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

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

"Let the driver pick me up from now on," Zach said.Shayne was puzzled. "Why?"Zach didn't plan to reveal his true thoughts. "I just think you have to spend a lot of money buying us gifts every day. So, it's better if you focus on working. Otherwise, you won't earn enough money."Shayne hadn't expected his son to be so thoughtful. He happily hugged Zach and kissed him on the cheek. "Alright."…On the way, I took out all the little dresses I had bought for Willow and showed them to her, one set after another.Willow's eyes widened in surprise, and the gloom she felt earlier disappeared instantly."Did you buy all these for me, Mommy?""Of course," I answered with a nod.Willow hugged the beautiful dresses and suddenly started crying.I hurriedly wiped away her tears. "You don't like them?""No! I just didn't expect you to buy me clothes, Mommy. I'm so happy," she said, her eyes red.I held her close. "From now on, I'll buy you more clothes after I get my salary."Willow im

Luna was just that attractive to men.She couldn't stop smiling at the thought."Then what kind of men do you think would like me?" Yasmin asked.Luna was momentarily stumped as she looked Yasmin up and down. Even though Yasmin was the same age as Aralyn, she lacked Aralyn's composure and calmness.Instead, she seemed a bit foolish.Luna found Yasmin somewhat annoying, but she didn't show it.She just smiled faintly and said, "Probably more mature and experienced men."Yasmin pressed her lips together. Those kinds of men were usually older, and she wasn't interested in them.Of course, Luna knew what Yasmin was thinking about but didn't show it. "I think most men aren't worthy of you, of course. Someone like Julian is just right.""That's right!" Yasmin agreed instantly.Luna nodded. "Yeah."Frowning, Yasmin muttered, "But the men who are worthy of me don't like me.""With diligence and persistence, anything is possible," Luna answered patiently.After finishing work, teas

Shayne had no other way to relieve his feelings now.Although drinking could make him forget Aralyn, he would feel like his heart had been hollowed out the very next day. It was unbearably miserable.Hence, he wanted to meet Zach. Zach was one of the few family members he had in this world.Once Shayne made the decision, he drove to Zach's place.…Luna never knew that pregnancy could be so exhausting. The animation project had just ended, but she had to design drafts for trendy toys now. She was dead tired.And now, someone was knocking on the door in the middle of the night.Luna opened the door.The person standing at the door was Yasmin, someone she had seen on TV.Recently, Luna had also learned a bit about Yasmin. Although she was rather fierce and seemed immature, she was about the same age as Aralyn."What are you here for?" Luna asked in surprise."To chat with you."Without even waiting for Luna to invite her in, Yasmin walked straight into the living room and s

Julian walked out, having just finished his shower. When he heard my conversation with Willow, he explained, "Your mommy is even more amazing than you think. Tens of millions is actually just a safe guess."Willow's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Wow, she can make even more?"Julian remained composed. "Yeah, these designer toys are selling really well, and they've also boosted sales of related merchandise and some comic books."Willow looked at me with even more admiration.Smiling, I uttered, "It's all thanks to your daddy."However, Julian was humble. "It's clearly because of your own hard work."I didn't deny it.Julian then asked, "The toys you designed yourself are also making a lot of money, right?""I heard from Mark that their sales are catching up to the designer toys. They've also made a huge profit. When the hype starts dying down, I'll release a new set of dolls. Based on my current inventory, I think I can keep the momentum going for at least another year," I s

"Alice doesn't know much, but these manufacturers definitely do. If you contact them and ask for a list, do you think they'll help you?" I asked.Mark hesitated for a moment. If everyone took advantage of this trend and increased production, they could make more money.And the more people knew about it and discussed it, the longer the hype would last, and the more money everyone could earn.Of course, they would be willing to introduce their peers.Once Mark understood this, he excitedly said, "Got it! I'll contact them right away!""Okay." My tone finally relaxed.…Mark was dedicated to this job. He proactively reached out to the factory owners. After explaining the pros and cons to them, he asked them to introduce other factory owners to him.Each of them was enthusiastic. Within just a few dozen minutes, he had already gotten at least ten phone numbers.He called them one by one, explaining his needs.To ease their concerns, he mentioned his referrers and emphasized that

Aralyn had always been the one to soothe them, including Charlotte.Shayne had now come to realize that Charlotte wasn't as great as he had once imagined.It was just that, when Aralyn was by his side, she had been afraid of affecting his work. So, no matter how much trouble Charlotte caused, Aralyn always covered for her.Yet, he refused to cherish the woman who had cared so much for him.Shayne took a deep breath, suddenly feeling exhausted."What's there to think about?" Charlotte asked."In all the years Aralyn was with me, the money she spent didn't even add up to what you both spend in a month, or even a week. Wait, even a day," Shayne said coldly.Charlotte felt that Shayne had become stingy. "But you're supposed to spend the money you make.""My son and wife didn't get to spend it. It all went to you." Shayne's voice was filled with self-mockery.Charlotte was a little annoyed. What did he mean by that?She had worked so hard to raise Shayne. It was only right that he

"Other people don't know the truth, so I can understand if they blame me. But Shayne knows, yet he still blames me!" Charlotte said.Luna sighed. "Don't let others sow discord between you. As for Shayne, he's still dreaming about getting back together with Aralyn. He's probably still hoping to have more children with her."But Aralyn no longer had any interest in Shayne.Luna understood this very well. If she were married to a man like Julian—gentle, rich, handsome, and loving—she wouldn't even consider someone like Shayne.Sure, Shayne was somewhat good-looking, but he was also stingy and emotionally unavailable.The contrast was just too brutal.If Aralyn broke up with Julian and got back together with Shayne, Luna would seriously question whether Aralyn had a mental illness.Charlotte, of course, didn't think her son had done anything wrong. Hence, in her mind, Aralyn was the one at fault."Aralyn must have been secretly contacting Shayne! Otherwise, why would he still be th

"That's right," Julian said.It seemed Donald coming here wasn't entirely in vain. At the very least, he had helped Willow learn something.Julian was extremely pleased.When Donald heard that, his face grew darker, and he tried to explain, "I didn't…"Julian had no interest in listening. After years of navigating the business world, he could tell a person's intentions the moment they spoke.Not wanting to waste time on Donald's nonsense, Julian uttered, "It's late. My daughter needs to sleep. You should leave."Donald was forced to swallow all the words he wanted to say.He stared at Julian in a daze for a long time. But in the end, he could only leave.Once he disappeared from the living room, Julian asked, "Can you guess why he went through all this trouble?""What else could it be? He wants you to think I'm a terrible person and ruin our relationship."Julian's voice grew colder. "If he were only trying to sabotage our relationship, I might call him clever. But he even pu

Mom should have fought a fair and just lawsuit and demanded more money from them.Donald remained silent, unable to say a word."Besides, Mom had a job at the beginning. Even after you two got married, she rarely asked you for money."Honestly, I always felt that my personality was similar to Mom's.Both of us were highly independent."Even after you made Mom a housewife, you rarely gave her money. She spent almost entirely from her own savings. So, can you tell me the 'good things' you've done for me?"Donald hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "I admit, when I was with your mom, I really didn't treat her well. But you wouldn't even exist if it weren't for me. I'm your elder! Even if you ignore everything else, just the fact that I gave you life means you should respect me!"I laughed. "If Mom wasn't with you, she would have been with someone else. And I would still have been born just the same. You're not exactly irreplaceable."Donald stared at me for a long tim

Shayne showed no emotion, yet it struck Charlotte like a bolt of lightning.Charlotte's lips moved. After a long time, she finally said, "I never expected things to turn out this way.""Not expecting it means you can wash your hands of responsibility?" Shayne mocked coldly.Charlotte didn't know what to say."No, you can't. Zach won't forgive you, and neither will I. You should just focus on the baby in Luna's belly and live your life," Shayne added.Before he could hang up, Charlotte hurriedly said, "But didn't you already forgive us before?""The fact that you can still reach me by phone is proof that I don't hate you."Charlotte let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that."It's just that, for now, I can't forget that I will never be able to have another child for the rest of my life."Charlotte's mood grew heavier.…Donald rushed to Julian's house in the middle of the night.When Julian saw him come in, he was a little surprised.Just as he was about to ask what Donald
