Chapter 109

Author: Walking on Clouds
"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

    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

    For the first time, Zach despised his own foolishness. Why did he have to wait until now to realize how amazing Aralyn was?"Can you forgive me?" he pleaded.…Watching his heart-wrenching sobs, I was surprised to find my own heart completely calm. "Does it matter if I forgive you or not?"Zach's crying came to an abrupt halt, and he stared at me in shock."No matter who it is, before doing anything, they should think carefully about the consequences because some mistakes can never be undone." "But I'm just a kid…" Zach wiped his tears, panicking."Kids also need to take responsibility for their choices," I replied calmly.Zach tried hard to stifle his sobs, but he couldn't stop himself."Hopefully, after experiencing all this, you'll think more carefully before making decisions in the future," I uttered slowly."Okay." Zach nodded, still gasping for breath between his tears.I glanced over at Julian, who stood nearby. "Let's go."Julian nodded. "Alright."…Shayne leane

    Shayne waited for Luna to respond, but when she didn't, his expression darkened slightly. He pressed further, "Did you hear me?""Yes," Luna replied half-heartedly, brushing him off.She had no interest in discussing anything related to Aralyn with Shayne, so she quickly changed the subject. "By the way, you have a gathering tonight. Don't forget to attend."The event was being hosted by one of his friends.Shayne hadn't been in the best of moods over the past few days. Thinking it might be a chance to relax and unwind with his friends, he smiled faintly."Are you coming?" he asked lightly.Luna shook her head and placed her hand over her stomach gently. "No. Going out and having too much fun might not be good for the baby, so you go by yourself."Shayne, considerate as always, said, "Make sure to take care of yourself."Luna shook her head and chuckled. "It's just for a little while. You don't need to worry about me that much."Even though she was only with Shayne for his mon

    Amber followed Julian into the office, unable to contain her frustration.…"My son is here to work. What are you doing here?" She was clearly targeting me, as her tone was dripping with malice.I had just placed my laptop down when I heard Amber's voice. Looking up, I calmly replied, "Designing."Julian knew his mother was just looking for a way to vent her displeasure. He had to intervene. "Mom," Julian said firmly."What?" Amber asked in dissatisfaction. "I need to work now," Julian emphasized each word.Amber understood immediately—Julian was trying to get her to leave. She shot me a fierce glare before storming off.As she stepped out of Hughes Group, a thought suddenly struck her.There were plenty of empty offices in the company. Why did Julian insist on sharing one with Aralyn?Could he… have feelings for Aralyn?…I stared at the laptop screen before turning to look at Julian.From the day of my divorce until now, both Julian and Willow had taken great care of me

    Shayne leaned closer to Luna and whispered, "Go and pick something first. I saw someone I know, so I'm going to go greet her. I'll pay when I come back."Luna, entirely focused on the gold jewelry in front of her, replied absentmindedly, "Alright."Shayne strode upstairs.…I was staring at the various ties in front of me, carefully considering which one to get.Julian's suits were typically a steady black. And there were plenty of tie options that matched black. Taking his personality into account, I eventually decided on a deep blue tie and was about to take it to the cashier."Pick another one. I don't like that color."I heard a voice behind me. When I turned around, I saw Shayne standing there, smiling.What he liked or didn't like had nothing to do with me. It wasn't as if I was buying for him.I gave him a puzzled glance before striding toward the cashier. "Excuse me, how much is this?"The cashier replied with a cheerful smile, "16 thousand."Though not cheap, it was

    I took two steps back, examining Julian.He stood there openly, letting me size him up. "Well?"His features were already sharp and striking. The black suit emphasized his aloof demeanor, while the deep blue tie added a touch of mystery and a faint melancholic air.I gave him a thumbs up. "Looks great."Julian seemed quite pleased as well. "I'm heading to a meeting to discuss a collaboration. Since you say it looks great, I won't change it, then?""Yeah," I agreed.When Julian was almost at the door, he suddenly stopped and turned back to me. "Mark should be coming to talk to you later. He'll inform you who will be overseeing your projects in the future."He had just mentioned yesterday that the recruitment process was almost complete. And today, someone was already assigned to liaise with me?I was surprised at how outstanding his company's efficiency was. "Alright." I nodded.After Julian left, I returned to my desk and focused on sketching out my drafts.…Julian sat in t

    Julian's cold gaze suddenly turned sharp. The trace of amusement in his voice disappeared entirely."Now I finally understand why she chose to leave you," he stated icily.That was the one thing Shayne could never figure out. Back then, Aralyn wasn't in a good situation. Logically, staying with him would have been the better choice, but she was adamant about divorcing him."Oh?" Shayne feigned indifference."I haven't known her for long, but I can already tell that she's not a woman who would disrespect herself. So, she must have her own reasons for betraying you."Shayne stared at Julian in shock."And yet, here you are, trying to badmouth her to me, someone she might have a better future with."Julian looked at Shayne piercingly. "Are you afraid of her ending up with me?"Shayne fell silent."Do you still love her?"Without thinking, Shayne shook his head. "How could I possibly love her? Don't joke around.""Good," Julian replied, clearly satisfied with the response.At h

    I opened WhatsApp."But make sure Mr. Hughes never sees this," Mark reminded."Don't worry. He doesn't check my phone," I replied unhesitatingly.With his goal achieved and assured there was no risk of Julian discovering the group chat, Mark let out a sigh of relief. Then, he left the office and returned to work.I continued sketching my drafts.Just then, I received a WhatsApp notification. I picked up my phone and saw a message from Avery, my editor."Who is this?"Only then did I realize I hadn't introduced myself yet. "I'm the author of the comic 'Daily Life with My Daughter.'"Avery replied instantly, "My schedule is packed now. It'll probably be a few days before I have time to look at your work. You'll have to wait."Since I was fully focused on drawing my drafts, I hadn't thought much about anything else."No problem. I'm not in a rush," I replied.…Luna was lounging in her living room when she received a call from Avery. Surprised, she asked, "What made you think

    Alice added, "Think about it. Joseph used to be the center of attention in our social circle. Now, look at him. Not a penny to his name. Guess he won't be acting so high and mighty anymore!" I reminded Alice not to celebrate too soon. "He might still be smug for a little while.""Why?" Alice asked, confused.I explained patiently, "Think about it. Joseph is still Mr. Wilson's most beloved son. Even if he publicly announced he wouldn't help pay off Joseph's debts, people will think it's just talk and that he still dotes on Joseph. "So, to curry favor with Mr. Wilson, some people will secretly try to butter up Joseph by giving him money to spend. They want Lucas to always remember them by using this method. So, when Mr. Wilson and Joseph have reconciled, Mr. Wilson will repay the favor with more business opportunities."Alice looked disgusted after hearing this. "No way. Is that really necessary?""For us, it doesn't seem necessary," I said with a smile. "But for others, it's pro

    I spoke slowly, "But when it comes to buying expensive luxury items and jewelry for Luna, you never said anything."Shayne clenched his fists. He wanted to retort but sadly discovered that everything Aralyn said seemed to make sense."They say that a man's money is where his love is. I think you still love Luna."Shayne stared at me and asked, "However, didn't I treat you well when we were together?"I thought carefully before answering, "Before dating Julian, I didn't know what was good or bad. I just thought that with you treating me this way, perhaps I might find someone worse if I went out looking. So, no matter how you hurt me, I endured it."Later, after I started officially dating Julian, I learned that when a man loves a woman, he would put all his heart into treating her well. He wouldn't be like you, using being a straight man as an excuse to avoid romantic gifts and dates. He would also pay attention to all the little details in life too."I stared at Shayne as I conti

    Shayne stared at me. He clearly didn't believe my answer.I said nonchalantly, "No matter what happens in the future, I'm already quite content with my life now. The money I earn every month is an amount I would never have dared to imagine in the past. Even if I were greedy and wanted more, what would be the point?"Shayne was stunned, clearly not expecting Aralyn to be so easily satisfied. Was it like this when he was together with Aralyn in the past? Would she have stayed by his side and spent her days with him as long as he gave her even the smallest bit of affection?This thought sent a sharp pain through his heart.It was only at that moment that Shayne finally realized what he had lost and missed—a woman who genuinely liked him and loved him.This love was very pure, with almost no impurities. He quickly explained, "But in the beginning, Luna wasn't like you. However, later on, she suddenly became better than you." "I expected that a long time ago." I understood that he

    Luna got straight to the point in her reply. "But I'm better than her. If you're with me, your life would be a lot less troublesome."Rowan saw the notification on WhatsApp. He picked up his phone, glanced at the message, and finally replied, "But I don't like mistresses."He didn't understand why the love he worked so hard to pursue was never his, to begin with. However, Julian wasn't interested in Luna at all, yet he effortlessly got Luna's affection.Luna stared at the words on the screen. It felt like a sharp stab to her heart. The pain was unbearable. However, she schooled her expression and forced a smile onto her face. "I'm not a mistress. I'm just courageously pursuing love."Rowan didn't know how to respond to Luna, so he decided to ignore her.Not getting a reply from Julian made Luna a little anxious. She asked, "Do you really like Aralyn that much?""But I don't see anything particularly attractive about her," she added.Rowan continued ignoring her.Luna continued

    Rowan saw the message from Luna. Instead of replying through Julian's account, he took out another phone and sent a message to Luna from his own WhatsApp account. "Luna, how are you doing now?"Luna didn't reply.Rowan felt as though his heart had been pierced by an arrow. It hurt immensely.At first, he had some delusions regarding Luna. He even reassured himself that she hadn't replied last time because she was pregnant and must have been so tired that she fell asleep immediately. She just so happened to be awake when she chatted with Julian.Now, he knew that wasn't the case. Luna simply didn't want to waste any more time on him.Rowan plastered on a bitter smile.He treated her so well, so why didn't she like him?Luna glanced at the message from Rowan and sneered. If she wasn't mistaken, Rowan had become a useless person who did nothing after their divorce. Even she was doing better than him now. She didn't want to waste her time on someone who wasn't worth it, but Julian

    When Luna opened her phone, she found her feed flooded with ads praising how amazing her work was.Many people were curious, so they clicked on her comics out of curiosity. Upon reading, they discovered that it was as claimed by the advertisements. The quality was pretty good.As such, more and more people started following her comic.Luna smiled, satisfied.She opened her storefront and noticed that the sales of her merchandise were skyrocketing.It seemed that the manager did have some skill. The audience drawn in by the promotions turned out to be genuine readers and not fake readers.Luna's mood improved.The response was already this impressive with just one million dollars invested in marketing. What if she spent two or three million dollars? Maybe even ten million dollars? Would her work blow up on the Internet?Just imagining everyone online talking about her comics made Luna uncontrollably excited. However, she worked hard to keep her excitement in check.Looking at t

    Avery said with a smile, "I've sent the numbers to your WhatsApp. Take a look."Luna opened her WhatsApp upon hearing that. When she saw the contacts, she smiled. "Are all of them there?""Yeah," Avery replied. She had put in effort and even included screenshots of all the products listed in Aralyn's storefront.Luna carefully cross-checked them and found that the contacts Avery sent could produce almost everything in Aralyn's shop. Only then did she smile and reply, "Thank you. Once I make money, I'll definitely remember your kindness."Avery wasn't expecting Luna to actually pay her, but she appreciated the sentiment. Playing along good-naturedly, she said, "Then I'll be waiting for you to strike it rich!""No problem," Luna replied. She could no longer be bothered with pleasantries anymore and added, "I'll contact them now and see how things go.""Alright."Luna hung up and immediately started calling the numbers Avery had sent, negotiating cooperation deals with each of th

    "I ended up in this situation because of you," said Avery. Since she had sacrificed a lot for Luna, she found it necessary to inform her about it.Hearing this, Luna felt a pang of guilt. "Then why don't you come work at my company?""It's fine," Avery declined. "Your comic company just started, and you're short on funds. If I joined, you'd have to pay me a salary. That's not practical."Luna didn't respondPuzzled, Avery asked, "But why are you suddenly asking about merchandise?"Luna took a deep breath. There was no one who could help her now. Moreover, she was pregnant, so bearing all the pressure alone was rather exhausting.She replied without hesitation, "Because I want to start producing merchandise now.""Then I can help you take a look at Aralyn's storefront to see what she's selling." Avery was currently free, so she could help Luna out a little and wouldn't mind doing so."Thank you," Luna said gratefully."I can also summarize details like materials and put every

    Shayne couldn't figure out the answer. His phone rang. He took the phone and glanced at it. It was Luna."What's the matter?" he asked.Luna lightly bit her lip. She didn't know how to start, but for the sake of her work's development, she decided to risk it. "Didn't you agree to transfer money to me so I can promote my work?"She was worried that the delay would cause complications and that Shayne would regret his words.As such, she contacted him early in the morning. She asked cautiously, "When will you transfer me the money?"Shayne was willing to help Luna promote her work mainly because he wanted Aralyn to see him treating Luna well. He wanted her to be jealous. It would have been best if she immediately regretted getting together with Julian and broke up with him to remarry Shayne. As such, he would definitely transfer the sum to Luna.Shayne answered without hesitation, "I'll have someone transfer it to you now."Luna finally let out a sigh of relief upon receiving
