All Chapters of The Wife He Abandoned: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

"...Arabella?"Leonard's voice was nearly drowned out by the sound of the waves.But it was enough to freeze everyone in place.Adele stood several steps away from him.Meanwhile, Elena was still crying in Sebastian's arms.No one moved.No one spoke.Because that one name had finally been spoken.The name that had been buried for years.The name that had been hidden for years.The name that was supposed to be dead.Leonard stared at Adele without blinking.He no longer even seemed aware that Elena had been in his arms only moments earlier.His entire mind was focused on one thing.Arabella.And the longer he looked at Adele's face—The more certain he became.Those eyes.That voice.The way she looked at him.Everything."Adele..." Leonard's breathing grew heavy. "You..."But before he could finish—Adele laughed.Not a happy laugh.Not a relieved laugh.But a laugh filled with years of pain."Finally."Her gaze never left Leonard."You finally figured it out."The words struck him h

Elena's innocent words made Leonard stop in his tracks.He didn't turn around immediately.But his entire body froze.Because there was no hatred in Elena's voice.No anger.Only the fear of a little girl who didn't want a stranger disrupting her world.And somehow, that hurt far more.Adele gently stroked her daughter's hair."It's okay, sweetheart."Elena wrapped her arms tightly around her mother's waist."I don't like it when that man makes Mama cry."A sharp ache tightened in Leonard's chest.Because the child was right.Every time he appeared, old wounds were torn open again.Every time he showed up, there were tears."Let's go home."Sebastian's voice was calm.He picked Elena up and started walking toward the car.Elena still had her arms wrapped tightly around his neck.As if the safest place in the world was right there.Leonard watched them.And for the first time—He truly understood what Arabella must have felt.Watching someone else fill a place that should have been his

Leonard remained standing in front of the penthouse window.The photograph of Elena was still in his hand.For years, Leonard had believed that the Ashcroft name was everything.It opened doors.It commanded respect.It made him believe he could never lose.But now...That very name had become the reason people walked away from him.He gazed out over the city of London.The lights of the buildings still glittered against the night sky.Yet there was no longer a single place that truly felt like home.His phone rang.This time, it was the company's lawyer."Mr. Leonard.""What is it now?""We need your signature.""For what?""The sale of the company's remaining assets."Leonard closed his eyes."Which assets?""Three office buildings... and the remainder of your personal shares."He remained silent for a long moment."What if I refuse?"The lawyer took a slow breath."Then thousands of employees who still haven't received their salaries will have to wait even longer."Leonard lowered

Leonard read the text message several times before finally turning off his phone screen. The sentence was simple, yet it weighed far more heavily than every accusation ever thrown at him.If you truly want to atone for your sins, don't begin by chasing Arabella... begin by saving Ash.For the past several weeks, his thoughts had been consumed by Arabella and Elena. Every time he opened his eyes, he saw the terrified expression on his daughter's face as she struggled in his arms. Every time he closed them, he saw the icy look in Arabella's eyes when she revealed her true identity.Without realizing it, there was another child who needed him even more.Leonard started the engine and drove toward the rental house that had become his new home. It was far smaller than the Ashcroft estate, but for the first time in years, it felt more honest than the grand mansion he had once been so proud of.The moment he opened the front door, Ash's cries echoed through the house.The nanny, who was carr

The meeting at the shelter didn't change the past.It didn't restore the jobs that had been lost.It didn't erase the disappointment of the people who had once depended on Ashcroft Group for their livelihoods.But when Leonard left that place, one thing had changed.He was no longer looking for excuses to defend himself.A few days later.The small house Leonard now called home had settled into a new routine.Every morning began with Ash crying for his bottle.The afternoons were filled with the baby's naps, diaper changes, and occasional walks through the small park near the house.The nights were the most exhausting.But Leonard no longer complained.Even when Ash woke up three times in a single night, Leonard got out of bed himself before the nanny even had a chance to leave her room.Little by little, Ash began recognizing Leonard's voice.Whenever Leonard entered the nursery, the baby no longer cried.Instead, his tiny hands reached out, asking to be held.The nanny quietly watch
