I didn't bother to hide it. "My ex-mother-in-law called me out of the blue to say that she has no respect for me."She reminded me to not even think about remarrying her son."Lilia found it hard to believe. "You're already divorced, and she still says these things to you? Doesn't she realize how ridiculous she sounds?""Who knows?" I shrugged. "Maybe she thinks I have a good temper and won't get angry…"I slowed down my speech. "That's why she came to me to throw her weight around and play the role of an elder."Lilia frowned. "His family is completely unreasonable. How did you put up with them?""Hmm…" I also found the question puzzling. "Perhaps it was because I loved Shayne too much at that moment. I thought that as long as I could be with him, it didn't matter even if I had to endure a little hardship."If I just bear with it, everything would get better."But then, I stopped loving Shayne."I can't be bothered to think about it anymore. I just want to keep my distance fr
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 277
Ever since Willow was able to speak normally with her grandparents and Pamela, she stopped speaking to the mirror.The rest of her time was dedicated to reading.After everything was said and done, it was just about time for bed.Once Willow was asleep, I quietly slipped out of her bedroom.When Julian saw me walk out, he made his way toward the balcony.I knew he must've had something to say to me, so I followed him.The balcony lights were on.Everything in the distance was shrouded by night which added a touch of mystery.I sat in the chair to enjoy the rare moment of peace.Julian sat down next to me. Since drinking coffee late at night could disrupt sleep, he had switched to plain water.His voice sounded cold. "Were you living a particularly miserable life before you divorced Shayne?"It was odd. Despite the lack of emotion in his tone, there was a sense of concern and worry in his words.I carefully chose my words. "At that time, I always thought that a married coupl

However, Shayne couldn't act on his impulses…All he could do was lean lifelessly against the car seat because he had lost his place.He could only watch as Julian and Aralyn closed the distance between them.Then, the ping of a WhatsApp notification rang out.Shayne thought it was another work-related matter. So, he picked up his phone and glanced at the screen.It was Julian who sent him a text."Jealous? The one moon-watching by her side now is me."Shayne hadn't expected Julian to taunt him. It was rather unbelievable. He looked up and locked eyes with Julian from afar.Shayne pressed his lips into a thin line and quickly typed a reply. "Aralyn and I were together for six years. We have a five-year-old kid…"Julian's response was instantaneous. "That's all in the past, Mr. Pearce.""Understand this. I am Aralyn's present and future."…Julian looked away after sending his message."Is there something over there?" I asked out of curiosity."It's nothing." Julian wore a

"Is it Luna Sider?"Julian's cold gaze was filled with disdain. "Even knowing full well that the person you love is Aralyn, you can be swayed to leave with a single word from Luna…"Losing Aralyn isn't a coincidence—it's your destiny."To be frank, Mr. Pearce, you don't deserve a woman as amazing as Aralyn."Shayne was driving when he caught sight of Julian's messages out of the corner of his eye. Anger flared within him, prompting him to call Julian.When Julian answered the phone, Shayne immediately lashed out. "Hah, if Aralyn knew how cold-hearted you are, do you think that she would still like you?""Oh?" Julian responded calmly."Luna's hurt," Shayne said through gritted teeth. "Going to check on her is entirely reasonable."If Aralyn knew about it, she would think I was kind-hearted!"The way Shayne spoke with complete confidence gave Julian a bad feeling.Back when Shayne and Aralyn were still married, did Shayne always leave in the middle of the night to be by Luna's

Once Julian was the only suitor left, he would finally have time to adjust his approach based on Aralyn's reactions.Julian was a patient man. He could slowly nurture a bond with Aralyn. After all, there was still a long way to go and he was not in a hurry."This way, my chances of success would be much higher," he continued.Gabriel studied Julian intently for a moment. "Aralyn's ex-husband wasn't a good man. We're all backing you up to keep him in check."But, what if someone better than you falls for her?"Julian turned to look at Gabriel.Instead of answering immediately, he thought about it carefully before responding. "Then, I'll strive to become the best man worthy of staying by her side."I believe I can provide Aralyn with the best life possible."I also believe I can love Aralyn as I do today even ten years from now."That was the answer Gabriel was hoping for. "You're confident. I like that."Satisfied, he said, "I hope that when your dream comes true, you'll still

It was another text message from Julian."If you're so worried about Luna, her injury must be really serious, right?"No matter how dumb Shayne was, he could feel Julian's hostility. "What are you trying to say?" he asked straightforwardly.Julian replied in an instant. "If it was Aralyn who left you time and time again to care for another man before your divorce, how would you feel?"Shayne didn't reply.Julian had guessed that Shayne would act this way, so he didn't mind his silence. He continued to send him another text message."You'd be mad just like Aralyn was back then. At first, she believed in her marriage. She believed you'd definitely choose her. Later on, she came to accept the fact that, in your heart, she wasn't as important as Luna. She then finally gave up on you completely."Shayne held his phone as he read Julian's text message. His eyes reddened.Julian still wasn't satisfied. He carried on typing."I don't know if you'd forgive Lyn if the same thing happe
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 282
Shayne froze. Spencer continued, "From what we know about Luna, her injury is probably not as serious as Aralyn's."After he said that, he didn't speak any further.Shayne's mind was a mess. The fear of losing Aralyn and his sense of security when he was by her made him absolutely certain that the one he loved was Aralyn.So, why couldn't he help but worry when he heard that Luna was injured? Was it really just as he thought? Did Luna exaggerate her condition?On the other hand, did Aralyn downplay her injuries no matter how severe they were because she was so independent?Shayne had a vague feeling that it wasn't true. There was another reason. However, he couldn't figure out what that reason was.The only thing he knew for sure was that he had treated Aralyn terribly....Julian sat alone on the balcony, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.He was unstoppable in the business world, every project and every step of progress was under his precise control.But when it came to r

I didn't know if it was because I was too tired from running or if there was some other reason. However, Julian always managed to spot issues in my form. I followed his instructions without complaint. He then continued correcting my other moves. I followed him and corrected myself accordingly. Only then did he look away. His eyes couldn't hide his amusement.Performing the moves correctly made the workout especially exhausting.Noticing how much I was sweating, Julian handed me a towel and asked, "I've been so strict with you. Is it upsetting?"I turned to look at him. "Of course not."Julian finally felt relieved. "That's good."I stared as he left, feeling curious.Willow tugged at my hand. "Mommy, let's go pick out my clothes!"She and Pamela had decided to wear purple. The teacher would guide them to play games and other activities at the kindergarten, so wearing a skirt would be a hindrance.After some thought, I helped her pick a light purple sports outfit.Willow happ

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

"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
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 757
"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
