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

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

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

Did he have to tell Luna that he wouldn't separate from her and Mason in the future?No.Shayne had already decided he loved Aralyn. He couldn't waver anymore.Remaining silent for a long time, Shayne said, "You're right."Luna hadn't expected Shayne to respond like this. She was momentarily stunned and immediately sat up, staring at him in disbelief."So, should I still take him out tomorrow?" Shayne asked.Luna finally realized that all her previous tactics were useless against Shayne now. "Go ahead, or you'll disappoint him since you've already promised him."Shayne didn't refuse. "Alright."Luna helped Shayne find some clothes and then led him to the master bedroom. "Are you planning to sleep in the same room as me tonight, or…"Shayne shook his head. "I'll stay by myself. If Aralyn finds out, she'll definitely be upset."This was exactly what Luna wanted to hear; she didn't want to sleep with him either."Then, I'll sleep in the guest bedroom tonight. Get some rest."W

"You were by Mason's side, and you treated him well. He was happy."Luna lowered her eyes, her gaze incredibly gentle. "He thinks you're the best dad in the world."Shayne suddenly felt a bit guilty.He hadn't been a good husband and father."But I wasn't good to him," he replied softly.Luna felt it was time for Shayne to bond with Mason. "He doesn't think so. Why don't I call him over? You can ask him."Shayne thought that was a good idea. Kids understood other kids' feelings best. "Then I'll trouble you with that.""Alright." Luna got up and walked forward while holding her belly.Shayne sat where he was, feeling a bit anxious.Luna walked to Mason's bedroom door and knocked. "Mason, Dad's here!"Upon hearing that, Mason was thrilled and rushed out of his room. But when he saw Shayne not far away, his expression froze. Then, he turned to look at Luna.He had thought his biological dad was here.Luna patted Mason's back gently.Mason instantly understood what Luna meant

Thinking it was Yasmin again, Luna grew a bit annoyed. But she still forced a smile. "Why are you here again?"Shayne narrowed his eyes instinctively. "Again? Was someone else here just now?""Yasmin." Luna stepped aside to let Shayne in. Her belly was already quite large, and she had to support her waist while walking."She said she wants to pursue Julian and asked me for some advice."After saying that, she realized her tone toward Shayne had been a bit cold.Hence, she softened her voice and asked, "What are you doing here?""I want to ask you some questions about kids," Shayne answered."Kids? I know a lot about kids." Luna placed her hand on her belly, stroking it gently.As she spoke, she pulled Shayne's arm, making him sit beside her. "But before you ask me anything, come and listen first. Our baby should have a heartbeat by now."Shayne no longer felt love for Luna, but he couldn't deny that he still cared a lot about the baby.It was his baby, after all.He pressed

Maisy stared at Shayne.Shayne remained silent for a long time before saying, "No matter what, he's my son.""So, now you consider him your son? Too late! I'm warning you, the only reason you got to talk to him today is because I didn't notice you in time! If I catch you near Zach again, I won't let you off!" Maisy snapped.For Shayne, Zach was the only connection left between him and Aralyn.If he lost Zach too, then he would truly have nothing.Shayne looked straight at Maisy and said, "But do you have the right to interfere? You're his grandmother. I'm his father. It's already kind enough of me to let him live with you."Maisy almost laughed in anger. "Me? Interfering? First of all, you were the one who gave up custody of Zach. You were also the one who refused to give him a single cent! And now you're telling me this? Do I look like a pushover?"She had managed to carve out her own path after her divorce, despite Donald trying to blacklist her from the industry.That alone

Shayne followed behind Zach into the bedroom, only to discover that the entire room was covered with photos of Aralyn.Every wall was plastered with them.He stood there, stunned.On the desk, a small robot said in Aralyn's uniquely gentle voice, "You're home, sweetheart."Shayne looked over in disbelief.Zach sat in front of the robot, looking at it with a smile. "Yes, Mom, I'm home.""Welcome home," said the robot softly."But there's an unwelcome guest in the house," Zach said.The little robot immediately suggested, "Why don't we call someone else over to kick him out?"Zach looked at Shayne.His longing for Aralyn had only gotten better because of the robot and the countless photos surrounding him.But when he noticed Shayne was also staring at the robot, his expression darkened. "Did you hear that? You're not welcome here. Please leave."Shayne stood there, dazed. "Can I ask who gave you this robot?""No, you can't," Zach replied sternly.Shayne averted his gaze and

Yasmin narrowed her eyes.So, Luna had indeed pursued Julian.Yasmin found it oddly amusing.Since Luna was also interested in Julian, would she really help Yasmin sincerely?Yasmin wasn't sure, but she decided to put it aside for now.Either way, she would just stay vigilant.…Zach returned home, only to see Shayne standing at the door. He merely glanced at Shayne before looking away and pushing the door open to enter the house.Shayne followed behind him.As soon as Zach stepped inside, he intended to close the door.But Shayne stuck his hand in the doorway. "Can we talk?""About what? Last time we met, you hit me. What about this time?" Zach asked coldly.He didn't believe for a second that Shayne had come for anything good.After all, Shayne was an idiot who always believed whatever people told him.There was a high chance that this time, Shayne had been manipulated again and had come looking for trouble."I'm here to talk about your mother," Shayne muttered.At hi

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
