“Mr. Damaris surely isn’t the only one who wanted her to join them. Roxanne had Old Mr. Damaris’ approval too,” uttered Larry, who had been paying attention to their interaction, when he saw that Roxanne was stumped. At that, Jessica knitted her brows and turned to the side to look at him.She had already noticed the young man a while ago. He was outstanding, but she was not interested in him.Yet, to her surprise, the man had actually forced himself into her line of sight and even defended Roxanne.“You’re…” Jessica started, frowning.Larry introduced himself politely, “I’m Larry Morrison. I’m just an ordinary doctor, so you don’t need to remember me.”Shock flitted past Jessica’s eyes.Larry was the son of the Morrison family, and everyone within the circle would have heard about him. They knew that he was uninterested in his family’s fortune and had established a place for himself in the medical world.It was rare to spot Larry in banquets in Horington over the years.Therefore, i
The abandoned Wife Confronting Misunderstandings
“Mr. Damaris, what do you want to say to me?” Roxanne asked after taking a seat beside him. She genuinely did not want to cause a scene, and Jessica, who was beside her, was staring at her. If Jack could not come out with any topic, Roxanne was certain that Jessica’s stare would burn a hole in her.Jack knew well what kind of situation she was in, so he said casually, “I’ll be relying on both you and Mr. Morrison for this collaboration, so let me express my thanks first.”With that, he raised his gla*s and downed it.Roxanne lifted her gla*s politely and took a few sips as well.“Jessica, where did that woman come from? Why does it seem that Mr. Damaris thinks of her as someone important?”“She’s not in some kind of relationship with Mr. Damaris, right? She looks like someone who knows how to seduce men!”The friends Jessica had brought along with her all grumbled about Roxanne and whispered their speculations to Jessica when they saw the way Jack treated Roxanne.Jessica already fel
The abandoned Wife Unraveling Shadows
“I’ll send Ms. Jarvis back,” came Jack’s voice from the side. Roxanne froze, and she quickly said, “It’s fine.”Even though they were close enough to be considered friends, Roxanne did not think that they were that close enough for Jack to send her home.She rejected Larry’s offer because she felt that it would be inconvenient to do so.However, she rejected Jack because she felt that they were not close enough for him to send her back.Naturally, Jack could see the difference between Larry and him. Still, despite knowing that, he was disappointed.“There’s no need for you to be this courteous with me, Ms. Jarvis. We’ll be working together in the near future. I just wish for us to get closer so that we can work better together.” Then he tamped down the rising strange feelings in him. “Also, I’m about to go back to my place, and your house is on my way. It won’t be troublesome at all.”A crease appeared between Roxanne’s brows.Every excuse she could think of to reject Jack had been d
The abandoned Wife Lucian's Arrival
As soon as she said that, and before the people could react, Jessica lunged toward Roxanne. Jack had pushed her closer to Roxanne just now, so there was no one between the two. By the time Larry turned around upon hearing the commotion, Jessica was already a hair’s breadth away from Roxanne. “Roxanne, watch out!” Larry cried out, barely managing to pull Roxanne behind him. At the same time, Jack walked over and gripped Jessica’s arm. “Are you done?” Jessica ended up lunging toward an empty spot and was even berated by Jack. Her anger reached its peak, and she burst into tears. As she bawled, she pointed at Roxanne and continued cursing. There were people walking out of the hotel, and when they noticed the commotion, they stopped in their tracks to watch the drama. Roxanne stood behind Larry, her heart still racing. She noticed that there were more and more people gathering around them, and she knew that she had to step forward and end the scene. If things were to continu
The abandoned Wife Entangled Perceptions
The man’s domineering presence silenced the crowd. Someone in the crowd finally came back to their senses when Lucian walked past them and whispered, “It’s Mr. Farwell!” Upon hearing those words, the crowd erupted into an uproar. They did not even care about their reputation anymore as they stared at Lucian’s back. Although they were all from prestigious families in Horington, they were ants in comparison to Lucian. Moreover, they could barely have the chance to see Lucian in person. Therefore, now that they had the chance to do that, they couldn’t help staring at him to their hearts’ content. Lucian’s face was an eye candy for all. Roxanne could only stay rooted to her spot in the middle of the crowd as she watched the man amble toward her. The look on her face had frozen, and she did not know what kind of reaction she should have at that moment. It seems that I have had ill luck recently. Not only is a drunkard seeking trouble with me at work, but Lucian’s here at such horrendo
The abandoned Wife Bound by Shadows
Everyone heard Jessica clearly. Of course, they did not know much about the medical field. Hence, they merely nodded at Jessica’s remarks.After all, they had the perception that accomplished doctors would typically be in their fifties. People would not normally a*sociate a young and beautiful woman like Roxanne with being an accomplished doctor in the medical field.Jessica’s hand edged closer and closer to Roxanne’s face. The latter’s face turned cold. She was ready to swat off Jessica’s hand at any moment right then.However, before Roxanne could do so, a large hand struck first and immobilized Jessica’s hand.The man clutching her hand had evidently exerted a considerable amount of force, so much so that Jessica lost her balance and staggered a few steps back and missed Roxanne’s face.“You could consult Dr. Lambert if you have any doubts about her medical skills, or you could also ask Old Mr. Queen. I believe he will have an answer for you.” Lucian threw a scornful look at the t
The abandoned Wife Strategic Compromises
Roxanne could feel the air growing still right then. Needless to say, it was because of Lucian.Roxanne clenched her fist and told herself repeatedly not to turn around and watch. She wanted to pretend that Lucian was not there at all.His question had made her squirm uneasily. At the thought of his out-of-place confession, Roxanne was worried that he might make more unreasonable demands.Meanwhile, Jack frowned when he saw that the driver was running late.“Let me make a call,” Jack said as he took out his phone.The next moment, Lucian’s voice rang out. “Since Mr. Damaris’ driver is going to take some time, I could send you home if you don’t mind, Ms. Jarvis.”Roxanne tensed up once again and turned around immediately to reject his offer. “That won’t be necessary. I’ve already made the arrangement with Mr. Damaris. Feel free to leave first if you’re in a rush, Mr. Farwell!”Then Roxanne scurried to Jack’s side.She did not wish to be alone with Lucian, afraid that he might say anyt
The abandoned Wife Tangled Emotions
Jack’s gaze gradually darkened as he stared at their leaving figures from behind. Their current relationship is genuinely baffling me. I can see that Lucian inclines to win Roxanne back, but I cannot figure out her stance. Complicated emotions surged within Jack when he was reminded of Roxanne’s appearance as she stood under the lights earlier. She’s clueless about my feelings.Along the way, Lucian wrapped his hand around Roxanne’s wrist tightly.He exerted a great force on her wrist and caused her to be in pain.“Let go of me!”She tried to break free of his grip, but her futile attempt merely prompted him to grab her more closely and firmly.Lucian decided never to let go of her hand anymore because when he had done so earlier, Roxanne almost approached another man.She had no choice but to give up after a few times of struggling in vain and having her complaints disregarded by Lucian the whole time.As a result, she allowed him to drag her along to the roadside.The driver had al
