Luna had become his mother, yet he didn't seem satisfied with it. He kept wanting to take his relationship with Luna a step further.What did that have to do with me?I looked at him with disgust. "Why are you telling me this? Are we familiar with each other?"Zach stood there dumbfounded, staring at me in shock.I frowned, not bothering to hide my disdain. "How you and your mom develop your bond is your business. It has nothing to do with me. Stop approaching me over and over again to tell me about it. I don't have that much time to waste. Understand?"With that, I walked past him without. After taking a couple of steps, I remembered something and turned to the kindergarten teacher. "I hope you can better supervise your students in the future. Don't constantly allow him to chat to strangers." I got into the car after I said that.Julian stepped on the gas, turned the steering wheel, and merged onto the road. He looked at me, his gaze probing.After spending some time with

The days ahead were still long, so there was no rush to figure everything out right away.I decided to focus all my attention on Willow for now and be the best mother I could be for her. I wanted to do my best to help her improve.Willow was a rather unique child. To understand how her condition could improve, I had to read more books and try to find clues in them that might help her get better. Fortunately, there was a bookstore nearby.I strode into the bookstore. It was very big, with three floors in total. The third floor housed the more specialized and knowledge-oriented books. I read the classification information on the bookshelves. The books near the window were related to psychology.I started with the psychology section and soon found books about autism. After paying for them, I didn't rush home. Instead, I sat in the reading area and started to read.There were actually a lot of books on autism, but most of them focused on cases where the person had never spoken since

Aralyn saw signs of improvement in Willow and wanted to analyze why Willow had suddenly started to improve. Could Willow fully recover if she continued interacting with her this way?…Julian, seeing that I was genuinely concerned for Willow, naturally viewed me in a more favorable light. "The situation in the book is very different from Willow's condition," he said.Over the years, he had taken Willow to all the doctors she needed to see. He had also gone through countless relevant books. However, he never found a way to cure her."Yeah," I agreed. "But she was clearly willing to interact with others this morning. So, from now on, I want to try encouraging her to interact more with others while doing things for her that she'd like to brag about."I continued, "Perhaps she would be more willing to speak to others if she could brag? We can then see which situation is more beneficial for her recovery."Of course, this was just an idea. Willow's real guardian was still Julian, so

Willow was very willing to express her love for me, so naturally, I had to let her feel my affection in return. "You're amazing too. I love you very much."Now that Willow was willing to communicate with Julian, he didn't want to miss any opportunity to talk to her. He pretended to be jealous. "Then does Willow not love Daddy?""I do, I do, I do!" Willow repeated, annoyed that her conversation with her mother was interrupted. However, she still said cutely, "I love you very much!"Julian seemed oblivious to her irritation. "That's good."Once she had dealt with him, she was worried that he would press her further. She thus cupped my face with her hands and whispered in my ear, "But the person I love, love, love the most is you."She used multiple "love"s in succession, as if that was the only way to prove her love for me was one of a kind.After she said that, she didn't forget to lift her chin and gave Julian a cocky look.Julian merely smiled. I couldn't help but smile as we

Shayne was put into a difficult position. "But Mama Luna is pregnant. Asking her to pick you up wouldn't be very safe."The teacher, despite her patience, started to feel rather irritated by Shayne's repeated excuses."So, you're saying that you don't have the time to pick Zach up, and your wife can't either because of her health?"Shayne replied awkwardly, "That's right."The teacher couldn't understand how a parent could be so irresponsible. "Then what about the child?"Shayne didn't know how to answer her question, so he remained silent. The two were at a standstill.In the end, it was Zach who offered a solution. "Dad, why don't I ask the teacher to take me home instead?""That's great!" Shayne answered eagerly. "I'll have to trouble you then, Ms. Warren."Cynthia Warren couldn't help but roll her eyes. In all her years of teaching, this was the first time she had met such a parent.However, for the sake of the child's safety, she sent Zach home. On the way to Zach's home,

Julian loved to spoil his daughter. He couldn't refuse any of Willow's requests. Without even waiting for her to ask, he simply lifted her and placed her in the shopping cart.He walked quickly as he pushed Willow. I followed them from behind but soon, I couldn't see them. However, I could still hear Willow's voice."Daddy, slow down!" Willow's tone was clearly happy. Even her complaints were filled with laughter. "I can't see Mom!""Oh, Mom!"I turned around when I heard her voice behind me. I just so happened to see her waving at me. I waved back in return.The next moment, the two of them dashed past me like a gust of wind. I continued walking slowly, seeing if there was anything I might need.When they circled back to my side, Willow seemed to have gotten tired of whizzing around. She tilted her head and asked curiously, "Mom, what are you doing?"I was about to choose the laundry supplies instinctively, but after comparing a few items, I suddenly realized that I no longer

Julian finally remembered and immediately put on a stern face. "No."Willow had wanted to copy the other kids by throwing a tantrum on the floor, but when she glanced around and noticed people nearby, her cheeks turned bright red. She walked back to Julian. "Let's stop playing," she said. It seemed embarrassing.I couldn't help but laugh. Children were so amusing.Julian picked Willow up, and she buried her face in his chest. "Mom, stop laughing."Only then did I stop laughing.Julian carried Willow in one arm and pushed the cart with the other. It looked exhausting, so I decided to help him out and reached for the cart. "Let me push it.""Alright." Julian didn't refuse. "Our chef will be on leave tomorrow, so we'll have to go out for breakfast."Willow eagerly voiced her opinion. "I want sausages!"I was about to suggest that I could cook breakfast since the chef wouldn't be there, but hearing Willow's excitement about eating out, I decided to keep it to myself.Children fr

Willow thanked Julian sweetly. "Thank you, Daddy.""You're welcome," Julian replied, his voice softening noticeably.Willow took a sip of her soup. She then raised her head and asked Julia as she looked at him, "Daddy, when will the chef be back?""Next week," he replied."Tomorrow is Saturday…" Willow calculated in her head. "We already have plans for that day.""Then Sunday!" yelled Willow. She then eagerly suggested, "Let's cook at home."She really wanted to experience what life was like for an ordinary family of three. Julian looked at me. It was as if he was worried that I might refuse.I didn't mind it at all. "That's fine with me."Julian seemed relieved and gently pinched Willow's cheek. "Then we'll do as you say."…Zach hadn't eaten ever since he returned. His stomach growled. He was very hungry. As such, he opened the fridge to see if there was any food. The fridge was completely empty.Zach rubbed his little stomach and opened the freezer. It was filled with

Maisy stared at Shayne.Shayne remained silent for a long time before saying, "No matter what, he's my son.""So, now you consider him your son? Too late! I'm warning you, the only reason you got to talk to him today is because I didn't notice you in time! If I catch you near Zach again, I won't let you off!" Maisy snapped.For Shayne, Zach was the only connection left between him and Aralyn.If he lost Zach too, then he would truly have nothing.Shayne looked straight at Maisy and said, "But do you have the right to interfere? You're his grandmother. I'm his father. It's already kind enough of me to let him live with you."Maisy almost laughed in anger. "Me? Interfering? First of all, you were the one who gave up custody of Zach. You were also the one who refused to give him a single cent! And now you're telling me this? Do I look like a pushover?"She had managed to carve out her own path after her divorce, despite Donald trying to blacklist her from the industry.That alone

Shayne followed behind Zach into the bedroom, only to discover that the entire room was covered with photos of Aralyn.Every wall was plastered with them.He stood there, stunned.On the desk, a small robot said in Aralyn's uniquely gentle voice, "You're home, sweetheart."Shayne looked over in disbelief.Zach sat in front of the robot, looking at it with a smile. "Yes, Mom, I'm home.""Welcome home," said the robot softly."But there's an unwelcome guest in the house," Zach said.The little robot immediately suggested, "Why don't we call someone else over to kick him out?"Zach looked at Shayne.His longing for Aralyn had only gotten better because of the robot and the countless photos surrounding him.But when he noticed Shayne was also staring at the robot, his expression darkened. "Did you hear that? You're not welcome here. Please leave."Shayne stood there, dazed. "Can I ask who gave you this robot?""No, you can't," Zach replied sternly.Shayne averted his gaze and

Yasmin narrowed her eyes.So, Luna had indeed pursued Julian.Yasmin found it oddly amusing.Since Luna was also interested in Julian, would she really help Yasmin sincerely?Yasmin wasn't sure, but she decided to put it aside for now.Either way, she would just stay vigilant.…Zach returned home, only to see Shayne standing at the door. He merely glanced at Shayne before looking away and pushing the door open to enter the house.Shayne followed behind him.As soon as Zach stepped inside, he intended to close the door.But Shayne stuck his hand in the doorway. "Can we talk?""About what? Last time we met, you hit me. What about this time?" Zach asked coldly.He didn't believe for a second that Shayne had come for anything good.After all, Shayne was an idiot who always believed whatever people told him.There was a high chance that this time, Shayne had been manipulated again and had come looking for trouble."I'm here to talk about your mother," Shayne muttered.At hi

Luna was just that attractive to men.She couldn't stop smiling at the thought."Then what kind of men do you think would like me?" Yasmin asked.Luna was momentarily stumped as she looked Yasmin up and down. Even though Yasmin was the same age as Aralyn, she lacked Aralyn's composure and calmness.Instead, she seemed a bit foolish.Luna found Yasmin somewhat annoying, but she didn't show it.She just smiled faintly and said, "Probably more mature and experienced men."Yasmin pressed her lips together. Those kinds of men were usually older, and she wasn't interested in them.Of course, Luna knew what Yasmin was thinking about but didn't show it. "I think most men aren't worthy of you, of course. Someone like Julian is just right.""That's right!" Yasmin agreed instantly.Luna nodded. "Yeah."Frowning, Yasmin muttered, "But the men who are worthy of me don't like me.""With diligence and persistence, anything is possible," Luna answered patiently.After finishing work, teas

Shayne had no other way to relieve his feelings now.Although drinking could make him forget Aralyn, he would feel like his heart had been hollowed out the very next day. It was unbearably miserable.Hence, he wanted to meet Zach. Zach was one of the few family members he had in this world.Once Shayne made the decision, he drove to Zach's place.…Luna never knew that pregnancy could be so exhausting. The animation project had just ended, but she had to design drafts for trendy toys now. She was dead tired.And now, someone was knocking on the door in the middle of the night.Luna opened the door.The person standing at the door was Yasmin, someone she had seen on TV.Recently, Luna had also learned a bit about Yasmin. Although she was rather fierce and seemed immature, she was about the same age as Aralyn."What are you here for?" Luna asked in surprise."To chat with you."Without even waiting for Luna to invite her in, Yasmin walked straight into the living room and s

Julian walked out, having just finished his shower. When he heard my conversation with Willow, he explained, "Your mommy is even more amazing than you think. Tens of millions is actually just a safe guess."Willow's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Wow, she can make even more?"Julian remained composed. "Yeah, these designer toys are selling really well, and they've also boosted sales of related merchandise and some comic books."Willow looked at me with even more admiration.Smiling, I uttered, "It's all thanks to your daddy."However, Julian was humble. "It's clearly because of your own hard work."I didn't deny it.Julian then asked, "The toys you designed yourself are also making a lot of money, right?""I heard from Mark that their sales are catching up to the designer toys. They've also made a huge profit. When the hype starts dying down, I'll release a new set of dolls. Based on my current inventory, I think I can keep the momentum going for at least another year," I s

"Alice doesn't know much, but these manufacturers definitely do. If you contact them and ask for a list, do you think they'll help you?" I asked.Mark hesitated for a moment. If everyone took advantage of this trend and increased production, they could make more money.And the more people knew about it and discussed it, the longer the hype would last, and the more money everyone could earn.Of course, they would be willing to introduce their peers.Once Mark understood this, he excitedly said, "Got it! I'll contact them right away!""Okay." My tone finally relaxed.…Mark was dedicated to this job. He proactively reached out to the factory owners. After explaining the pros and cons to them, he asked them to introduce other factory owners to him.Each of them was enthusiastic. Within just a few dozen minutes, he had already gotten at least ten phone numbers.He called them one by one, explaining his needs.To ease their concerns, he mentioned his referrers and emphasized that

Aralyn had always been the one to soothe them, including Charlotte.Shayne had now come to realize that Charlotte wasn't as great as he had once imagined.It was just that, when Aralyn was by his side, she had been afraid of affecting his work. So, no matter how much trouble Charlotte caused, Aralyn always covered for her.Yet, he refused to cherish the woman who had cared so much for him.Shayne took a deep breath, suddenly feeling exhausted."What's there to think about?" Charlotte asked."In all the years Aralyn was with me, the money she spent didn't even add up to what you both spend in a month, or even a week. Wait, even a day," Shayne said coldly.Charlotte felt that Shayne had become stingy. "But you're supposed to spend the money you make.""My son and wife didn't get to spend it. It all went to you." Shayne's voice was filled with self-mockery.Charlotte was a little annoyed. What did he mean by that?She had worked so hard to raise Shayne. It was only right that he

"Other people don't know the truth, so I can understand if they blame me. But Shayne knows, yet he still blames me!" Charlotte said.Luna sighed. "Don't let others sow discord between you. As for Shayne, he's still dreaming about getting back together with Aralyn. He's probably still hoping to have more children with her."But Aralyn no longer had any interest in Shayne.Luna understood this very well. If she were married to a man like Julian—gentle, rich, handsome, and loving—she wouldn't even consider someone like Shayne.Sure, Shayne was somewhat good-looking, but he was also stingy and emotionally unavailable.The contrast was just too brutal.If Aralyn broke up with Julian and got back together with Shayne, Luna would seriously question whether Aralyn had a mental illness.Charlotte, of course, didn't think her son had done anything wrong. Hence, in her mind, Aralyn was the one at fault."Aralyn must have been secretly contacting Shayne! Otherwise, why would he still be th
