Archie and Benny dragged Madilyn to the door the moment they heard some noises at the gate.

They opened the door as soon as the car pulled over at the entrance. The three of them were completely baffled to see the car that stopped at the porch.

This car looks somewhat familiar.

Roxanne could see the curious gazes of the trio in the car. Instantly, she felt a headache coming her way.

While she was still debating how to explain herself, the man next to her opened the car door.

Upon recollecting herself, she wanted to open the door. Only then that she realized that it was already open.

“You’re home.” Lucian reminded her of her predicament with an outstretched arm.

Roxanne clenched her jaw and wanted to hop out of the car from another side.

Lucian’s voice sounded again. “I suppose you wouldn’t want your two children to see you fall down, right?”

Roxanne’s body stiffened at once.

Though she had not regained much of her strength, she did not want Archie and Benny to see her being so close t

  • The abandoned Wife    Unexpected Reunion

    Although Roxanne had repeated multiple times that she felt fine, Madilyn could not feel at ease, and hence, she examined her body thoroughly.In the end, she concluded that Roxanne had mild post-traumatic stress. With sufficient rest, she would surely recover.Roxanne did not want the kids to speculate, so she went downstairs after getting a short rest.Right then, Lysa was serving dinner. She was about to head upstairs and check if Roxanne wanted to join them, only to realize that Roxanne was already up.“How are you feeling? Can you eat these? Otherwise, I can make you some soup.” Lysa was very concerned.Roxanne’s face was no longer as pale as before. She shook her head and replied, “Don’t trouble yourself. I don’t have much appetite, anyway. I can eat anything that’s already been prepared.”With that, she took her seat at the dining table.Archie and Benny, who were in the living room, dashed over to surround Roxanne the moment they heard her voice.As their gazes met, Roxanne ruf

  • The abandoned Wife    The Unexpected Visit: A Tense Encounter

    Roxanne felt a lot better when she woke up the next morning. Recalling that she was to send the children to the kindergarten, she got up and washed up before opening the door to head downstairs.Just as she did, she was greeted by the sight of the two boys at the door.Looking forward to their mother sending them to kindergarten, the excited Archie and Benny had woken up early to wait at Roxanne’s door.Their initial plan was to knock and wake her up, but they decided against it, as she wasn’t feeling well. Not wanting to disturb her rest, they resigned themselves to waiting outside.When Roxanne came out of her room, the boys’ eyes lit up. “Mommy!”Roxanne stroked their heads. “Come along now. Let’s have breakfast before I send you to the kindergarten.”Both of them nodded as they held Roxanne’s hand, one on each side of her. Every now and then, they would look up at her to ascertain if she had fully recovered.When they arrived downstairs, Lysa had already prepared breakfast. Madily

    After finishing breakfast with mixed feelings, Roxanne led Estella out of the dining room.She had barely stepped out when she noticed the prevailing tension in the living room.The brothers were kneeling on the couch with stern looks on their faces, keeping a close eye on Lucian who was standing at the side as if he had gravely offended them.When she saw the boys’ expressions, Roxanne couldn’t help frowning.She had a*sumed that they resented Lucian because of her.However, she recalled that they had been fine with him the very first time all of them met.As of then, her only goal was to stay away from Lucian, but the brothers seemed to be holding a grudge against him.No matter how hard she tried, Roxanne couldn’t figure out the reason why.When the brothers saw Roxanne leading Estella out, they shifted their gazes away from Lucian and welcomed the two with vibrant smiles. “Mommy!”Setting her thoughts aside, Roxanne reciprocated with a grin of her own.Archie and Benny gave Estell

    “No wonder you asked me previously about when Dr. Jarvis was traveling to Summerbank. And yet, I was thinking that you were pestering me about my job. Little did I expect that it was for selfish reasons!” Jonathan teased Lucian when he finally connected the dots.Lucian responded with a silent but grim look on his face.I did do it for my own selfish reasons, but Roxanne wasn’t grateful at all.Raising his brows, Jonathan pressed on, “In that case, you must have attended the banquet that night. So, how did it go? Did you make any progress with her?”As soon as he said those words, he saw the gloomy look on Lucian’s face.Looks like it’s obvious that there isn’t any improvement at all.Jonathan was still confounded by the situation.Despite all that Lucian has done to pursue her, why is she still unmoved? This is the first time I have seen Lucian put so much effort into courting a lady. Anyone else in Roxanne’s position would have thrown herself unreservedly into his arms. For Dr. Jarv

    Seeing that Jonathan was full of confidence, Lucian asked, “What is it? Stop keeping me in suspense.”Jonathan broke into a casual smile. “To further develop traditional medicine, our country provides the best environment to do so. I’m sure that was Dr. Jarvis’ objective when she chose to return. It’s just…”Here, Jonathan threw Lucian a glance. There was no need for him to finish his sentence.Roxanne had come back to Chanaea so that she could expand the field of traditional medicine. Unfortunately, she didn’t expect to run into the Farwell family and be forced to leave.Meeting Jonathan’s gaze, the frustrated Lucian grimaced.“But if the proposition is attractive enough, I’m sure Dr. Jarvis will be willing to stay for the sake of traditional medicine research,” Jonathan said. “I’m sure you have heard about the prestigious families who live in seclusion within Chanaea. Among them, the Damaris family used to cause waves within the field of ancient medicine. Unfortunately, they gradual

  • The abandoned Wife    Unspoken Worries

    That night, Roxanne went personally to the Queen residence to show her gratitude.During dinnertime, Alfred conveniently brought up the news regarding the Damaris family. “Dr. Jarvis, the Damaris family is planning to have a medical consultation. Would you be interested in being a part of it? If you’re interested, I can help introduce you to them.”The shock was written all over Roxanne’s face.Even though she had mostly been living overseas, the Damaris family was no stranger to her.In the world of traditional medicine, the Damaris family was nothing short of legendary. The younger ones in the industry would always hear about the legacy of the Damaris family, yet they rarely stood a chance to meet them in person.Because Roxanne had been overseas for so long, it was even harder for her to have any encounter with the Damaris family. Even so, she had longed to meet and interact with them.After all, the Damaris family was extremely skilled in traditional medicine. The family also owne

    Once Archie and Benny were comforted, Roxanne breathed out a sigh of relief.After they finished eating, Roxanne sent Archie and Benny into their room before she entered the study.According to Alfred, the medical consultation held by the Damaris family was in two days. She needed to understand more about the consultation in advance.Before that, she had only heard of the medical consultations by the Damaris family, but she had never really looked into it, and neither had she imagined herself to be lucky enough to have the chance to participate in it.Since the unexpected opportunity had landed in her hands, she was determined to perform well.Without many leads for her to find out more about the process of the medical consultation, Roxanne could only use the most unreliable method—searching online—and hope for the best. If she were lucky, she would be able to get a glimmer of information.Unfortunately, the Damaris family was far too mysterious for the common men. Despite the fact th

    The next morning, Roxanne was still fast asleep when a knock sounded on her door.“Mommy!” Benny’s childish voice called out from outside her bedroom. “Mommy, wake up!”The noise jolted Roxanne awake, and she quickly sat up. Thinking that the children were calling her because something had happened, she hurried over to open the door without even brushing up.When she opened the door, Archie and Benny greeted her with an innocent look. Looking up at Roxanne with puppy eyes, they whined, “Mommy, will you send us to the kindergarten today?”Their eyes were filled with anticipation.By then, Roxanne was fully awake.Upon hearing the boys’ question, Roxanne was reminded of the disappointed looks on their faces the night before.After a few seconds of hesitation, Roxanne finally agreed, “You boys go ahead and have breakfast first. I’ll be down in a few. After breakfast, I’ll send you two to the kindergarten.”Archie’s and Benny’s eyes lit up. Nodding obediently, they immediately trotted dow

    Meanwhile, Roxanne was still lost in a daze. “Madilyn, what…”Cocking a brow, Madilyn stepped aside to usher them in. “Come onboard. I’m here to pick you up.”Roxanne was blown away by the words.Is she asking us to get in the helicopter and leave just like that? We might be able to escape this time, but what about when the reporters come for us again?When she saw Roxanne remaining motionless, the puzzled Madilyn urged her, “Hurry up! What are you still hesitating for? Whatever concerns you have, we’ll discuss it on board.”She extended her hand while speaking.With the helicopter hovering right before her eyes, Roxanne realized that Madilyn’s effort would go to waste if she didn’t get on.Holding that thought, Roxanne took the latter’s hand. Given how close the helicopter was, all she needed to do was take a step forward to board it.After carrying Estella over, Roxanne turned around to do the same with the boys. Little did she expect them to be raring to go.Reciprocating their ent

    It wasn’t until Lucian heard Madilyn’s words that he realized her point and stopped in his tracks.“This whole incident might just blow over if you don’t show up, but it will definitely worsen if you make an appearance. If that happens, they might even swarm Farwell Group along with Roxanne’s house!” Madilyn reminded him.She knew the mentality of those journalists all too well.Lucian clenched his fists so tightly that his veins were bulging from underneath his skin. “What should I do, then?” he asked while trying to suppress his anger.I wouldn’t have acted so impulsively if I knew this would happen!Madilyn rolled her eyes at him in response. Why is he asking us for a solution when he’s the one who caused all this?“Mr. Farwell, how about we send someone over to get Mrs. Farwell out of there?” Cayden suggested cautiously.“How are you going to do that? There are so many journalists around!” Madilyn snapped at him.Cayden fell silent and flashed her an awkward look in response.“If

    News about the Farwell family’s two additional young heirs, who were given birth by Lucian’s ex-wife, caused an uproar in Horington.Of course, the journalists took action almost immediately. No one knew how they got the information, but they found and swarmed around Roxanne’s research institute and mansion.Roxanne was still asleep when she received a call from Linda telling her not to leave the house that day.When Roxanne received that call, she was still in a daze.However, the moment she got out of bed and saw the crowd outside, she panicked.The crowd was clearly there because of Farwell Group’s statement yesterday.Noticing her room’s curtains were pulled open, the crowd downstairs hurriedly focused their cameras in the direction of her room window and began snapping pictures.Shocked, Roxanne hastily drew her curtains.At the same time, her phone rang again.She grabbed it to take a glance, only to see it was from an unknown number.Suspicious, she answered it.

    “It was Lucian who let Essie stay with me. So, if you want to take her away, you’ll have to get his consent first,” Roxanne emphasized without a change in her expression.The little girl in her embrace immediately chimed in, “I’ll do what Daddy says!”As Sonya watched the mother and daughter duo presenting a united front, she felt her temples throb.After all, her son had already made such a statement. The answer she would get could not be more obvious if she made the call.Roxanne’s saying that because she has no plans to let me take my granddaughter away! Most importantly, my son is siding with her. Ugh! I can’t do anything about it.After waiting for some time and seeing that Sonya didn’t take any action, Roxanne said, “If you don’t want to make the call, then please leave now. It’s getting late, and the children are hungry. I don’t have the energy to prepare another person’s portion.”With that, Roxanne put Estella down and gestured for the boys to take Estella upstairs.Once the

    Originally, Sonya did not intend to cause trouble for Roxanne at such an hour.Yet she did not expect her son to release such a shocking announcement on the internet, and she only found out while she was having dinner.Sonya was so incensed that she didn’t even finish dinner. After throwing her cutleries in a rage, she set off and drove to Roxanne’s house.She was determined to make Lucian and Estella cut ties with Roxanne as soon as possible.Now that Sonya saw how dependent Estella was on Roxanne, her anger was further fueled.“Roxanne Jarvis, give me back my granddaughter,” she uttered frostily as if Roxanne had snatched Estella away from her.Sensing Estella’s nervousness, Roxanne gripped the former’s hand to soothe her anxiety. Next, Roxanne lifted her head to face the woman opposite her.If this had happened in the past, Roxanne might not know how to respond to a demand like this.However, things were different now. She was Estella’s mother, so she had the right to keep Estella

    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

    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.
