Chapter 126 – The Abandoned Wife: Leaving the Country After Divorce Novel

Filed to story: Leaving the Country After Divorce Novel (Lucian & Roxanne)

Beneath the articles, all the comments praised how well Lucian treated Roxanne. There were also a lot of comments saying they looked very compatible.

The children were slowly wavering.

After reading through the articles, Archie and Benny could not help but carry their laptops and run to their mother for answers. “Mommy, are you getting together with Mr. Farwell?”

Roxanne took a look at the articles on the screen. She couldn’t help but frown.

She was worried Archie and Benny would misunderstand. That was why she didn’t want Lysa to say too much during dinner. Unexpectedly, the two children decided to investigate the matter themselves.

Archie and Benny looked at Roxanne with their eyes wide.

“No. His fiancée is Aubree Pearson. You guys have met her. The news reports are wrong.” After a moment of silence, Roxanne forced herself to suppress her discomfort and give the two children an explanation.

Hearing that, Archie and Benny exchanged a glance with each other. Archie nodded his head obediently and said nothing more.

Meanwhile, Benny felt a slight pang of disappointment in his heart.

He thought that he was finally going to have a father.

After Sonya had a talk with Lucian, she returned home. The first thing she did was call the Pearson residence.

After the news was released, Aubree refused to go into the office and hear all the employees gossip about how good Lucian looked with Roxanne in the photos. Thus, she decided to stay home for the next two days.

When Sonya called, Aubree was right next to Gina.

“I’ve already spoken to Lucian. Tell Aubree not to worry. This won’t happen again. Just rest easy and wait for the engagement!” said Sonya over the phone.

Gina glanced over at Aubree and gestured for her to answer.

Aubree adjusted her mood. In a polite tone, she said, “Thank you, Mrs. Farwell.”

Hearing her voice, Sonya was stunned. Guilt washed over her heart when she thought about how Lucian had mentioned he had no intention of fulfilling the marriage contract with her. “Aubree, I’m sorry you have to go through this.”

Aubree’s expression turned ugly. However, her words remained polite. “I’m fine, Mrs. Farwell. As long as I can be with Lucian, I am willing to bear with all these.”

Sonya felt bad for her. “Don’t worry. No matter what, I will only acknowledge you as my daughter-in-law. You can forget about the news yesterday. Everyone thinks the woman in the photo is you anyway, so no one will say anything.”

Aubree responded with more thanks.

After some small talk, the call ended.

Aubree could finally let her heart down.

However, when she recalled how intimate Lucian and Roxanne looked in those two pictures, she couldn’t help but feel her anger rise.

Previously, during Alfred’s birthday celebration, Roxanne had already humiliated her once.

Now, she almost ruined Aubree’s engagement.

It seems like I have to teach that b*tch a lesson. She needs to be put in her place!

After thinking about it all night, Aubree went to wait by the entrance of the kindergarten the next day.

She watched as Roxanne dropped Archie and Benny off. When she turned around to go back to her car, Aubree quickly followed behind her. She strode over and opened Roxanne’s front passenger seat door.

Roxanne automatically assumed it was Lucian. She raised an eyebrow and looked over. When she saw who it was, her face turned solemn. “What do you think you’re doing, Ms. Pearson?”

Aubree smirked. “Nothing. I just wanted to have a chat with you. Are you free now, Ms. Jarvis?”

Roxanne could already guess what she wanted to talk about. With a frown, she answered, “Sorry, but I’m busy. I don’t have time to chat.”

“You don’t even know what I want to say, but you’re in such a hurry to reject me. Could it be that you’re feeling guilty, Ms. Jarvis?” Aubree asked mockingly.

Hearing that, Roxanne’s face stiffened. She turned to meet Aubree’s eyes. “I have work in the morning, so I’ll only be free at noon. Since you’re the one who suggested a talk, you can pick a place. I’ll be there.”

The only reason she rejected Aubree was that she felt like she had already drawn a clear line with Lucian. She was not interested in being drawn into Aubree and Lucian’s relationship again.

However, considering the fact that Aubree had taken things that far, she would only get worse in the future.

Roxanne decided she might as well just clear things up now.

Seeing that she had agreed, Aubree no longer pestered her. She opened the car door and got down.

Watching her figure disappear from her line of sight, Roxanne suppressed the confusion in her heart. She started the car and headed toward the research institute.

These two days were a critical period for the project she was handling. Thus, she was completely swamped with work the entire morning.

By the time she got done and took a look at her phone, she realized it wasn’t long before it was time for her to meet Aubree at the designated time.

Roxanne did not delay. She quickly got into her car and set off.

Despite her speedy driving, Aubree was already sitting there waiting when she reached the café.

“You’re a very busy woman, Ms. Jarvis. I have to wait such a long time just to meet you.” The moment they met, Aubree lashed out with a sarcastic comment.

Roxanne sat down opposite her. “My apologies. I was very busy this morning. I am sorry you had to wait long, Ms. Pearson.”

Even after that, she could tell that Aubree still wanted to mock her further. Roxanne was not in the mood to waste more time with her. “Ms. Pearson, as you can tell, I am quite a busy person. If you have anything to say, just get straight to the point. I still have to rush back to work.”

Hearing that, Aubree swallowed her words. She couldn’t help but choke up as her expression turned cold. “Don’t you know what I want to say? My engagement with Lucian has been public news for a very long time. I doubt you haven’t seen it!”

Roxanne had already expected she would say something along those lines. Her facial expression did not waver. “I have seen it. I wish you two lifelong happiness.”

“Roxanne Jarvis!” When Aubree saw how chill Roxanne’s attitude was, she couldn’t help but retort, “There’s only the two of us here. Why are you still putting on an act? Since you already knew about my engagement with Lucian, how will you explain the news headlines yesterday?”

It was just as Roxanne had suspected.

Disdain filled Roxanne’s heart, but her face remained neutral. “Shouldn’t you be very happy to read yesterday’s headlines? Everyone is talking about how considerate Mr. Farwell is being toward his fiancée. Isn’t that exactly what you want?”

Anyhow, she had no intention to step forward with the truth. To an outsider’s eye, the woman in the photo was Aubree.

Aubree’s face was still icy. She clenched her fists in an attempt to soothe the anger in her heart. She stared frostily at Roxanne and replied, “I don’t need those two photos to prove how well Lucian treats me. For the past six years, he has loved me only! If it wasn’t for you, the person who married him would have been me too!”

Roxanne was indifferent to her words.

Aubree was telling the truth.
