Shayne looked guilty and regretful, which baffled me. What was going on with him?He approached me slowly. "Can we talk?"Julian also looked down at me.Shayne had been acting strange lately. In the past few days, every time he saw me, he would always say weird things.Even though I no longer had feelings for him, he was still convinced that I was hopelessly in love with him. Today, he was asking to talk to me."We have nothing to talk about." I declined without even thinking about it.I shifted my gaze from him to the little kids walking out of the kindergarten. "We've already said whatever needed to be said.""I just wanted to ask. Did I treat you badly when we were married?" Shaye asked, his tone heavy.What a pointless question. Had he treated me well, we wouldn't have ended up divorcing.Without waiting for my answer, Shayne continued, "When I'm with Luna, as long as she acts sweet and tells me what she wants, I always buy it for her. "After I bought the things she want

Shayne's heart ached as well. He patted Zach's back gently. "You have Mama Luna."Zach's crying came to an abrupt halt.Thinking he had comforted Zach, Shayne continued, "She'll treat you even better than Aralyn did.""No, she won't." Zach pulled away from Shayne's embrace."Dad, stop lying to me. I may be a kid, but I understand everything," Zach added seriously.Shayne wanted to say more, but Mason interjected, "Dad, can we go home now?"Shayne turned to look at him.Mason frowned. "I'm hungry.""Let's go, then. We can't have you going hungry," Shayne uttered without hesitation.Zach stayed rooted to the spot, watching as Shayne walked away with Mason hand-in-hand.Without realizing it, his dad had become someone else's dad, too.But when… did it turn out this way? Zach didn't understand.…The instructor arrived early.As we reached the entrance of the house, we saw a stranger standing in the yard uneasily."Why didn't you let him wait in the living room?" Julian aske

Not expecting Julian to trust him this much, Eric felt gratified. "Alright."When he left the study, he thoughtfully closed the door behind him.Julian sat at his desk and picked up his phone. "Continue.""The staff for the comic company has been fully recruited. The company has also been established successfully," Mark reported seriously.Now, Julian could proceed with signing Aralyn to his comic company.He crossed his legs gracefully, a hint of warmth flickering in his usually icy eyes. "Got it.""Is there anything else?" Mark inquired."I asked Lyn to design props for the gaming company. Make sure to give her a bonus," said Julian.If it were for a regular employee, Mark would have come up with a reasonable bonus amount in no time. But Julian clearly treated Aralyn differently. Everyone knew Julian was a workaholic whose mind revolved solely around the company. Yet, the typically professional and business-like Julian had insisted on bringing Aralyn into the company. Des

When Willow finished resting, the whole family gathered in the dining room to enjoy dinner together.Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Eric couldn't help but swallow hard.Julian noticed this and was worried Eric might feel too shy to eat. Hence, he served Eric some food with his utensils.Eric quickly waved his hands. "No need. I can do it myself.""Don't hold back," Julian uttered calmly.I glanced at Julian unintentionally. It was strange how his demeanor and interactions often made him seem distant and aloof. Yet, in everyday life, he came across as genuinely thoughtful.Willow had taken a few bites of her food. Once her hunger subsided a bit, she regained her usual energy as she asked, "Mommy, if I keep this up and train every day, can I become a martial arts master?"Though she hadn't even started practicing martial arts or boxing yet, her earlier dream of being a boxer had already been replaced by new ambitions.I wasn't sure what she meant by 'martial arts

It was clear what she was trying to say—Mason needed to have that lucky charm.However, Shayne didn't plan to give in to her. "I've given you plenty of money recently. If you really want to give Mason one, then take him out and buy him one yourself."As he spoke, he nudged Zach gently. "Want to open it and see if you like it?""Yes!" Zach realized that although Shayne always sided with Luna and Mason, when it came to major issues like this, Shayne would always back him up.Setting the paper bag aside, Zach opened the jewelry box and saw the bright golden item inside."Dad, I love it!" he exclaimed."Then go keep it in a safe place," Shayne replied, patting him on the back.Zach sprinted back to his room and closed the door. He opened his custom-made table. There was a hidden drawer there, and he slid it open, revealing several passbooks.The money there had been saved by Aralyn. There were also several property deeds, most of which were for commercial spaces. These were also th

"I just feel that you'll go back to Zach and be his mom again." Willow sobbed."Why would you think that?" I asked in surprise.She stifled her tears and replied, "Because you gave birth to him."Upon hearing this, I realized that Willow still felt insecure.Even though she usually played happily with me, any small stir from Zach would make her tense and worried that I would abandon her.I carefully considered how to reassure her."I know what it's like not to have a mom. It's not easy. But I also feel selfish… It's as if I stole someone else's mom. But I love you so much, Mommy. I don't want to give you back to him." Her voice trembled.I held her small hand gently and said, "Actually, I think being a little selfish is okay. You don't need to sacrifice your own happiness just to make someone else's life better."Willow looked at me, confused.I smiled. "I let go of Zach because he hurt me. No matter how much he changes afterward, it has nothing to do with me anymore. I chose

"I'm planning to sign you under my comic company. That way, you won't need to worry about promotion or publicity anymore. In the future, all you need to focus on is drawing your work," Julian uttered.These past few days, I had indeed been incredibly busy. Besides sketching, I had to color the completed line art. After finishing all that, I barely had any time left. Whatever time I did have, I spent brainstorming ways to get my work seen by a larger audience. My original plan was to set aside a few hours daily to learn promotional techniques. But now, Julian had saved me from that time-consuming effort."Thank you," I uttered, thrilled.Julian looked into my eyes. "Lyn, you don't have to be so formal with me."…Luna sat in her bedroom, growing increasingly frustrated. She still wanted to reclaim the golden lucky charm that had been gifted to Zach.Her initial plan had been to bring it up in passing when Shayne came to find her. But it was already 10:30 pm, and he still hadn't
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 110
It wouldn't be long before Shayne grew tired of her and found an excuse to kick her out.There was absolutely no way that Luna was going to let that happen.She made up her mind. She needed to find more opportunities to strengthen her bond with Shayne. Only by doing so could she stay by his side a little longer.…To help Willow improve her health, I made a point of waking her up ten minutes earlier than usual.Willow was still sleepy, but she still got out of bed.First, I had her walk a few hundred meters. Once she was fully awake, we started jogging together. When she got tired, we took breaks.After repeating this a few times, Willow was so exhausted she could barely breathe, let alone walk.She flopped down onto the grass, completely motionless.Knowing she was worn out, I carried her back to her room. Once she had washed up, I helped her take a bath.After putting on her clothes, Willow said solemnly, "It seems like getting healthier isn't something that can be achieved

Sophia ate her snacks."Just like how Aralyn lost her baby, can you guarantee that this child will be born safe and sound?" Amber asked.Charlotte was momentarily speechless."If your son didn't get a vasectomy, he doesn't have to worry even if something happens to Luna's baby. He can still have children with other women. But once he gets a vasectomy, there's no hope at all."Charlotte's expression turned unpleasant.Amber went on, "If I were you, I wouldn't be running around right now. I'd stay home and guard this child.""Since you've disowned Zach, you wouldn't be angry if he changed his last name in the future, right?" Sophia asked.Charlotte blurted out without thinking, "He wouldn't dare!""He's not even part of your family anymore. Why would he be afraid of you?" Amber chuckled.Sophia nodded. "If I were him, I'd change my last name to my mom's."Amber looked at Sophia. "That makes sense."The two of them echoed each other's words, making Charlotte feel uneasy. She hu

Charlotte glanced at Sophia before finally speaking. "Do you know what happened to Aralyn before she divorced my son?"Amber shook her head. "No."Charlotte lowered her voice. "She was pregnant with my son's child, but she fell down the stairs."Shaking her head, she added, "They say she lost a lot of blood. At that time, Aralyn looked extremely miserable."Sophia's expression darkened even more. "So, you came to my house just to tell my mom how pitiful Aralyn was? In that case, you can leave now."In her opinion, Charlotte was inherently rude. Nothing good ever came out of her mouth.There was no need to deal with her. Sophia could just throw her out.Seeing Sophia about to drive her away, Charlotte quickly said, "Of course not! I just wanted to tell you both that Aralyn can't have children anymore! If you don't make Julian leave her, I can guarantee that your family will have no descendants in the future!"Amber paused.Even Sophia was stunned. In the eyes of the older gener

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have made enough money," I said.Yasmin sneered. "Do you think I believe you?""That's up to you." With that, I hung up.Yasmin stared at the phone screen, speechless.At that moment, Donald pushed the door open and walked in. "What did she just say to you?"Yasmin stared at Donald. "She said she can't be bothered to deal with you right now."Donald didn't mind at all. "She saw everything I did. It would be a problem if she could actually forgive me."Hearing that, Yasmin felt a bit less resentful. She asked, "What should we do next?"Donald spoke unhurriedly. "Do you know how Aralyn managed to marry Julian in the first place?"Yasmin shook her head. She spent all her time hanging out with friends, so she had no time to think about these things."Because of Julian's daughter, Willow," Donald replied.Yasmin looked at Donald."At first, it was because Willow wanted a mom, so Julian invited Aralyn to his home to be her mother. Later, as they spent time

"No!" Shayne choked up as tears kept falling.Although every time in the past, he had realized that he could never truly hold onto Aralyn, none of those moments had made him as heartbroken as this one because with a marriage certificate binding them together, it meant that he really had no chance anymore.Shayne bit his lip. "No, Donald, you promised me! You should keep your word no matter what! You can't go back on your word!"Hearing Shayne's breakdown, Donald simply hung up.He wanted to help too, but he had to actually have the ability to do so.…Yasmin went home, growing more and more frustrated the more she thought about it.Why was it that an old woman like Aralyn, after getting such a great man, could keep such a tight leash on him?She didn't let him have any contact with other women!…Yasmin changed her number and called me. "Be honest, are you just jealous of how young and beautiful I am?"Jealous? What was there for me to be jealous of?I pointed out the flaw

Donald was afraid she would lose the motivation to pursue Julian, so he let out a cold snort and said, "Considering what you did to Aralyn back then, if you were Aralyn, would you forgive someone who bullied you like that?""No." Yasmin shook her head.What she had done back then was indeed out of line and downright inhumane.…Willow sat in the car, resting her head on my arm. She then looked up at me and asked, "Mommy, who was that lady just now?""Someone..." I carefully chose my words. "The daughter of a scumbag. Neither she nor her father has good intentions, so just ignore them."Willow pursed her lips. "I can tell. She wants to seduce Daddy and make him her husband! She's a bad person!"Seeing his precious daughter so upset, Julian took the initiative to comfort her. "Don't worry, Daddy won't be with her. Daddy loves you and Mommy."Willow was barely reassured. "But if Daddy ignores her, she'll try to stir up trouble in front of Mommy. She wants to use this tactic to r

A whole bunch of beautiful women would have already come looking for him.After saying that, Julian drove off without hesitation.…Yasmin was left standing there, watching Julian's departing figure from afar. She stomped her feet in frustration and turned to Donald. "Dad! What do you think we should do? I followed your instructions exactly today, but Julian still refused to step forward and help me."Donald had a headache over the situation as well. He never expected that those people would install surveillance cameras inside the room, let alone have the incident recorded.He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. We'll have to seek help from someone else."Yasmin was confused. "Who?""Luna."Donald couldn't even be bothered to explain. He dialed Luna's number and reported everything that had happened. Then he said, "The plan was completely useless. Julian didn't fall for it at all.""Well, obviously. Do you people think Julian is an idiot? Do you really believe he'd

But Julian never showed up.Why?Yasmin couldn't understand.…After dinner, I took Willow with me to pick up Julian. Just as we arrived at the hotel entrance, Julian walked out.He looked at me and Willow, his expression as gentle as ever. "Was it tiring to make this special trip?"Willow immediately burrowed into Julian's arms. "Not at all! As long as I get to see Daddy, I'm happy."Julian picked up Willow and asked indulgently, "Is that so?"Willow nodded firmly.I got into the car, and Julian handed Willow to me.Just as we were about to drive off, Yasmin ran out, her eyes red. "Julian, do you know what I just went through?"Julian looked at her. "What?"Yasmin clenched the hem of her clothes. "I was almost assaulted at the banquet, and you remained indifferent the entire time."Then, what kind of reaction was he supposed to have?Julian didn't understand. "Someone has already taken care of the matter. If what you said is true, they will ensure you get justice. But no

Yasmin hadn't had a chance to respond yet.The man beside her immediately said, "Yes, call the police right now!"He had done a good deed and ended up being falsely accused.Now, he just wanted a fair and just resolution.Of course, Yasmin couldn't let them call the police. "For all I know, you might not even actually call the police."The event organizer asked, "Then what do you want us to do?""Bring Julian here!" Yasmin demanded, showing her true intention."Otherwise, no one else will do."The crowd fell silent.Initially, they might not have fully understood the situation. But after hearing that, they got the message.She didn't trust the police, but she trusted Julian?Julian was just a company CEO.It was obvious this was all aimed at Julian.…As the crowd whispered among themselves, Julian stood on the second floor, watching the spectacle unfold coldly.The organizer approached Julian and asked how he wanted to handle the situation."First, get a few well-respe

Julian followed the others upstairs.Downstairs, men in suits and women in elegant dresses held wine glasses, chatting and laughing. It made for a lively atmosphere.Only two people were an exception.Donald kept staring at the entrance. "Did you see Mr. Hughes?"Yasmin, bored but forcing herself to persist, replied, "No!"If it weren't for the fact that she liked Julian so much and that he was incredibly rich, she wouldn't have bothered wasting her time here.Donald looked at Yasmin. "Why don't we start acting now?"Yasmin rolled her eyes impatiently. "And if Julian doesn't show up, who am I acting for? That would just be a waste of effort."Hearing Yasmin say that, Donald realized he was being too impatient and forced himself to calm down.But the banquet had already started, and Julian was still nowhere to be seen. It irritated him, so he got up and walked to the entrance. "Excuse me, has Mr. Hughes arrived?" he asked the greeter.The greeter looked at Donald. "He's been h
