected something in her silence, Lucian released her with a sigh and gave her a kind smile. “It’s all right. I can wait a little longer. Besides, I’m sure you wouldn’t bear to keep me waiting too long.”Roxanne looked away, not knowing what to say.Meanwhile, having tired themselves out, the children came running over to the adults.“Mommy, what were you looking at earlier?”Benny could tell that something was wrong between their parents, so he hurriedly tried to change the subject.

    Lucian watched as she gazed at the sea silently. His eyes grew dark as guilt rose in his heart. She must’ve stood here alone six years ago. What could she be thinking of? Was she blaming me?He slowly approached her, his eyes revealing the guilt and affection that had been building up inside of him for the past six years.Roxanne turned over her shoulder to realize that there was someone standing beside her. She was suddenly transported back in time, and the man’s presence filled the void that had been left in her life.“A penny for your thoughts.” Lucian suddenly spoke when he noticed the change in her expression.Roxanne snapped out of her reverie and flashed a nonchalant smile. “It’s nothing. The ocean looks somewhat different today, that’s all.”That would explain why she felt different when she had been here before.Lucian looked at her silently before suddenly reaching out to pull her into his arms.Behind him, the children were taken aback.They quickly recalled how they had i

    Roxanne and Estella waited at the beach for some time before Lucian and the boys climbed out of the car. The sight of the boys wearing rainbow-colored T-shirts surprised Roxanne to no end.Lucian preferred wearing plain-colored clothes, so she had a*sumed he’d buy monochrome clothes without any pattern for the boys.She had no idea he’d buy them such vibrant-looking clothes.I wonder when he bought these clothes. They seem to fit the boys well.“When did you buy the clothes?” Roxanne asked when they came over to join her.Recalling Benny’s earlier comment that she was in a foul mood, Lucian regarded her silently for a moment before responding, “I actually bought them on my way here. I’ve been planning to bring you here one day, and I thought it best to be prepared, and it seems I made the right choice as they came in handy.”His words merely served to fuel Roxanne’s suspicion.Never mind if Lucian showed up suddenly. I can’t believe he even prepared clothes for them.She looked down

    “Because…” Archie and Benny couldn’t just ignore their sister’s pleading look. In the end, Benny made up a reason. “Maybe it’s because Mommy wants to test Mr. Farwell further! After all, they didn’t seem happy when they separated back then.”Estella furrowed her eyebrows, perplexed. I know I don’t know about Daddy and Mommy’s matters as much as they do, but I think that’s the case based on what Daddy said when he proposed to Mommy. What happened when they initially separated? Why did Mommy abandon me?When Benny saw that his answer removed the smile on his sister’s face after he ruined his mother’s mood, he was in full panic mode. “I-It’s going to be fine! As long as Mr. Farwell performs well, Mommy will forgive him eventually and accept his proposal!”Still, Estella remained worried. “But what if Daddy feels he has lost all hope after Mommy rejects him this time? What do we do, then?”I helped Daddy chase after Mommy, so I know he’ll overthink things. He would get angry and stop pur

    “Be careful!” Roxanne’s cheeks tinged pink when she thought about the accident she had had the last time she was here.The three children waved their hands at her without looking back and dashed toward the waves.Roxanne quickened her pace and kept up with her children.“Mommy, you’re so pretty!”Estella grabbed Roxanne’s hand and snuggled up to her. Her little face lit up in awe.There had been a firework event during their last vacation to the hot spring resort. As a result, the beach was overcrowded with people, and the children didn’t get the chance to experience playing on the beach.It was quiet all around at that moment, save for the sounds of waves crashing against the beach.Despite their young age and high energy levels, the children couldn’t help but want to quiet down and relax in the face of the calming waves.Roxanne patted their heads and said, “There are not many people here, and it’s really quiet. That’s why I come here quite often.” Then she took a glance at the sur
