Alice rolled her eyes. "I'm absolutely flabbergasted. What a weirdo!" However, I was more concerned about something else. "Did your parents agree to it?"Alice responded proudly, "They respected my opinion. Since they knew I didn't like him, they turned him down on my behalf."Then, Julian's cold voice rose in the air. "You say that, but you'll be forced to marry him very soon."Alice had no idea why Julian would say something like that. "Why?"Julian responded calmly, "It's simple, really. Your father is gearing up to secure several projects, but he has been running into a brick wall at every turn."Alice shot to her feet, and Julian simply continued, "He's also struggling with the projects he has on his hands right now. "If I were in your shoes, I would've applied for some off days and worked on convincing them otherwise. Otherwise, your family is going to face bankruptcy very soon. "When that happens, the scumbag will be the only person who can help you. You might not wan

"Don't ask for a mile when you're already given an inch." Alice said awkwardly, "Fine, then."Julian handed my phone back to me and said casually, "I know you like Alice, but doting on her won't help her."Julian turned the phone to the loudspeaker mode earlier. So, I could hear everything they said to each other. I couldn't help but smile as I said, "Alright."Julian had insane working hours, to begin with. He would be in the company every day and watched as various people went in and out of his office, reporting work issues and letting him make decisions. Sometimes, Julian would have guests. Then, he would have to meet them and have business negotiations. It was true when Julian said that he couldn't really spare his private time for someone else's problems. For that matter, I didn't intend to add more burden to his shoulders as well. A mix of emotions flashed in Julian's eyes, but he got a hold of them eventually. …Once we arrived at the kindergarten entrance, I got o

Zach couldn't bear hearing anyone speak ill of Aralyn, but his health wasn't in great shape, so he didn't have the strength to argue back. Instead, he asked weakly, "What does this have to do with Mom?"Charlotte responded, "If Aralyn had stayed by your side to take care of you, you wouldn't be in this condition now."Without hesitation, Zach countered, "But it was Dad and I who hurt her. That's why she left us. Before we betrayed her, she always put me and Dad first. She worried about my sensitive stomach and made meals I could actually eat every day."Lowering his gaze, Zach muttered, "So, it's not her fault. It's mine."Charlotte couldn't stand how fiercely Zach defended Aralyn. "You're sick right now, and she hasn't even come to see you.""She doesn't know I'm unwell," Zach replied hoarsely. "Even if she did… After what Dad and I did to her… She has every right to hate us for the rest of her life. I don't expect her to forgive me or care about me anymore."Zach kept his head
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 295
How had Aralyn managed to endure all of that back then?Was it because she thought it was all trivial and not worth making a fuss over?Did she quietly bottle everything up, dealing with the negativity alone?After that, did she continue to greet them with warmth and tenderness when they came home?Shayne didn't know.He looked at Zach and said calmly, "I know you hate me right now, but you have to know that everything that I've done, is for your own good."Zach had heard this excuse too many times. He replied, "You took my mom away from me! How is that good for me?""Dad, I don't want anything else. I just want Mom!"Tears streamed down his face as he cried harder and harder until exhaustion overtook him, and he fell into a restless sleep.Shayne watched him silently for a moment before stepping forward. With a tenderness that belied his earlier words, he scooped Zach up in his arms, holding him close.His gaze softened as he looked at Zach, though his thoughts remained unre

Danny turned to look at Alice.Alice mouthed, "I'll explain later."Only then did Danny shift his focus back to the project, taking the initiative to ask questions.Julian patiently provided answers and addressed each issue.Danny quickly realized that every project he was working on had significant problems. His expression instantly turned solemn, and he asked, "Is there any way to fix this?""There is," Julian replied before laying out the solutions.Danny listened carefully, and the more he observed Julian, the more satisfied he became. Julian was young, capable, and resourceful. He seemed like the perfect candidate for a son-in-law.Ignoring Alice's earlier warning, Danny casually asked, "So, what do you think of my daughter?"Alice was exasperated. Hadn't she made it clear enough not to bring up her and Julian?Fearing a misunderstanding, she quickly interjected, "I must be a qualified employee in Mr. Hughes' eyes, right?"Alice tried to steer the conversation back on tr

Willow ran with ease, and Eric was very pleased. He then took us through basic exercises.By the time we finished, I was drenched in sweat.Julian asked Noah to take Eric home and then came over to me."What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"I shook my head and explained, "It's my period. I get tired more easily than usual.""Then you should rest," Willow said seriously, then tugged Julian toward the fridge. "Daddy, I heard peppermint tea helps. Can we make some for Mommy?"Julian, as indulgent as ever, replied, "Of course."Willow grabbed the ingredients and headed to the kitchen.Julian pulled out his phone and followed a video instruction as he prepared it.Leaning back on the couch, I watched the two of them and felt a sudden wave of gratitude. How lucky I was to have such a wonderful family.Once Julian finished making the tea, he poured it into a mug and brought it to me.Willow thoughtfully handed me a warm water bottle she'd already heated."Mommy, I heard putting t

Amber's allowance had been cut off, but she refused to accept it and called Sophia home.Sophia sat on the couch, casually grabbing an apple and biting into it. "Mom, what's the matter?""Julian refuses to give us any more money," Amber complained. "What do you think we should do?"Sophia rarely concerned herself with family matters, so she asked, "That's sudden. Why?"Amber's anger flared, and she grumbled, "It's all because of Aralyn! He suddenly called me the other day and said he liked her."Sophia frowned as she couldn't understand Amber's logic. "He likes her? Then just go along with it. Why stop him? He's not a child. He can take responsibility for his choices."Amber had plenty of reasons. "I looked into Aralyn. She has been married before and even has a kid! And Julian's never even dated before."Sophia countered, "As long as he's willing, that's all that matters. He's smart and has a good eye for people. If he's willing to be with Aralyn, it must mean her character che
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 299
Zach had no interest in Shayne's villa. The only thing he wanted was the house filled with memories of him and Aralyn.To his surprise, Shayne said, "When I bought that house, it was already under your name."Zach was stunned by the revelation. He blinked instinctively, processing the unexpected news.Shayne had always preferred to keep properties under his own name. Even during the divorce, very few assets were in Aralyn's name.Aralyn was deeply hurt by their relationship and hadn't wanted anything—she only wanted to leave them behind.The fact that the house was under Zach's name meant that Aralyn had fought for it.It dawned on Zach that, even without him knowing, Aralyn had always been looking out for him. His eyes teared up as he whispered, "Thank you, Dad."After ending the call, he turned to Noah and said seriously, "You can live with me, but you can't touch my mom's things. Can you promise me that?"Noah nodded earnestly. "I promise."With Noah's agreement, Zach final

"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

Sophia ate her snacks."Just like how Aralyn lost her baby, can you guarantee that this child will be born safe and sound?" Amber asked.Charlotte was momentarily speechless."If your son didn't get a vasectomy, he doesn't have to worry even if something happens to Luna's baby. He can still have children with other women. But once he gets a vasectomy, there's no hope at all."Charlotte's expression turned unpleasant.Amber went on, "If I were you, I wouldn't be running around right now. I'd stay home and guard this child.""Since you've disowned Zach, you wouldn't be angry if he changed his last name in the future, right?" Sophia asked.Charlotte blurted out without thinking, "He wouldn't dare!""He's not even part of your family anymore. Why would he be afraid of you?" Amber chuckled.Sophia nodded. "If I were him, I'd change my last name to my mom's."Amber looked at Sophia. "That makes sense."The two of them echoed each other's words, making Charlotte feel uneasy. She hu

Charlotte glanced at Sophia before finally speaking. "Do you know what happened to Aralyn before she divorced my son?"Amber shook her head. "No."Charlotte lowered her voice. "She was pregnant with my son's child, but she fell down the stairs."Shaking her head, she added, "They say she lost a lot of blood. At that time, Aralyn looked extremely miserable."Sophia's expression darkened even more. "So, you came to my house just to tell my mom how pitiful Aralyn was? In that case, you can leave now."In her opinion, Charlotte was inherently rude. Nothing good ever came out of her mouth.There was no need to deal with her. Sophia could just throw her out.Seeing Sophia about to drive her away, Charlotte quickly said, "Of course not! I just wanted to tell you both that Aralyn can't have children anymore! If you don't make Julian leave her, I can guarantee that your family will have no descendants in the future!"Amber paused.Even Sophia was stunned. In the eyes of the older gener

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have made enough money," I said.Yasmin sneered. "Do you think I believe you?""That's up to you." With that, I hung up.Yasmin stared at the phone screen, speechless.At that moment, Donald pushed the door open and walked in. "What did she just say to you?"Yasmin stared at Donald. "She said she can't be bothered to deal with you right now."Donald didn't mind at all. "She saw everything I did. It would be a problem if she could actually forgive me."Hearing that, Yasmin felt a bit less resentful. She asked, "What should we do next?"Donald spoke unhurriedly. "Do you know how Aralyn managed to marry Julian in the first place?"Yasmin shook her head. She spent all her time hanging out with friends, so she had no time to think about these things."Because of Julian's daughter, Willow," Donald replied.Yasmin looked at Donald."At first, it was because Willow wanted a mom, so Julian invited Aralyn to his home to be her mother. Later, as they spent time
