A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 182
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

Most importantly, I wanted to see Luna have her child more than anyone else. Although I no longer had any feelings for Shayne and saw him as a stranger, I couldn't deny that I've been quietly anticipating the day when I could personally witness the accomplice and the perpetrator who killed my child turn on each other like dogs fighting over scraps."We can choose a place with surveillance cameras," Luna insisted, trying hard to convince me. It was clear she was desperate to meet me. However, I was completely uninterested. "Surveillance cameras can malfunction."Seeing that I wouldn't be moved by any of her assurances, she laughed and said, "You're jealous of me. You're jealous that I'm with Shayne now, so you don't dare to meet me."Her tricks were very poor.I responded calmly, "Provocation won't work on me."Luna gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "I'm downstairs at Hughes Group right now. If you don't come down, I'll spill everything that happened at the Pearce family's h

Shayne was here to seek justice for Luna, so he naturally had no intention of hiding it. "Luna," he answered without hesitation.Julian didn't have the time to keep track of what happened online, but he could more or less guess what was happening. It was probably about Luna stirring up trouble for Aralyn online.However, it failed. Since Luna wasn't willing to accept her failure, she got Shayne to stand up for her. Julian crossed his long legs. There was an obvious sneer on his handsome face.Shayne took a deep breath. "Mr. Hughes, this matter has nothing to do with you. I don't want to take out my anger on the innocent, so please hand the phone to Aralyn.""She's my girlfriend," Julian replied, always quick to defend Aralyn. "Mr. Pearce, I've heard a bit about the feud between the two of them today."Shayne saw that Julian wasn't cooperating, so he asked, "So, you want to protect her?"Julian sneered. "Obviously. She wasn't in the wrong from the start. Wouldn't it make me

Everyone thought I made sense and began to criticize Luna. "What's wrong with her?""Was ruining someone else's marriage as a mistress wasn't enough for her? Now she's repeatedly stirring up trouble in the victim's comment section.""Is she nuts?"My mood gradually improved as I read everyone's comments.I lazily leaned back on the couch and calmly thought about Luna. She provoked me because she was jealous that I had so many fans who liked me, right? She was trying to incite my readers into betraying and hurting me.Her goal was to make me stop drawing, but life wasn't that simple. The more she wanted me to quit making comics, the more determined I was to continue. I was also determined to constantly improve the comic's quality. Whether it was the story or the art, I wanted to improve.Only then would more people like me, and Luna would become even more angry.I planned to use this approach to frustrate Luna and make her suffer before she gave birth. I considered it interes

Julian walked faster upon hearing that. Although Mark was very curious about the details, he understood that it was a private matter between Julian and Aralyn as a couple. It would be rude if he went over to eavesdrop on them. As such, he suppressed his curiosity and returned to his own office.…Julian pushed open the office door, walked over to me, and asked, "Are you feeling okay?""I'm feeling great." I then stared at him, confused. "Why do you ask?"He held my hand and said, "Mark told me someone was insulting you. I was worried you'd be upset..."I chuckled and replied, "Oh, you're talking about that. It's nothing—just something Luna stirred up. I resolved it easily and even dragged her down in the process. Now, more people are criticizing her than me."Julian's worry eased. "You're not angry?"I responded confidently, "Things have already reached this point. Getting angry won't solve the issue. It's better to take the opportunity to think about how to turn a crisis into
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 363
What disappointed Luna the most was that no matter how much she tried to stir things up, the fans only expressed doubt. They unanimously chose to demand an explanation from Aralyn.All Aralyn did was have a brief discussion with her in the comments, but it was as if the fans instantly understood her thoughts and continued to stand by her unconditionally.A hint of jealousy flashed in Luna's eyes.If the incidents that occurred after the marriage couldn't bring Aralyn down, then what about those that happened before the marriage?Luna smiled maliciously as she proceeded to upload a video filled with implications.In the video was a woman who, after going abroad, didn't break up with her boyfriend. Instead, another woman forcefully inserted herself into their relationship, causing the couple to part ways. Later, when the woman returned to the country, she rekindled her romance with her ex. However, the former mistress accused her of ruining her relationship.…The narrative shif

Although I didn't know who left the comment, I could sense that the person was deliberately steering the narrative. They were trying to make readers think I was at fault in this marriage.However, they used mutual affection as an excuse. Did Luna's actions not count as interfering in someone else's marriage? Did Shayne and Luna being together not qualify as infidelity?I didn't refute her. I replied calmly, "So, what you're saying is that once you're married if your husband gets involved with another woman, they'll have done nothing wrong as long as it's true love? That it's still right even if the man betrayed his marriage, and the woman hurt the man's wife with her selfish behavior?""Obviously," the other person replied in an instant.Upon reading this, I couldn't help but laugh derisively. I typed on my phone at a leisurely pace and replied, "By your logic, what's the point of marriage? Isn't marriage meant to bind two people together, ensuring mutual loyalty?""But don't you

"When she sees her boyfriend being intimate with someone else, she'll definitely question Julian. No matter how much Julian loves her, he won't be able to tolerate a shrew always confronting him hysterically."Luna revealed a triumphant smile. "Over time, their relationship will surely fall apart. I'll use this opportunity to take advantage and swoop in. So what if Julian is aloof and doesn't like to interact with people? In the end, he'll still fall for me easily."Avery smiled widely. "Why hasn't that day come yet? I can't wait any longer."…After ending her conversation with Luna, Avery turned on her computer. She created accounts on various platforms and began uploading Luna's work.Mark said he needed to see the results of Luna's comic, right? Once the comic was posted, it wouldn't take long before it attracted a large number of readers.She would then bring the concrete data to Mark and show him how good her judgment was and how poor his was for promoting Aralyn's utterly

Mark almost burst out laughing. "First of all, while the company doesn't promote the comic as much as Aralyn's, we're not too shabby with it either. They should meet your needs."He noticed Avery's eagerness to explain and raised a hand to signal her to stay calm. "Secondly, if the comic you're managing is really as amazing as you claim and can bring significant profits to the company, the company will naturally increase its promotional efforts later. You can rest assured about that."Avery was still dissatisfied.Mark continued, "Let me put it this way—when Aralyn's comic first started, the company didn't pay much attention to it either. She was the one who posted short storylines every day, gradually building up her readership."Avery, think about it carefully. Even the woman Mr. Hughes favors received this treatment. And you expect your author to receive a better promotion than her? Do you think that's realistic?" Mark looked at Avery's increasingly unpleasant expression, re

"Alright." Mark had no objections. After all, if the comics sold well and the print volume increased, not only would they recoup costs easily, but they would also make a substantial profit."And I have a really important question," said Julian. "Have you considered that if Lyn's comics really become a global hit, what the sales of merchandise would be like?"Mark was taken aback. He only knew it would be a lot, but he hadn't calculated the exact numbers.Julian didn't expect an exact figure from him and simply continued, "Right now, we only have one factory producing merchandise. Even with limited promotional efforts, it's already nearing the factory's production capacity."So, what happens when Lyn's work becomes a nationwide sensation? Will the factory's production keep up with the demand?"Mark shook his head. "No, it won't.""And that's without even considering a global breakout," Julian pointed out. Mark finally realized the severity of the situation. "So, what do you th

"Sure!" Zach said, realizing he hadn't been to Maisy's place in a long time."What would you like to eat? Grandma will make it for you," Maisy said smilingly.Zach wasn't picky anymore. As long as someone cooked for him and he didn't go hungry, he was happy."I'll love anything you make, Grandma."Maisy's heart melted at Zach's words. "Then Grandma will make your favorite dishes."Zach replied excitedly, "Okay!"…At the office, I sat down and replayed Mom's words in my mind.I felt so thankful that I didn't listen to her back then and instead resolved to go through with the divorce.Otherwise, even if Shayne had promised me he'd settled down, he'd still be with Luna secretly and eventually even force me to coexist with her peacefully.If it had come to that, I would've been immensely miserable.The corners of my lips lifted unconsciously.After leaving Shayne, I found a great job, earning lots of money every month. I had a daughter who loved and cared about me.And I also
