A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 344
Julian was reluctant to let go. "I just want to spend a bit more time with you.""I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere," I replied, amused."Julian, you need to earn money to support Willow and all the employees under you. If you get too caught up in romance and neglect the company, what will happen to them?"Hearing this, Julian finally let me go, albeit reluctantly. He returned to his desk but not before pulling me close for a deep kiss.After he left, I turned back to my laptop screen. Suddenly, the direction of the storyline became clear in my mind. I began sketching the outlines intently.When I finished, I turned my head and, to my surprise, found Julian secretly watching me.I got up and walked over to him. "Are you not in the mood to work right now?""I've already finished today's tasks." Perhaps because we had just confirmed our relationship, Julian felt even the small distance between us was unbearable.Grabbing my wrist, he pulled me into his arms. "So, what do y

At that point, without her parents to back her and without any real skills, she wouldn't be able to resist.She'd have no choice but to slink away from his house and take some low-paying job earning two or three thousand a month to scrape by.The more Alice thought about it, the angrier she became at how despicable he was."Your dad doesn't necessarily need to reject every collaboration outright. There's one project I've heard he wanted to propose to your father, the one in the northern part of the city," Julian stated.Alice shot Julian a wary look. "You're not getting back at me on purpose because I interrupted your moment with Aralyn earlier, are you?"Her father had clearly said not to accept any of them. And now Julian was suggesting otherwise?"If you don't trust me, then forget it." Julian didn't bother explaining further.Seeing that he was serious, Alice continued, "My dad said that project seems like the most legitimate one. If we had money, taking it on wouldn't be an

Previously, he even felt sorry for Alice.She had put aside her pride and gone out of her way to chase Julian. Yet, Julian remained unmoved.After discussing the project with Julian today, he realized his daughter couldn't handle a man like Julian. Alice raised her chin, brimming with pride. "Of course! Why else would I ignore so many others and insist on making her my best friend?"Danny sighed. "You've always had terrible judgment in picking friends. It's rare for you to get it right. And when you finally do, you meet someone influential."Alice let out an awkward laugh."My judgment has never been good, but Dad doesn't need to know that," Alice thought.At first, she had seen Aralyn as a rival in love.Alice narrowed her eyes.The people she made friends with were bad, and the people she disliked turned out to be surprisingly decent.Maybe from now on, she should only choose friends from the people she disliked.Danny patted Alice on the shoulder. "Cherish these friends.

"In the business world, this is the most basic skill. If you don't think further ahead, you might end up being harmed without even knowing how it happened," Julian said calmly.Alice could clearly sense that Julian was trying to teach her something. Not understanding it, she asked, "Why are you telling me this?"Julian didn't answer. He merely withdrew his gaze.Alice noticed Julian's disdain, which left her even more puzzled. Had she done something wrong?"You're planning to start a gaming company, right? Julian is teaching you how to handle things when you eventually have your own company," I said.Alice put on a fawning smile. "But running a company is so troublesome. I only recently realized I enjoy working for others more."She could live carefree every day while still earning so much money."Can I just keep working here forever?" she asked, looking completely innocent.Since I was also one of Julian's employees, I couldn't make that decision for him. I turned to Julian. "

Sophia, thinking about the company's issues and how Julian always had solutions, couldn't suppress the smile on her face.She walked into the office without a second thought. "Julian—"Before she could say anything, she saw Julian—known for being distant and uninterested in women—deeply engrossed in kissing the woman in his arms.She suddenly had a bad feeling, so she quickly pretended she hadn't seen anything and began to back away.…Hearing the sound, I hurriedly pushed Julian away. "Someone's here."Julian looked a bit regretful but still raised his gaze to see Sophia, who was about to close the door. "Come in."Sophia stood in front of Julian's desk nervously. "Julian."Julian sat down expressionlessly and looked at Sophia. "Next time, knock before entering."Sophia felt speechless. "I don't need you reminding me to do that!" Sophia thought.But she replied, "Okay."Julian gestured with his eyes for her to sit, then casually asked, "Whatever the issue is, feel free to a

Even if Julian wanted to, he couldn't spare the time to be affectionate with me. Glancing at me, he sighed and turned back to focus on his work.…By the time he finished, it was time to pick up Willow. I gathered my things and walked over to Julian, asking, "Ready to go?"Julian stood up and held my hand. "Yes."As I looked at our intertwined hands, I found it strange. I had been married to Shayne for so many years. He never got used to holding hands or hugging me in public, nor did he want to display any kind of affection.When I asked him why, he said it was because he was the CEO of Pearce Group and couldn't appear too frivolous.But Julian was completely different. Wherever we went, he couldn't wait to hold my hand, paying no mind to what others might think."Aren't you afraid that people seeing us like this might harm your image?" I voiced my curiosity.Julian answered without hesitation, "Of course not. I think they'd just envy me for having such a great girlfriend."

When this topic was brought up, Eric's mood instantly brightened. "They've already been discharged from the hospital, thanks to the salary you gave me over the past few months. Otherwise, I don't know how I could've managed it.""That's money you earned through your own abilities. Now, besides escorting Willow every evening, I've arranged a part-time job for you as well," Julian said calmly."You'll be responsible for taking Ximena and Pamela to and from places daily. Do you have the time?""Yes!" Eric responded unhesitatingly."As for the pay, I was thinking of adding 20 thousand to your current salary. If you have any concerns, you can ask me to raise it."Eric quickly shook his head. "I'm fine with it! I'm very happy with this income.""So, it's settled?" Julian asked.Eric nodded. "Yes, don't worry. I'll make sure to protect them."…Back in the living room, Julian relayed the arrangements to us.Ximena finally sighed in relief. "Now, when he bothers me, I'll have a way t

Pamela shoveled food into her mouth while exclaiming, "It's been so long since I've eaten something this delicious!"Seeing her daughter so happy, Ximena couldn't help but feel joyful as well. "Then eat more."…After dinner, Eric drove them home. On the way, he said to them, "I don't have much work during the day, so if you need anything, you can call me."Hearing this, Ximena was silent for a moment before asking, "I have several extra rooms at home. Would you mind staying at my place overnight?"She watched Eric nervously, afraid he would refuse.Andrew had recently started showing up at night to cause trouble, leaving her feeling utterly distressed."Of course, I wouldn't mind," Eric responded without hesitation."I don't have a place to stay at the moment anyway, so if you're willing to let me stay, I couldn't be happier."Ximena smiled slightly. "Thank you."The car stopped in the underground garage, and Eric escorted Ximena and Pamela upstairs.Holding Eric's hand, Pa

For an ordinary employee, this was indeed a great opportunity. However, Alice had money, but she dared not admit it. With tears streaming down her face, she muttered, "It's really great."Melody was even more puzzled. "Then why are you crying?""I'm happy," Alice said, feeling like she was drowning in a flood of tears. "Next month's paycheck will definitely be huge!"Melody's eyes lit up instantly. "Oh, that's true!"…Julian had just stepped out of the office when Avery, who was hiding nearby, pulled out her phone and called Luna. "Julian is leaving."She quickly added, "Aralyn isn't with him this time.""Alright. I'll go over immediately," Luna replied. She was waiting nearby.She added, "Oh, you need to come downstairs quickly. Later, take the opportunity to find a suitable angle and snap a suggestive photo of us together. Remember to send it to Aralyn once you're back."Avery laughed gleefully. "No problem."She hung up and quickly pressed the elevator button to go down.

Julian would definitely retaliate. However, his methods weren't too obvious. Usually, people didn't realize what had happened until they found themselves in trouble.I stopped what I was doing and walked up to Julian, asking, "There's only one new project in the gaming department, right? I recall hearing you discuss with Mark that this project is especially urgent."Julian smiled faintly. "That's right. She's far too idle in the gaming department. She doesn't do any real work every day, and all she knows how to do is gossip. If I don't assign her to a busy department to train her properly, she would have learned nothing by the time she resigns."Julian held my hand and added, "I just want her to learn more."His gaze lingered briefly on my lips.I nodded, accepting his explanation. "Alright then, I'll get back to work.""Okay, go ahead," Julian responded gently. …Julian stared at Aralyn as she walked back to her cubicle and sat down. Only then did he calmly look away.Alice

Alice replied without hesitation, "No way.""Huh?" replied Melody."When I confessed to him, he made it very clear he wasn't interested in me," Alice said confidently. "Later, when I became friends with Aralyn, he allowed me to work at Hughes Group for her sake." "Oh, I see," replied Melody.She was rather disappointed. "I thought I was about to witness an epic romance!"Hearing this, Alice immediately looked around to ensure no one else was nearby. Once certain, she said, "You absolutely cannot say something like that again in the future. If Julian hears you, he'll really fire me immediately!"Melody quickly covered her mouth. "I'll remember!"…After buying a drink, I opened it and handed it to Julian.He quickly drank a few gulps. Once the burning sensation in his mouth subsided, he suddenly realized that Melody acted like she had a crush on him back then as a way to lower his guard. In reality, Melody's true intent from the start was to mess with him.Julian took my hand

Melody waited in the restaurant for a few minutes before sneaking out. She dashed all the way to Alice at the gaming department. "Alice!"Alice immediately ran to her side upon hearing her. "How did it go?"Melody replied with a mischievous grin, "I did everything you told me to!"Alice smirked wickedly. "Then let's go enjoy the show."Although Julian had been kind to her and even gave her dad valuable advice on work-related matters, she knew it was all for Aralyn's sake. In fact, she had a vague feeling that Julian didn't like her.No, more accurately, Julian seemed to think she was a third wheel who destroyed his and Aralyn's alone time.She and Aralyn were good friends. Spending time together was natural, and Julian had no right to object.Alice grabbed Melody's hand. "Come on!"Melody's excitement grew. "Let's go!"…In the office, I was just about to go back to my couch and continue working. However, Julian tightly held onto my hand. "Lyn.""Yes?" I asked as I turned

Luna thought eagerly that as long as she could get Julian, then everything Aralyn was enjoying now would become hers.It would be nice if that day could come sooner.…Julian picked a small restaurant this time. He also ordered their signature dishes.He then introduced the restaurant to me. "This restaurant was recommended by Mark. He said the food is really good, so I thought I'd bring you here to try it."The dishes were served.I took a bite. The cooking was just right, and the flavors were incredible. I nodded in agreement, "It's indeed delicious."Seeing that I was genuinely satisfied, Julian let out a sigh of relief. "I'm glad you like it."I hummed in response and continued eating."Mr. Hughes, is that really you?" A young girl, likely just out of college, suddenly appeared and skipped over to Julian.She had a look of disbelief on her face. "The last time I promoted my parents' restaurant to you, I thought you wouldn't like such a small place. I didn't think you'd

"What? Do you think she's easy to bully because no one's protecting her?""No," Shayne quickly responded."That better be the case," Julian replied disdainfully.With that, he immediately hung up.…Hearing Julian's voice, I slowly walked out of the cubicle and stopped in front of him. "Was that Shayne on the phone just now?"Julian didn't intend to hide that from me. "Yeah. After Luna failed to get you in trouble and got criticized, she probably felt upset and called him to complain. He believed her."As he spoke, he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me onto his lap. "He wanted to stand up for her."I asked disdainfully, "Are both of them out of their minds?""Yeah," replied Julian as his other hand held mine. He gently caressed the back of my hand and continued, "I don't get it. He's clearly constantly protecting Luna. Where does he get the audacity to say that he loves you?" I sneered and said, "I don't think he has feelings for me at all. He's deliberately sayin

Shayne was here to seek justice for Luna, so he naturally had no intention of hiding it. "Luna," he answered without hesitation.Julian didn't have the time to keep track of what happened online, but he could more or less guess what was happening. It was probably about Luna stirring up trouble for Aralyn online.However, it failed. Since Luna wasn't willing to accept her failure, she got Shayne to stand up for her. Julian crossed his long legs. There was an obvious sneer on his handsome face.Shayne took a deep breath. "Mr. Hughes, this matter has nothing to do with you. I don't want to take out my anger on the innocent, so please hand the phone to Aralyn.""She's my girlfriend," Julian replied, always quick to defend Aralyn. "Mr. Pearce, I've heard a bit about the feud between the two of them today."Shayne saw that Julian wasn't cooperating, so he asked, "So, you want to protect her?"Julian sneered. "Obviously. She wasn't in the wrong from the start. Wouldn't it make me

Everyone thought I made sense and began to criticize Luna. "What's wrong with her?""Was ruining someone else's marriage as a mistress wasn't enough for her? Now she's repeatedly stirring up trouble in the victim's comment section.""Is she nuts?"My mood gradually improved as I read everyone's comments.I lazily leaned back on the couch and calmly thought about Luna. She provoked me because she was jealous that I had so many fans who liked me, right? She was trying to incite my readers into betraying and hurting me.Her goal was to make me stop drawing, but life wasn't that simple. The more she wanted me to quit making comics, the more determined I was to continue. I was also determined to constantly improve the comic's quality. Whether it was the story or the art, I wanted to improve.Only then would more people like me, and Luna would become even more angry.I planned to use this approach to frustrate Luna and make her suffer before she gave birth. I considered it interes

Julian walked faster upon hearing that. Although Mark was very curious about the details, he understood that it was a private matter between Julian and Aralyn as a couple. It would be rude if he went over to eavesdrop on them. As such, he suppressed his curiosity and returned to his own office.…Julian pushed open the office door, walked over to me, and asked, "Are you feeling okay?""I'm feeling great." I then stared at him, confused. "Why do you ask?"He held my hand and said, "Mark told me someone was insulting you. I was worried you'd be upset..."I chuckled and replied, "Oh, you're talking about that. It's nothing—just something Luna stirred up. I resolved it easily and even dragged her down in the process. Now, more people are criticizing her than me."Julian's worry eased. "You're not angry?"I responded confidently, "Things have already reached this point. Getting angry won't solve the issue. It's better to take the opportunity to think about how to turn a crisis into
