"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

Zach opened the packages one by one, forcing a smile as he looked at the design that resembled Aralyn.Then, he stood up and started arranging the merchandise in his bedroom.While setting things up, Zach suddenly remembered that Aralyn had once taken a few sets of photos, possibly in this very bedroom.He searched for a long time before finally discovering the photos at the bottom of the wardrobe, though he had no idea when they'd been placed there.He carefully took them out and cleaned them before placing them in various corners of the house.Lying on the bed and clutching the blanket, he took deep breaths of its scent.He looked around at the photos of Aralyn scattered everywhere, and he felt as if he had returned to the time when she was still with him.For the first time in a long while, his mood lifted though he felt that compared to before, his life now was painful.When he thought about Shayne, he realized that Shayne was getting it worse than him.However, he didn't
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 326
"In the six years we were together, she poured her heart and soul into me. It hasn't even been long, and she's already holding and kissing another man!"The more Shayne spoke, the more overwhelmed he felt. His mind was filled with one single thought—it shouldn't be this way.Shayne knew it was his fault, but he habitually shifted all the blame onto Aralyn. Originally, he thought doing so would make him feel better, but it only made him feel more suffocated.His friends watched him cry uncontrollably. They wanted to tell him that the reason Aralyn gave up on him so quickly was because he treated her too poorly during the six years they were together.Aralyn had already given up on him a long time ago.She only held onto their relationship out of sentimentality and reluctance to abandon the marriage, thinking she could salvage it.Shayne was the one who insisted on getting close to Luna and had this ambiguous relationship with her that eventually shattered Aralyn's hope.It made h

Luna lowered her head, looking pitiful. "Right now, his heart is only with Aralyn."Once Charlotte confirmed that Luna was in the same boat as her, she said, "Leave Shayne to me. I'll help you figure it out."Luna asked excitedly, "Really? That's wonderful. Thank you, Mom!"…After leaving Luna's house and returning to her bedroom, Charlotte began considering how to persuade Shayne.Shayne had been like this since he was young—stubborn to the core. Once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.Therefore, she knew she needed help.After much thought, Charlotte concluded that Zach would be the key.After all, Zach was Shayne's biological son, and he loved Zach.If Zach spoke up for Luna, Shayne might at least agree to date her for Zach's sake.Charlotte dialed Zach's number, but no one answered.Charlotte's face darkened.He didn't even want to pick up her calls now, huh?Furious, Charlotte immediately called Shayne. "What's going on with Zach? Why isn't he answering my

"Yes, why?" I wasn't sure why she was asking, but I instinctively thought she might need money. "Oh, phew." Willow sighed in relief."Pamela said when her parents divorced, her mom left with nothing, and she didn't ask for anything. Her mom didn't even have a penny, and life was hard."Willow stared at me seriously. "Even though Daddy is a good person now, it doesn't mean he won't change in the future. If you and Daddy get divorced someday, you can't be foolish and leave without asking for anything, okay?"Her serious expression was so cute that I couldn't help but pinch her cheeks gently. "Then what should I do?"Willow confidently said, "Start saving some money now, and when the time comes, take some from him. Just don't live a miserable life."Seeing how much she cared for me, I was moved. "But your daddy and I aren't married yet."Not understanding such a complicated situation, Willow blinked. "But I call you Mommy and Daddy, so aren't we a family?"She tilted her head sli

Looking at her eager expression, Julian let out a chuckle. "Of course. Without your help, I'd never succeed.""Am I that important?" Willow asked, surprised.Julian ruffled her hair. "Yes, so never underestimate yourself, Willow."After reassuring Willow, he picked her up and walked out of the study. The three of us exercised together in the yard.Willow's condition was obviously improving more and more. She had become much more positive, cheerful, and confident. Even her appetite had increased a little.I watched her and realized that being with a child and watching them grow little by little really brought much happiness.…After dinner, Julian and I took Willow to school.Willow lay in my arms, her eyes stuck on me. "Mommy, I heard from Daddy that you're dating him. Is it true?"Julian and I pretended to be in a relationship to make everyone believe it. Only in this way would Shayne believe that I really had a boyfriend, and he would give up on me.As for kids, when they

Unfortunately, I gave birth to a son. This meant that the skills I had learned couldn't be used.Now, I had a daughter. I could tie her hair beautifully every day.I braided Willow's hair into a bun. She then looked in the mirror and saw her hair all tied up, revealing her cute and round face. She blinked and exclaimed, "Who's kid is this? She's too cute!" My mood couldn't help but become better upon seeing her compliment herself. I played along and said, "Probably our family's, right?"Willow turned to look at me. "You must be really lucky then."I had no idea where she picked it up, but her tone was like that of an adult. Even so, it had that childishness unique to children. It was especially cute.I couldn't resist and pinched her little cheeks. "That's right. People are definitely envious of me for having such a wonderful daughter."Willow nodded. "And all the other kids must be jealous of me too, for having such an amazing mom like you."She then added, "I love you, Mommy

Luna's eyes were filled with longing. If she managed to win Julian's heart, would he treat her that well? Would he protect her unconditionally? Would he...Luna bit her lip shyly.Would he spend all his money on her?...Once I returned to my bedroom, I turned on the desk lamp and sat at my desk. I drew for some time and only stopped once I was a little tired.I reached up to pull back the curtain. It was pitch black outside the window. The sound of insects came and went. The silence was comforting.I stood up and leaned against the window, taking in the view outside.I had been constantly harassed lately, and I couldn't help but feel irritable. However, when I forced myself to face these things, I suddenly realized something. The more annoyed I was, the more it proved that they had succeeded, right? As such, what I needed to do now was find a way to free myself from their influence. I started relaxing gradually.I now had a child who loved me and a husband who was willing
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 462
Logically, Luna should be asleep by now. Yet, she was still chatting energetically with Julian. However, Rowan was the one using Julian's account.Luna had been sowing discord between Julian and Aralyn right under his nose the whole time. Through the difference between Luna's attitudes toward him and Julian, he easily saw her true nature.Rowan turned off the screen. Even so, he had to admit that Luna was brilliant and knew how to play the long game. Although he had no money left, she was still willing to take the time and effort to deal with him.He had once naively believed that the reason Luna was willing to stay in touch with him was because she loved him and couldn't let go of him. That was why she kept reaching out to him on and off. Perhaps he was more important than money in her heart.Rowan chuckled. Pain welled up within him, making it hard to breathe. However, the truth was that Luna was only willing to spend time interacting with him because she wanted to secure the m

It was probably because it was nighttime and Luna's voice was soft that Shayne was uncharacteristically moved. "Don't worry. Even if Aralyn and I really reconcile, I won't ignore you and the child."Luna almost rolled her eyes as she thought, "If you take care of me and the child, how am I supposed to be with Julian?"Of course, she didn't say it out loud as she replied, "But if it really comes to that and you still keep in touch with me, Aralyn won't be happy. For your future, maybe it's better if you keep your distance from me.""What about the child?" Shayne wasn't about to give up his own child.Luna nearly blurted out that the child wasn't his, but she swallowed the words at the last moment. "If you want to see the child, you can come by occasionally."Shayne fell silent."But it's probably better if you don't visit. Otherwise, she'll get jealous and think you still care about me.""Give me some time to think it over," replied Shayne."Alright." Luna smiled in satisfacti

Shayne roughly understood what Luna meant but didn't show it. "Oh?""I want to invest all that money into my work. If the marketing is effective, then everyone across the country will know how much money you spent and how much effort you put into promoting my work. This way, you will have a better reputation."Aralyn would also realize how generous he could be to the people he cared about."How about 50 million?" Shayne raised the amount decisively.Luna's heart raced wildly. She had never imagined that she only needed to say a few words to make Shayne willing to add another 40 million.But she didn't rush to accept as a crazy idea flashed through her mind, making her heart nearly leap out of her chest. Cold sweat even formed on her forehead.She feared that if she stated the figure she had in mind, Shayne would think she was too greedy and refuse to give her anything.But she wanted to give it a shot.If Shayne agreed, she would have a fortune in her hands.Luna feigned nonch
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 459
At that time, he had been brimming with confidence, believing that Luna was his true love. He thought that successfully being with the person he had secretly admired for years would make his future as sweet as honey.But the reality was completely different from his fantasies.Shayne let out a helpless, bitter laugh.He could only maintain a certain distance from Luna as if getting even slightly closer would bring him discomfort.By the time he realized this, it was already too late to regret it.No…Shayne closed his eyes.He still had a chance.Julian also had a first love. When his first love reappeared in his life, Julian would undoubtedly abandon Aralyn for her.At that moment, Shayne could show up in front of Aralyn, and she would surely be moved by him.What he needed to do now was to occasionally show up in Aralyn's life, ensuring that she wouldn't forget him. This thought had surfaced countless times in Shayne's mind. But he didn't feel annoyed by it in the sligh

Zach smiled and explained, "Because I want to be ahead of the other kids. If I finish reviewing all the elementary school materials in advance, I won't feel so much pressure when I get to elementary school."These were things Daphne had told him, and he thought she made a lot of sense."While others are struggling to learn in elementary school, I'll already be preparing for middle school and high school. This way, when I actually get to middle and high school, things will be so much easier for me."While others are buried in homework, working hard to understand things, I'll already know everything and have plenty of time to play."Listening to Zach, Maisy couldn't help but feel that what he said made sense."You're growing up, Zach," she commented smilingly.Zach just smiled before waving to Maisy and walking toward his bedroom.Maisy watched his figure disappear."What a sensible child," she thought.It was a pity that Aralyn and Zach were no longer together. Otherwise, when

Zach lowered his head unconsciously.Maisy sighed, reaching out to tousle his soft hair. "Silly child, you need to remember that no matter what, I will always stand by your side."Zach met Maisy's gaze, and for a moment, he felt an overwhelming urge to cry.He nodded heavily. "Thank you, Granny. You're the best to me!"After saying that, Zach couldn't help but feel puzzled.Maisy treated him so well, so why had he been distant from her before?Was it because of Charlotte?Charlotte often said awful things to him, like how Aralyn and Maisy were from a poor family.She claimed the two of them couldn't earn money and just wanted to latch onto their family like parasites.But now Zach realized the flaws in Charlotte's words.He remembered that when Aralyn and Shayne first got together, Shayne wasn't wealthy either.It was only with Aralyn's support that Shayne made money slowly.Yet, after Shayne became successful, Charlotte seemed to forget the years of hardship she and Shayne

Shayne's heart felt unbearably heavy.Tears fell, one after another, hitting the ground.Shayne's vision blurred. He wiped his tears away, afraid he would lose sight of Aralyn.…Zach returned home.Maisy heard the sound of the door and immediately rushed to the entrance with a cheerful smile. "You're back." Looking at Maisy's bright, smiling face, Zach felt a wave of unfamiliar emotion.Ever since his parents divorced, no one had greeted him with such warmth.Zach was touched. Not wanting to disappoint Maisy, he replied, "Yes, I am."Maisy took Zach's backpack and sighed. "I prepared the mac and cheese; Daphne made the rest of the dishes. She's amazing at cooking. I was watching her the whole time. I don't know how, but her dishes just look more appetizing even though they're the same ingredients."Daphne Harper was Zach's new tutor. Lewis had resigned a while ago due to personal reasons.Zach loved living like this—being with family, where there wasn't always much to talk
