The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 117: Goodbye, My Daughter
Elena's question left Sebastian silent for a moment.The little girl was still clutching the edge of his suit jacket, occasionally glancing toward Leonard. The fear that had once filled her eyes no longer made her hide behind her mother, but her dislike was still unmistakable. For a child her age, a painful first impression was not something that disappeared simply because the adults said everything had changed.Sebastian gently stroked Elena's hair before lifting her into his arms."Why is Daddy talking to the bad uncle?""Because he's Daddy's friend."Elena immediately shook her head."No."Sebastian smiled patiently."Why not?""Because he's a bad uncle."Her voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough for Leonard, who stood several steps away, to hear every word.He remained silent, allowing Sebastian to handle the conversation.Sebastian didn't contradict her right away."Elena... Uncle Leonard isn't a bad person."The little girl quickly shook her head again.She hugged her teddy
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 116: A Grudge No One Ever Knew
Leonard looked at Sebastian for a long moment without saying a word.From the tone of his friend's voice, he knew their conversation wasn't over.They had known each other for years, yet never once had Sebastian spoken with such weight in his voice.A gentle spring breeze drifted across the hotel balcony, carrying the faint sound of laughter from the reception hall.Beyond the glass doors, the wedding celebration continued in warmth and joy, while outside, two men who had once stood on opposite sides were finally speaking without hatred between them."What is it?" Leonard finally asked.Sebastian didn't answer right away.His gaze remained fixed on the garden below, where white flowers bloomed beneath the afternoon sun."I once told you that I'd known you for a long time."Leonard nodded."And that was true."Sebastian drew a slow breath before continuing."But there's one thing I never told you."Leonard waited patiently."I used to hate you."The confession didn't surprise Leonard.
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 115: The Last Gift from the Past
"Should we open it now?" Sebastian asked Adele."I think it would be better to wait."Sebastian nodded and handed the gift to one of the wedding coordinators."Please keep it in the bridal suite for now. After we've finished greeting all the guests, I'll open it."The coordinator immediately carried the box away.The family photo session resumed.Camera flashes continued to light up the ballroom as guests took turns stepping onto the stage to congratulate the newlyweds. The tension that had lingered over everyone for weeks had finally been replaced by warm laughter and cheerful conversation.Elena quickly became the center of attention.With innocent pride, she introduced Sebastian to everyone who came over to greet her."This is my Daddy."Every time she said those words, Sebastian would simply smile and gently stroke her hair.Adele watched the two of them, unable to hide her smile.To her, there was no greater gift than seeing her daughter grow up with the sense of security she had
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 114: A Blessing That Came Too Late
Elena's innocent words brought Adele to a halt.The ballroom, which had moments earlier been filled with soft music and the quiet murmurs of the guests, suddenly seemed to fall silent in Leonard's ears. The little girl clung tightly to her mother's leg as she peeked over her shoulder, as though afraid the man who had once made her cry would come any closer.Adele slowly knelt until she was at eye level with her daughter.She gently stroked Elena's hair before speaking softly."It's all right. That uncle is only here as a guest."Elena slowly shook her head."I don't like him."Adele didn't force her daughter to change the way she felt.Elena's fear wasn't something that could disappear after a single explanation. The wounds Leonard had left behind ran too deep for a child so young.Seeing what was happening, Sebastian stepped forward.He crouched beside Elena and held out his hand."Would you like Daddy to walk with you to the front?"Elena nodded immediately and gripped Sebastian's h
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 113: Why Is the Bad Uncle Here?
The long-awaited morning had finally arrived.The London sky had been clear since sunrise, as though it, too, welcomed the day that would mark a new beginning for Adele and Sebastian. The hotel hosting the wedding reception had already filled with guests an hour before the ceremony was set to begin. Floral arrangements lined the entrance, while reporters and photographers waited in the designated press area.The wedding of Sebastian Rowe and Adele Laurent had become one of the city's most anticipated events.Not only because they were both well-known figures in the business world, but also because their life stories had captured public attention in recent months.This time, however, there were no headlines about the Ashcroft family scandal.No stories about Cedric.Today, most media outlets had chosen to focus on only one thing—A woman who had successfully rebuilt her life after surviving her past.Inside the bridal suite, Adele sat before the mirror as the makeup artist applied the
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 112: Learning to Let Go
Leonard read the message over and over without replying.Adele's words were not long, nor did they carry the anger that had filled their conversations some time ago. Yet that was precisely why they cut so deeply. There was no longer any demand for him to change. There were no questions waiting to be answered. Adele was simply expressing a decision she had made with all her heart.He turned off his phone and looked once again at the wedding invitation still resting in his hand.A few months ago, he had been searching for every possible way to get close to the woman who had once been his wife.Now, she was asking him to do the one thing that was hardest of all.To let go of the past.Leonard let out a long breath before unlocking his phone again. His fingers hovered over the screen for a long time as countless sentences came to mind.An apology felt long overdue.An explanation was no longer necessary.In the end, he typed only one reply.I understand. I hope you finally find the happin
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 33: What Kind of Fool Would Destroy Someone Like You
Adele’s words made Leonard fall silent for a few seconds.Her tone was calm. Not judgmental. And somehow, that was exactly what made him uneasy.He studied her more closely.“So you already think I’m that terrible?”Adele slowly sipped her coffee.“I’m only stating facts.”“And everyone lies someti

The words made Sebastian fall silent for several seconds.Across from him, Arabella slowly straightened.She couldn’t hear the entire conversation.But that last word had been clear enough.Pregnant.Sebastian glanced at Arabella briefly before focusing on the call again.“That was fast.”Leonard s
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 16: The Woman Leonard Ashcroft Chose
The words sounded like a joke.But both of them knew there was a hint of threat beneath them.Leonard actually let out a quiet laugh. The coldness in his expression softened slightly.“You enjoy using my grandmother to scare me far too much.”“Because it works.”Leonard raised a brow. “Are you sure
The Wife He Abandoned Chapter 12: The Name He Didn’t Want to Hear
“What is it?”Leonard’s voice came through the phone immediately.“So you finally decided to answer.”Sebastian walked a little farther out onto the apartment balcony.A light rain was still falling, streaking the glass walls of the high-rise building.“You sound terrible,” Sebastian said flatly.L
