The abandoned Wife Raw Wounds and Unexpected Care
His stare shifted to the direction Jack left and continued in a mocking tone, “Or is it because Mr. Damaris is special? So much so that you want to meet him despite your injury?”Roxanne could sense the hostility in his voice and felt even odder. “Mr. Damaris and I are merely business partners. We met today because we wanted to discuss our collaboration. Please do not make wild guesses, Mr. Farwell!”Lucian’s lips twitched. “It’d better be.”Seeing the mockery on his face caused her to feel a slight pain in her heart. Her expression darkened as she said, “Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Mr. Farwell. However, I have all sorts of medicine here. So, if there’s nothing else, please leave.”Roxanne turned around and staggered back into the mansion without giving Lucian another chance to speak.He grabbed her arm after she took two steps away from him.His cold voice rang next to her ear. “I’ll send you back in.”“No need. It’s only a few steps. I can handle it just fine,” she rejected w

On the other side, Aubree was finally able to leave the hospital after staying there for nearly a month. Lucian only kept her company in the hospital for a few days under his mother’s request. After that, he never showed up again.She contacted him a few times, asking him to visit her. However, he would always use his work as an excuse to reject her.Additionally, two days ago, some of her friends, who had children studying in the same kindergarten, visited her. They told her that Lucian and Roxanne were acting in the Sleeping Beauty play. Not only that, they showed her photos of the play.Inside the photos, Lucian was seen wearing a princely outfit as he stared longingly at Roxanne, who was lying on a wooden bed.Aubree’s friends continued to swipe the screen, showing her photos upon photos of Roxanne and Lucian.Eventually, he was seen sitting by the side of the bed, leaning his body toward Roxanne in order to kiss her.When Aubree saw the kiss, she shoved the phone away, unwilling

He pulled out his phone to check who it was with furrowed eyebrows. The moment he saw the name on the screen, he subconsciously looked at the woman in front of him and met her eyes.Roxanne’s eyebrows tightened a little as she swept her gaze past the phone’s screen and saw the name.It was as though the word “Aubree” was reminding her that she was getting too close to Lucian.When she realized that, she pinched her palm, pretended to be calm, and pulled herself backward. She wanted to put as much distance as possible between herself and him. Her eyes lowered as she pretended that she didn’t exist.In the next second, the vibrating sound stopped.Her eyebrows remained furrowed as she subconsciously glanced at the phone.It was then she saw Lucian had hung up the call and stuffed it back into his pocket.He stared into Roxanne’s eyes, which caused her to be stunned for a second.“I’ve applied medicine to your wound and help bandaged your injury. Don’t you think I deserve some thanks for

It was hard to tell how long Roxanne and Lucian stayed in the living room before her phone rang. It was from Lysa.Roxanne answered the call.“Have you returned, Ms. Jarvis? If not, we can go and pick you up.” Lysa’s voice entered her ears the moment the call connected.Roxanne replied plainly, “I’m already back home. You should bring the children straight back here.”It was then Lysa sounded rather troubled. “Also, Mr. Farwell’s a*sistant is saying that he wants to go home with us…”When she went to pick up Archie and Benny, Estella was still there.The boys insisted they would only leave after she left, so Lysa had no choice but to wait with them.At the end, when Cayden arrived, he said he wanted to come home with Lysa.She couldn’t make the decision, so she called Roxanne.Roxanne glanced at Lucian subconsciously when she heard that.He was acting as though he didn’t hear anything. His eyes remained fixed on his phone without any expression.Seeing that, she hesitated for a few s

She appeared troubled because she had just seen Aubree calling Lucian. If I let Lucian and Essie stay here for a meal, it’ll look like I’m doing it on purpose, especially after what he said…Her intention was to reject her boys’ request, but Estella grabbed her sleeve.It caused her heart to waver as her gaze shifted to the girl.Estella stared at her pitifully. The red in her eyes hadn’t completely subsided yet, which made her look aggrieved.As Roxanne stared into the girl’s eyes, she hesitated, and in the end, she couldn’t reject her.Seeing how she wasn’t getting an answer, Estella turned to her father with red cheeks for help. “Daddy…”Lucian glanced at Roxanne and lowered his eyes to look at his daughter. “Ms. Jarvis has already agreed. You should thank her.”Doubt was still present in Estella’s heart, so she wanted to hear the confirmation right out of Roxanne’s mouth.However, Roxanne couldn’t bring herself to say it. She simply patted the child’s head in silent agreement. The

However, it was obvious Roxanne didn’t want them to worry. Thus, the children didn’t ask any further questions and silently put some food on her plate.She thanked them with a smile.“Ms. Jarvis.” Estella suddenly spoke.Roxanne turned to the girl, confused.“Can you rest properly and get better soon?” The look in the girl’s stare was serious.When she heard Roxanne’s wound open because of all the walking, she wanted Roxanne to rest and get better soon.Upon hearing that, Roxanne was stunned for a few seconds. Then she nodded at the child, unsure if she should laugh or cry. “I know. Don’t worry, Essie. I’ll listen to your advice.”Estella nodded seriously like a small adult.Following that, the boys’ attention shifted to Lucian as they spoke. “Thank you for applying Mommy’s medicine for her, Mr. Farewell.”They proceeded to put food on Lucian’s plate.He didn’t expect they would thank him. With his eyebrow raised, he smiled at them indifferently. “You two need to take good care of you

Lucian had arrived at the Farwell residence with Estella. Since it was getting late, he sent her to her bed to sleep.“Daddy,” she said just as he stood and was about to leave.Lucian halted his movements, turned around, and sat next to Estella’s bed again. “What’s wrong?”It was obvious she was already sleepy, but she still suppressed her drowsiness and looked at her father. “Does Ms. Jarvis like us?”After all, when she went to visit Roxanne with her father, not only did Roxanne not chase them away, but she also didn’t intentionally give him the cold shoulders.Lucian’s eyes darkened when he heard that question. He began to recall how distant Roxanne treated him before the children arrived.“When will we meet Ms. Jarvis again?” Excitement filled Estella’s voice.He remained silent for a second before patting his daughter’s head. “I’ve been busy with my work lately. Once I am freer, I’ll take you to meet her.”It was pretty clear Roxanne was still avoiding him, but the misunderstand

Jonathan’s heart skipped a beat as he wondered what had gone wrong between them. How did Lucian end up broken like this?After a moment, Lucian’s voice rang out as cold as ice. “It would have been better if there was no vacation!”Lucian was the one who had planned the vacation; he had even swapped the winner of the first prize at the last minute.In retrospect, the effort should not have been spent.If the turning point of their relationship had remained as it was at the end of the stage play, perhaps Roxanne would not be rejecting him as she was currently doing so.Even until now, he had not figured out what went wrong during their vacation.Jonathan listened in bewilderment. “What do you mean? Weren’t you happy during the vacation? Didn’t you listen to my advice to let her have her way?”By right, to warm up the relationship, the vacation was the opportunity to patch things up, and nothing could go wrong.As Lucian frowned and recalled the experiences during the vacation, he felt e

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.

The abandoned Wife Unexpected Visitor
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
The abandoned Wife Family Matters
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 abandoned Wife The Midnight Revelation
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. It looks like I won’t be able to sleep at all tonight, either!Jonathan lay back down in bed, scrolling
The abandoned Wife The Strategic Pursuit
It was already past nine at night when Roxanne reached home. As she got out of the car, she felt anxious and guilty for leaving the children alone at home.Hence, she hurried into the mansion, but as soon as she entered, she was greeted with the lively sounds of the children playing with each other and running around.Roxanne stopped in her tracks and looked inside the living room, surprised.Initially, she thought Madilyn had come over, but Lucian was sitting on the couch instead.As if sensing her presence, the man turned around to look.When their gazes met, Roxanne’s shock intensified. “What are you doing here?”Didn’t we agree on meeting some other day?Upon noticing her return, the children stopped playing and gathered around her, yearning for affection.“Mommy, you came home so late! Daddy’s been waiting for a long time!”Roxanne ruffled the children’s hair, but her gaze was still locked on Lucian.Lucian sat on the couch, crossing his legs. The button on his collar was undone

Lucian had mentioned visiting Roxanne in the past few days, but she rejected him by saying she had work to do. When he heard Estella mention that Roxanne was rarely home, he finally realized how hard she had been working recently.“Are you free tomorrow at noon? Let’s have lunch together,” Lucian suggested.He was determined to let Roxanne get some rest.Roxanne fell silent for a few moments when she heard the time he mentioned before replying apologetically, “Sorry, I’m not free.”Lucian frowned. “Why? Is there work that you have to complete?”Roxanne scratched her nose sheepishly. “I’ve promised to meet up with Mr. Damaris for lunch tomorrow to discuss a project.”Jack Damaris?Lucian’s expression instantly darkened.We’ve hardly been in contact these few days, and yet she’s been contacting him?What the elderlies from the nursing home said echoed in Lucian’s mind once again.After all, he and Roxanne did not work in the same industry. Plus, the woman was a workaholic, causing thei

I can’t believe the Queen family is the culprit! I… I a*sume that with our friendship of years, even if they refuse to help us, at the very least, they won’t hit us when we’re down. Yet, they are the reason we ended up in such a state! If that’s the case, why did Frieda come to our house yesterday? Did she come to shed crocodile tears? Gina glared at her daughter resentfully. “You knew about it, didn’t you?”Aubree’s involvement in the company’s affairs meant that she must have known who the culprit was, yet she still permitted Frieda to visit her, much to Gina’s bafflement.If I knew the Queen family was behind this, I wouldn’t have allowed Frieda to enter our house!Aubree’s eyes had also turned red. “So what if I did know?

At noon the next day, Jonathan brought Frieda shopping. They bought a bunch of gifts before driving to the restaurant where they were supposed to meet Roxanne. The restaurant was near the research institute. Due to the closeness of both locations, Roxanne thought she could head back to do some more work if their meeting ended early.Something in the research institute held her up, so Jonathan and Frieda were already waiting in the private room by the time she arrived.“I’m sorry, Dr. Jarvis. Did I interrupt your work?”Despite addressing Roxanne by her name in front of Lucian, Jonathan was mindful of his behavior and addressed her politely when she was present.Roxanne offered him a polite smile. Her gaze then landed on Frieda, and confusion crossed her eyes.If I’m not mistaken, Frieda never liked me. So why is she here today?Considering how busy she was handling various projects at the research institute, Roxanne did not want to be involved in any trouble.Jonathan rose to his fee
