I randomly pointed at letters for her. She answered quickly and accurately as she kept her hands behind her back. It wasn't until I finished pointing at everything I had taught her today that I realized she had managed to learn and memorize all the phonetics. Willow snuggled into my embrace. It was as if she was begging for praise. "What's wrong, Mommy? Was there a mistake?""Not at all!" I sincerely praised her. "You got everything right!"Willow blinked her eyes, surprised. "Am I that great?' I cupped her face with my hands and gently caressed her. "Of course."Willow smiled bashfully. She then picked up the textbook and sat on my lap. "Then let me check if I can sound them out."I sat beside her and watched her earnestly. "Alright."Willow leaned over the table, her chubby fingers pointing at the phonetics as she said them out haltingly. Once she was done, she strung them into a complete word and read it out loud.She was afraid that she read it wrongly, so she turned ba

The more Zach cried, the more upset he got. "I miss Mommy."Charlotte hugged him and suggested, "Why don't we call her and ask her to come and see you?"Zach sobbed as he replied, "She doesn't want me anymore."Charlotte was very unsatisfied. "You're her biological son no matter what people say. How could she be so heartless?"It was because he did something to hurt Aralyn. At first, he was still young and didn't know the consequences that would result from his actions. But recently, he felt hurt after seeing how Aralyn treated Willow so kindly while her attitude toward him was indifferent.He couldn't help but think of how upset Aralyn was when he hurt her that way.Charlotte was so angry that she started cussing Aralyn out.Zach tugged on the hem of her shirt and said, "Grandma, don't blame Mommy."Charlotte poked Zach on the forehead with her finger. "It has come to this, yet you are still protecting her?""I'm not." Zach knew that Charlotte wouldn't believe his words, so h

I wasn't tired yet, so I went upstairs to retrieve my laptop. I then started working seriously on the designs Julian's company needed.Upon seeing this, Julian went to his study to retrieve his laptop and began working on the documents he needed to handle.Since I already had an idea, completing the initial sketch only took me half an hour. However, I didn't think it was adequate. As such, I created three alternative drafts. Once everything was done, I let out a sigh of relief and looked at Julian who sat across from me."Once I'm done with the drafts, who should I send it to for review?" I asked.Julian got up and walked behind me. He leaned down and held my mouse, while the other hand rested on my keyboard. It felt as if he was wrapping me in his embrace.He said calmly, "First, log in to this website, upload your drafts, and then submit them."He used the mouse to complete the entire process. Then, he asked apologetically, "Was I overstepping?"He sounded so natural. If I sai

I reluctantly accepted the explanation. "Alright then."Julian chuckled softly.…Shayne opened his eyes. He didn't see Luna, who lay by his side over the past few days. His mood brightened instantly.He got up and went to Zach's room and knocked on the door. "It's time to wake up! I'm sending you to kindergarten today."There was no response.He opened the door and found the bedroom empty. Only then did he recall that Zach slept over at Charlotte's place.Shayne walked to the living room and sat down.It seemed that the house had changed ever since he'd divorced Aralyn. It was no longer warm. Instead, it was cold.…Today, the little girl arrived at kindergarten earlier than usual. We saw her standing at the gate when we dropped Willow off. She quickly waved at Willow.Willow didn't even say goodbye to us. She ran straight to the little girl's side.The little girl held her hand and talked to Willow as they walked. Willow, same as she did over the past few days, listened p

"Aralyn's promotional strategy has been finalized," reported Mark.He placed the folder before Julian. "Please take a look. Does anything need to be changed, Mr. Hughes."Having worked closely with Julian for years, Mark understood that anything involving Aralyn was of utmost importance to him. He thus needed to review it. Besides matters regarding Aralyn, nothing else was important.Mark always knew how to prioritize things.Julian took the folder. He had already reviewed the draft previously, and now, after the revisions, he couldn't find a single issue. "No," he replied, unexpectedly satisfied.Mark smiled and said, "Alright. Should I have them start promoting today?"Julian nodded. "Yeah."Upon receiving his approval, Mark left with the folder. He didn't stop and went straight to the game company. He shared with them the great news. "Our strategy has been approved!"Everyone unanimously cheered. "That's great!"Mark then said, "Everyone can start promoting according to t

Alice squinted as she considered Julian. Her expression was wary.She had planned not to think about those serious topics and wanted to go relax with Aralyn. However, Julian stopped them.Julian lifted his finger and gently tapped on the table in front of him. He calmly thought of how he should answer this question.Aralyn and Alice were now on good terms. As such, Aralyn would definitely be willing to eat with Alice. He also didn't have a suitable reason to object.The best outcome he could get was joining them.When he thought of that, he smiled faintly and said, "The both of you don't know which restaurants are good. Besides, you're both tight on money, so let me treat you both."Alice didn't hide her disdain, but after thinking it over, she realized Julian made a fair point. "Fine, then."Julian packed up his things and led the way.He stood in the elevator and looked at Alice.He honestly felt like Alice was interfering with his time alone with Aralyn. Alice noticed Julia

Alice grinned widely, revealing her pearly white teeth. She then helped add more food to my plate.Upon seeing this, Julian didn't want to be outdone. Soon, the dishes on the table grew noticeably emptier while the food on my plate increased. It soon became a small tower.Seeing that the two of them seemed to be competing, I sighed helplessly and asked, "Do you two have to build a tower on my plate?"Only then did Julian stop. However, Alice was still unsatisfied. She added two more pieces of meat to my plate.I laughed, baffled. "How am I supposed to finish all this?"Alice cheered me on. "I believe in you. You can do it!"I mercilessly shattered her dreams. "Even if you believe in me, I won't magically turn into a bottomless pit!"Julian said calmly, "You can refuse to eat what she has given you. It's fine if you only finish what I've given you."I couldn't believe that Julian, a mature man, had such a childish side. "I can't do that."After I clearly expressed my displeasur

Luna lifted her head as she spoke. Her teary eyes were focused on Shayne.Her right hand unconsciously rested on her belly as she continued, "Shayne, when I think about it carefully, it feels like you don't love me and the baby that much. Maybe I should just terminate the pregnancy."By the time she was done speaking, her voice sounded tearful.Shayne was a little impatient, but he didn't show it. He smiled and comforted her. "Of course not."He held her hand, suppressing the discomfort he felt from the physical contact. "Luna, you know I'm a man who's used to being straightforward. I'm not used to verbally expressing my love, but I'll take care of you and the children. So, don't overthink it. Just focus on resting at home." He pulled out a card and handed it to Luna as he spoke. "From now on, if you want anything, just buy it yourself."Luna stared at him in shock. She looked touched. "Are you really giving this to me?""Yes."The situation had escalated to this point, and

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
