The Abandoned Wife

The expensive plants had all been replaced with some unimpressive flowers, and the walls were decorated with strips of colorful lights. Unsure if Lucian was satisfied with the decoration, Cayden explained, "I kept the decoration simple as per your instructions, Mr. Farwell." The look in Lucian's eyes slowly grew gentle as he scanned the back garden. "This will do. Did you bring the item I asked for?"

Cayden quickly whipped out an exquisite velvet box and handed it over to him.

The cold look on Lucian's face vanished completely when he opened the box and saw its content.

Exhausted from crying, Estella fell asleep while lying in Roxanne's arms.

Roxanne didn't get any sleep throughout the entire afternoon. The incident with Aubree left her feeling a little tired as well, so she decided to take a nap on Estella's bed.

Seeing as Roxanne and Estella were fast asleep, Archie and Benny left the room to avoid disturbing them. Upon arriving at the balcony, they saw Lucian and Cayden discussing something in the back garden. They couldn't hear what the two were saying, but they could see Cayden handing Lucian a tiny box. As the boys got on their tiptoes to get a better look, they saw something shiny inside the box.
