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

Ever since I decided to take on a side hustle, my days had been completely filled with drawing. As soon as I finished the sketches, I moved on to coloring. Once the work was complete, I uploaded it online.And the cycle would repeat.The office door opened.I instinctively looked up and saw Julian walk in.When I was about to get back to work, Julian stood in front of me and said, "I'm making coffee. What would you like to drink?"I thought about it seriously for a moment before replying, "Tea, please."Julian made me a cup of tea. Originally, he was planning to make himself a cup of coffee, but as he looked at the delicate porcelain cup with green tea leaves floating inside, he ended up making himself tea as well.He placed the tea on my left side and sat down next to me. "How's work going lately?"I picked up the tea and took a sip. The initial bitterness carried a refreshing aftertaste, soothing both my body and mind."I can't seem to find a single free moment all day. It's

"Aralyn's aware of this. Moreover, since you two were married for over six years, even if you don't have feelings for her, you'd still be possessive of her. To get you back with her, she would definitely go to any lengths to provoke you."First, she'd pretend to have really given up on you, then be kind to another man. Once you see that, you'll definitely feel uncomfortable. And then you'll think about her all the time."If you can't hold back and go find her, she will act close with another man," Spencer continued disdainfully.Shayne hadn't considered that everything Aralyn had done was to intentionally set a trap to get him back. His restless heart began to calm down.Smiling, he asked, "So, what should I do?""Ignore her. When she realizes all her tricks and schemes don't work on you, she'll come crying to you, begging to get back together," Spencer suggested.Shayne couldn't help but imagine Aralyn's crying face, and he chuckled. If it really came to that, considering they
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 120
Shayne thought about it and felt that Spencer made sense.He had originally planned to drink more before Aralyn arrived to make the act more convincing, but he still had a lot of work to do in the afternoon.Although Shayne felt a bit regretful that he wouldn't get to see Aralyn's reaction to him, he didn't really mind. After all, he already knew that Aralyn still loved him.Since had gotten the answer he wanted, he decided to head back to the company to handle his work.Shayne stood up and said goodbye to his friends.Once he left, everyone gathered around Spencer. "What was that about?"Spencer hesitated before sharing his thoughts, "I think Aralyn is not pretending. I think she really doesn't love Shayne anymore.""Then just tell Shayne!" the others said in dissatisfaction.Spencer shot them a glare. "Didn't you see his expression? He looked devastated when I said Aralyn doesn't love him, and he smiled when I mentioned she still loves him."Everyone exchanged glances."Has

Willow looked up at me in confusion."That way, you can ask your classmates what the reason is directly," I comforted her.Willow still seemed a bit down. "Actually, I wanted to ask them today, but I..."She hesitated, "I just couldn't bring myself to speak.""It's okay. You can't rush things. We'll take it slow. One day, you'll succeed."Willow nodded earnestly. "Yes!"Actually, what Willow didn't tell Aralyn was that she was envious that all her classmates had friends. She even secretly thought that it would be nice if she had friends too.If only… she could talk to others, then maybe she would make good friends.Julian came back and shook his head at me.I felt a little heavy-hearted. It seemed the teacher didn't know the reason either.I held Willow's hand and led her to the car. Willow's situation was special. She couldn't communicate with anyone other than Julian and me. Even if others bullied her, she wouldn't tell the teacher.When she started elementary or middle

As Julian's subordinate who followed Julian almost the entire way, he knew about Julian's capabilities clearly. In terms of work, he was unparalleled. No matter how difficult the problem was, Julian would always be the first to think of a solution.Mark admired Julian very much. He also always wondered what kind of woman Julian would like.Did he like pretty women, women with a good personality, or…However, he never thought that Julian would like a divorced woman who had a child. Therefore, when Julian first brought Aralyn to the company, he was somewhat dissatisfied with her. He didn't think she was worthy of Julian.But as he interacted with her more often, he suddenly realized that she seemed to be even better than he had imagined.She was very emotionally stable, and her mind wasn't clouded by nonsensical thoughts. She was also always firm. Most importantly, her problem-solving ability was also on par with Julian's. Moreover, she was very gentle yet powerful.Mark now vaguel

Lucas even said that Joseph was now an adult and could take responsibility for his own choices. Hence, from now on, whatever Joseph did would have nothing to do with Lucas. The latter would not interfere.After I read the public statement, my only feeling about this was that Lucas was deeply hurt this time. He had probably given up on Joseph.After Alice read the statement, she grinned from ear to ear. "He was abandoned by his biological father. His future is going to be miserable!""There's no need to wait," Mark said quietly. He then added, "Ever since he was kicked out of the house by his father, his days haven't been too good. Stella, who initially said that she loved him and was pregnant, suddenly broke up with him after he lost the Wilson family's backing. She even told him the pregnancy was fake and that she had been lying to him."Joseph didn't believe her. He grabbed her shoulders and said she had told him she loved him. Stella slapped his hands away in disgust and said

"Mr. Wilson's company was already having major financial problems. They almost went under. It was Mr. York and Mr. Hughes who returned all the money he had previously advanced to them. Only then did he get the chance to cover the current lack of funds," said Mark.He continued, "However, he didn't manage to hold on to the money for long as his precious son had borrowed more funds than he currently had on hand! If he really covered Joseph's debts, the family might actually go bankrupt."These events had just happened recently. Once Mark learned about it, he couldn't wait to share it with someone. Luckily for him, he found people to share it with.Alice asked in disbelief, "How is it possible for such a useless son to exist?"She had always thought she spent too much money herself and wasn't much help to her parents. That was already bad enough in her eyes. However, Joseph's actions blew her mind.Looking at herself in comparison, she thought she was pretty great. Mark sighed. "Ye

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
