Abandoned Wife Unburdening
Alice watched him leave, her eyes misty. She didn't agree with the part where he said that their child would suffer because they didn't love each other. She was sure she could give all the love in the world to that baby. Even knowing that it would tie her to a bad marriage with Robert Graham, nothing could prevent her from loving Ethan without limits. She would love him so much that the last thing he would lack was love. Unlike Robert who, for whatever reasons, possibly personal ones, never approached her during her pregnancy. He left them there, abandoned, forgot about them, and showed no interest in either of them.She knew that the things Robert mentioned weren't just excuses; he was simply answering her questions. But more questions formed inside Alice, almost like complaints, as if it was necessary to have this conversation with the man who once was her husband, the father of her child.She dried her eyes and ran a hand through her hair, picked up the brochure, and left the room.
Abandoned Wife What is Henry planning?
When Simon Leclerc arrived home that evening, little Maite greeted him with that charming smile, running to his feet for her father to pick her up, followed by his wife coming out to greet him. "Welcome home," she said, giving him two kisses on his lips. They settled in the living room, as every evening after he came home, and they had their afternoon tea together. "How was Alice's first day?" Sofia asked with keen interest. It was Alice's first job, and everyone was curious to know how it went. Her sisters had already talked amongst themselves, laughing at each other's comments because Alice had to work. "She was clearly surprised to learn she would work with her ex-husband. I still don't understand how Henry let them divorce." Simon couldn't fathom why Henry would allow that. "But rumors spread fast, Sofia. You hadn't told me that Graham Group now belongs to the Taylors. How did that happen?" he took a sip of his tea, looking at his wife. "Although asking is pointless. But... wa
Abandoned Wife Where is Ethan?!
Another day dawned and Robert wasn't feeling the same as the previous day because of his job. He thought of Ethan, not Alice.But her words were in his head."You left us."He never got to know him, except for that photo he found in that house among Alice's belongings before she went to retrieve her things. It was the only glimpse he had of his son, plus that room that neither of them could enter after Ethan Graham Taylor's death.He took the keys and drove there, he wouldn't be early for work.The lady greeted him with much surprise seeing him there now that Alice was gone and the divorce had been finalized."Sir, I wasn't expecting you, would you like some breakfast?""Just a coffee, please.""Right away."Robert headed to that room, and when he opened the door he saw so many things ready for his son that he started to cry. He wasn't fooling himself, he still thought that baby was a mistake, he wouldn't be a good father, which was clear even to Alice. But being there in that empty
Abandoned Wife No results
After lunch, Simon summoned Alice, wanting to know if she had any information about Robert, who on his second day of work had already been absent without making a call or anything of the sort.Samantha opened the door for her to enter, but Alice stood by her side, looking at the black, thick hair that fell over her shoulders."Nice hair," Alice remarked, noticing that she wore it down."Thank you." Samantha looked inside, urging her to come in."Hello, Simon." This time he stood up, leaving everything he was doing to greet and pay attention to his little sister-in-law. "How are you?""How are you? Yesterday you looked very surprised, it was obvious that neither of you knew you would be working together. How are you? Tense? Distressed? Angry? I hope you don't have the same fits of rage as your older sister, because I don't want you to burn down the company every time you get stressed with your ex-husband." They both laughed, recalling the time Sofia decided burning everything was the b
Abandoned Wife Covering traces
"Have you never been to his grave?" Simon loved driving his comfortable car. He felt happy every time he went out in it; he could almost fall asleep every time he sat in its comfy seats. It was a gift from his uncle, as he had to travel frequently. He loved comfort, or he'd get stressed; he would stress horribly. "No, I've never been there.""Sofia told me you never met him, Robert.""I didn't make it to Ethan's birth. I didn't plan to.""And what were you doing?""I was with... my mistress.""A classic villain move, right? I'm starting to understand why Sofia detests you. Alice should too, and you should hate yourself.""Everyone already does, Simon. You should too.""And why didn't you plan to attend your son's birth?""I don't have an answer to that which you'd understand without having to explain many other things. So I'd rather just say I didn't want to. That's it; that's the answer you'll get." For someone who loved to talk, he didn't want to discuss this. The Taylor family m

She chatted with the nurse in the living room for a bit and then locked herself in his room.On the bed, she looked at her things as she undressed to take a bath. Her legs hurt from the exercises, but she liked how she felt. She looked in Jared's wardrobe, seeing each and every one of his shirts with very similar colors, as if only the shade changed. This made her smile a little.Naked, she looked in the bathroom. There were many of his personal items and only one toothbrush from Alice. She tied her hair up high, and that reminded her of Samantha.Why her?That simple thing had her a bit frustrated, more than anything to avoid thinking about the recent conversations with Robert Graham.She didn't like him mentioning Ethan, and she didn't want to talk about him.
