Charlotte realized she had misspoken and immediately apologized. "I'm sorry! My son truly isn't worthy of your daughter!"When she saw that Amber was satisfied, she continued the topic. "But who would've thought that not long after Aralyn got married, she became pregnant? And then she did absolutely nothing at home, relying entirely on my son to support her."Just think about it. My son faces so much stress at work every day. Instead of finding a job to help relieve some of that burden, all she thought about was staying home and enjoying herself! It was hard to handle a woman like her!"Since Julian was the primary breadwinner of the Hughes family, following Charlotte's logic, wasn't it also a major crime for the rest of them to enjoy their lives at home?Amber suppressed her dissatisfaction.Initially, she thought she and Charlotte might share common ground. But after hearing Charlotte's comments, she felt as if Charlotte was here to provoke her, perhaps even hinting that Amber h

"You've also suffered a lot before because of Aralyn, haven't you? When the time comes, you can let it all out."As Charlotte spoke, she patted Amber on the shoulder. "In a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, you have the upper hand. Aralyn will surely tread carefully and treat you with respect. "When your relationship improves, your son will be happy to see you and Aralyn getting along peacefully."Sophia noticed her mother wavering and found it amusing as she glanced elsewhere. She had been right—her mother was easily swayed.Charlotte stood up. "I've got other things to do, so I'll be heading off.""Okay. My mom and I have things to do, so we won't be seeing you out." Sophia could see right through Charlotte's intentions and didn't bother being polite."Alright."…After Charlotte left, Sophia pulled a small stool in front of Amber and advised her patiently, "Mom, you'd better keep your distance from her in the future."At first, Amber also thought some of what

"She probably also tried to cause trouble for Aralyn but was embarrassed because Aralyn didn't give in and fought back. When she found out she couldn't mistreat Aralyn herself, she came to provoke you into doing it instead."Sophia held Amber's hand. "If I ever got divorced in the future and ended up with a former mother-in-law like this…"Amber instantly flew into a rage. "Then I would absolutely go and give that lady a good beating!"After speaking, she suddenly realized something and looked up at Sophia.Sophia smiled. "You absolutely can't follow her example."Amber nodded seriously, saying, "Thank goodness you're here. Otherwise, I might have really been convinced by her. Charlotte is truly a vicious person."Sophia nodded. "That's right.""She wants to use me, huh?" Amber huffed in anger."No, I need to think of a way to get back at her, or that old hag will really take me for a fool!"Sophia watched as Amber stormed off before lounging on the couch. She picked up her ph

"We're siblings. There's no need to be this formal," Sophia said sheepishly."Your company is short on business partners, right?" Julian asked.Sophia didn't know why Julian suddenly shifted the topic to work but answered honestly, "Yeah.""Do you have time now?"Thinking about it, Sophia realized she wasn't busy at this hour. "Of course, I do!""I was planning to collaborate with Shayne for a few projects. But I evaluated them carefully and thought it would work just as well for your company. Come to my place. We can discuss it properly."Hearing that, Sophia almost jumped with joy. "I'll be there right away!""Alright."…Hanging up, she dashed upstairs happily and burst into Amber's room. "Mom, great news!" she exclaimed."I told Julian about what Charlotte did, and he gave me several projects!" Sophia was overjoyed. She hugged Amber tightly. "See? As long as you're on Julian's good side, there are endless rewards. But if you go against him, there's no good outcome.""If

Eric had already picked Pamela up. He smiled and said to Ximena, "Let me. You should rest."Ximena didn't insist and replied sincerely, "Thank you.""You're welcome."All of us went to the dining room to eat. The original small dining table could no longer accommodate so many people, so we split into two tables.Pamela and Willow sat at the same table. They huddled together, chattering nonstop from the beginning of the meal.Every now and then, they would pause in confusion and ask others for help.The house was incredibly lively.I really liked this kind of atmosphere. Back when I lived at Shayne's house, Shayne was always too busy to spend time with me.Even after Zach was born, Shayne only stayed with me when Zach was too difficult to take care of.As Zach grew older and learned to eat by himself, Shayne would take Zach somewhere else to eat in the evenings.I was left alone, sitting in the dining room and eating the food I had cooked myself.Back then, I never thought th

"Of course," Victoria replied calmly.With the teacher's permission, Willow immediately grabbed Pamela's hand and went upstairs with her.The kids ran up the stairs excitedly, completely leaving their fear of the teacher behind.Victoria kept a serious expression as she said to Julian, "Don't worry. Since you've paid me, I'll make sure they learn something.""Your willingness to teach them this knowledge is already more than enough for me," Julian replied.He remembered that Victoria was a top expert in her field—someone people couldn't hire with money alone. It was only because she was short on funds recently that they were lucky enough to get her help. Otherwise, even people like him wouldn't even have the chance to meet her.Hearing Julian's trust in her, Victoria finally relaxed a little. "Thank you."The kids came running back downstairs with their toy airplanes.Victoria used the simplest terms and the most straightforward explanations to teach them about the principles.

"If it's not right, just end it. Clinging will only hurt us more."I smiled. "That's right. Before letting go, you'll always deceive yourself, telling yourself that if you just hold on, things will get better. But in reality, only after letting go and embracing a new life will you realize that every day you hesitated was pure torment."As I said this, I lowered my gaze to my toes. "I think what's better about me now compared to before is that I've become braver." Ximena, having gone through similar experiences, was deeply moved. "Indeed. During my marriage, when my husband cheated on me, I felt miserable. Even the people around me tried to brainwash me, saying it's normal for men to cheat. Some even said his infidelity was my fault."Ximena stared ahead, sighing. "But after the divorce, I realized he was the one at fault. It had nothing to do with me. In this life, you only need to be responsible for yourself. Other people are not our responsibility."…In the study, Sophia co

"But you're different. I'll be stricter with you because you're my sister."Sophia understood that Julian only wanted her to take her projects seriously. Ideally, through working on these projects, she could also learn a lot.That way, even if Julian stopped collaborating with her in the future, she could rely on her own abilities to find a way forward."No problem," she replied unhesitatingly.Julian handed a stack of documents to Sophia. "Take these and draft collaboration proposals for these projects. Then give them to me. I'll review them for you."Sophia took the documents happily. "Got it."With Julian helping to hone her skills, it probably wouldn't take long before her abilities became top-tier in the industry.Sophia could hardly hide her smile. "Don't worry, Julian. I'll give 200% effort on these projects! It's late now. I'll head home first!""Alright."Julian watched Sophia leave, then glanced at the clock. It was already 9:30 pm.…After putting Willow to sleep,

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

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
