A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 317
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

Julian would definitely notice her more.Over time, she would be able to drive Aralyn away and become Julian's lover."I don't know," Shayne replied heavily.He didn't lie. "She was the one who pursued me. After we got together, she was great, and she treated me well. "If I didn't want to celebrate a holiday or give her a surprise, all I had to say was that I was busy with work or I didn't understand these things, and she would forgive me. She also took care of everything in my life."Shayne didn't know why, but whenever he talked about the past with Aralyn, he felt a heavy, uncomfortable ache in his heart.It hurt terribly.Luna almost rolled her eyes when she heard this.To put it nicely, he had found a wife.To put it harshly, she was his unpaid maid!No wonder when Aralyn gave up on Shayne, she did so decisively and resolutely. There was no shred of hesitation."All I know is that she used to love me and Zach the most," Shayne continued.…Willow and Pamela played ups

Pamela didn't want to get involved in this situation. After all, she was just a child. Even if she had the intention, she didn't have the ability to do anything about Andrew."Leave these matters to the adults," said Ximena.I stepped forward to help Ximena untie the ropes, then took out my phone to call the police. Meanwhile, Ximena called the property management office with a cold expression.After finishing beating Andrew up, Julian opened the bedroom door and dragged the limp Andrew out, tossing him onto the living room floor.Andrew remained defiant. "She's my ex-wife. Coming to see her is my right. Who are you to interfere?"The term "ex-wife" reminded Julian of Shayne, and he instinctively retorted, "Oh, so you're aware that she's your ex-wife and not your current wife. That means you have no right to come to her home or involve yourself in her life."Andrew glared at Julian warily. "Why are you so concerned about her? Are you secretly in love with her?""She's an emplo

Mark almost burst out laughing. "First of all, while the company doesn't promote the comic as much as Aralyn's, we're not too shabby with it either. They should meet your needs."He noticed Avery's eagerness to explain and raised a hand to signal her to stay calm. "Secondly, if the comic you're managing is really as amazing as you claim and can bring significant profits to the company, the company will naturally increase its promotional efforts later. You can rest assured about that."Avery was still dissatisfied.Mark continued, "Let me put it this way—when Aralyn's comic first started, the company didn't pay much attention to it either. She was the one who posted short storylines every day, gradually building up her readership."Avery, think about it carefully. Even the woman Mr. Hughes favors received this treatment. And you expect your author to receive a better promotion than her? Do you think that's realistic?" Mark looked at Avery's increasingly unpleasant expression, re

"Alright." Mark had no objections. After all, if the comics sold well and the print volume increased, not only would they recoup costs easily, but they would also make a substantial profit."And I have a really important question," said Julian. "Have you considered that if Lyn's comics really become a global hit, what the sales of merchandise would be like?"Mark was taken aback. He only knew it would be a lot, but he hadn't calculated the exact numbers.Julian didn't expect an exact figure from him and simply continued, "Right now, we only have one factory producing merchandise. Even with limited promotional efforts, it's already nearing the factory's production capacity."So, what happens when Lyn's work becomes a nationwide sensation? Will the factory's production keep up with the demand?"Mark shook his head. "No, it won't.""And that's without even considering a global breakout," Julian pointed out. Mark finally realized the severity of the situation. "So, what do you th

"Sure!" Zach said, realizing he hadn't been to Maisy's place in a long time."What would you like to eat? Grandma will make it for you," Maisy said smilingly.Zach wasn't picky anymore. As long as someone cooked for him and he didn't go hungry, he was happy."I'll love anything you make, Grandma."Maisy's heart melted at Zach's words. "Then Grandma will make your favorite dishes."Zach replied excitedly, "Okay!"…At the office, I sat down and replayed Mom's words in my mind.I felt so thankful that I didn't listen to her back then and instead resolved to go through with the divorce.Otherwise, even if Shayne had promised me he'd settled down, he'd still be with Luna secretly and eventually even force me to coexist with her peacefully.If it had come to that, I would've been immensely miserable.The corners of my lips lifted unconsciously.After leaving Shayne, I found a great job, earning lots of money every month. I had a daughter who loved and cared about me.And I also

Zach reluctantly decided to pretend that Aralyn had come to see him off.…I didn't bring anything for my mom because she was getting older, and I wasn't sure if she'd like what I picked. After thinking it over, I simply transferred her ten thousand dollars.Mom, confused, sent me a question mark.A small smile crept onto my face as I raised my hand to knock on the door."Who is it?" Mom asked, her voice lively.She opened the door and saw me standing there. "You finally decided to come back, huh?"She stepped aside to let me in."Yes," I replied as I walked into the living room.Julian followed behind me and sat down next to me.Mom looked at Julian with curiosity but chose not to say anything upon noticing my calm expression. She had more pressing concerns and took hold of my hand."Last time you came, you said you wanted to divorce Shayne. I've been busy and haven't had time to check in on you. How are things between you two now?"I knew she didn't want me to get a divor

Julian was practically at Willow's beck and call. Even if he was swamped with work, he would still make time. "Yes," he replied."Then can you come to the event with me and Mommy?""Of course," Julian answered warmly.…When Zach got up in the morning, he only remembered the event next week. He had to do a recitation with Willow.But now, Shayne was ignoring him, and Charlotte was focusing all her attention on Luna.When the time came, all his classmates would have their parents with them, except for him.Zach didn't want to be the only one left alone.After getting up, he saw that Lewis had already prepared breakfast.He took a bite. It wasn't as tasty as what Aralyn made, but he was still content. At least he had food to eat and wouldn't go hungry.Holding the plate, Zach finished every last bite of his meal. "We have a parent-child event next week. Can you two come?"Both Noah and Lewis knew Zach's situation and felt sorry for him, but they also had concerns."If we go,

I would rather use this time to relax than listen to annoying people say things that made me sick. Stunned, Shayne stood there, staring at the phone for a long time.Zach had said Aralyn was kind. And Shayne had naturally assumed that because of her kind-hearted nature, she wouldn't want to see him sad and that she would ultimately forgive him.But then he realized that was not the case. "What do I need to do for you to forgive me?""Nothing. We are over," I answered bluntly.After hanging up the phone, I lay down on the bed and pouted.I had blocked his number, and yet he still managed to contact me. How persistent.Unfortunately, his effort was misguided.Instead of thinking about this, I should now be thinking more about whether I should bring something when I go back to see Mom tomorrow and how to explain things to her so she wouldn't be angry. I placed my arm over my eyes.In Mom's eyes, I should never have gotten a divorce. But I didn't listen to her.She would surel

Luna looked down at her feet after hearing that and bit her lip. "When you're alone at home, it's inevitable to bump into things. I initially thought this was a small injury and shouldn't call you. But no one's with me, and I'm pregnant and have a child to take care of."As Luna spoke, her eyes brimmed with tears. She raised her hand to wipe them away. "I'm not even mobile, so I really had no other choice but to call you."She suddenly threw herself into Shayne's arms.Shayne instinctively wanted to push her away.Luna choked back her voice and said, "In a little while, you'll belong to Aralyn. I'll have to keep my distance from you by then, and I'll never be able to hold you like this again. So, now…"Luna raised her head, her teary eyes glistening. "Please don't reject me, okay?"Shayne looked at her face and wondered if Aralyn had been this helpless when he had just gotten together with him.He didn't know whether he wanted to atone for his past self and simply feel sorry for

"But after you became Willow's mom, all of that became your responsibility," Julian said softly.Laughing, I teased, "You pay me so much every month. If I didn't take care of anything, your money would've been wasted.""I don't think so, Lyn. Even if all you did was stay by Willow's side and help her get better, that alone would make it worth every penny."I froze. "Really?"Julian stepped forward and took my hand. "Yes."I looked up at him. "By the way, I want to visit my mom tomorrow.""Do you want me to go with you?"Perhaps because our relationship was now defined, the closeness we initially shared felt different. But the simple act of holding hands made me feel as if we were even closer than before. "Okay."…Luna sat at home, thinking about her situation repeatedly. Although Shayne claimed he was looking out for her by keeping her away from Julian, he hadn't made any effort to reach out to her.If this continued, the distance between her and Shayne would only grow, and

Andrew gritted his teeth but ultimately chose to leave.Looking at Andrew's retreating back, Pamela asked incredulously, "Did he really leave?"Eric chuckled. "Of course. People like him only bully the weak and fear the strong. As long as your fists are tougher than his, he'll back down."Pamela thought for a while before asking, "Then can I train in martial arts with Willow in the future?""Of course."Pamela clenched her fists. "I want him to fear me."Eric nodded approvingly. "That's the spirit."Ximena hadn't expected her troubles to be resolved so easily, but she still worried that Andrew might come back once Eric left. She took the initiative and prepared a bedroom for Eric. "Is it okay if you stay in this room tonight?"Eric was never picky about accommodations. "Yeah."Pamela closed the living room door.…Near the villa, a car was parked by the roadside.Zach sat in the car, his eyes filled with longing as he looked at Aralyn standing on the balcony.Aralyn had
