The two ladies went downstairs, one after another. Catalina placed Aubree’s thermal container on the table. She was about to say something when she heard the latter’s cold voice ring out behind her. “Since Lucian can’t eat that, you can finish it for him.”
Catalina was momentarily stunned. Then she figured out what was going on. She’s venting her anger on me because of what I said earlier.
Realizing that, she suppressed the helplessness in her heart and answered politely, “Thank you. You’re too kind, Ms. Pearson.” Aubree shot her an icy glare. The more she looked at Catalina, the more furious she was.
As soon as I received Mrs. Farwell’s call this morning, I had my housekeeper prepare the broth. I waited until the broth was done and brought it here, thinking of buttering Lucian up and getting in his good graces. However, I never expected my efforts to be ruined by this woman! And if I remember correctly, when Roxanne was still in this house, the two seemed to get along well.
At the thought of that, Aubree looked even more upset. “Do you also wish for Roxanne to come back?”
The question came out of the blue and stunned Catalina for a few seconds. Finally, she replied, “That’s Mr. Farwell’s personal matter. As a subordinate, it’s not my place to comment on it.”
Aubree snorted coldly. “It’s good that you know that. In the future, you’d better stay far away when I’m talking to Lucian.”
Catalina gave a bitter smile as she nodded, missing the time when Roxanne had been around even more.
Since Lucian was ignoring Aubree, Catalina thought the latter would leave.
The last thing she expected was for Aubree to stay the entire afternoon.
Neither of the two women uttered a word to the other.
It was not until school was over for Estella that Catalina felt a sense of relief.
“Ms. Pearson, I’m going to pick up Ms. Estella from school. Would you—”
She was about to ask Aubree if the latter would like to join her.
However, Aubree cut her off mid-sentence and said, “You don’t have to go. Since I’m here, I should be the one to pick her up.”
With that, she picked up her bag and rose to her feet.
Catalina balked at the suggestion when she thought about how deeply Estella disliked Aubree, but because of the difference in their statuses, she was not in a place to say anything.
All she could do was stand by and watch Aubree leave the house.
Upstairs, Lucian was bored from being cooped up inside his room and came out to get some air.
As soon as he got downstairs, he spotted Catalina looking anxious.
“Why are you still here? Shouldn’t classes have ended for Essie by now?” he asked with a frown.
She turned to him with an embarrassed expression. “Ms. Pearson… She… I couldn’t stop her.”
His frown deepened at her reply. Nonetheless, he knew that if Aubree was the one to make the suggestion, it would be difficult for Catalina to dismiss it.
Ultimately, it was an oversight on my part.
“I’ll go over myself.”
If I let Aubree pick Essie up, Essie will probably come home in tears.
Catalina could not help worrying when she heard that. “But you’re not—”
Lucian waved his hand dismissively. “It’s not that serious. I’ll have the driver send me there.”
His response made her feel much more at ease, and she quickly went to get the driver.
The children were queuing up at the kindergarten entrance, waiting for their parents to pick them up.
Archie, Benny, and Estella gathered together. Estella’s face was etched with worry, and her eyes were still red-rimmed.
As the boys stood next to her, they reassured her in their piping voices, “Don’t worry, Essie. We’ll soon bring Mommy over so that she can treat Mr. Farwell. Just wait patiently.”
Estella nodded at Archie and Benny obediently. “Essie!” Just as the three children were chatting up a storm, someone suddenly called out to Estella from a distance.
The three children turned to look toward the direction of the voice in unison. Since Lucian was out sick, there was no way he would come pick up Estella.
By that logic, Catalina was likely the one who had come to fetch her. However, when they saw the person who was approaching, surprise tinged their expressions. One by one, they frowned.
The person who called out to Estella was Aubree. Paying no heed to Archie and Benny, Aubree strode toward Estella directly. “Essie, your father is still sick, so I came to pick you up in his stead.”
Aubree reached out, intending to take Estella’s hand.
Estella pursed her lips. A reluctant look spread across her face when she saw the woman’s outstretched hand and she silently hid her hands behind her back.
Frowning slightly, Aubree admonished the little girl, “Essie.” Sensing the veiled threat in Aubree’s tone, Estella ran toward the boys and carefully hid behind them.
She would rather follow Lysa to Roxanne’s place than return with Aubree.
Estella had not forgotten the last time Aubree had sent her to school. The latter had spanked her bottom inside the car.
I’m never going with that evil woman ever again! Sensing her fear, Archie and Benny stood in front of Estella protectively.
“Ms. Pearson, we will see that Essie gets home in a bit.”
Aubree glanced at Archie and Benny and was suddenly reminded of Roxanne.
She maintained a smile on her face as she thought of the latter, but her eyes darkened perceptibly. “Since I’m already here, there’s no need to trouble anyone else.”
Estella tensed up behind the two boys, still refusing to come out.
Pippa, who had watched the scene unfold, hurriedly came over to diffuse the situation.
“Ms. Pearson, since Essie is unwilling, I will handle sending her home later.”
Aubree lifted her head and smiled at Pippa. “There’s no need. There seems to be some misunderstanding, but I’m sure Essie and I can resolve it.” She then glanced at the three children. “You two leave us. I have something to say to Essie.”
Archie and Benny looked at Estella hesitantly.
In response, Estella shook her head.
“Essie doesn’t want to talk to you,” the boys announced.
Aubree’s expression grew ugly when she heard the retort.
The little shits! I was planning to return with Estella in order to earn some brownie points from Lucian. Why is she making it so difficult?
“Your father will be worried if you return home late.” Aubree suppressed her rage. “He’s still not feeling well. Essie, be a good girl, and don’t cause trouble for your father.”
At the mention of her father, Estella hesitated for a moment before stepping out from behind the two boys.
However, when she saw Aubree’s face, she was immediately reminded of her horrible behavior.
A surge of worry and fear enveloped Estella. Instantly, her eyes reddened, and tears began to well up.
“Be a good girl now.” Paying no heed to the little girl’s anxiety, Aubree reached out to grab her hand.
Just then, Pippa’s voice sounded from behind them.
“Mr. Farwell, what brings you here?”
Wasn’t Ms. Pearson supposed to pick Essie up?
Upon hearing Pippa’s words, the children turned their attention toward Aubree and peered at her suspiciously before turning to look at Lucian, who was standing in front of them in casual clothing.
Perhaps it was because of his illness. Although his posture appeared to be laid back, his expression was anything but relaxed.

Post the remaining chapters please.. this is getting dragged too much eventhough it’s good
I agree… Please just finish the book off and rather write another one, we love your writing so we will definitely read them but at this point you have been dragging the book on for too long and some might stop reading soon… Please just post the rest of the chapters and finish the book… Thank you and also Thank you for an amazing book
It’s an interesting book please drop another chapters we can’t wait for roo long
Yess waiting for too long a time may lead readers to a search of another story to read and may forget to continue if it stops for too long.
I also agree with you.
Iam slowly losing patience and almost losing interest
Your novel’s good bit you said it’s free for us to finished the story. If you keep doing this I will stup reading any novel that you write. Thanks. Hopely you let us enjoy your hard work.
Some more chapterplease abandoned wife novel. Thanks
I’m considering not reading anymore chapters until they’re all released. That way I can enjoy what’s left of it in one go. Fab story but it’s dragged out for too long now. It’s so good I would probably have read it a couple of times by this point if it was a complete book.
I think I will do this too. I’ve bought the editor coffee multiple times trying to prompt the uploads, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Wish we could just purchase the book!
Thank you author for the chapters you have uploaded..and waiting for more chapters soon..🙂
More chapters please.. A bit dragging on, making it boring..
I agree with you
Thank u …..l really wish we could have more chapters of this beautiful story
Keep the chapters coming, it’s frustrating waiting for the truth to come out
More chapters please.
More chapters please.
Dragging out again. Miscommunication again. Like it’s a good story, but it seriously does not need to continue on like this. Can we have the truth come out already?
Thank you for uploading the chapters. More chapters again soon please.
Thank you. I cant wait to see Lucien take control of this situation. He is being way too reactive. Protecting his family should be priority. Aubree and his mom have too much leeway. I Appreciate you Author.
Had some lines fuddled up that I couldn’t even understand and the story is dragging out way too long.
There has been no revelations just vindictiveness and spite. Stories arr to be written to entice readers to continue reading with revelations even small ones to keep readers enticed to see what happens next. Here we are with no revelations except reading the same stuff over and over. I am getting to the point of giving up. We will hit chapter 2000 and Aubree will still get away with her crap, identities will never be revealed and it will just keep going on and on. How about some revelations and OMG moments.
No progress. Still at same. Kindly post at least 20 chapters
I agree or 50 chapters is worth waiting.
I think it’s pointless to keep begging the editor to post more chapters cause it’s clear that is not happening. It would have been better if atleast new chapter were published on a daily basis.
Take heart fellow readers.
Especially this novel from the ones iam reading has been dragging. Iam equally I’m equally fade up
More chapters please. Thank you.
Come on please give us an ending to this story ,it’s going on too long now very frustrating
Let’s see Aubree get her own punishment for being so evil
More please
The suspense is killing me
More chapters pls.
More chapters please
Can’t wait to read more
Eagerly waiting for the remaining episodes 🙏
Hope Roxanne and Lucian’s relationship progresses soon. They are just going back and forth for the 300 hundred chapters.
I agree with you. No progress on the relationship of the leads only misunderstandings, children are even suffering more with this situation such that they are taking things in their own hands. Better to end this story
Please keep the new chapters coming.
Thank you, but this has been the same old story. Please post the other chapters, hopefully, something exciting might happen.
more chapters please
Looking forward for more chapter update Asap
To the writer or writers ,thank you for the new chapters. Please keep them coming. Aubree is becoming too much. One of her goals is to get rid of Essie. I am glad Lucian showed up at the school. Can’t wait for Sonya to get a rude awaking about her so called daughter in law to be. Keep the chapters coming.
Next chapter please..thank you
More plzzzzzzz
Why would Lucian let that witch Aubree in his house after she abused Essie? Why would anyone want her around at all? Doesn’t make sense to me.
Let’s cut a deal here. Give us at least five chapters per day. Please your readers are starving. This novel is so good 👍
Can the truth come out already please.
Please more chapters why you keep only adding 10 episodes at a time. I’m done with ten chapters in a few hours.
Keep them coming please
Please finish this novel. Loving it
It s the same story over and over again. Sonya, Aubry and Roxanne backing up and disappearing ! The same thing over and over throughout hundreds of chapters! What s going on. The same day Roxanne and Madelyn discovered the institute and the employee who stole the bacteria and Roxanne said I have to talk to Lucian before she hurts Essie again! It s been weeks and nothing was done. She doesn t have to tell him it is Aubry! She can give him the name of the lab worker! Come on now this us detting ridiculous!!! And boring!
Hello 👋
Thank you for the updates please please update some more.
How many chapters does this novel have? Can we have more chapters please.
Most of these have atleast 2000 but I guess we will see
This is dragging to much !!! I strart skipping chapters. I can’t take it anymore there is no no plot development, please put an end!!!
I am truly enjoying this story. I hate waiting to read more. Excited for all the secrets to come out.
Waiting for the break through. Thank you. So interesting.
Please update with more chapters. We need chapters daily. I’m wondering why Roxanne did not question Archie and Benny more about calling Sonya Grandma. Isn’t that a clue to knowing their identities?
Thankyou…I wish Aubrie would just be caught she makes me cringe especially near the children…was there poison in the soup wouldn’t put it past her…thank goodness Lucian picked Essie up
I believe there is probably 2000 chapters we are quarter of way through…enjoy the ups and downs ill be happy if Aubrey is brought down soon 🙂
Please more chapters thank you. !!
There are over 2000 chapters, I stopped reading it chapters ago when I found out there are over 2000 chapters at 10 chapters every 3 to 4 days figure it out how long it will take to end this never ending drama
Last chapters aubree was nearly caught now back to square one Lucian is sick are u trying to get the story to be longer or what 🙄🤔😔
I have found the complete book else where not sure why it takes so long to update here…
Really where did you find it? I know there are some reading apps that have this story but you have to buy coins or watch adds you still don’t get the full story straight away.
Thanks

More chapters please. Thanks Author
More chapters please. Thanks Author
I love the story even the rest of what you have published and if only I am well off. I would certainly buy you coffee everyday so you would be more inspired to write all those novels with more chapters . Somehow, I am not. All I coulc say is thank you for giving us this free story to read. I am happy!
more please
How I wish more chapters to be uploaded soon..and dear author will u pls minimize the participation of Aubrey’s and Sonya’s part in the story? It’s really annoying😔 uh
Please upload more chapters, I miss reading this book
Why do you take so long to update the chapters? Do something to fix this problem coz its really dis hurting to wait for more than three days then you only post ten chapters which is not enough
More please
Today is February 1st! How time files… hopefully the chapters, more chapters are coming soon. Not too much coffee though.
Please post the next batch of chapters. Thanks!
Chapter 507 where are u?😍
we have been waiting for more chapters please hurry with story!
When are you going to make lead roles ge together? It is rather dragging. Aubry should get punished but always the kids and Lucian are being suffering.
What about te arranged accident to Sonya? Don’t you charge Aubry for that. Roxane and her friend cleverly got hold of the person who stole the bacteria and now every body has forgotten it.
Please dont dissapoint us. We love the way you write and complete the story quickly. That’s interesting.
More chapters please. Thanks for the good work.
Please, please, please load more chapters 🙏
I feel am a fool. I keep coming back hoping more chapters are posted but none. Pls post more
Hie author, your book has been dragging on for too long and it’s becoming boring! Imagine we are already in chapter 500 still no progress ,just circling on one story also the chapters have been coming after 3-4 days.I was really interested in reading it but now I give up.Thanks.
Please more chapters I know you are letting us read it free but it is not nice to let us read so little few chapters at a time.it’s such a great story!!
The chapters have started taking long again
Its dragging on too long and its repeating itself.
This is getting frustrating. How do we get to buy the whole novel?
I would like to read all of this. Some of it dragged a bit. I am absolutely hoping the evil woman and his mother get their comeuppance and I’m looking forward to finding out how essie came to be with her dad since she was supposed to have not survived birth. Pretty please an update soon.
I wanna turn the page forward but still a backward.
Appreciate your efforts at bringing updates as fast as you can love this story…thankyou for being you and bringing us a wonderful story…Aubrey could go to jail atleast lol
Wow almost 90 comment and still no update
How many responses do you need before new chapters are loaded? It’s been 5 days already 😢
I’m on holiday and thought I will have some quiet/relaxing time while reading this book… 😢
Why are the new chapters taking so long? It’s usually released twice a week… Never takes this long. Hope the person that releases the chapters are okay…

Thank you, plenty nect chapters please!
Please upload the next chapter, we have waited for too long
This time author you took too long to update more chapters. How long should we wait
Roxanne needs to make Lucian feel better so he will feel indebted to her. She also needs to come clean on what info she has found out about that bacteria the kids had drank.
