A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 315
What Luna said was somewhat reasonable.Though still frustrated, he said to Luna, "I misunderstood you. I'm sorry."Luna acted as if she were strong. "It's okay. As long as you understand my feelings, I'm satisfied," she responded, smiling.She looked as though she was hurt by Shayne's misunderstanding but was trying hard to hold it in.Although Shayne still didn't like her, seeing her silently give so much for him moved him.He looked at Luna and said seriously, "After your child is born, I will not only pay for the child's support, but I'll also cover part of your expenses."Luna looked at Shayne in surprise. He was willing to support her child and take care of her as well?It seemed her acting wasn't in vain.Luna was very pleased with today's outcome.After finishing the conversation with Luna, Shayne found a seat and sat down, watching Aralyn from a distance.Julian was sitting next to her, and it was clear that Julian's love for Aralyn was deep.In business, he was alw

"About four to five hundred thousand, I think?" Julian answered without hesitation.I frowned. "That's expensive. Don't you think it's wasteful to wear it just once?"Julian lifted his head to look into my eyes. "My girlfriend wore this dress on our first day together while attending a banquet with me. It's worth keeping this dress for the sentimental value."I stared at him for a long time before replying, "You've got a sense of humor."Julian stood up and walked to me. "I know when you were with Shayne, you were probably afraid to spend too much because he was starting his business and under financial pressure. You worried it might affect his company's operations, so you were always frugal.""But my company is much larger now, Lyn. Even if you spend more, I can afford to take care of you. You don't have to save money for me."As he spoke, he held my hand."But we're not actually a couple."Julian maintained his composure. "If we want others to believe we're dating, then our i

Willow nodded firmly. "Okay."…Zach stood off to the side, watching Aralyn's departing figure from a distance longingly.But this time, he held back the impulse to follow her.There were more important matters for Shayne to attend to. Zach got into the car and instructed Noah, "Take me to my dad's villa."Noah was a bit puzzled. "You're not going to follow your mom today?"Could it be that he was tired of her? If that were the case, then good for Zach."Because if Dad wants to control me, he definitely won't let me take my belongings with me. So, we have to act on it before he does. We'll move everything out. That way, by the time he tries to stop us, it'll already be too late."Zach reluctantly looked away. "Once we're done today, I can be with Mom again tomorrow.""But after breaking ties with your dad, what will you do if you run out of money?" Noah asked."My mom bought me some commercial properties. The annual rent is more than enough to support me and you guys, so you

I looked at her in surprise.Kids these days typically didn't like studying. But Willow was willing to learn."I want to study ahead of time so that when I start elementary school, I won't have to worry about falling behind," she stated calmly."Alright." Since she loved learning, I, of course, fully supported her. "I'll go to the bookstore tomorrow and see if they have the textbooks you need."Willow agreed cheerfully.Julian, who had been listening on the side, was also surprised. Something seemed to occur to him as he stood up and said to Willow, "Come with me."Though confused, Willow still followed him.Julian stopped on the third floor and opened a door.Willow's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the room filled with toys piled all over the floor."I bought these for you a few days ago but forgot to tell you," Julian said, unusually gentle.Crouching down, he added, "Take the time to enjoy them now.""All of these are for me?" Willow was still in shock. "Y

He knew lying wasn't right, but if he told Shayne the truth, he wouldn't be able to move everything out.If that happened, the shops and savings Aralyn left him would all slip through his fingers."I need to stay on an IV drip today," he added calmly.Shayne quickly asked, "Do you need me to come take care of you?"Zach refused, "No need. Noah and Mr. Sanderson are looking after me. You don't have to worry."After chatting briefly with Shayne, Zach found an excuse to end the call.Noah and Lewis helped load everything into the car.Zach's desk was placed in his bedroom. Once they finished packing up everything, Zach went into his bedroom and closed the door.He opened a hidden compartment, revealing a stash of gold bars.Beneath the gold bars were property deeds, including two or three residential properties and more than ten commercial properties.The rental income from these properties was deposited into a bank account every year.There was also a bank card with a signific

In my view, such an interaction was already intimate enough. "It should be convincing enough, right?"Julian didn't refute me but said thoughtfully, "Lyn, the cost of lying is that he'll keep pestering you."Suddenly, he felt Shayne's presence wasn't all too bad. After all, it gave him an excuse to take things further.I bit my lip.To be honest, I really didn't want to have any more contact with Shayne.I could only rely on Julian. "Then what should we do to make him believe us completely?"As soon as the words left my mouth, Julian pulled me toward him with force.I lost control of my balance and ended up sitting on his lap. Instinctively, I tried to get up, but Julian held me firmly in place."Lyn, I'm just demonstrating for you," he uttered in a captivating tone."Alright." My face heated uncontrollably as I tried to get up. "I get it now."However, Julian wouldn't let me go. "Why is your face so red? Didn't you do this with Shayne?"I shook my head. "You already know Sh

Julian supported Aralyn's slender waist, forcing her to continue kissing him.Aralyn's arms hung limply around Julian's neck.Even from a distance, Shayne could see how irresistibly alluring Aralyn looked at that moment.He had always believed that Julian and Aralyn's claim of being in a relationship was just a ploy to make him back off. But as he watched them talk and Aralyn sat on Julian's lap, which eventually led to them kissing passionately, a voice in his mind kept telling him that this was real. It wasn't an act at all.Shayne's eyes turned bloodshot, and his heart ached unbearably.He really had lost Aralyn. She would never forgive him again. She had a new life and a new lover.Shayne pulled out his phone and called a friend. "Have you found out what I asked you to investigate?"The other party sounded exasperated. "It hasn't even been a day, man! How could I have results so fast? Give me a little more time."Shayne could sense the frustration in the response but stil

"Julian, give the phone to Aralyn!" Shayne's anger was nearly impossible to conceal in his voice.Julian didn't do as he said, "She's right next to me. If you have something to say, just say it.""Aralyn, if you really have been physically intimate with him, then there's no going back between us!" Shayne shouted hastily."Is that so?" I said, lifting my head and kissing Julian.Julian looked at me in surprise.Smiling playfully, I said, "That's a good thing to me."Shayne felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, and he found it hard to breathe."Don't be impulsive! Aralyn, you're an adult. Just consider it my plea. Don't accept a man so casually."Julian raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Pearce, don't ruin my good time."With that, he hung up.I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. "He's really strange."He didn't love me, but he acted as if he truly cared about me.Julian stood up, maintaining distance from me. "He's the type who doesn't appreciate something wh

"I learned a lot of things today. Mason told me that your divorce from Rowan wasn't because Rowan's family went bankrupt," Shayne uttered slowly.Luna pushed Shayne away and looked at him. "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?""I'm sorry for misunderstanding you," he apologized.Luna didn't mind. "I wouldn't really call it a misunderstanding. Maybe I was too firm in my decision when I left you, which led you to misunderstand me."Shayne looked into Luna's eyes. "Aralyn said if I don't cherish you, I might regret it in the future. I gave it some thought, and I think she's right. So, from today onward, I want to cherish the days I spend with you."Luna smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Okay. But I've been busy with my career, so I might not have much time.""I'll help you," Shayne replied."Thank you," Luna said sincerely.Having been used to not having money for so long, Luna had developed the habit of saving. Now that she could earn her own money, she was thinking what she should

Shayne suddenly felt that Mason was incredibly smart, but he didn't dislike that kind of intelligence. "Okay."…Shayne dropped Mason off at kindergarten.Then, he drove to Willow's kindergarten. When he saw me about to get into the car, he quickly stepped in front of me. "Let's have a proper talk."I knew that if I didn't give him a chance to speak, he would keep blocking me here until I was willing to talk to him.To avoid wasting time, I decided to settle this quickly. "Alright, what do you want to say?"Shayne wanted to say a lot of things. But the moment he saw me, it was as if all those words got stuck in his throat. He couldn't say a single thing.In the end, he only managed to squeeze out, "Lately, I can't stop thinking about the days we were together."If he only wanted to chat casually or reminisce about the past, that would be a complete waste of my time."So what?"Shayne was used to my indifference, but it still hurt him a little. "Back when I pursued you, I trul

"Back then, Mommy had some savings and used all of it as our expenses. Daddy felt that we couldn't keep living like that, so he resigned from their company. Then, they came over and scolded Mommy."Mason's tone was full of sarcasm. "They said Mommy had instigated Daddy to quit. Mommy was really upset and cried at home secretly. But when Daddy came back, she still greeted him with a smile."Mommy only suffered all this injustice because she married Daddy, so when Mommy stayed quiet about it, I took the initiative to tell Daddy."He patted my head and told me he would handle it. Then, he went to the balcony. I overheard him telling Grandpa and Grandma to stop interfering in his life. He said that since he no longer worked for them and wasn't taking their money, he was already living independently."No one should have anything to say about his wife. That day, Grandpa and Grandma got really mad. Daddy just listened quietly and then hung up the phone. Back then, they were both under a l

"They'll bring that woman and her child into the house, then ask me if she and Daddy make a good match," Mason said.The more Mason spoke, the angrier he got. His cheeks puffed up unconsciously. "They want to set Daddy up with her and hope I'll help them, right? If I refuse, they'll just say I'm not as sensible as her son."Shayne felt that talking to a child about these things seemed pretty inappropriate..But then again, would anyone really be that outrageous?Just then, Mason's phone rang again.He answered and asked, "Do you need something?""Yes!" the two elders replied in unison."Your daddy hasn't been in touch with us lately. Do you know where he is?""No," Mason replied without hesitation.Even if he did know, he wouldn't tell them."When Mommy and I moved out, you said you hoped we would never come back and that you wouldn't contact us. What's going on today? Having regrets?"Mason hadn't planned to speak so harshly.But he really didn't want to have too much cont

Mason sat in the car, looking out the window. After a long time, he finally mustered the courage to turn back and look at Shayne. "Will you still get angry with Mommy in the future?"Shayne didn't understand why Mason suddenly brought this up, but he still answered politely, "I've never been angry with your mommy."Mason was confused. "Then why haven't you come to see us for so long?"Shayne casually made up an excuse. "Because I've been busy with work.""Oh, okay."Realizing he had misunderstood Shayne, Zach quickly apologized, "Sorry.""If I do have conflicts with your mommy in the future, what would you do?" Shayne asked."I wouldn't bother with you. Mommy treats me well," Mason said seriously."When I was very little, I always knew that Mommy really loved money. She always put money first, so when she and my daddy got divorced, I thought she wouldn't want me because raising me is really expensive."Mason's voice carried a trace of sadness. "But Mommy still chose to take me

Willow felt she had once again become the happiest child in the world, and her lips curled into a smile.Julian got up and followed behind us.After washing up, Willow pulled us along for a morning run. When we finished, we took a shower and had breakfast together.The food prepared by the chef at home suited our tastes perfectly.Willow ate in big bites, then started drinking her milk.Finally, Julian and I took her to school together.…Mason woke up in the morning.When he walked into the living room and saw Shayne still there, he didn't show any displeasure. Instead, he smiled brightly. "Dad, you really stayed!"Shayne felt deeply gratified. "That's right.""Take me to school today," Mason said eagerly."Most of my classmates have their parents drop them off, but I… It's always the driver who takes me to school. If this keeps up, they'll think I don't have parents."The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became. And by the end, he sounded pitiful.Shayne couldn't hel

Shayne was unwilling to give up and wanted to talk more. But whenever he tried, Aralyn would find an excuse to leave.Bitterness filled Shayne.He persisted day after day, treating Aralyn well bit by bit. After a long time, Aralyn was finally moved.She finally agreed to date him.But what happened after that?As their relationship deepened, he should have normally fallen in love with Aralyn and naturally stepped into marriage with her.But there was no such memory in Shayne's mind.Their relationship suddenly took a strange turn—Aralyn was the one pursuing him, while he was always avoiding her.Shayne frowned, seriously trying to recall what had happened.It was probably the day before he decided to forget about Luna and sincerely start a life with Aralyn when Luna called him.She said she was living a hard life and wanted to come back and reconcile with him.The smile on Shayne's face gradually turned bitter.At that time, Rowan was still incredibly wealthy. His family sh

The living room was spacious and bright.The food on the dining table was already cold.Even the candles had burned down completely.Aralyn sat quietly at the table. It was only when she heard his footsteps that she lifted her head and looked at him."Didn't you say you would come back to celebrate our anniversary with me? Why are you only back now?" she questioned.It was only then that Shayne realized he hadn't even told Aralyn where he had been.He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, honey. Something came up at work; I was swamped. I couldn't come back and be with you. I'm really sorry."At the time, Shayne had still been serious about maintaining this family.Aralyn stared straight at him, her eyes carrying a calmness as if she saw through everything. "Are you sure you were working? You know I don't like being lied to. If you're lying, you know what happens."For some reason, Shayne had suddenly chickened out. "I went to pick up a friend."Aralyn didn't show whether she belie

In the past, I would never have dared to imagine that a plush doll I casually designed could turn out so well."Wait a minute."A thought suddenly struck me, and I stared at Julian.Julian didn't understand why I had such an expression on my face."Since the animation can release an entire series of products, then can't my plush dolls also be made into smaller versions? Or maybe I could launch a whole line of merchandise like mugs, keychains, and so on?"Julian hadn't considered this before, but after hearing what I said, he replied, "That could work.""I'll tell Mark right away!" I exclaimed excitedly, about to sit up and grab my phone. But when I glanced at the time, I realized it was too late.Although Mark was dedicated to his work, it didn't seem right to bring this up so late at night.I had no choice but to suppress my excitement and lie back down. "I'll tell him tomorrow."Julian looked at me with deep affection. "Alright."He raised his hand and stroked my hair. "Ara
