A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 48
Zach couldn't figure it out.He only vaguely felt that everything seemed to have changed ever since his parents divorced.Zach returned to his room, sad. He took out his tablet and opened Facebook. The moment he logged in, he saw that Luna had just posted something.Curious, he clicked on it.It was a photo of Luna holding Mason. They were both smiling brightly, clearly having a great time at the amusement park.Zach was so sad that he started to cry. He was about to screenshot the post and send it to his dad, but the photo suddenly disappeared the next moment.…There were a lot of children at the amusement park. In the past, Julian was busy with work, so he rarely had the time to take Willow out to play. As such, the moment Willow saw all the attractions at the park, her eyes lit up. She held my hand and pranced around to take everything in.Eventually, she chose a small play area. She turned to Julian and said, "Daddy, I want to play here!"As Julian paid at the back, I a

"I didn't like listening to him."As I listened to Willow speak, I looked up and saw Luna's son, Mason, standing on the slide. He was looking at me.His gaze didn't look innocent and friendly. Instead, it held an unnatural maturity for his age. At that moment, it was filled with contempt toward me.I had originally wanted to keep my distance from them. Aside from gathering evidence to expose Luna's true nature, I never intended to come into contact with her again. However, they approached me on their own.Perhaps it was because whenever they provoked or bullied me in the past, I always endured it. They seemed to think I was easy to bully. They even bullied Willow.If I didn't retaliate, they might take it even further. I wiped the cold expression off my face and spoke gently to Willow. "But if you run away because people try to bully you, they'll bully you even harder. Understand?"Willow clearly didn't understand. She looked at Julian. "Daddy, is that right?"Julian nodded. "

"You're well aware of it, Luna," I emphasized each word.Luna left Rowan when the latter went bankrupt. She'd rather become a mistress just to be with Shayne, proving she couldn't live without money.If Shayne were to leave her, not only would she struggle with her son, but she would also become a mistress to other men and depend on them. However, they might not cherish and care for her like Shayne did. Hence, Luna would do anything to stay with Shayne."Aralyn!" Luna looked displeased, as she didn't expect I'd threaten her."I don't have time to waste," I calmly urged.Just as I turned to leave, Luna shouted through gritted teeth, "I'm sorry!"I turned back toward her. "Whoever did wrong should be the one to apologize, don't you think?"Luna glared at me, but for the sake of her and her son's future, she had no other choice.Luna pushed her son to the front and said, "Apologize to her."But her son refused. When I was about to leave with Willow, Luna slapped him twice acros

As his words fell, Luna stormed inside in a fury.As soon as she saw Zach, her anger flared up even more. She stormed toward him and slapped him. "I had to hit my son because of your mom, so I'm doing the same to you!"Zach, who had finally stopped crying, burst into tears again.Luna ignored him and headed straight for the kitchen. When she saw that the mac and cheese was still warm, she finally relaxed and returned to the living room.She took the food container Zach had used and handed it to her son. "Throw these out."Her son grabbed the containers and ran outside to toss them. Zach stared at them in confusion, not knowing what they were trying to do.Luna glanced at Zach out of the corner of her eye.Since he always complained to Shayne, and Shayne doted on Zach, Luna planned to ruin their bond little by little. She wanted Shayne to refuse to believe Zach when Zach told the truth one day.Luna's gaze softened when her beloved son returned. She beckoned him over with a sm

Zach stared at Luna in disbelief. He had been eating takeout and cold sandwiches. How could she say he was hard to manage?Shayne glanced at Zach before asking Luna gently, "What happened?"Afraid her act would be exposed, Luna leaned against Shayne's shoulder. "Since Zach has a sensitive stomach, I cooked mac and cheese for him this morning. But he refused to eat it."On the verge of tears, Zach shouted, "She's lying!"She just ordered takeout for him this morning! She didn't cook at all!Shayne pushed Luna away gently and went to sit on the couch. He then motioned to Zach. "Come here. Tell me what you had this morning."Feeling even more aggrieved, Zach approached and recounted everything that had happened that morning in detail. By the end, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore. "She left without taking me and then hit me when she got back."Shayne didn't respond immediately. Instead, he turned to Luna and asked, "What about you? Do you have anything to explain?"Luna bit

It piqued Shayne's interest."I think she might've married someone else," Luna said cautiously.Shayne scoffed, completely dismissing her claim. "That's impossible!"Everyone in their circle knew how deeply Aralyn loved him. She had given up her career and moved far away to marry him. Throughout their many years of marriage, she had never voiced a single complaint.Someone like her would still think about him even after they divorced. She couldn't have possibly married someone else.Shayne was convinced that Luna was just testing him on purpose."I know the girl who called Aralyn 'Mommy.' She's Mason's classmate."Shayne stared at Luna."If you don't believe me, why don't you join me on Monday when I take Mason to school?"Initially, Shayne wanted to refuse. But after giving it a thought, he nodded. "Sure."…With all the side dishes prepared, it was time for Julian to showcase his skills. He started by asking everyone's preferences. "Willow, how do you like your steak?""W

Julian took the book and examined it.Willow looked up at him expectantly. "Is it good?"Julian fell silent. His sense of aesthetics wasn't refined enough to appreciate entirely pink drawings. But when he met Willow's hopeful gaze, he hesitated for a long moment before nodding. "Yes."Willow finally felt satisfied. She packed all her books into her backpack, checking repeatedly to ensure she didn't forget a single one. Only after making sure everything was there did she zip it up.She then sat down to enjoy the steak Julian had cooked for her.The well-done steak was juicy and tender. She only had one bite, but she couldn't stop praising Julian. "Daddy, your cooking is as amazing as ever!"Julian accepted her compliment. "Thank you."Willow noticed that I hadn't yet tried the steak and urged me, "Mommy, you have to try it!"Even though she was just a little girl, she loved sharing, whether it was the food she enjoyed or the happiness she felt.Under her watchful gaze, I cut of

Even if Zach was in the wrong, Shayne would still defend him unconditionally. Luna's mind was racing. It seemed she needed to be patient instead of rushing things. Shayne might indulge Zach at first. But as time passed, Shayne would undoubtedly grow tired of Zach.As she pinched Zach's cheek, her tone softened. "I promise to treat you just like I treat Mason from now on, okay?"Zach nodded eagerly. "Okay!"Shayne patted Luna's hand, silently asking her to wait for him. He then put Zach down. "Go eat."Zach ran to the dining room cheerfully.Luna cast Shayne a glance before turning back to walk into the bedroom.Shayne closed the door and hugged her from behind. "Luna, he's just a kid. Don't take it to heart."Luna snorted coldly. "But he's the one at fault.""But you shouldn't keep it going and let him starve, right?"Luna didn't reply."I know you're not satisfied with this. Tell me what you want, and I'll make it up to you."Luna turned around to look at Shayne. "Hire a

As soon as he finished speaking, the server brought over a large bowl of broth fondue and placed it on the table. "Enjoy your meal," he said with a smile."Thank you!" I picked up a piece of the beef. The crunchy and tender texture was simply irresistible.I ate several big bites in a row, only to notice that Julian still hadn't started eating. Curious, I asked, "Are you not going to eat?""Of course I am," Julian said, picking up his cutlery.…Shayne returned to his office, thinking about the things Aralyn had said. It dawned on him that he had indeed made far too many mistakes.Ever since he'd married Aralyn, he had taken her for granted because she was too sensible and understanding. He hadn't even noticed how much she had suffered.At this moment, Shayne was desperate to divorce Luna and make amends to Aralyn.Resolute, he called Luna."Yes? Miss me?" Luna's sweet voice came through the phone."I'm sorry." After saying those words, Shayne felt a sense of relief.Why was

"So, you think I should pay for every meal Julian and I have together?" I countered.The people around us started whispering, all saying that Amber was being shameless.Amber was so furious that she nearly lost her composure. "That's not the point! The point is my son refuses to support us because of you!"Standing up, Julian took out the bank transaction statements he had specifically asked Mark to print earlier. "Why don't you tell everyone how much you spend each month?"Amber had always gotten away with this kind of behavior before, so she never expected Julian to fight back this time.She froze on the spot.Julian unfolded the statements. To make sure everyone could see, he even handed out a few copies to the crowd.The onlookers opened the papers. The monthly expenses amounted to over five million. Then, they looked back at Amber, thinking she was being unreasonable.They thought she was being ungrateful by making a scene here when she received that much money; she hadn't

Mark didn't even think before replying, "Well, the company has a rule—if you complete three days' work in one day, the remaining two days are vacation."I found it a bit hard to believe. "Does such a great company really exist?"Mark teased with a smile, "Well, you've seen one now. The average price for these peripheral products is ten dollars, and your royalty margin is still 15%. The company just decided to spend a large sum of money to boost traffic."If all goes as planned, the sales of these peripheral products should break records day by day. We're worried that when the demand surges, production might not keep up."So, we're planning to stock up in advance to avoid running out of inventory when the comic goes viral. You just sit back and wait for the royalty money to roll in."When I heard that, I couldn't help but anticipate it. "Thank you.""You're welcome."With that, he left, not daring to glance at Julian.Julian followed him. "Help me print out the bank transfer rec

"If you had even a shred of sense and thought about everything you did to me, you couldn't possibly think I still have the slightest attachment to you."Shayne slammed the table and stood up. "Is this about me making you sleep with Rowan?"I leaned back on the couch and looked up at him. "Is that the only thing?"Shayne acted as if he couldn't hear me. "But I don't care about it anymore!""Heh." I realized I shouldn't have come to talk to him at all.Seeing me get up, Shayne hurriedly ran in front of me. "Aralyn…"I ignored him and walked straight past. Glancing back at his dejected figure, I calmly said, "I've always been thankful that I chose to leave you."…Back in the office, Julian, who had been focused on work, set his tasks aside and approached me. "Are you okay?"I nodded. "I'm fine. I just don't know what got into him. He suddenly said he regrets the divorce as if it would make any difference had he refused back then."I didn't bother to hide the disdain in my eyes.

"Strictly speaking, she's not an employee of Hughes Group," Mark said in a friendly manner.Shayne frowned. Seeing that this approach wasn't working, he simply stated his reason for coming, "I want to see her."Mark smiled politely. "You can call her and ask if she's willing to meet you."Mr. Pearce, I'm just an employee. Please don't make things difficult for me."Shayne stared at Mark. "She blocked me.""Then I'm sorry. I can't help you," Mark uttered in a professional tone.Shayne tried to bypass Mark to go find Aralyn, but Mark stepped forward to block him.Just then, the office door opened.…I stood at the door, looking at Shayne.Shayne looked at me. "Aralyn.""Don't say my name as if we're close," I said coldly, staring at him in disdain. "We're nothing more than strangers."For once, Shayne's expression showed sadness.But I didn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy. Instead, I found him pretentious and turned my gaze away.Mark stepped up to me and whispered, "D

Julian then noticed that, in addition to the commonly seen merchandise on the market, the applicants had also created some everyday products that hadn't been made into merchandise before. "Very professional," he commented, quite satisfied."Yes. Now that we've hired people for both the merchandise and comic departments, if all goes smoothly, we'll be able to produce the rest of the merchandise within the next couple of days. I think the comic's followers aren't growing fast enough."So, I'm suggesting the finance department allocate more funds to the promotions team. After all, early-stage promotion mainly relies on spending money," Mark voiced his opinions.Julian, who never lacked money, replied, "Approved."It was because of Aralyn that Mark learned just how many ways there were to make money in the comic industry.And the prospects looked so promising."There are very few applicants for the translation department, which handles international promotions, but I'll keep an eye

In the office, I started working seriously.…Julian walked out of the office and went to a secluded corner, dialing Amber's number."Yes? What's the matter?" Amber asked."Didn't I tell you not to contact Aralyn unless there was a reason? Looks like you still haven't learned your lesson. Do I really have to cut off all of the family's living expenses?"Each word from Julian was colder than the last."I'm your mother! I'm not happy with Aralyn as my daughter-in-law. Can't I say something about it?" Amber asked sharply, sounding as if she were perfectly justified.But Julian wasn't buying it at all. "No, you can't."Amber was almost choked speechless by Julian's words, but she knew Julian meant what he said."You don't even have the right to cut off our living expenses. Don't forget that we're the ones who handed the company to you. You're enjoying the results of our hard work, and yet you don't want to support us? How do you think that's fair?"Julian sneered, "Mom, I guess y

Willow lifted her chin. "It's a secret."Lilia and Gabriel immediately clapped. "You're amazing, Willow. You're able to keep a secret at such a young age."Willow smiled shyly.After exercising and taking a bath, the whole family sat at the dining table for breakfast.Now that Willow could talk to her grandparents, she couldn't wait to tell them everything as she talked non-stop. "Grandpa, Grandma, the chef we hired makes really delicious food. You can ask him to make anything, and he'll make it for you. Don't be shy!"Lilia still felt as if she was dreaming. Just yesterday, they had only suggested something to Willow, and she had already improved now."Alright," said Gabriel.Lilia suddenly thought of something and quickly said, "To celebrate you finally being able to chat with us, why don't we take you out to have some fun after school?""I think I can't," Willow uttered immediately. Lilia looked at Willow in confusion. "Why not?""I have to go home and train with my coa

Willow lay in bed, with Lilia sitting beside her.Willow's eyes shimmered. "Grandpa, Grandma, are you still sad now?"Afraid she hadn't expressed herself clearly enough, she quickly added, "Mom's been gone for so many years...""We're still a bit sad. But it's getting better now that it has been so long," Lilia replied emotionally.Willow looked a little downcast. "I feel the same. Mom was so kind and gentle to me. I really loved her, so I could never understand why she left me."And her father as well. The two people she loved deeply left her suddenly.Just thinking about it made Willow so upset that tears welled up."It's okay, Willow. You have a new mom now," Gabriel said, not wanting Willow to cry.Though Willow still felt sad, her emotions started to improve after she heard Gabriel's words. "Yes, this mom also treats me really well."…In the morning, Willow woke up and found her grandparents gone.She panicked so much that she didn't even change her clothes as she slip
