"You'll be cooking later, so let me prepare these. You'll be too tired otherwise," Julian said firmly, leaving no room for objection.I didn't resist and returned to the living room to work on my laptop.When Julian called for me after finishing his preparations, I stood at the stove and was surprised to find that he had already prepped everything, including the green onions, ginger, and garlic.Surprised, I glanced at Julian in the living room.I never expected that a man as accomplished in his career as Julian could also be so meticulous in domestic matters. Julian smiled at me, and my mood involuntarily brightened.Placing the chicken into the pressure cooker, I added green onions and ginger to eliminate any odor before covering the lid. Then, I set it on the stove to simmer.In Julian's kitchen, there were three stoves. I used the second stove to cook pork chops and the third stove to make barbecue ribs. Once the barbecue ribs were done, the chicken was nearly finished too.

But Zach never listened to her. Now that Aralyn had become someone else's mother and didn't want him anymore, he suddenly listened to her.Noah had originally planned to ask him what kind of oatmeal he wanted. But when he looked at Zach, he sighed and decided to order for him.While ordering for Zach, Noah also bought one for himself.Noah handed his phone to Zach. "Here, take a look. Do you need anything else?"Taking the phone, Zach opened WhatsApp and sent Shayne a message. "Dad, I'm having dinner outside. Noah's paying for it. Why don't you send some money over? I'm afraid his salary won't be enough for me."Within ten minutes after Noah sent the message, Shayne transferred 50 thousand.After receiving it, Zach thanked him and then returned the phone to Noah. "That's all. Thanks."Noah stared blankly at his phone for a while before starting the payment.Zach's eyes seemed to be stuck on the house.When would he be able to go inside and live under the same roof as Aralyn?"

After dinner, Willow's belly was so full it was rounded. Worried she might not digest her food properly, I accompanied her on a walk in the yard.Willow held my hand tightly. "Mommy, I feel so happy."I played along and asked, "Hmm?"Willow rubbed her little tummy. "I have a mommy who loves me. She cooks delicious meals for me. And after I finish eating, she even takes me for a walk."Walking in the yard and feeling the cool breeze blowing past, Willow felt completely content.I smiled and agreed, "That does sound pretty great."Dissatisfied at being ignored, Julian asked, "What about me?""Oh, and Daddy too!" Willow exclaimed.…The takeout Noah ordered only arrived now.Noah sat next to Zach and ate with him, worried Zach might feel alone."My mom used to treat me so well," Zach said, trying to show off."She was worried I wouldn't like the food at school, so she got up every morning to make me something delicious. Her cooking was amazing. Every time she cooked for me, I'

She didn't want to repeat herself. Otherwise, her parents might think she was being too naggy. But her grandparents hadn't heard it yet.Willow excitedly shared everything she had encountered recently with her grandparents, all at once.Her "robotic" grandparents responded enthusiastically. As Willow kept talking, it gradually became her bedtime, and she began to feel sleepy. Yet, her heart felt light and happy.She didn't know that talking to someone freely was such a pleasant experience.With a smile lingering on her face, Willow said, "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm going to sleep now. You two should rest well too.""Good night," replied Gabriel and Lilia in unison.Willow beamed. "Good night."She didn't go to sleep right away but instead dashed out of her room and stood by the railing. "Mommy, tuck me in tonight, please."I was working overtime on a drawing. But when I heard Willow's request, I immediately set aside my work and went upstairs to her. "Alright."Willow lay in my a

"Yes," Gabriel responded quickly.Willow carried the dolls to the bathroom and placed them on the small desk nearby. Stepping on the stool, she looked at her reflection in the mirror. Then, she began her practice."Hello, I'm Willow. What's your name?"…After finishing her speaking practice, Willow didn't forget to inform her grandparents, "I'm done with my speaking practice! Next up is the reading practice."She picked up a storybook and began reading earnestly and loudly. After finishing a short story, she finally put down the book."Willow."Hearing Aralyn's voice, Willow placed the dolls on the bed. "I'm going for a run now. Bye, Grandpa and Grandma!""Bye!"Willow opened the door. "Mommy!"…I was standing by the railing. When I heard her voice, I turned around. "Let's go. It's time to exercise."Willow jogged to my side. "Okay!"The morning exercise followed the same plan as Friday's. It was clear that Willow's stamina had improved significantly.She ran a full m

Gabriel and Lilia were reluctant to part with her. "Study well, Willow."Willow patted her chest, earnestly promising, "I will! To be a smart child, I have to gain more knowledge!"The elders couldn't help but chuckle.…I watched as Willow came rushing down the stairs with her backpack. "What do you want for breakfast?"Willow thought seriously for a long time before finally saying, "Oatmeal.""Alright." I served Willow a bowl of oatmeal, and she ate it in one go.She handed me the bowl. "Another bowl, please!"I smiled and said, "Okay."Willow hadn't always had a big appetite. But even since she started her exercises, her food intake had gradually increased, and her energy had improved.I was pleased.After all of us finished eating, Julian and I drove her to the kindergarten.…Just as we arrived at the kindergarten gate, we saw Pamela standing inside the school, looking in our direction eagerly.As her mother had time to care for her now, she looked different. Now s

"Yeah." Shayne had been confused lately.Everyone around him had been saying he loved Luna. Since that was the case, he chose to believe them. Shayne had already decided to settle down and live well with Luna. "I will."Despite his decision, he still felt weird and suffocated being with Luna.Mason relaxed at his words.…When we arrived at the company, I had just opened my computer. I hadn't even started working yet when Alice pushed open the office door and rushed over to me. "Do you remember the Joanna I told you about last time?"Of course, I remembered. "The woman who accepted the roses from the stingy guy?""Yes! The stingy guy wants Joanna to help him pay back the money he owes his ex-girlfriend, but Joanna refused. Even though Joanna earns a lot, that's her money. Did he expect her to just do it? Does he think it's that easy?"I nodded. "Exactly."Alice pursed her lips, disgusted. "After being rejected, the stingy guy directly proposed breaking up with Joanna."I wa

Feeling acknowledged, Alice was in a better mood. She immediately got up from the couch and went back to work.After she left, I resumed drawing.I took two days off over the weekend, and I only worked a little at night when Willow was sleeping.This caused my current progress to fall behind significantly, so I needed to find a way to catch up.Julian walked up to me and asked, "Do you want me to hire an assistant for you?" I continued drawing. "No need. I can handle these things myself without any issues."…Julian didn't keep persuading Aralyn. Instead, he sat beside her and watched her. It was obvious she knew what she wanted. She had a clear goal in her mind, which was great.Julian chuckled. But there were also downsides—Aralyn had come to enjoy the beauty of being single and no longer wanted to get married.The difficulty of Julian pursuing Aralyn had increased significantly, but he didn't mind.Just then, someone knocked on the door."Come in," Julian said coldly.M

"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

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
