"I'm her former mother-in-law," Charlotte responded without hesitation.Shayne chuckled. "Then she has nothing to do with you. Why should she tolerate you?""But you're her ex-husband. She used to love you so much. You were more important than her own life back then," Charlotte retorted matter-of-factly.Every word she said was like a needle stabbing into Shayne's heart, making him feel unbearable pain.Yes, Aralyn married him not long after graduating.Back then, she was so innocent, thinking that marrying for love made her the happiest woman in the world. Her whole world revolved around him.But what happened later? Shayne betrayed her love. He deserved the consequences he faced now."Even if you're divorced, she should still care about you and consider your well-being," Charlotte continued.Shayne's voice sounded a bit desolate. "But she doesn't love me anymore, Mom. She has a new boyfriend now, someone much better than me."Shayne found it incredibly difficult to speak. "S

Julian sat down beside me. "What are you thinking about?"I looked at Julian. "Remember a while back, I told you that I wanted to draw a romance comic while I had the time?""Yeah?" Julian said, draping his arm around my shoulders.I felt a bit troubled. "Well, the comic is done now, but I don't have an extra account to post it."Hearing this, Julian finally understood what I meant. "So?"I stared at Julian. "I want to use your phone number to register accounts on various platforms and post the comic. But if you think this might damage your reputation, then forget it.""It won't," Julian said as he pulled out his phone and handed it to me. "Here, you do it yourself."I stared at the phone in front of me, stunned. "You're giving it to me just like that?"Logically, as a high-ranking CEO, his phone should contain countless private and confidential secrets.Julian chuckled and ruffled my hair. "What else would I do? You're my girlfriend and the woman I truly want to spend my life

"Don't worry. I won't regret it," I said seriously.…Maisy agreed to move into Zach's house to take care of him. She packed up her belongings early and was just about to call a car to help her move when she heard a knock on the door.Maisy opened the door, seeing Noah outside."Zach asked me to come and help you get your stuff," Noah said politely."Thank you so much. I was just thinking about what kind of car I'd need to get for all this stuff," Maisy said, relieved.Noah smiled. "Leave it to me."Maisy didn't have much to bring—almost everything was clothes.As for larger items, she didn't bring any. Zach's house already had everything. Bringing more would only take up space.Noah placed her suitcases in the trunk of the car and got into the driver's seat. Letting out a sigh, he said, "Zach's had it tough. He's only five years old, yet his dad doesn't want him anymore."When Maisy heard about what her grandson had gone through, she couldn't help but tear up."Exactly, I

Aralyn was the one who stayed by his side, silently supporting him and helping him achieve his success today.And what did he do in return?As soon as he made some money and his first love returned to the country, his mind was filled with nothing but Luna.Maisy looked down on him for it, though she didn't show it.Shayne quickly apologized, "Mom, I know I was wrong."Maisy, being an experienced and worldly woman, could easily detect the perfunctory tone in Shayne's words. "Hmph! Do you?" "Yes." Shayne nodded earnestly."I don't think so. If you truly regretted it, you wouldn't be sticking to Luna every day while ignoring your own son," Maisy said coldly.Shayne argued, "But have you ever considered why I'm doing this?"Maisy's dislike for him deepened when he tried making excuses. "No matter the reason, ignoring a child who can't take care of himself just proves that you're a scumbag. As for your relationships, I won't comment much."Previously, whenever Aralyn came to see

Shayne found Maisy's words laughable.He had originally planned just to teach Zach a lesson by waiting for him to run out of money and realize his mistake. Then, he would forgive Zach and continue to provide for him.But after Maisy's outburst, he felt as if he didn't want to care about Zach at all in the future."You said it yourself," Shayne said.Maisy nodded. "Yes."Zach still had money, anyway. It was enough for him to last a lifetime. That was why Maisy was confident to say such harsh words.Seeing this, Shayne picked up his phone and pointed at himself to start recording the video.Once he finished, he sent it to Maisy. "I hope you never regret this."Maisy checked the video. Upon confirming there were no issues with it, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't worry. I'll never regret it."The only regret she had was not supporting Aralyn when the latter had come home saying she wanted a divorce.It was at this moment that Maisy realized if Aralyn hadn't divorced Shayne

"She used to think that a woman always needed a man no matter what, so she kept hoping I'd reconcile with Shayne and live a good life with him. But after talking to Shayne, she realized that Shayne and his family weren't good people. And now, she supports my choice to have divorced Shayne.""That's great. It saves you from being unhappy in the future," Julian said.I sighed. "Yes. I have to work even harder to make money now!"Julian had originally come over to spend some time with me. But I dove back into work, and he watched my focused and determined demeanor with warmth and amusement.Just then, someone knocked on the door.Julian looked up. "Come in."Mark walked in and approached Julian, reporting on the progress of the comic, "Regarding the physical book, I've already reached an agreement with the publisher. It's expected to be published in just a few months.""That fast?" I asked, surprised.Mark smiled. "Yes. Since the market for the physical book hasn't been doing well

"Not at all. Mr. Hughes is quite well-known in our city. Many characters have been created based on him. If such baseless stories could impact Hughes Group's stock price, people would be unbelievably foolish," replied Mark."If it doesn't affect anything, then let's not clarify," I said, smiling.Julian asked in confusion, "Are you not afraid of being criticized?""At first, when I hadn't experienced this kind of thing, being criticized suddenly felt a bit unfair. I didn't do anything wrong, so why was I the one being targeted? But later, I figured it out. They're not my real-life friends and don't truly know me. Being swayed by public opinion is just human nature."In such situations, what I need to do is be clear about who I am, what I want, and whether what they're saying is true or not. If it's not true, there's no reason for me to take it to heart," I uttered calmly.Mark gave me a thumbs-up. "Impressive.""Thank you. Right now, people are attacking me because of how that co

Julian couldn't believe there were people as ridiculous as this. "She's the one who did something wrong, yet she fabricates lies about Lyn and me in her comic. And she wants me to help her produce merchandise? Do I look that easy to push around?""So, should I just reject Avery and tell her it can't be done for now?" Mark asked."When Luna's true nature is exposed in the future, those who originally supported her and bought the merchandise will definitely feel betrayed. If we produce the merchandise now and everyone demands a refund later, all the losses will fall on us," Julian stated.Mark nodded. "That's true. I'll go inform Avery right away.""Alright."…Mark left the office and immediately found Avery, who was standing by the hallway. "You haven't released that much content for your comic yet, and there aren't many readers. Producing merchandise now could result in significant losses for the company."Of course, he softened his words, as he couldn't tell Avery what Julian

"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
