"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,

I wasn't used to being in a healthy relationship.But I had to admit. Julian being willing to communicate with me about these things made me feel incredibly happy.I looked up at Julian. "Alright. Tell me, then."Chuckling, Julian said, "She's my younger sister. We also had an older brother, but the age gap between us was too big, so we couldn't really play together. But since she and I were closer in age, our relationship had always been stronger. Plus, she was really cute when she was little, and I was always so proud of her."As he recounted these memories, there was a warmth in his tone that I had never heard before."I would even brag about her. I would tell people I had such an adorable sister and they didn't."I hadn't expected Julian to have such a vivid past, and I found it interesting. Instead of saying anything, I just watched him quietly.The humor in Julian's tone gradually faded. "That harmonious relationship was destroyed the year my brother passed away—by my mo

"Sophia happened to be at the house and overheard what Charlotte was saying, and she thought it was absurd. Since my mom was genuinely considering it, after Charlotte left, Sophia immediately sat down with my mom to reason with her. "She told my mom not to believe anything Charlotte said. It took a long while for her to finally convince my mom. After confirming that my mom had completely given up on the idea of going against you, she called me to report everything."Julian stroked my cheek with his thumb. "Lyn, ever since you came into my life, it feels as if only good things have been happening to me."I didn't argue. Instead, I looked up at him and said seriously, "Then you need to cherish me."Holding my face in both his hands, Julian slowly leaned in to kiss me.His warm lips pressed against mine.I closed my eyes, savoring his kiss.He leaned closer to me and whispered, "It wasn't easy to win your heart, Lyn. Of course, I'll never let you go."Shayne showed up at Hughes G

Shayne's heart felt unbearably heavy.Tears fell, one after another, hitting the ground.Shayne's vision blurred. He wiped his tears away, afraid he would lose sight of Aralyn.…Zach returned home.Maisy heard the sound of the door and immediately rushed to the entrance with a cheerful smile. "You're back." Looking at Maisy's bright, smiling face, Zach felt a wave of unfamiliar emotion.Ever since his parents divorced, no one had greeted him with such warmth.Zach was touched. Not wanting to disappoint Maisy, he replied, "Yes, I am."Maisy took Zach's backpack and sighed. "I prepared the mac and cheese; Daphne made the rest of the dishes. She's amazing at cooking. I was watching her the whole time. I don't know how, but her dishes just look more appetizing even though they're the same ingredients."Daphne Harper was Zach's new tutor. Lewis had resigned a while ago due to personal reasons.Zach loved living like this—being with family, where there wasn't always much to talk

Zach lowered his head unconsciously.Maisy sighed, reaching out to tousle his soft hair. "Silly child, you need to remember that no matter what, I will always stand by your side."Zach met Maisy's gaze, and for a moment, he felt an overwhelming urge to cry.He nodded heavily. "Thank you, Granny. You're the best to me!"After saying that, Zach couldn't help but feel puzzled.Maisy treated him so well, so why had he been distant from her before?Was it because of Charlotte?Charlotte often said awful things to him, like how Aralyn and Maisy were from a poor family.She claimed the two of them couldn't earn money and just wanted to latch onto their family like parasites.But now Zach realized the flaws in Charlotte's words.He remembered that when Aralyn and Shayne first got together, Shayne wasn't wealthy either.It was only with Aralyn's support that Shayne made money slowly.Yet, after Shayne became successful, Charlotte seemed to forget the years of hardship she and Shayne

Zach smiled and explained, "Because I want to be ahead of the other kids. If I finish reviewing all the elementary school materials in advance, I won't feel so much pressure when I get to elementary school."These were things Daphne had told him, and he thought she made a lot of sense."While others are struggling to learn in elementary school, I'll already be preparing for middle school and high school. This way, when I actually get to middle and high school, things will be so much easier for me."While others are buried in homework, working hard to understand things, I'll already know everything and have plenty of time to play."Listening to Zach, Maisy couldn't help but feel that what he said made sense."You're growing up, Zach," she commented smilingly.Zach just smiled before waving to Maisy and walking toward his bedroom.Maisy watched his figure disappear."What a sensible child," she thought.It was a pity that Aralyn and Zach were no longer together. Otherwise, when

At that time, he had been brimming with confidence, believing that Luna was his true love. He thought that successfully being with the person he had secretly admired for years would make his future as sweet as honey.But the reality was completely different from his fantasies.Shayne let out a helpless, bitter laugh.He could only maintain a certain distance from Luna as if getting even slightly closer would bring him discomfort.By the time he realized this, it was already too late to regret it.No…Shayne closed his eyes.He still had a chance.Julian also had a first love. When his first love reappeared in his life, Julian would undoubtedly abandon Aralyn for her.At that moment, Shayne could show up in front of Aralyn, and she would surely be moved by him.What he needed to do now was to occasionally show up in Aralyn's life, ensuring that she wouldn't forget him. This thought had surfaced countless times in Shayne's mind. But he didn't feel annoyed by it in the sligh

Shayne roughly understood what Luna meant but didn't show it. "Oh?""I want to invest all that money into my work. If the marketing is effective, then everyone across the country will know how much money you spent and how much effort you put into promoting my work. This way, you will have a better reputation."Aralyn would also realize how generous he could be to the people he cared about."How about 50 million?" Shayne raised the amount decisively.Luna's heart raced wildly. She had never imagined that she only needed to say a few words to make Shayne willing to add another 40 million.But she didn't rush to accept as a crazy idea flashed through her mind, making her heart nearly leap out of her chest. Cold sweat even formed on her forehead.She feared that if she stated the figure she had in mind, Shayne would think she was too greedy and refuse to give her anything.But she wanted to give it a shot.If Shayne agreed, she would have a fortune in her hands.Luna feigned nonch

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
