A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 298
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

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

After Zach left, Charlotte still felt uneasy.Dialing Shayne's number, she asked, "Did Zach go back?""No, why?" Shayne replied calmly.Charlotte immediately became anxious. "He just said he was going back to stay there and packed up all his things from my place!"Worried that something might happen to Zach on the way, she quickly called him.Zach answered groggily.Charlotte asked, "Where are you?""At the old house." It wasn't really an old house. As of this year, it was less than five years old.But it was the earliest property the family had purchased, which was why Zach referred to it that way.Now assured of Zach's safety, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief. "Why didn't you go to where Dad is staying?""He's still working on building his relationship with Luna. I don't want to disturb him," Zach replied calmly."But you could've continued living with me," Charlotte said, puzzled."You're not that young anymore. Once Luna has her baby, you'll need to help take care of

Shayne's face darkened when he heard the iciness of Zach's sarcasm."You're still so young. How mature could you possibly be?""I know most of the things I need to know," replied Zach."You can't even earn your own money! No matter what, I'm the one who's covering your expenses," Shayne uttered, trying to reason with Zach. He wanted to use this to make Zach realize that he was still just a child.But instead, Zach asked, "Are you saying you don't want to give me money anymore?"Shayne didn't deny it. "If you let Noah bring you back, I'll continue to cover your expenses. But if you keep acting this way, I won't take care of you anymore! I won't spend my money on you any longer!""Alright, then. You can save your money and spend it on whoever you want," Zach responded coolly.After saying that, he hung up the phone.Shayne stared at his phone blankly.Zach set his phone aside, then went to his wardrobe and opened a hidden compartment.Inside were several bankbooks and a few p

He shouldn't rush.Winning over Aralyn was even harder than he imagined, so he needed to slow himself down. After all, Aralyn was bound to end up with him.Julian's eyes reflected a strong desire to get Aralyn, but he suppressed it all too well.Julian's phone rang. He accepted the call and asked casually, "What is it?"Not knowing how to start, Amber hesitated and stumbled over her words for quite some time."I'm busy," Julian said.Though reluctantly, Amber finally spoke. "I've been thinking a lot these past few days, and I finally figured it out. Julian, you're an adult. As your mother, I really shouldn't have interfered in your life too much."Julian raised an eyebrow. "Did Sophia have a talk with you?""How did you know?" Amber asked in surprise."Though her work capabilities are average, she's always been open-minded. In this family, I think she's the only one who can persuade you."Amber laughed awkwardly but didn't deny his words. Julian continued, "If you want me t

Pamela was puzzled. "You suddenly look so serious.""I just think Zach is working so hard, so I definitely can't lose to him!" Willow responded solemnly."Why do you need to compete with him?""Because he's the hardest-working student in our class," Willow replied unhesitatingly.Pamela felt something was off about what Willow said, but she couldn't pinpoint it.After thinking for a while, she said, "Then I'll learn from you both."Willow lifted her chin. "No problem! To make sure you don't slack off, I've decided to supervise you personally!"…At the company, I saw Amber standing at the door of the office and asked Julian, "Is she here for you? I'll go somewhere else, then. I don't want to interrupt you."Before Julian could respond, Amber had already spoken. "No, I'm here to see you! Aralyn, I've spent the past few days reflecting on my behavior, and I've realized it's my overthinking that led to me misunderstanding you."That's why I kept finding faults with you and alway

I looked at him."Just last night, it got two to three hundred thousand views! With the animation bringing in traffic, your followers on all platforms will likely grow rapidly and dramatically!" Mark exclaimed.After that, he urged me, "Take a look at the animation first and see if it meets your expectations."Hearing that, I opened the video platform and clicked on the animation. The voice actress for Willow had a tone completely different from Willow's, yet strangely, her way of speaking felt exactly the same.Even the voice actors for Julian and me had the same effect.I was a bit stunned.How did they manage that?When the video began, I felt that the storyline looked exactly like my comic. But once the characters started moving, it felt as if they had come to life.As the plot progressed, memories of the day I left Shayne's house suddenly came to mind.At that time, I thought I had lost everything. I assumed life would be hard for a while before it slowly improved.But

"How do you feel about it?"I had been in shock just moments ago, but now I was starting to recover. "I used to think that even if a lot of money was spent promoting my work, it would be turned into physical books for sale at most. I never imagined that a comic could actually come to life."This experience made me feel delighted.Julian chuckled. "This is just the beginning."I nodded. "So, I'm really looking forward to it."As the two of us were talking, someone knocked on the door. Julian assumed it was an employee looking for him.Suppressing his smile, he said coldly, "Come in."The office door was pushed open, and Luna strode in.She glanced around, finding no one else present before walking to the desk area.Julian frowned.She was neither an employee nor a business partner of anyone in the company. How did she even get into the building?Julian suppressed the annoyance rising in his heart. Remembering what Alice and Mark said, he decided to take this opportunity to st

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
