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

Julian thought for a long time before answering, "Not really.""Then can we wait until I finish these two days' worth of drawings?"Julian nodded. "Sure."With Julian's affirmative answer, I focused and worked until after 3:00 PM, finishing all the work I had fallen behind on.Stretching lazily, I started handling the tasks Julian had given me. I began with drawing Willow.She was undoubtedly the heroine of the comic.Perhaps because I favored Willow, the Willow I drew turned out delicate and cute. People would fall in love with her with one glance.After finishing the drawing, I was a bit torn as to who I should draw next.I turned my head to look at Julian, who was sitting at his desk, handling official matters. I hesitated for a while before walking up to him. "I just want to confirm. Who do the main characters of the comic refer to?""Our family of three," Julian answered without hesitation."Okay." I returned to my laptop and continued working.…Shayne was at the comp

"I believed it. Kelly even said that if Stephanie really wanted to break up with me, she'd move out of my place."Even though we weren't married and we were just dating, we were already living together. Kelly said if I used moving out as a threat, Stephanie would cave."The more Shayne listened, the more silent he became. How could Spencer be even dumber than he had been back then?But seeing his friend hurting, he didn't have the heart to rub salt in the wound.Shayne asked, "You didn't seriously believe what Kelly said, did you?""Yeah." Tears slid down Spencer's cheeks. "But before I even had the chance to threaten her, Stephanie had already packed up all her stuff and left me."That day I came home, full of confidence, thinking that as soon as I spoke up, she'd make up with me. But… I opened the door and saw that all the photos of us hanging on the wall had been taken down."The woman who used to wait for me at home with dinner ready was gone. Everything that belonged to her

"I didn't say anything before because I thought there was no point," Spencer said.Spencer wasn't stupid. If he couldn't even see through all of that, he had no business running a company. He just never took it seriously before.He figured Stephanie would just throw a small tantrum at most, and that would be it. He never thought it would lead to such serious consequences.He continued, "Did you really think I was that dumb? That I couldn't tell what you were doing?"Kelly stayed silent.Spencer couldn't be bothered to say anything more to her. He got in his car and drove away.He arrived at a bar, ordered a few bottles of liquor, and then called Shayne. "Are you free? Come find me. I'm in a bad mood."Shayne had just gotten home, planning to spend some time with his wife and kids. But hearing Spencer's tone, he immediately said, "Okay."He turned to Luna and said, "Spencer's looking for me. I'm heading out for a bit."Luna, exhausted from a full day of work, didn't feel like d

Kelly froze. "She's really willing to break up with you?"Spencer nodded. "She told me not to go looking for her anymore."As he spoke, it felt like needles were stabbing his heart.He had always been certain that Stephanie loved him. He had been so sure that she would never leave him.So, he had gotten arrogant, thinking no matter what he did, she would always forgive him.But he had forgotten that…Stephanie was human, too.She could get hurt, too.Spencer said, "She wasn't just throwing a tantrum. She thought it over carefully and decided she'd be better off without me."Seeing his pained expression, Kelly moved closer and pulled him into a hug."She really doesn't know how lucky she was," she said. "Meeting a guy as good as you and still letting you go? Isn't she scared someone else will swoop in and steal you away?"To Spencer, her words were like kicking him while he was down. "But I only like her. I don't want anyone else."Kelly knew that if she asked now, "What abo

Spencer asked, "Just because of one little argument?""In your eyes, maybe it was just a little argument," Stephanie said calmly. "But for me, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back. In this relationship, I was the one who always gave more."No matter what Kelly did, the one who ended up hurt was always me. You only had to take her side and blame me to settle everything. So, to you, it was always just small stuff."She continued, "Nobody wants to spend their whole life being wronged like that. I don't either. So, after that day, I really thought it through…"How much love do I still have left for you? Is it enough to keep tolerating you and her? The answer was no. I even realized at that moment that I didn't love you anymore."Forget tolerating both of you. Even just dealing with one of you felt unbearable. Then, I thought, since it's gotten to this point… We might as well break up."When Stephanie said this, her eyes carried a relaxed smile. "I just haven't figured ou

Shannon shook her head. "That's why I really don't think much of Luna. If it weren't for our son liking her…"Patrick understood how Shannon felt. "Honestly, we did wrong by Luna before. Once she's willing to come back, we should make it up to her as much as we can."Shannon was unwilling, but seeing Patrick insist, she could only mumble, "Fine, we'll do what you say.""Okay."…Hannah noticed that over the past few days, Patrick and Shannon hadn't contacted her at all, and she immediately found it strange.In the past, the two elders were very close to her son, almost seeing him every day. What was going on now?After putting her son to sleep, Hannah took the initiative and called Shannon. "Mrs. Cunningham..."Shannon frowned and glanced at Patrick, speaking in a low voice, "It's a call from Hannah."Patrick's face darkened almost instantly, but he forced himself to hold it in. "Don't tell her we went to see Rowan, and don't let on that we know the truth. If she wants to fool

Rowan shook his head. "If it were really that simple, that would be nice."Patrick didn't understand why Rowan said that.Rowan continued, "Before Luna and I divorced, she had already guessed you were lying, so she made it very clear to Mason…"If I chose to come back and help you, she would divorce me. If I stayed with her, she would continue living the hard life with me."Patrick hadn't expected the truth to be like this. His face turned even uglier. Shannon was also in pain.Rowan tilted his head up, staring at the ceiling. "But in the end, I was too scared the company would fall apart, so I chose to go back. To completely cut ties with me, she went and started dating Shayne."At first, Luna still had hope for him. After all, they had truly loved each other for so long.But over time, through all the back-and-forth, she probably realized he was never going to change, so she finally gave up completely.Recently, the comics she created have been doing very well. Because of tha

Rowan said, "Come on, I'll take you to eat."Patrick followed behind Rowan and asked, "Have you thought about what to do with Mason in the future?"Rowan didn't take the question seriously. "Why would I?""He's your only child. If you don't acknowledge him, you'll end our family line."Rowan didn't know why, but looking at the streetlights and the thinning crowd around him, he felt unusually calm. "Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"When they reached the restaurant, he handed the menu to his mother. "See what you want to eat."Shannon picked a light vegetarian dish and said, "We just didn't expect Hannah to lie to us!"Rowan crossed his legs and repeated her words. "You didn't expect Hannah to lie to you?"Patrick ordered two meat dishes before saying, "Exactly. Who would've thought she would dare lie about something like that?"Rowan stared at his father. "So, just because you said it, even if you had doubts, you really thought I cheated on her with Luna…"Shouldn't you ha

Willow stared at me in shock for a long time before finally asking, "You can really do that?"I nodded. "Yeah. As long as you want to, you can keep in touch with her as much as you want."Willow jumped up excitedly. "That's awesome!"Just then, there was an urgent matter at the company that needed Julian's attention. After taking the call, he happened to overhear my conversation with Willow.He immediately got an idea. "During summer break, if you want to hang out with Pamela every day, she might not have that much free time."Willow's smile disappeared instantly. She asked, "Then, what should I do?"He guided her, "Do you think there's an excuse that could make both of you improve and leave her mom no reason to say no?"She followed his lead and quickly figured it out. "Studying?"He didn't give it away directly. "Oh?""Daddy, how about you hire a tutor for me during summer break? I can get a head start on school! Then, I'll ask Pamela to join me. Her mom will definitely agre

Alice raised her voice and asked, "You two already broke up, and he's still coming around asking you to apologize?"Stephanie shrugged. "What else could it be? You don't think I'd made all that up just now, do you?"Alice had never thought that, but Spencer's behavior still struck her as outrageous. "Do you need me to help you?""No, it's fine." Stephanie had already moved on, so she needed to handle it herself. "I can deal with it."With that, she walked out of the hotel.Spencer saw her come out and quickly stepped in front of her. "Can we talk?"He expected Stephanie would agree, but she gave him a glance and asked, "What do we have to talk about?""I know you're upset because of her, but can you be the bigger person? If you just apologize to her, a lot of things can be smoothed over."She looked at him, confused. "Why should I be the bigger person?""Because you're my girlfriend!" He tried to persuade her.Hearing that, Stephanie couldn't help but laugh out loud. "It look
