The abandoned Wife Whispers of the Past: The Unspoken Ties
Jonathan, too, couldn’t help but furrow his brows.Since dinner started, he could already feel something was wrong between Lucian and the two women, but unfortunately, he couldn’t put his finger on it.“Aubree?” Frieda mumbled, baffled at how stunned her friend was.Thankfully, Aubree was brought back to her senses and quickly forced out a smile. “Well, I still have work to do, so I shan’t disturb you guys any longer.”Even though Jonathan and Frieda could tell that something was amiss with Aubree, they refrained from asking any more questions. After exchanging a few more words, they eventually saw her off.Once they were back in the mansion, Jonathan immediately turned to his sister. “Hey, how did you know that Dr. Jarvis has kids?”Frieda pursed her lips. “I saw them when I was out for lunch with Aubree. Oh, I also know that she’s Lucian’s ex-wife! I can’t believe she had the gall to come back!”Upon hearing that, Jonathan was momentarily shocked before realization dawned on him.No
The abandoned Wife Echoes of the Past: A Return to Familiar Ground
Roxanne overheard Catalina’s words through the phone and know Estella wasn’t feeling well. Shepromptly got worried.After hearing what Lucian had to say, she made a U-turn and sped toward the Farwell residence.Twenty minutes later, her car rolled to a stop outside the Farwell residence.Recalling Estella’s condition, Roxanne shot the man a dubious look. “Take good care of Essie. If you need my help, just let me know anytime.”Lucian met her gaze mockingly. “If you’re that worried about her, why don’t you take a look at her? Besides, Essie adores you. If she sees you when she’s sick, I believe she’ll feel better.”With that said, he opened the door and got out before heading in the direction of the mansion.It appeared he was leaving it up to her whether she wanted to visit Estella.The sight of his back caused Roxanne to frown slightly.Essie’s sick. Shouldn’t he get her mother to visit her? No matter how busy Aubree is, she won’t ignore her sick daughter, right?As the thought of t

Roxanne explained, “We bumped into each other at my patient’s house. I heard that Essie was sick and decided to come to pay her a visit.”Hearing that, Catalina felt a stab in her heart. “That’s good. Ms. Estella will surely get better quickly if you keep her company,” she muttered under her breath.Roxanne assumed Catalina was referring to the fact that she was a doctor and could treat Estella’s condition by taking care of her. Chuckling, she inclined her head and promised, “Don’t worry. I’ll help out if Essie needs me.”Catalina was puzzled after hearing her reply.Why is Ms. Jarvis acting all formal? Ms. Estella is her daughter. Isn’t it natural for her to take care of her sick daughter? Besides, Ms. Estella would feel better if her mother were to stay by her side. Back then, it was Ms. Jarvis who treated my headaches. I know she’s a great doctor, so she is definitely capable of treating Ms. Estella’s fever.A wave of regret hit Catalina when she recalled the times Roxanne was stil

Beside her, Lucian heard the boys’ voices faintly and placed his work aside. He looked at her and was about to ask whether she had to head home to take care of them, but the sight of her tenderexpression made him change his mind.“Who normally takes care of the boys when you’re busy? Do they stay at home? Or do you hire someone to take care of them?” he asked.Roxanne told him, “My friend helps out. Now, Lysa will take care of them.”Lucian asked, “Was it the same when you were working overseas?”Despite not knowing why he posed that question, Roxanne answered instinctively, “I’d hire someone to take care of them or bring them to my workplace. My colleagues loved them.”Right after those words left her mouth, the living room went silent again.Roxanne lowered her gaze to check on the little girl’s condition.“They’re older now and easier to take care of. It must have been hard when they were younger,” Lucian said suddenly. His gaze fell on her as he pretended to ask nonchalantly, “Ho

Lucian’s brows snapped together. He hesitated briefly before accepting the blanket from Catalina. Bending his body, he draped the blanket over them carefully and tucked Roxanne in.After that, he was about to get up when his gaze landed on Roxanne’s sleeping face.Lucian froze, and he couldn’t keep his gaze off her.This was the first time he had ever seen her up close.It was obvious that she wasn’t sleeping well. Her lashes would flutter occasionally as though she would wake up any minute.Lucian wondered when she would wake up.Suddenly, she frowned in her sleep as her head slipped off the couch.Before she could fall off the couch, Lucian reached out instinctively to protect her head. She fell into his embrace instead.Suddenly, he registered the sensation of her soft cheek brushing against his palm.Lucian’s gaze turned dark. Afraid of waking her up, he didn’t move an inch.Roxanne was in his embrace, and Estella was in Roxanne’s embrace.Seeing that, a thought occurred to Catali
The abandoned Wife Whispers of Ties Unseen
After the braid was done, Roxanne led Estella out.She turned and spotted the man standing at the door.Immediately, the warmth in Lucian’s gaze disappeared and was replaced by an indifferent look. He told her courteously, “Breakfast’s ready. Let’s go downstairs.”With that, he turned around and left without waiting for them.Roxanne was rooted to the spot.His expression was different just now. It appeared for a fleeting moment only, though. Was I seeing things?Snapping out of her reverie, Roxanne led Estella down the stairs.Estella took the seat next to Lucian at the dining table.Roxanne was about to take the seat across from them when Estella tugged at her sleeves, forcing her to stop in her tracks.“Ms. Jarvis, why don’t you sit beside Ms. Estella?” Sensing Estella’s intention, Catalina chuckled and pulled out the chair beside the little girl.Estella nodded in agreement and gazed at Roxanne expectantly.At once, Roxanne glanced at the man sitting on the other side of the littl
The abandoned Wife The Ties That Bind
Sonya felt bad for her. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll head back home to deal with the matter right away.”On the way back from the café, Sonya grew more worried the more she thought about it. Hence, when Elias got off work, she called him to go to the manor together.Lucian went to pick up Estella after work. As soon as the two entered the door, they noticed the elderly Farwells sitting on the couch with a solemn expression. It was apparent that they had something to say.“Dad, Mom, why didn’t you tell me you were coming over? Is there a problem?” Lucian queried in puzzlement.Those words had barely left his mouth when Sonya nodded solemnly. “There’s something we wish to talk to you about.”Upon seeing the grave expression on his mother’s face, Lucian knitted his brows. He turned his head and handed Estella to Catalina to allow her to take the little girl upstairs first.Catalina obliged. Estella also greeted her grandparents obediently before following her caretaker upstairs.Lucian sat dow
The abandoned Wife Shattered Trust
Lucian did not say anything in the end, thinking that he would just head over and pick up the little girl in two days.Estella was very well-behaved with her grandparents and fell asleep obediently after dinner.Meanwhile, Sonya called Aubree, telling her to come over in the morning to send Estella to kindergarten, as she always felt that the little girl did not like Aubree because they spent too little time together.The following morning, Aubree arrived early, and after greeting the elders, she reached out to take Estella’s hand.Estella had just eaten breakfast, and her face fell when she saw Aubree coming over. Upon seeing the latter’s outstretched hand, she shrank back further, expressing great resistance.“Be good, Essie. Ms. Pearson is sending you to kindergarten. If you don’t leave now, you’ll be late,” Sonya patiently persuaded for a long time.Hearing this, Estella hesitated for a while. However, at the thought that she would be able to see the two little boys when she arriv
