"I know you love me." Shayne didn't quite understand why he could feel Luna's love for him easily. But when it came to Aralyn's love and kindness, he only realized it after losing her.It turned out that the ease he had taken for granted was entirely due to Aralyn's silent and selfless support.A trace of sadness flickered in Shayne's eyes. "A few days ago, I wanted so badly to reconcile with Aralyn. So, when you offered to help, I impulsively agreed. "But today, I suddenly think it's not right. If I have to rely on another woman to pursue my ex-wife, wouldn't that make me seem completely useless?"Pretending to not like what she was hearing, Luna said, "I won't allow you to talk about yourself like that!""Alright. I won't," Shayne replied with a smile. Only then was Luna satisfied. "That's better. Since you've made up your mind, I'll stay at home, take care of myself, and focus on the baby."Of course, she was just saying that.There was no way she'd truly listen to Shayn

All of them exchanged glances, and from each other's eyes, they knew everyone was thinking of the same thing—they hoped Julian and his girlfriend stayed together forever.After the meeting, the group left in unspoken agreement.Julian looked at Mark, who was about to leave. "Mark, stay behind."Mark wasn't sure what Julian wanted but couldn't help asking curiously, "So, Aralyn gave you a gift?"Julian couldn't hide his pride. "Yeah, but she's just pretending to be my girlfriend. She hasn't actually agreed to date me."Mark raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Hughes, it means she's interested in you. Think about it. Why would she pretend to be your g

That would total over six million.At my current earning rate, it would only take a year or two to save up that amount. But instead of saving money, paying for health insurance would be more cost-effective. If I paid for 20 to 30 years, there were no further payments after that.And medical expenses would be reimbursed significantly.I smiled as I thought of this.It seemed I needed to find a time to go back and discuss the health insurance issue with Mom.Previously, because Mom didn't agree with my divorce, I dared not go back.But the divorce had been finalized, and I had already moved on from the shadows of it. Whether or not Mom scolded me, I should still meet her.She raised me, after all. I couldn't possibly ignore her for the rest of my life.After resolving Mom's pension and healthcare issues, I also needed to consider my own retirement.If I planned for 50 years for myself as well, I would need to save over ten million.The more I thought about it, the more excited

"I can't, Mom," Shayne answered in a pained voice.Seeing that Charlotte couldn't come up with a suitable solution to his problem, he said, "You can go back now. I want to calm down for a bit.""You're a grown man. How can you let a woman make you this miserable?" Charlotte scolded him angrily.Shayne grew even more frustrated. "I love her. I don't know when I started loving her. But from the day I realized it, I've been unable to live without her.""As long as you're willing to work at it, you'll forget about her eventually."Shayne didn't want to hear Charlotte continue to criticize him. "I have work to do, Mom."It was obvious that he was trying to get her to leave. Charlotte realized that Shayne didn't want to hear her nag and said, "I'm saying this for your own good.""No need," Shayne decisively responded. "I want to be alone."Charlotte scolded him again, calling him hopeless. When she saw that he truly didn't want to talk, she left reluctantly.Shayne sat alone in the

"Is it simply because he sees potential in my comic, or is he trying to use the development rights as an excuse to get closer to me? Or maybe he just doesn't want too many people to know about what happened between us."Either way, I still think I should keep my distance from him, so I'd prefer not to sell the comic rights to him.""If you don't sell it to him, and no one else buys it, would you be disappointed?"I shook my head. "No.""Now I can offer you another option.""What is it?" I asked quickly."Let Hughes Group develop your comic rights. The company will give you a certain percentage of the share."Without thinking, I responded, "Deal."Julian's expression became unusually serious. "If the adaptation doesn't do well, the money you make could be less than what you would get from selling the rights."He was worried I might regret it.But I had already decided. "I'm willing to take that risk."Julian praised me sincerely, "That's what I admire about you, Lyn. You're a

"I'll go tomorrow, then," Sophia quickly said.Amber couldn't contain her excitement. "If there's any problem, just ask your brother. He'll definitely help you."Sophia's mood lightened considerably.Recently, the company's business had been declining sharply. She and the staff had tried many ways to solve the problem, but nothing worked. If left unchecked, the company might collapse soon. She didn't expect Amber to find a savior for her."Okay. Thank you, Mom!" Sophia replied happily.…After Julian finished his work, he walked up to me and asked, "Are you curious about the choice I made just now?"I was focused on drawing and only looked up when I heard Julian's voice. "She's your mother. No matter how unreasonable she has been, as long as that blood relation is there, you can't let it go that easily. "Besides, this time, she took the initiative to apologize and give you an out. You're seizing the opportunity to reconcile with her. So, I can understand your choice."Jul

Not knowing how to start, I stared at the laptop screen, lost in thought.Julian noticed that I hadn't begun drawing for a while. "Having trouble?"I turned to look at him. "Yeah, I just have a general idea. But when I try to actually start, my mind goes blank.""If you use your current account to draw about our fake relationship, Shayne will definitely sense something's off. But what if you use a different account?"A lightbulb went off in my mind. "Why didn't I think of that before?"With that, inspiration struck, and I immediately began sketching."Have you settled on a specific theme?" Julian asked from the side."Yes, I'm planning to draw a story about a contract marriage." A sly smile flashed across Julian's face briefly, but his tone remained casual. "You were with Shayne for so many years, and he didn't treat you well. I imagine most of your time with him was spent in doubt and pain. You probably never got to properly enjoy what love feels like."I nodded. "That's t

Julian had always been confident in his work.Whether it was major decisions like the company's future direction and when to implement transformations, or smaller details like how to push a project forward and what goals to achieve at each stage, he always had a clear plan in mind.But today, the strengths he prided himself on seemed to lose their effect.All he could do was wait for my answer passively. I thought for a long time before finally saying, "If you're really considering marrying me, then for the next few years, no matter how amazing the women around you might be, you can't let your heart waver. You have to choose me no matter what."I didn't want the man I was considering as my husband to get involved with other women along the way. "Can you accept that?""Of course, I can," he replied, more seriously than ever.I didn't say anything.Julian continued, "I've been single until now. I've met plenty of outstanding women, but I've never had feelings for any of them. An

"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.

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

Did he have to tell Luna that he wouldn't separate from her and Mason in the future?No.Shayne had already decided he loved Aralyn. He couldn't waver anymore.Remaining silent for a long time, Shayne said, "You're right."Luna hadn't expected Shayne to respond like this. She was momentarily stunned and immediately sat up, staring at him in disbelief."So, should I still take him out tomorrow?" Shayne asked.Luna finally realized that all her previous tactics were useless against Shayne now. "Go ahead, or you'll disappoint him since you've already promised him."Shayne didn't refuse. "Alright."Luna helped Shayne find some clothes and then led him to the master bedroom. "Are you planning to sleep in the same room as me tonight, or…"Shayne shook his head. "I'll stay by myself. If Aralyn finds out, she'll definitely be upset."This was exactly what Luna wanted to hear; she didn't want to sleep with him either."Then, I'll sleep in the guest bedroom tonight. Get some rest."W

"You were by Mason's side, and you treated him well. He was happy."Luna lowered her eyes, her gaze incredibly gentle. "He thinks you're the best dad in the world."Shayne suddenly felt a bit guilty.He hadn't been a good husband and father."But I wasn't good to him," he replied softly.Luna felt it was time for Shayne to bond with Mason. "He doesn't think so. Why don't I call him over? You can ask him."Shayne thought that was a good idea. Kids understood other kids' feelings best. "Then I'll trouble you with that.""Alright." Luna got up and walked forward while holding her belly.Shayne sat where he was, feeling a bit anxious.Luna walked to Mason's bedroom door and knocked. "Mason, Dad's here!"Upon hearing that, Mason was thrilled and rushed out of his room. But when he saw Shayne not far away, his expression froze. Then, he turned to look at Luna.He had thought his biological dad was here.Luna patted Mason's back gently.Mason instantly understood what Luna meant

Thinking it was Yasmin again, Luna grew a bit annoyed. But she still forced a smile. "Why are you here again?"Shayne narrowed his eyes instinctively. "Again? Was someone else here just now?""Yasmin." Luna stepped aside to let Shayne in. Her belly was already quite large, and she had to support her waist while walking."She said she wants to pursue Julian and asked me for some advice."After saying that, she realized her tone toward Shayne had been a bit cold.Hence, she softened her voice and asked, "What are you doing here?""I want to ask you some questions about kids," Shayne answered."Kids? I know a lot about kids." Luna placed her hand on her belly, stroking it gently.As she spoke, she pulled Shayne's arm, making him sit beside her. "But before you ask me anything, come and listen first. Our baby should have a heartbeat by now."Shayne no longer felt love for Luna, but he couldn't deny that he still cared a lot about the baby.It was his baby, after all.He pressed
