A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 133
Alice left the restaurant and hid off to the side, secretly watching the two of them. She noticed a hint of happiness in Julian's eyes as he stared at Aralyn.Could he like Aralyn?She gritted her teeth. No! Julian was hers! She wouldn't allow anyone to take him away from her! As her anger rose, she suddenly felt a chill wash over her. Alice looked toward Julian, who had clearly noticed her presence, as he was now staring in her direction.The smile on his face had vanished, replaced by coldness and danger.A sense of panic surged within Alice. She quickly turned around, walking a few steps forward before confirming that she had moved out of Julian's line of sight. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.She quickly took out her phone and called Amber. "I've been doing what you asked. I've been trying to create accidental encounters outside the company every day, but your son still ignores me!""A woman has to be patient when pursuing a man," Amber advised."I want to be!

"He's a bit shy." Julian made up an excuse.After lunch, Julian and I returned to the office. He buried himself in work, while I continued drawing. Although my skills had improved significantly, I still hoped to speed up my process.If I could draw faster, I'd have more time to focus on other things.…When it was time for school to end, Julian and I arrived at the kindergarten entrance. We had an important matter to address today.When Julian saw Cynthia come out, he immediately approached her. Aware of Julian's concerns, Cynthia reassured him that everything had been arranged and that he didn't need to worry that much. Julian maintained his serious expression, though it was evident he had relaxed a bit.Once most of the other parents had left, the children in Willow's class began coming out.Willow seemed to be in a good mood as she waved at us enthusiastically. I quickly raised my hand to wave back at her.Willow darted out of the school gate and threw herself into my arms

He had no one to blame but himself. Zach's tears rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably. He really missed Aralyn.…Luna arrived late. When she saw Julian and me standing at the entrance, her steps slowed noticeably.She hesitated before walking over to Cynthia. "Mason, let's go home.""Mom…" Mason hid behind Luna.Sensing something was wrong, Luna tried to leave with her son warily.Julian blocked her path. "Your son has been spreading rumors in class, leading the other kids to ostracize my daughter. How do you plan to resolve this?" Though there was no expression on Julian's face, he exuded an undeniable pressure.Luna felt Mason trembling behind her and patted his arm reassuringly, signaling that she was there for him.She scoffed, "And how can you be so sure it was my son?"I looked at Luna in surprise. Was she planning to deny it?"The children in class all said it was him," Cynthia replied gently.Luna turned to look at Mason, and the latter nodded reluctantly. Luna

I was a bit surprised, as I didn't think Julian had already thought of how to handle this situation if Luna refused to cooperate."But Daddy, being isolated by the whole class isn't a good feeling," Willow uttered softly.Julian was slightly taken aback. Was Willow feeling softhearted? Did she not want him to use the same method to retaliate against Mason?"Willow…" Julian spoke in hesitation."I think that's a great solution, Daddy. He'll only change his behavior when he experiences the same thing," Willow continued.Julian felt relieved. Although Willow was a kid, she wasn't naive.He patted Willow on the arm. "Trust Daddy to handle this in a way you'll be happy with.""Okay." Willow nodded, then looked out the window. "But Daddy, where are we going?"She knew this wasn't the way home. Julian smiled and replied, "We're going to visit your grandparents."At his words, Willow immediately burrowed into my arms. I could feel her small body trembling, which was strange. Didn'

She picked up the card and opened it. There were only two words on the card—"I'm sorry."Luna sat next to Shayne. "Why are you apologizing to me?""These past few days, I've been focusing all my attention on Aralyn, and I ended up neglecting you," Shayne said as he held Luna's hand."Luna, you're the woman I've loved my whole life. Even after I married Aralyn, my heart has always been with you. I feel so guilty…" Shayne paused."I should have cherished you and treated you better."Spencer had told him that if he focused all his attention on Luna, he might stop thinking about Aralyn. Shayne wanted to see if it would work.Luna shook her head. "It's okay. I don't mind, Shayne."As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks, which would evoke anyone's sympathy.Strangely, though, Shayne didn't feel any heartache as he watched her cry.Instead, Aralyn's face surfaced in his mind.When Aralyn cried, she wouldn't say a word. She would only look at him quietly.As that scene replayed

"No need. You stay home with Mama Luna and Mason. I can handle this myself," Zach refused firmly.…At the hospital, people came and went. Willow was visibly tense. She held my hand tightly, her eyes fixed straight ahead."Willow, don't you want to see your grandparents?" I asked gently.Willow answered without hesitation, "I do!"I could sense how tightly wound she was. Julian had already stopped at the door of the ward.I crouched down and gently patted Willow's back. "But you don't seem happy."Willow finally turned to look at me."Can you tell Mommy why that is?" I asked softly.Willow lowered her head."It's okay if you don't want to talk about it," I added with a smile."I'll tell you tonight when we get home," Willow whispered.I was glad she was willing to share. That way, I could better understand and help her open up. Ruffling her hair, I uttered, "Alright."Julian waited until we were finished before opening the door and stepping inside.Willow followed but sne

Since that day, Willow felt that whenever her grandparents saw her, they would be reminded of her parents' death. Terrified they might hate her, she dared not to speak to them anymore.The more I listened, the more my heart ached. "But Willow, accidents are beyond your control."Willow's eyes filled with tears."On the day of the accident, whether you were in the car or not… There was no way to prevent what happened. So, it's not your fault."I hugged her tightly. "You're a victim too."Willow burst into tears. "But… That day, Mom died trying to protect me.""Your mom loved you very much, Willow. You need to understand that even if she could go back, she would make the same choice." I smoothed her hair gently.Willow stopped crying and stared at me intently."Even in her final moments, she must have been grateful that her daughter survived."After some hesitation, Willow asked, "Really?""Yes. Even though she's no longer with you, she would want you to live well and not be

Hearing that, I realized that in the car earlier, I had focused only on explaining how the accident wasn't her fault. But I had forgotten to tell her what her grandparents truly thought.I spoke slowly and gently. "Do you remember what I told you earlier?"Willow nodded. "Of course.""Your grandparents were heartbroken because your mom was their daughter. And she left them forever. Just like…"I paused, stroking her cheek. "You were deeply hurt too, right?"Willow thought back to that day, her gaze lowering."But later, they must have also felt grateful that you survived."Willow sat up straight. "Really?""Yes." I nodded firmly.Willow spun in circles, her joy spilling over. "That's great!"As I watched her, I asked, "Now that you know your grandparents have always loved you and never blamed you, do you think you can talk to them?"Willow stopped spinning, her face serious as she pondered for a long moment.Then, she shook her head. "I don't think I can yet.""That's okay

Julian chuckled. "Reminds me of when Alice used to pester me every day."As his words fell, Alice said, "What are you two saying about me?"Her father had been invited to the banquet today. To broaden her horizons, he decided to bring her along.Alice had initially thought the event would be boring, but as soon as she arrived, she spotted Aralyn.She ran over and heard Julian mention her name before she could even greet them.Alice's intuition told her that Julian wasn't saying anything good about her.Though caught in the act, Julian didn't seem embarrassed. "Just using you as an example."Alice glared at Julian in dissatisfaction.Julian slowed his pace.When Alice eventually went off to find her father, he continued nonchalantly, "Back then, I felt the same way you do now. But I also understood one thing—if you don't find a way to resolve this issue, Shayne will keep bothering you."I really didn't want to deal with Shayne more than necessary. "Do you have any solution?"

I had just finished my morning tasks and was planning to take a short break when a group of people burst into the office.They walked up to me and turned to Julian, asking, "Mr. Hughes, is it her?"Julian nodded. "Yes.""What are they here for?" I asked in confusion."Didn't you agree to accompany me to a banquet this afternoon? They're here to style you," Julian explained, walking over to me.As soon as he finished speaking, a young woman stood in front of me. "Close your eyes," she said.Then, they began applying makeup to my face, brushing over my skin with soft brushes. Someone was also working on my hair behind me.Bored, I sat there quietly and made a mental note to avoid attending banquets in the future. Otherwise, I'd waste so much time every day like this.It was such a hindrance to making money.When the makeup was done, someone said gently, "Wake up."I opened my eyes.Before I knew it, someone handed me a dress and urged, "Hurry up and change."In a daze, I walk

Mark listened to Julian and immediately pinpointed the issue. "Could she be giving up on Shayne and trying to pursue you instead?"Julian frowned. "What?""You're better looking than Shayne, wealthier, and most importantly, you're a better person. She's about to be abandoned. Thinking about finding a better man isn't unreasonable, right?"Julian raised a finger and lightly tapped the table.Mark continued, "Otherwise, why else would she put on an act in front of Aralyn?"As Julian realized this, his expression turned colder. He immediately called Shayne.When Shayne picked up the call, he instinctively thought it was about work. "Mr. Hughes, are you calling to discuss our collaboration?""No. I just wanted you to tell Luna that I'm not interested in her."…Shayne stared at his phone. There could only be one reason why Julian was suddenly calling him about Luna—Luna had gone to Hughes Group to find Julian.And perhaps, she had even hinted at being interested in Julian.Other

I took a deep breath. "I've made my reasons clear! Luna, just because you're sick enough to love being a homewrecker and seduce married men doesn't mean everyone else is like you. Understand?"Tears welled up in Luna's eyes.Seeing her like this reminded me of when I returned home after my miscarriage.Even though it was her and her family who hurt me, her pitiful expression somehow made everything seem as though it was my fault.I took another deep breath."People say you're gentle and easy to talk to. But why are you so horrible to me? Is your gentleness only an act? Are you actually a fake?""So what if I am? I don't care why you're suddenly here, but let me make one thing clear—if you keep showing up in front of me, I'll post everything you've done online."Luna's tears began falling as if she were the victim.I continued, "That way, everyone will know about all the horrible things you did!"Her voice quivered slightly. "But I'm here to make peace with you. You're so cruel

"How do you feel about it?"I had been in shock just moments ago, but now I was starting to recover. "I used to think that even if a lot of money was spent promoting my work, it would be turned into physical books for sale at most. I never imagined that a comic could actually come to life."This experience made me feel delighted.Julian chuckled. "This is just the beginning."I nodded. "So, I'm really looking forward to it."As the two of us were talking, someone knocked on the door. Julian assumed it was an employee looking for him.Suppressing his smile, he said coldly, "Come in."The office door was pushed open, and Luna strode in.She glanced around, finding no one else present before walking to the desk area.Julian frowned.She was neither an employee nor a business partner of anyone in the company. How did she even get into the building?Julian suppressed the annoyance rising in his heart. Remembering what Alice and Mark said, he decided to take this opportunity to st

I looked at him."Just last night, it got two to three hundred thousand views! With the animation bringing in traffic, your followers on all platforms will likely grow rapidly and dramatically!" Mark exclaimed.After that, he urged me, "Take a look at the animation first and see if it meets your expectations."Hearing that, I opened the video platform and clicked on the animation. The voice actress for Willow had a tone completely different from Willow's, yet strangely, her way of speaking felt exactly the same.Even the voice actors for Julian and me had the same effect.I was a bit stunned.How did they manage that?When the video began, I felt that the storyline looked exactly like my comic. But once the characters started moving, it felt as if they had come to life.As the plot progressed, memories of the day I left Shayne's house suddenly came to mind.At that time, I thought I had lost everything. I assumed life would be hard for a while before it slowly improved.But

Pamela was puzzled. "You suddenly look so serious.""I just think Zach is working so hard, so I definitely can't lose to him!" Willow responded solemnly."Why do you need to compete with him?""Because he's the hardest-working student in our class," Willow replied unhesitatingly.Pamela felt something was off about what Willow said, but she couldn't pinpoint it.After thinking for a while, she said, "Then I'll learn from you both."Willow lifted her chin. "No problem! To make sure you don't slack off, I've decided to supervise you personally!"…At the company, I saw Amber standing at the door of the office and asked Julian, "Is she here for you? I'll go somewhere else, then. I don't want to interrupt you."Before Julian could respond, Amber had already spoken. "No, I'm here to see you! Aralyn, I've spent the past few days reflecting on my behavior, and I've realized it's my overthinking that led to me misunderstanding you."That's why I kept finding faults with you and alway

He shouldn't rush.Winning over Aralyn was even harder than he imagined, so he needed to slow himself down. After all, Aralyn was bound to end up with him.Julian's eyes reflected a strong desire to get Aralyn, but he suppressed it all too well.Julian's phone rang. He accepted the call and asked casually, "What is it?"Not knowing how to start, Amber hesitated and stumbled over her words for quite some time."I'm busy," Julian said.Though reluctantly, Amber finally spoke. "I've been thinking a lot these past few days, and I finally figured it out. Julian, you're an adult. As your mother, I really shouldn't have interfered in your life too much."Julian raised an eyebrow. "Did Sophia have a talk with you?""How did you know?" Amber asked in surprise."Though her work capabilities are average, she's always been open-minded. In this family, I think she's the only one who can persuade you."Amber laughed awkwardly but didn't deny his words. Julian continued, "If you want me t

Shayne's face darkened when he heard the iciness of Zach's sarcasm."You're still so young. How mature could you possibly be?""I know most of the things I need to know," replied Zach."You can't even earn your own money! No matter what, I'm the one who's covering your expenses," Shayne uttered, trying to reason with Zach. He wanted to use this to make Zach realize that he was still just a child.But instead, Zach asked, "Are you saying you don't want to give me money anymore?"Shayne didn't deny it. "If you let Noah bring you back, I'll continue to cover your expenses. But if you keep acting this way, I won't take care of you anymore! I won't spend my money on you any longer!""Alright, then. You can save your money and spend it on whoever you want," Zach responded coolly.After saying that, he hung up the phone.Shayne stared at his phone blankly.Zach set his phone aside, then went to his wardrobe and opened a hidden compartment.Inside were several bankbooks and a few p
