A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 268
Upon thinking that, I turned to glance at Julian.Mark told me two days ago that the company planned to spend money to drive engagement. Had they already started?I thought about it earnestly.A few days ago, when each platform only gained a few hundred followers a day, we were already selling five thousand dolls across all platforms combined. Now, the amount of followers I gained per day was over ten times higher than it used to be. Did that mean the number of dolls sold would also skyrocket? What about my revenue? I silently calculated the numbers in my head. Five thousand dolls were over 50 thousand dollars. Ten thousand dolls would be over 100 thousand dollars.I slowly sat up straight. So, earning money after my comic became popular was easier than I thought.Someone knocked on the door. "Come in," Julian said coldly.Avery opened the door slightly. The moment she saw Julian, she thought of her countless interactions with him. In the end, she dared not enter his office
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 269
Avery didn't know how to answer Luna's question. After some thought, she replied, "So, what do you plan to do?""I'll have to figure it out myself," answered Luna as she furrowed her brows. "Anyway, Shayne's personality is easy to manipulate. Even if he's the one who mentioned breaking up with me, it shouldn't be a problem as long as I drag it out for a while.She had a long-term plan in mind. "Also, since you work at Hughes Group, there's a good chance you'll come into contact with men who have both status and wealth. Remember to keep an eye out for them, then send me their details. I'll carefully choose a suitable man for me. I'll go after them once I figure out their preferences."Luna wasn't about to foolishly be with Shayne and beg him to love her again. The person he loved was Aralyn. The harder she worked for his love, the more he hated her. Once Shayne decided to get rid of her, she wouldn't have any money to spend. As such, it was better to use this time to pursue anoth

"It's because I want to help you convince Aralyn," Luna said, painting herself in a good light. "I want to chat with her and see if she's willing to reconcile with you."Shayne didn't deny her. "Alright, I'll arrange a meeting with Julian."Luna felt even more disdain. He actually agreed. How heartless.Fortunately, she had never cared about Shayne as a person; she was only interested in his money. She had also gotten what she wanted."I'll wait for the good news," she replied."Alright."…Shayne contacted Julian's secretary but was informed that Julian had been extremely busy lately. He wouldn't have time to meet him.Listening to Mark's polite tone, Shayne responded calmly, "That's fine. Just schedule it for later. I'm not in a hurry."Mark asked, "Would you like me to contact you when Mr. Hughes becomes available?""Yes."Mark hung up the phone without hesitation upon receiving Shayne's response.Shayne hesitated for some time before he relayed to Luna that Julian didn'

When Shayne saw me, he hurried over and asked, "Why didn't you accept the flowers I sent you? Can you tell me the reason?"I thought I had made myself clear in our previous conversations, so I didn't expect him to shamelessly approach me.I replied impatiently, "No sane person would get back together with their ex. Shayne, the fact that I chose to divorce you means I will never reconcile with you. Besides, it's over between us. What's the point of sending me flowers now?"I looked at him and said slowly, "Since your dream has come true, and you've gotten together with Luna, then shouldn't you cherish her? Otherwise, you'll definitely regret it again if you lose her.""I know you're saying this for my sake, but believe me, I definitely won't regret it this time," Shayne quickly explained.I truly didn't know how to respond.After a long silence, I finally said, "But your persistence is very irritating. If you feel even the slightest bit of guilt toward me, then I hope you'll act a

"I don't know," I answered truthfully. "But it doesn't really matter. Julian, during those six years I was with him, he never truly treated me well. This year, it got even worse. He hurt me more than ever. "Now that I've finally managed to escape him, he suddenly claims to love me." I asked casually, "But a love like that? I don't need it anymore."Julian nodded. "That's true. If someone wants to make up for the hurt they've caused, the best way is…" He paused, then said, "To be good to her from the very beginning."I couldn't agree more. That day, Julian took me to a barbecue restaurant. He knew I wasn't in the best mood and needed a little release. He ordered two sets of meat. One spicy and one mild. I was a little surprised.Noticing my reaction, Julian smiled and explained, "I can't handle very spicy food, but I can take a little heat to keep you company."I laughed at his words. "Well, thank you, then.""You're welcome," he replied casually.He handed me the menu and waite

Julian was enjoying his lunch with a bearing of elegance.By the time we wrapped up, I was stuffed. Back at the office, I collapsed onto the couch, phone in hand, scrolling through the sales numbers for my merch. The sales for the plushies were climbing steadily, day by day. Other items were doing just as well. From zero orders, they had now grown into the hundreds.That was just from one platform. Curious, I checked the numbers on another platform and found the same results. They all had fantastic sales. It really was true. Hard work always paid off.Patting my full stomach, I waited until I felt less bloated before diving back into coloring my sketches. Time slipped by until Julian reminded me it was time to pick up Willow. Only then did I set my work aside.Heading downstairs, I stepped outside and saw that Shayne wasn't there. Relief washed over me as I climbed into the car.When we arrived at the kindergarten, we waited a couple more minutes before Willow appeared at the scho
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 274
How could a biological mother be so heartless as to abandon her own son? And Zach… He also thought it was understandable that Aralyn no longer cared about him.Noah looked at Lewis curiously. The two of them didn't dare to continue asking after all because Zach was so sad at the moment.After all, Zach was merely a child. His ability to endure pain was not strong. What if they asked, and Zach couldn't bear it and did something stupid? What should they do then?…Zach arrived near Julian's villa and was surprised to find that Shayne's car was parked not far away.Rather than immediately going to greet Shayne, he remained in his car and watched as Aralyn went for a run. This was their routine every day when they returned home.Despite this, Zach never seemed to tire of watching it. He was so fixated that he couldn't bring himself to even blink. Eventually, they finished their exercise and went back into the house.Finally, Zach tore his eyes away reluctantly. He proceeded to open

Charlotte said with a smile on her face. "Looks like our last chat didn't quite hit the mark. So, here I am, ready to pick up where we left off."Luna easily sensed the hostility in Charlotte's words. "Had you told me this a few days earlier, I may have been more inclined to listen. But… Shayne has already made it clear that he no longer wants me."Luna had already stated that she planned to end things with Shayne, so she had no reason to push aside her self-worth. "He's trying to reconcile with Aralyn."Without hesitation, Charlotte retorted, "Impossible!"Luna's expression held a faint smile as she spoke. "Your son was the one who told me about this. If you don’t believe it, you can always call Shayne and confirm with him."With that, she turned around and headed back into the house. Charlotte stood still, lost in thought, before pulling out her phone and dialing Shayne's number. "Luna mentioned that you want to marry Aralyn again?"He didn't know how to respond to her mother

Luna was just that attractive to men.She couldn't stop smiling at the thought."Then what kind of men do you think would like me?" Yasmin asked.Luna was momentarily stumped as she looked Yasmin up and down. Even though Yasmin was the same age as Aralyn, she lacked Aralyn's composure and calmness.Instead, she seemed a bit foolish.Luna found Yasmin somewhat annoying, but she didn't show it.She just smiled faintly and said, "Probably more mature and experienced men."Yasmin pressed her lips together. Those kinds of men were usually older, and she wasn't interested in them.Of course, Luna knew what Yasmin was thinking about but didn't show it. "I think most men aren't worthy of you, of course. Someone like Julian is just right.""That's right!" Yasmin agreed instantly.Luna nodded. "Yeah."Frowning, Yasmin muttered, "But the men who are worthy of me don't like me.""With diligence and persistence, anything is possible," Luna answered patiently.After finishing work, teas

Shayne had no other way to relieve his feelings now.Although drinking could make him forget Aralyn, he would feel like his heart had been hollowed out the very next day. It was unbearably miserable.Hence, he wanted to meet Zach. Zach was one of the few family members he had in this world.Once Shayne made the decision, he drove to Zach's place.…Luna never knew that pregnancy could be so exhausting. The animation project had just ended, but she had to design drafts for trendy toys now. She was dead tired.And now, someone was knocking on the door in the middle of the night.Luna opened the door.The person standing at the door was Yasmin, someone she had seen on TV.Recently, Luna had also learned a bit about Yasmin. Although she was rather fierce and seemed immature, she was about the same age as Aralyn."What are you here for?" Luna asked in surprise."To chat with you."Without even waiting for Luna to invite her in, Yasmin walked straight into the living room and s

Julian walked out, having just finished his shower. When he heard my conversation with Willow, he explained, "Your mommy is even more amazing than you think. Tens of millions is actually just a safe guess."Willow's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Wow, she can make even more?"Julian remained composed. "Yeah, these designer toys are selling really well, and they've also boosted sales of related merchandise and some comic books."Willow looked at me with even more admiration.Smiling, I uttered, "It's all thanks to your daddy."However, Julian was humble. "It's clearly because of your own hard work."I didn't deny it.Julian then asked, "The toys you designed yourself are also making a lot of money, right?""I heard from Mark that their sales are catching up to the designer toys. They've also made a huge profit. When the hype starts dying down, I'll release a new set of dolls. Based on my current inventory, I think I can keep the momentum going for at least another year," I s

"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
