Chapter 496

Author: Walking on Clouds
Mark put down his phone and explained, "Besides, the price of the comic is very affordable, so almost anyone can buy it. That's why the sales are a little higher compared to other merchandise."

I put my hands on my face and exclaimed, "These results are amazing!"

"They are," Mark agreed. "I'm guessing Luna and her team will stir up some trouble later. On top of that, with our own marketing efforts and overseas sales, our will definitely be impressive regardless if it's for the merchandise or the comic."

I smiled and asked, "So, I'm just waiting to get paid?"

Mark glanced at me. "Speaking of getting paid… You might want to check your balance. Today's payday."

As he spoke, he looked at Julian, as if seeking confirmation. "Right?"

Julian didn't deny it. "That's correct."

Hearing this, I quickly checked my account balance, and my eyes widened in disbelief.

Before taxes, the amount was over three million dollars. After taxes, I received more than 1.6 million dollars.

    Before I could respond, Mark let out a pained groan from the side. "You two are so lovey-dovey. Have you ever considered how I feel?"I turned to him and asked, "Do you not have a girlfriend yet?"Mark chuckled bitterly. "Obviously not. Spending every day glued to Mr. Hughes' side and working overtime leaves me no time for a girlfriend."I looked at Julian. "Should we give him some time off so he can find a girlfriend when things are less hectic?"Julian didn't object. "Sure."Mark pondered for a moment but shook his head. "Forget it. For now, I just want to focus on making money."Julian didn't press further and simply said, "Having more money in hand does give you more confidence no matter what you're doing."Mark smiled sheepishly....Shayne booked an appointment with a psychologist. He was seated in the psychologist's office, looking at him.The psychologist was eating, and they stared at each other in awkward silence. Finally, the doctor said, "I didn't expect you to ar

    The psychologist didn't answer Shayne's question directly. Instead, he asked, "Are you willing to spend money on Aralyn now?"Shayne was stumped by the question. He thought carefully about what the psychologist said.Spend money on Aralyn? How much?The psychologist continued, "You said it would make you upset to see her with someone else. But compared to Luna marrying someone else, which would hurt more?"After hearing the psychologist's questions, Shayne suddenly realized that he had never thought about these things before.The psychologist added, "Once you understand the questions I just asked, you need to figure out whether you truly want her back and remarry her because you love her or if it's purely because you can't stand to see her living a good life."The psychologist continued, "Or perhaps it's because her care made you feel comfortable. But in your eyes, her efforts were only worth that of a housekeeper's, so you're only willing to give her a housekeeper's wage. As for

    Julian quickly skimmed through the storyline. Although he wasn't familiar with romance comics, he felt that this comic might yield better results. He tapped his fingers lightly on the computer, saying nothing.Watching his serious expression, I felt a bit nervous and asked, "What is it? Is it not good?"No," Julian denied. "On the contrary, it's excellent.""Huh?" I replied, surprised.If it was so good, then why did he look so serious?Julian turned to me and said, "Take your time drawing this comic. Once the content for the first volume is ready, we'll release the animation and the publication simultaneously. The company will arrange for a major promotional campaign. We'll fight to make your comic the best-selling work of the year."I looked at his confident expression. For reasons unknown, I suddenly believed him. I couldn't help but smile as I replied, "Okay."Julian raised his hand and gently patted my head. His usually cold eyes were now full of warmth.He said unhurriedl

    When the supervisor passed by her, he handed her the phone casually.Alice couldn't imagine who might be looking for him. She took the phone casually and asked in confusion, "Do you know them?"The supervisor shook his head. "No."Alice hesitated. "Then should I go downstairs to check?""Yeah."…As soon as Alice stepped out of the elevator and reached the entrance, she saw Joseph standing not far away. Her face instantly turned ashen.The secretary had even reminded her that Joseph missed her at noon.Of course, he would come looking for her.How could she have forgotten?Alice turned around without a word and headed back toward the elevator."Alice!" Joseph called hurriedly.Hearing his voice, Alice quickened her pace, afraid Joseph would catch up to her."I know I was wrong, but can't you give me another chance?" Joseph asked painfully.Joseph kept shouting her name when he saw Alice had no intention of looking back.Alice felt embarrassed. Hesitating for a while, she

    "He hasn't reached rock bottom yet, it seems," said Melody."Exactly.""When we get off work later, I'll check if he's waiting at the door. If he is, you can head to the underground parking lot. If he's not, we can just leave through the main entrance together.""Thank you. You're so kind to me. I love you." Alice hugged Melody, touched.Melody laughed. "You're welcome."The two of them chatted for a long time until their supervisor came to urge them back to work. Reluctantly, they let go of each other.Before starting work, Alice leaned over to Melody and whispered, "Let's talk more after work."Melody gave a small nod. "Sure."…After Luna got home, she sat in the living room, deep in thought.It seemed every time she had Shayne step in for her, Shayne ended up being humiliated.If that was the case, she could only find another way.After all, there was no way Luna could sit by and watch Aralyn live a better life than her. She went on WhatsApp and clicked on Rowan's con

    Was there anything better in this world than seeing someone she hated being pulled down from their pedestal while she rose higher and higher?Clearly not.Rowan looked at the messages on his phone, and every word confirmed that he had guessed correctly—Luna was just this malicious.She hadn't even considered the consequences of posting these videos online. She had never even thought about him.Rowan closed his eyes, not wanting to reply to Luna anymore.He had never imagined that Luna could become this cruel after their breakup.When Luna didn't get a reply from Rowan, she immediately called him."Hello?""I don't want to talk to you right now," Rowan said, though he didn't know why his heart ached so much."Then just send me what I asked for," Luna said impatiently.Rowan knew she was pregnant, and he couldn't—and shouldn't—lose his temper with her. But he couldn't help himself. "Have you thought about what will happen after you post it? People will see me too. What will t

    "When do you have time?"I glanced at the time on my phone—it was almost time to pick Willow up.After hesitating for a moment, I asked, "Can I go sign tomorrow? I have to pick Willow up today.""Sure," said Mark.I breathed a sigh of relief.Julian had been busy all afternoon and had just finished his work. He looked at me and asked, "You're going to the factory tomorrow?""Yes," I replied, suddenly feeling a bit out of sorts. Ever since moving into Julian's house, we'd been practically glued to each other every day.Now, the thought of being apart... left me feeling empty.I looked up at Julian.He had been very busy with work recently too, so he probably couldn't find the time to accompany me.I felt even more downcast.Julian noticed my reluctance and smiled, saying, "Once we both get busy, we probably won't have time to think about each other."I thought about it carefully and realized he was right. "That's true. Should I have the driver take me there tomorrow?""Sure

    I looked down in confusion and asked, "What is it?"Pamela bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Some kids in our class have been bullying Willow lately. Even though I tried to stop them and told them it was wrong, nobody wanted to listen to me."Pamela lowered her head guiltily as if she was disappointed in herself for not being able to protect Willow.I crouched down and held her hand. "Pamela, you're amazing for standing up against unfair situations."Pamela looked at me in disbelief. "You don't blame me for not protecting Willow?"I chuckled. "You're also just a kid."Pamela tilted her head, seemingly unable to understand what I meant."It's normal to not know how to handle such situations. The fact that you told me about it already means so much to me. If you hadn't told me, I might still not know what Willow has been going through at school."Pamela blinked a few times, and her expression relaxed. "I'm happy for Willow because you care about her."Jus

    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.

    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
