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.

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

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

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

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

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

"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

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

"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. But whenever he tried, Aralyn would find an excuse to leave.Bitterness filled Shayne.He persisted day after day, treating Aralyn well bit by bit. 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
