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

Ever since Zach learned that Noah had spoken with Aralyn the previous day, he had become extremely dejected.Hoping to cheer him up, Noah handed his phone to Zach.Zach took it, glanced at the screen, and said without hesitation, "Buy it!"Noah helped him place the order. Only then did Zach's mood improve slightly. He got out of the car and walked into the kindergarten.Why didn't the teachers allow them to bring dolls to class? If he could, he would buy another plush doll of his mom and keep it at school. That way, his mom could always be with him whether he was at home or in kindergarten.…Julian was seated in the meeting room when he called Alice. "Come over for a moment. I have a work-related matter I'd like to discuss with you."Alice instantly panicked when she heard this. "Work?"Could it be that Julian thought she spent all her time gossiping in the office and wasn't dedicated to her job? Was he planning to fire her?Julian's tone was cold. "Yes."Alice's heart jumpe

As Julian listened to their discussion, he slowly understood what he should do."Not bad. What kind of reward do you want?" he asked blandly."A pay raise?" Alice asked without hesitation."Me too," Mark chimed in."Alright," Julian generously replied.…After I finished my morning tasks, I felt a little tired, so I leaned back on the couch to check the analytics for my accounts across different platforms.My follower count had increased significantly. Even the platform with the smallest follower count had surpassed 50 thousand followers. Meanwhile, the most-viewed video had reached 500 thousand views.I sat up in disbelief and quickly checked the income reports from all the platforms. After reviewing the final platform's numbers, I slumped heavily against the couch.Excluding affiliate sales, the pure revenue from views alone had exceeded ten thousand dollars.I looked up at the ceiling.Wouldn't I earn more money with the upcoming sales from plush dolls and other merchandi

Shayne recalled everything that happened between him and Aralyn. He suddenly realized all he could recall was her contributions and how she had moved him.On the other hand, all he did was rely on how much she liked him and fearlessly hurt her.Shayne poured himself a full glass of alcohol. He then tipped his head back and drank it all. Spencer stopped next to him and asked, "Did you figure it out?""There are still some matters at the office." Shayne was worried that his friend would know that he was actually such a terrible man if he said it out loud. As such, he awkwardly made an excuse to leave.Spencer watched him as he left. His other friends approached him, asking, "Why is he like that?""Probably because he realized he had never treated Aralyn right throughout their six years together," Spencer replied as he looked away expressionlessly.As Shayne treated her poorly, she had kindly tolerated him. She would forgive him unconditionally regardless of what he did. Sadly, he

Shayne was also wrong for being too cruel and merciless when he hurt Aralyn. Otherwise, they wouldn't be here today.…About half a mile south of the company was a street full of food vendors.Julian said he wanted to take a walk and get some exercise, so I walked there with him.From the entrance, I could see an endless street. I turned to look at Julian and asked, "What do you want to eat?"Julian wasn't too familiar with the food on the street. Hearing my question, he replied, "Hotdogs?"I nodded. "That works."There were various kinds of hotdogs. There were fried ones, spicy ones, and even some that were pre-cooked and served cold.Julian, who was dressed in a suit, stood in the crowd. He was tall and had a striking aura. It made him extremely eye-catching. He didn't seem like the type to eat street food.Everyone snuck glances at him, yet he seemed completely oblivious as he picked a sausage.I looked at the items he placed on his tray, nearly all of them were things I l

"That's a secret for now. You'll find out when the time comes," Mark said mysteriously.Once he was done with his report, he bade Julian farewell and left the office.Julian walked over to my side, turned to look at me, and asked, "Do you want to know what the good news he was talking about is?""I do, but I can probably guess what it is," I replied honestly.Julian smirked. "Oh?"I began my analysis. "Based on what I already know… Firstly, my interactions with him are limited. We only ever talk when it involves the comic. Secondly, it's good news, but it's limited by time."I stared at Julian and continued, "The company has probably come up with a new plan to promote my comic, ensuring it reaches a larger audience. This will cause a steep increase in merchandise sales, and I'll earn even more money."After finishing my analysis, I asked, "Am I right?""Yes," Julian agreed. "You're very smart.""Thank you."With that, I went back to coloring the drafts I had saved earlier. I

I gave a polite smile. "I almost forgot to ask—you specifically called me over. Is something wrong?"Charlotte asked, "I've heard people saying you don't like Shayne anymore."I calmly replied, "That's right."She slammed her hands on the table and stood up in anger. "What gives you the right to look down on him?""Isn't it obvious?" I asked.I then continued unhurriedly, "You saw everything he did to me. I don't recall a single thing that would make me want to continue liking him, do you?"With that, I stood up, intending to leave.Charlotte's anger instantly vanished. Seeing that she was about to leave, she quickly said, "Even if what he did was wrong, you can't just let go so quickly!"Her voice got louder as she spoke.I turned my head and looked at her. "Is six years a short amount of time?"How many six years does a person get in their lifetime?Charlotte snapped, "It's not short, but you've been together for so long. Who knows if you've been seeing someone else on the

You're welcome," Julian replied calmly.…Julian glanced back.Charlotte was staring in their direction.Julian looked away without changing his expression. First Shayne, now Charlotte.Lately, more and more troublemakers had been showing up at the company. It seemed he had to speak with the security team and have them tighten security measures.…Julian and I walked side by side. He looked at me and asked, "What did she want from you?""She didn't say," I replied honestly. "But she started by accusing me of being heartless and not loving her son anymore when I showed up. It seems that she probably hopes I'll get back together with Shayne."Julian asked, confused, "Didn't she use to like Luna a lot?"I nodded. "She did, but no matter how much she likes Luna, her son and grandson will always be her priority. Luna doesn't treat Zach well. It probably breaks her heart to see that, so now she's hoping I'll go back to take care of them, and let them keep mistreating me."I then

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

"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
