A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 327
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

Furious that Zach had refused her, Charlotte raised her hand, preparing to hit him. "Why are you so thoughtless? I'm doing this for you!"The nearby teacher rushed over and pulled Zach away. "Why are you hitting a child?"Zach lay on the teacher's shoulder, looking at Charlotte. "Don't use me as an excuse. You're doing all this for yourself!"Charlotte tried to follow, but the teacher rushed into the kindergarten and closed the door.Zach thanked the teacher, saying that if it weren't for the teacher's timely intervention, he would have had to endure a beating today.The teacher smiled and said, "You are my student; it's my duty to protect you."…We arrived at the kindergarten, and Willow got out before leaning into Julian's ear. "You can do it, Daddy," she whispered.Julian answered seriously, "Don't worry. I will."Willow walked away, satisfied.Julian and I followed behind her.Julian took my hand as if it were natural to him. I raised an eyebrow at Julian, but I didn't

Shayne got up, tidied himself, and skipped breakfast before driving to block the entrance of Julian's underground garage.When Julian's car was blocked, he got out of the car and knocked on Shayne's car window.Shayne rolled down the window. "I need to talk to Aralyn."Julian smiled faintly and asked, "Didn't you two already finish whatever you needed to talk about?""This is between her and me! Have her come over!" Shayne's tone was firm.Julian didn't comply but stood still, watching Shayne impassively.Noticing he hadn't returned for a while, I got out of the car and walked over. "What's going on?"Shayne looked at me with a face full of grievance. "I want to talk to you, but he won't let me."I felt a headache coming on. "Shayne, are you serious?""On account of the fact that we were once married and that you truly loved me once, give me another chance. Can we have a moment alone?"I didn't answer."Just give me ten minutes," Shayne said again.I didn't respond directly

"If we're purely comparing material aspects, Julian treats me better. And he respects me more. He has no so-called 'first love' that he's hung up on, and he won't drag me into messy emotional entanglements.""What if he's like me and has a first love too? Maybe the person he loves just hasn't returned to the country yet," Shayne retorted. That had nothing to do with me.But I couldn't say that out loud, so I was struggling to come up with a response."Can you guarantee that when the person he truly loves comes back, he'll handle things better than I did?""Well, here's the question." Julian sat down beside me." Mr. Pearce, I'd also like to take this opportunity to ask you—who exactly is this person I supposedly truly love?"I was glad that he followed me. Otherwise, if Shayne kept spewing nonsense unchecked, his pursuit of me would undoubtedly become even more difficult.Shayne was stunned by the question.Julian's voice turned icy. "I can understand the pain of losing someone

Hearing the familiar voice, I turned toward the source of the sound.Charlotte was standing outside the fence, glaring at me viciously. "You really have no shame, do you? You'll stoop to anything."Faced with her baseless accusations, I found it amusing. She hated me, so no matter what I did, it always rubbed her the wrong way.That, I could understand."Say whatever you want to say, as much as you like. After all, when you're done shouting and have drawn everyone's attention, I'll just expose everything your son has done. When your son's company's stock plummets, your days won't be any better either," I stated cheerfully."Is this the only way you know how to threaten people?" Charlotte snapped angrily."Well, it does work, does it not?" I rebuked expressionlessly.Charlotte fell silent.I had no intention of dealing with her further and turned to leave.Seeing this, Charlotte said hurriedly, "Come out here for a moment. I have something to say to you."This family was truly

Seeing the curiosity and excitement on my face, Julian couldn't help but smile slightly. "You can check your phone and look at your account balance."I did as Julian said.My balance had increased by over 200 thousand."It was originally over 300 thousand, but we needed to deduct the taxes, so the amount credited to your account is just over 200 thousand. As for social insurance and housing fund contributions, the company handles those for you, do you don't need to worry about it."Finding it hard to believe, I looked at him and exclaimed, "That's a lot! This is the first time I've earned so much money through my own ability. I didn't think it'd feel this good to have my own money."I don't have to worry about others coming up with all sorts of reasons to take it away. And I don't need to justify every penny I spend. If I want to save it, I save it. If I want to spend it, I spend it. This is my freedom."I even felt a bit regretful. Had I taken this step earlier, it would've been

Luna took a deep breath. She knew she couldn't act rashly, or she would really lose.Luna lowered her head, raising her hand to caress her stomach. She was determined to keep this child.After much hesitation, she decided to call Charlotte. When Charlotte answered, Luna sobbed, "Mom, I don't know if it's because of the pregnancy, but my emotions have been really unstable lately."Charlotte, who had been treating Luna like a treasure recently, smiled and asked, "What's wrong?""Shayne has been getting close to Aralyn every day. When I see them together, I can't help but think if they get back together, what about me and the baby? What will I do then?""That's impossible! As long as I'm here, those two will never get back together!" Charlotte immediately assured her.Luna knew that Charlotte would always be on her side no matter what. "But just a verbal promise doesn't give me a sense of security.""What do you want me to do, then?" Charlotte asked in confusion.Without hesit

Shayne's phone rang, and he found the ringtone irritating. Glancing at the caller ID, he saw that it was Luna. He felt a little displeased but still answered the call. "Hello?"Luna was a bit nervous. She knew this was something she had to face. But when it came time to actually talk to Shayne about it, she couldn't help feeling anxious. "Do you remember what we talked about last night?"Shayne struggled to think for a long time before finally recalling what Luna had said to him. "Yes."Luna felt that his attitude was a bit indifferent, but for the sake of her future happiness, she decided to go all in."Can you tell me what you really think? Shayne, I don't want my child to be born into an unstable environment. At the very least, he can't end up like Zach, who you abandoned so easily."Shayne's headache worsened. He could understand Luna's concerns, especially with Zach as a precedent.Thinking back now, he had to admit that he had indeed been irresponsible toward Zach.He had

Despite the compliment, Julian remained humble, though he couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face. "Really?""Yeah."It was at this moment that I suddenly understood that Shayne and Zach refusing to eat the food I made had little to do with my cooking skills. The real reason was that they hated me, so they also hated the food I made.Just like now, I had a good impression of Julian, so when he was willing to cook for me, I found his food especially delicious.Julian looked at me, finding the way I ate was graceful and refined.He shook his head, silently reminding himself to look at me less.He was already hopelessly in love with me. If he kept watching, he would lose himself in me completely.…When Shayne woke up, his head was pounding—an aftereffect of his hangover. Without opening his eyes, he asked impatiently, "Aralyn, why didn't you make me hangover soup last night? And my head hurts so much right now. Massage my temples later."However, no one answered him.

Julian chuckled. "Not eating breakfast until now is bad for your health.""I don't think I've been working for that long," I said as I picked up my phone to check the time. It was 10:10 am. I instantly felt a bit baffled.Julian's lips curved into a subtle smile. "For the sake of your health, you should eat some breakfast. I made scrambled eggs and some sides. Come downstairs and eat before you continue working.""Alright," I agreed immediately.I knew that skipping breakfast was bad for my health. Besides, as an adult, I should set a good example for the younger ones.Otherwise, if they saw me skipping breakfast, they might not want to eat either. That would be a problem.I walked downstairs alongside Julian."People used to call me a workaholic, saying my mind was always occupied with work. But you seem even more deserving of that title than I am." Julian sighed.I joked, "If I hadn't met you, I probably would never have found a boss as good as you. So, of course, I have to s

"How much is the internship salary for each employee? If they exceed their task requirements, how much of a commission do they get? You have to figure all of this out yourself. Once you have thought through these questions, your company will be ready for official operation," Danny concluded.Alice nodded, somewhat understanding. "Thank you, Dad.""You're welcome." Danny looked at Alice, feeling that the girl he and his wife had always cherished and protected seemed to have finally grown up.The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. "If you run into problems you can't solve, you can always come to me. I will definitely help you.""You're the best, Dad!" Alice remarked playfully."Of course. You're my only daughter. If I don't treat you well, who else would I treat well?" Danny said proudly.After chatting with Danny a bit, Alice returned to her room. She took out her phone and sent a message to Joseph."I've written a lot of stuff. How about we meet tomorrow to go over eve

"If they're truly talented, they wouldn't need to take over the company. They might as well go find a job elsewhere. After all, it's more promising than working for us. The only people you can hire are those unqualified yet overconfident ones," Joseph remarked, smiling.Lucas sighed. "Why did you come back? Need something?"Did he suddenly realize how tough it was outside and decide to return home for an easier life?Joseph took out a notebook and said, "Of course! I want to start a company. We already have a project. But we don't know how to manage it, so we wanted to ask you first."As Lucas stared at Joseph, he realized that Joseph had really improved after being away from the family.Before, when he tried to get Joseph to join his company, Joseph always said he wasn't interested.But now, he wanted to start his own business.Lucas sat down and shared all the knowledge he had accumulated over the years.Joseph didn't bother filtering what was good or bad; he just wrote every

"Otherwise, at the slightest disturbance, we'd start worrying about what we'll do in the future if their company goes bankrupt.""That's true." Joseph imagined himself running a major company and becoming number one in the industry, surrounded by people treating him like a star.He couldn't help but smile. "Alright! We'll do as you say!""Then go home and ask your dad how to manage a company. Remember to take detailed notes so you don't forget the most crucial and important points. I'll ask my dad as well. Don't worry. I'll write everything down."We'll have a discussion afterward. For the parts that are the same, we'll follow them. For the differences, we'll combine the best of both," uttered Alice.Joseph responded excitedly, "Alright."He had been troubled emotionally, thinking he shouldn't waver for another woman just because of what Alice said.But now, his mind was entirely focused on business.He believed that once he succeeded, women would naturally come to him and purs

But when he saw the high prices, he suddenly felt like it wasn't worth it. A regular apartment only cost a few thousand dollars a month. One night in a hotel cost tens of thousands of dollars. It was enough to rent a place for a whole year and even hire a housekeeper to clean up the place.In the end, Joseph booked a hotel for 200 dollars. After checking in, he realized that while it wasn't as luxurious as the expensive ones, there wasn't that big of a difference. It was still inhabitable.…Alice had finally found such a good way to earn money, so she wanted to take full advantage of this opportunity. Even though she was already very frugal with her spending, and her salary and bonuses from the company were quite high, she had to admit that making a lot of money on her own still made her feel really happy.As she lay under the covers, her mind was filled with thoughts of how to expand her and Joseph's business. She also thought of how to make more people aware of them.However, A

So, Avery choosing another man was the reason he was so upset. Joseph suddenly stopped in his tracks. However, he remembered that Avery had never actually said she loved him. It was Alice who said it.It was because he saw Avery trying to please him that he naturally assumed Alice was right—that Avery had a crush on him.Joseph had a vague sense of unease. He turned around and went back to Alice's house. He raised his hand and rang the doorbell. "Hello?"Upon hearing this, Alice walked to the gate with a yawn. "What is it?"Joseph stared at Alice as he asked, "I wanted to ask… Avery has never loved me, right?"Alice was stumped by his question. How did he figure it out?She looked away, feeling a little guilty.Joseph's voice rose. "So, you've been lying to me from the very beginning? Why did you do it? Was it for revenge?"Since she had been exposed, Alice had no intention of hiding it anymore. "Yeah, why else? You suddenly found a woman to date and called her my substitute. Y
