Jonathan brought the children to the restaurant and ordered a bunch of food for them. However, they didn’t appear to have any appetite.“I thought you all were hungry?” Their reaction confounded Jonathan.In response, Estella slowly took a bite of a dessert. I’m not hungry. I just don’t want to stay with that bad lady. Why is she still hanging around the hospital after Daddy asked her to leave?Archie and Benny were also pretty distracted.They only left with Jonathan because they wanted to give their parents some private time.Nonetheless, ever since they left the hospital, they started to regret their decision because they recalled their parents always argued whenever they spent time together.They were afraid the same scenario would occur again.“You three aren’t actually hungry, am I right?” Jonathan grinned when he saw through them.In response, the children lowered their heads guiltily with tightened fists.A tinge of confusion flashed past his eyes when he saw the children act

Roxanne was someone who knew how and when to keep a distance from others. Even if she were to find out what happened that night, she would only a*sume that Lucian was being helpful by stopping Jack.Lucian was certain about that.Jack paled.“I just want to take a look at her. Also, there’s something I want to ask her about,” Jack said, wanting to find out more about the situation this time.However, seemingly having read his mind, Lucian uttered, “The three of us are the only ones here. There’s no need for you to put up a show, Mr. Damaris.”Jack frowned in confusion. “What are you talking about?”“I’ve already gotten my men to look into it. There were only three people who were involved in this experiment at the research institute.” Lucian’s tone was cold as he spoke. “The other person has been working with Roxanne for many years. I doubt he has the need to do something stupid like this. Therefore, you’re the only suspect left.”Jack was taken aback.He never thought that someone w

It was Lucian’s second time hearing Estella addressing Roxanne in that way in the period of merely one night. When Lucian saw the girl’s timid look, he frowned but could not bring himself to say anything to her.Once Estella realized her father was not asking her to change the way she called Roxanne, her eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Archie and Benny with delight on her face.If Roxanne had not been asleep, the children would have cheered out loud.Confusion danced across Lucian’s eyes at the sight of their happiness, but he did not ask them any questions. The only thing he said was, “It’s getting late, so hurry back to sleep.”After making sure that Roxanne was fine and receiving the unexpected surprise, the children quickly agreed to that and followed Lucian out of the ward.After sending the children back to the ward next door, Lucian found his heart skipping a beat as he looked at the way they were staring at him.I think I know why they’re happy now.“Daddy.”Estella wa

The following morning, Roxanne had already woken up by the time Lucian did. Her brows remained furrowed while she removed the needles for herself. Lucian glanced at his empty palm, then shifted his gaze to look at the woman before him. In a hoarse voice, he asked, “When did you wake up? Why didn’t you wake me up?”Roxanne was too focused on the task and only realized the man was awake after hearing his voice. She hesitated for a moment, then continued with what she had been doing.“You look like you were sound asleep. Besides, I am feeling better now, so I didn’t wake you up.”She did not spare the man a glance as she spoke.It was worth noting that Roxanne felt as if it was like a dream when she woke up to the sight of Lucian taking a short rest while holding her hand tightly earlier.But soon after, the memories of what happened last night while she was half-asleep came to her mind.She knew very well it was not a dream. Lucian had indeed taken care of her for the whole night.For

Roxanne patted Archie’s and Benny’s heads soothingly. “Mommy, how are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort?”Archie and Benny stared at her with concern.Roxanne could see her pale expression reflected in her children’s eyes, so it was completely understandable that they were really worried.Roxanne stated apologetically, “I’m all right now. I must have scared you guys yesterday. I’m sorry for that.”Benny reminded her in his childish voice, “You have already apologized to us yesterday! Also, we don’t need you to apologize because we only want you to be healthy and well!”Roxanne felt touched by their words, and a smile spread across her face.“Essie is also worried about Mommy. She was so scared she burst into tears when she dreamt that you fell unconscious.”When Benny noticed Estella hiding behind the other children, he took a step back so Roxanne could see her.Estella’s head was lowered as she sneaked a peek at Roxanne.She remembered Roxanne flatly refusing to let her call t

After a long pause, Lucian tamped down the emotions in his eyes and said calmly, “I’ve asked the specialists to check on you. They’ll be here soon.” No sooner had he said that, several specialists came rushing over.They were horrified when they saw Roxanne sitting up in the hospital bed. “Ms. Jarvis, please lie down quickly. There’s still residual toxins in your body that has yet to be flushed out. We want to perform a check-up on you, then prescribe some targeted medication.”She was very clear-headed when it came to her condition, and she replied, “There’s no need for that. It has been cleared.”The others frowned, their expressions reflecting their disbelief. “How is that possible?”We all saw for ourselves how serious her condition was yesterday. How could she have gotten better after just one night’s sleep?Roxanne merely smiled and did not say anything.Utterly incredulous, a few of them stepped forward to check on her.After they did so, everyone could not help but feel dumbf

Roxanne was rendered speechless at that. After all, it was indeed true that the three of them had been in charge of the project since the beginning.Naturally, I wouldn’t shoot myself in the foot, so that leaves only Jack and Colby. That being said, I don’t want to doubt any of them since one of them is the project leader while the other is my longtime partner.Seeing how adamant she was, Lucian felt his anger rise. “If I remember correctly, Jack had something to do with the fire incident at the research institute previously as well.”Hearing that, Roxanne gave him a confused look. Why would he say something like that?She then said, “Mr. Damaris left after delivering those medicines, so what do you mean when you said that incident has something to do with him?”Not wanting to get into an argument with Lucian, she reined in her temper and added gently, “You of all people should know how those medicines came to be, so why would Mr. Damaris do something that won’t benefit him at all?A

Hearing Roxanne’s apology, there was a flash of smugness in Colby’s eyes, but his tone was full of concern. “As long as you get better, it doesn’t matter how tired I get. I thought… Forget it. Let’s not talk about this. Why did you call?”Uneasy, Roxanne said, “I’m afraid I’ll have to continue to trouble you.”Colby was busy since yesterday after she fell unconscious.Recently, they needed to carry out an investigation. Due to that, they had to ask for Colby’s help to grant them free rein.For everything Colby had done, Roxanne felt nothing but sorry for him.Colby, on the other end of the phone, was working overtime at the research institute, handling the surveillance footage of the research facility.He froze momentarily when he heard what Roxanne said but soon returned to normal. “What is it? Go on. I’ll try my best to help.”Roxanne said with a grateful smile, “Mr. Farwell and I want to investigate yesterday’s incident. In the process, we will need permission to access the resear

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.

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.
