A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 388
Shayne could understand what I meant. "No.""So, there's no reason for me to tolerate her," I replied. I knew better than anyone else that Luna could only keep Shayne by using the child, so she would never let anything happen to it."Also, you'd better keep your woman away from me. Otherwise, the next time my retaliation won't be as simple as just telling the truth."With that, I hung up the phone. Julian could tell that my mood was off, so he held my hand and asked, "Shayne called?""Yeah," I replied. I took a deep breath and added, "I blocked his number, but he borrowed a phone and called me."Julian scoffed. "He's really going all out just to defend Luna."As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang.He looked at the phone. It was Shayne.Since Shayne was his business partner, Julian couldn't refuse the call, so he answered it. "Mr. Pearce, what's the matter?"Shayne knew that he shouldn't contact Julian, but he wasn't able to convince Aralyn. To solve the issue of

It was probably because, when Shayne was with Aralyn, she always spoke her mind and never lied. She would also never create odd situations that made him unhappy.However, Luna was different. She always put her feelings first. She would pick fights with others when she felt uncomfortable. Even if the other person was entirely in the right and scolded her for her behavior, she would twist the truth and complain to him.Shayne rubbed his aching temples. What could he do to change this situation?Luna stared intently at Shayne. Since he hadn't put the phone on speaker, she didn't know exactly what the other person had said to him."How's the situation? Did Aralyn agree to back down?" she asked."I got criticized as you wished," Shayne replied, frustrated.He added, "And Aralyn didn't agree at all."Luna couldn't help but smile. Shayne felt uneasy upon seeing the smile on her face. What was she smiling about?Luna held his hand and quickly hid her smile. She pretended to comfo

Only at this moment did Julian finally gain a clearer understanding of Luna. She was very good at taking advantage of everyone around her, and these people would willingly stand up for her.Julian suddenly realized he shouldn't underestimate her. Luna hadn't successfully attached herself to Julian yet. If Shayne continued to ignore her, she'd face problems supporting herself in the future.Her tone became slightly stiff. "Mr. Hughes, you're a big-shot CEO, so you probably wouldn't tattle to others over such trivial matters, right?"Julian responded nonchalantly, "I can just casually mention it during work."Luna fell silent.Julian had no intention of arguing with her, so he hung up.Luna stared at her phone screen. She couldn't understand it. Didn't men like women who were weaker? Why didn't Julian take the bait?She was very dissatisfied but unwilling to give up. Luna thought about changing the subject to start another conversation with Julian, but her calls wouldn't go thro

"Contact me once you've thought it through—it won't be too late."Once Rowan became a useful piece in the game, he would realize that Luna didn't love anyone when he chatted with her. All she could see was money.Rowan would understand that Luna's love and attachment to him were all lies.In Luna's eyes, Rowan had already become irrelevant the moment they'd gotten divorced. This way, when the identity of the child in Luna's womb is eventually exposed, Shayne would no longer want her. Meanwhile, Rowan, having seen through her cold-heartedness, would lose all hope in her.Julian smiled. As for himself… Luna would never get him.Julian believed her expression would be amazing. To ensure his plan would proceed smoothly, he hoped Rowan wouldn't disappoint him.…"What are you thinking about?" I asked when I returned to Julian's side. I noticed the pleased smile on his face as I handed him a glass of water.Julian had no intention of hiding his thoughts from me. "I was thinking about

Julian explained, "It's not early. To develop a child's mind, you have to keep them by your side when they're young and influence them little by little. I have to teach her how to handle different situations as they arise without being short-sighted. "If she only focuses on immediate gains, the company might flourish in the short term but then fade away like a flash in the pan. As such, she needs to look further ahead."I hadn't expected Julian to have already planned so far ahead. "I support you."Upon seeing that I didn't object to this, he finally breathed out a sigh of relief. "Thank you for supporting my decision," he said.Amused, I replied, "Isn't that what I should do? Willow is your daughter. She treats me very well, and I see her as my daughter too. I'm elated now that I know that you're willing to train her to become your heir. So, you don't have to worry about me."Julian hugged me tightly. "Then starting tomorrow, I'll set some time aside to accompany Willow and te

Rowan suddenly had an absurd feeling that Luna had deliberately told him so much just to find an excuse not to contact him.Rowan didn't know how to reply, so he copied Julian's style and coldly responded with a simple "Hmm."Luna was very happy to see that Julian had replied to her and quickly sent him a message. "Don't you think what you said to me earlier was too much? Do you want to apologize and tell me you shouldn't have said that?"Rowan's heart gradually sank. "You're overthinking it."He took out another phone and opened his chat with Luna. The screen was filled with green chat bubbles. They were all messages he had sent to Luna. However, Luna always seemed stingy with her replies.Every time they exchanged a few words, Luna had other things to do. Basically, she never had time to talk to him.However, Luna, who hadn't been willing to talk to him, was eagerly sending messages to Julian now.It was only at this moment that Rowan suddenly realized that he had been deceive

Julian was stumped by my question. I didn't rush him for an answer. Instead, I watched him calmly.After some thought, Julian realized I had a point. "Alright, we'll do as you say."Only then did I feel relieved. "Good."Once Willow was done showering and brushing her teeth she ran up to me. "Mom, let's go train together!" Although she was still young, she was incredibly disciplined.Even if there was no one there to supervise her, she would complete her reading and jogging in a timely manner. I released Julian's hand and held Willow's.Willow glanced at me, then at Julian, and finally grabbed his hand too. "Join us too, Daddy!"Usually, Willow would drag me off with her. However, she brought Julian with her this time.I raised a brow at him.He couldn't hide his grin. "Alright."It seemed the stories were working. He would have to tell her more in the future.The three of us went downstairs together. After running, we practiced the basic martial arts moves. Once we were

"Willow, you need to understand that it's in human nature to be greedy."Willow tilted her head. "Why do you say that?""Let's use you as an example," Julian said, gently pinching her cheek. "Imagine I gave you 200 dollars in pocket money every month. From now on, you can buy whatever you want, and no one in the family will interfere.""Really? That sounds amazing!" Willow said, looking forward to the money."That's right," Julian replied. He then continued, "But let's say you want a toy that costs a thousand dollars, and you don't have enough money. What should you do?"Willow couldn't think of an answer.Julian carried on. "You'd have to save or earn the money. However, if you decide to save your money, it will take you five months to save up enough money. Besides, you partnered with Pamela to earn money and agreed to split your earnings with her, giving her half as wages each month."Willow counted carefully on her fingers.Julian watched as her chubby fingers moved. His moo

Julian replied instantly, "Just tell her that maybe it's because Aralyn doesn't like talking bad about others behind their backs as much as she does."Rowan thought for a moment and copied the message, tweaking it for a bit before sending it to Luna.Luna went silent for a long time, so long that Rowan thought she wouldn't reply.But Luna's enthusiasm eventually shattered Rowan's assumptions. "Putting everything else aside, Aralyn must've been really embarrassed earlier, right?"Rowan scrolled through his chat history with Luna.He had always been the one to initiate conversations with her.If he said something wrong, Luna would get upset and ignore him.Never once did Luna make the first move to chat with him, except for today.For the first time, Rowan felt like a ridiculous and laughable clown.Luna kept messaging. "If the same situation happened to me, I would definitely handle it perfectly. I'd never lose control of my emotions and make you look bad like Aralyn did."Eve

"Mr. Hughes is way better than her ex-husband! I'm sure everyone will agree!""Mr. Hughes is successful in his career and keeps himself dignified. Her ex-husband cheated on her and was stingy with her! Only a fool would still be hung up on an ex like that."After their discussion, everyone reached a conclusion."And yet, that old lady earlier said she's still in love with her ex-husband? She must take us for fools."…Amid the chatter, Julian and I returned to the office.I let out a sigh. "Luna is clearly in the wrong. But when she complains to others, she twists everything around. I really admire her ability to lie with a straight face."Julian held my hand and said, "Is it possible that she's trying to annoy you on purpose?"I was puzzled. "Why would she bother targeting me for no reason?""Your comic is doing really well right now. She's probably jealous, so she's trying to mess with your mindset to make you frustrated all the time. That way, you won't be able to earn mone

Charlotte was momentarily stunned."First of all, please understand the situation clearly. I've never caused her any trouble from the beginning. She's the one who has constantly found fault with me. All I did was defend myself. Yet here you are, coming to the company I work at to spread falsehoods and slander me."Seemingly not expecting me to take the matter so seriously, Charlotte snapped, "There's this saying called 'where there's smoke, there's fire.' If she has an issue with you, maybe you should reflect on whether you've done something wrong!"Then, she launched into a tirade.She had used this kind of tactic frequently, and it often worked well. Over time, she seemed to take it for granted that this approach was effective.Watching her aggressive demeanor, I simply called the police.Charlotte stood haughtily. "If you don't back down, I'll go straight to Shayne and tell him to stop coming to see you.""Oh, really?" I said, giving the company's address to the police.Char

The video being played showed all the evidence of her bullying me back in the day. Everything she had done was a hundred, no, a thousand times worse than what she had just accused me of.Charlotte watched it, her face turning pale. "Did I give you permission to play this? Aralyn, I'm ordering you to turn off the video immediately!""Why should I listen to you?" I chuckled.Charlotte didn't even think before saying, "I'm your mother-in-law!""I've already divorced your son, so please be more accurate. You're my ex-mother-in-law!"Halfway through watching the video, everyone turned to look at Charlotte with disdain in their eyes.Charlotte's expression became even more unpleasant, but she stubbornly stated, "What are you all looking at? She was my son's wife back then! It was my right to discipline her however I wanted—that was a family matter! That's none of your business!"I nodded. "True. Back then, I didn't stand up to you because I was weak. That's on me. I held back all th

Hearing this, Luna said indignantly, "Exactly. Shayne couldn't stand it and stood up for me, but she still scolded him. Looks like from now on, I'll have to avoid Aralyn whenever I see her. Otherwise, nobody will stand up for me if she bullies me."She'll definitely find ways to make trouble for me. If I stay far away from her, I'll surely avoid being sworn at."When Charlotte heard Luna's aggrieved tone, she became furious. "No need! Just wait—I'll go and scold her for you right now! Hmph! She's really outrageous. She has the guts to offend just anyone. Has she forgotten how I used to put her in her place back at home?"Mom…" Luna looked moved as she covered her mouth with both hands, leaving only her teary eyes visible."You're willing to protect me? Thank you! Honestly, I already feel a lot better. I think my baby's happy that his grandma loves him this much."She then remembered Charlotte couldn't see her, as they were on the phone. Luna pouted, wiping her tears away and smi

Shayne took a deep breath. "If it's really about the revenue share, then no matter how much we raise the price, she won't sell it to us."Henry agreed, "Exactly. After all, Hughes Group is putting significant effort into her work. If they retain all the copyrights and continue developing them, the benefits for her could be immeasurable."Shayne didn't want to lose his chance to interact with Aralyn. "What should I do, then?""It's simple. Either collaborate with Hughes Group to co-develop Aralyn's copyrights, or we can start establishing our own comic creators."Shayne wasn't interested in comics; he only wanted an opportunity to connect with Aralyn."Any other options?" he asked."Yes," Henry replied.Shayne was intrigued. "Oh?""I just haven't thought of one yet."…Luna got up and asked the driver to send Mason to the kindergarten before enjoying her breakfast in the living room.Afterward, she sat on the couch, contemplating her next steps seriously.Julian was now will

Shayne asked the question.His secretary, Henry Jonas, suddenly remembered and answered, "She asked me to contact her company, but I think she probably doesn't want to sell the copyright to us."Shayne looked up. "Oh?"Initially, he thought he could offer a low price to get a legitimate excuse to interact with Aralyn. But now, it seemed unlikely."I heard her merchandise sales are doing very well. Last month, her share was estimated at over 200 thousand. This month, it's still climbing, and it might reach over 500 thousand."The implication was clear—Aralyn wasn't interested in the meager price Shayne was offering.Shayne considered it seriously. "If she thinks the current price is too low, then we'll raise it a bit."Seeing Shayne's pained expression, Henry couldn't help feeling speechless.When it came to Luna, spending millions on jewelry didn't bother him in the slightest. But now, when it came to legitimately buying copyright, he was being stingy. Yet, he claimed to love A

Mark then said, "I hope you can prepare her for this.""You seem to have forgotten one thing," Julian calmly said. "Our future promotional efforts will also increase, which will result in more exposure for her..."The sales of merchandise would only continue to increase.Mark suddenly remembered this. "That's true. Looks like I was overthinking it."He continued, "I've already contacted the publisher again. We're working out the details. What I mean to say is, that since our goal is for Aralyn's works to be popular worldwide, it's okay if we earn a little less from each book. However, the quality must be good. What do you think?"Mark had his own thoughts, but whether they would be accepted depended on Julian.Julian agreed, saying, "That's right. There will be several more volumes of the comic in the future. Readers definitely won't be able to afford it if the price is set too high. As such, I can accept it if the company makes some compromises."Mark couldn't help but smile.
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 398
Julian stared at Rowan. He didn't interact with Rowan much, so he wasn't sure what kind of person Rowan truly was.Julian couldn't even guess what Rowan wanted to say. Did he want to side with Luna and Shayne and prove that he had slept with Aralyn or did he mean something else entirely? Julian answered calmly, "I know."Rowan wrestled with his thoughts for a long time before deciding to be frank. "Actually, I didn't do anything to her that night."Julian raised his hand, lightly tapping the arm of the sofa."To be precise, I'm very grateful to her now," Rowan said, taking a deep breath. "If she hadn't worked hard to convince me on that day, I might still be drifting aimlessly, not knowing what I should do with my life."Rowan added, "So, I sincerely hope she can be happy."He didn't need to clarify anything, but he chose to anyway.Julian replied sincerely, "Thank you.""It's the least I can do," Rowan replied, handing Julian a slip of paper with his bank account details.J
