The phone rang the moment the door of the bedroom closed. Julian took a look at the screen, seeing that it was a call from Shayne. With a blank expression on his face, he picked up the call and said, "What do you want?" Shayne sounded nervous as he said, "Give the phone to Aralyn. I need to tell her something." Julian replied in an icy voice, "She's putting Willow to sleep now. I don't think she'll have time to reply to you." Laughing, Shayne asked, "Aren't you in love with Aralyn? How could you let her even lift a finger?" "I don't love Luna, but I still hired someone to take care of her." Shayne was elated at his displeasure. "It seems that your love for Aralyn doesn't run that deep." Julian knew that Shayne was mocking him for not treating Aralyn well. However, he paid him no mind as he merely said, "Don't you know that Aralyn loves children? She'll only work after Willow has been to school. Then, when school ends, she'll devote all her free time to stay with her." S

If Shayne had given her even a bit of money, Aralyn wouldn't have been so miserable. Julian continued, "When Aralyn is with us, she doesn't have to do a single thing with her child by her side. She gets 80 thousand dollars just for that."Yet, back then when she had to do everything for you, how much money did you give her every month?" Shayne became upset and frustrated. "Does this have anything to do with money?" "Of course, it does," Julian slowly said. "When she was in your home, she didn't ask for anything, not even money. In the end, she ended up with nothing to her name. "Aralyn is an adult who managed to gain experience after losing so much. I'm sure she understands that giving so much to someone is useless. So, I know that she wants her efforts to be reciprocated in the future." Then, Julian asked, "How many people do you think are willing to pay my price?" Shayne mulled it over before coming up with nothing. He felt even more disturbed. Julian confidently said,

Shayne went quiet. Julian persistently snapped. "If you were more generous and spent more money on her, she would've felt your love for her. She wouldn't have abandoned you. You wouldn't regret it as much as you do now, and you definitely wouldn't be so upset." Shayne grew even more uncomfortable. He wanted to tell Julian that he was wrong, but there was a small voice at the back of his mind telling him that the latter was telling the truth. Aralyn had been disappointed in him, but she had given him another chance for her child's sake. If he had treated her decently, she would've forced herself to stay together with him. She would do it just to give Zach a complete childhood. So, Shayne merely pursed his lips, unable to formulate a proper answer. Julian then slowly replied, "There's nothing else we can talk about other than work. Why don't you call back tomorrow morning? Or…" Shayne felt a small glint of hope. "Or what?" Julian calmly said, "Or you could just tell me

For some reason, Luna found it hard for herself to calm down. Although she had long stopped caring about Rowan for a long time and viewed him as her second choice, she knew that Rowan still loved her. He was willing to do so many things for her. However, Rowan had rejected her today, making her feel displeased. Luna only felt calm after soothing herself for a long time. She no longer wanted to contact Rowan, even more so to waste her time on him. Then, she sent a message to Julian that said, "Do you really love Aralyn that much?" Even if Rowan felt nothing for her, he still couldn't erase all traces of her in his heart for good. That was the most devastating part for him. Seeing the difference between Luna's attitude toward him and Julian, Rowan couldn't help but feel upset. He tapped on the keyboard a few times, typing the same message over and over again. His message was long, but he still deleted it in the end. Without waiting for Julian's reply, Luna continued to se

It didn't matter if the man already had a girlfriend. Even if the man told her that he wasn't interested in her, she would still do her best to make herself seem like a potential girlfriend. Rowan smiled bitterly. He would always be the one to make the first move in their relationship. Taking a deep breath, he sent her a message. "Do you know why I haven't tried dating anyone else?" Luna seemed reluctant to answer him. "Why?" Rowan gave her a serious reply. "I have so many women around me. They're all different. Some of them are smart, some are pure, and there are some who are pretty and elegant."His next message read, "However, among all of the women I've met, I never felt the urge to date them. That includes you."Luna looked at the message Julian sent her and felt a sharp twinge in her heart. What did Aralyn have that she didn't? Rowan continued to send messages. "Whenever I talk to Aralyn, I get the feeling that I want to spend the rest of my life with her. It's su

Charlotte was dumbstruck. Then, Zach added, "Now, you, Dad, and Luna are a family. Understood? "As for me, it's up to me to decide who I'll call family. It has nothing to do with you, and you have no right to interfere in my decision."As for what you said earlier…" Zach trailed off into silence before he resumed solemnly, "I think Granny is a very nice person. She has never asked me for money. In fact, she gives it to me."Granny is completely different from how you've described her. So, stop trying to drive us apart!"Charlotte couldn't believe what she was hearing. Maisy was flustered. "I knew it. It has always seemed strange to me how Zach never wanted to be close to me for no apparent reason. So, it was you who had been driving a wedge between us, you old hag!"Maisy stormed over and stopped in front of Charlotte. "If you so much as tell Zach more nonsense in the future, I will cut your tongue out!"Charlotte looked at Maisy and snapped, "Am I wrong? Have I not been tel

"You don't have what it takes to be Zach's grandma." Maisy retorted instantly. "Zach has cut ties with the Pearce family. Try disturbing him again, Charlotte, and you will know the meaning of pain. You have been warned!"At the next moment, Maisy led Zach into the living room and slammed the door. Charlotte yelled at the door, "How dare you talk about me that way?"Maisy heard it and opened the door again. "Why wouldn't I?""I was humiliated and infuriated because of Aralyn!" Charlotte glared at Maisy with unblinking eyes. "She and Shayne are divorced, and yet she kept picking fights with Luna. She was very rude to her."Aralyn even called the police on me when I stood up for Luna!"Maisy snickered. "If the police arrested you, that means you did something illegal. Aralyn didn't do anything wrong. How dare you say that she was mean to Luna?"Maisy sneered and continued, "Look at yourself, you old hag. Think about the kind of people you and Luna are. "Here's the answer. You're

"Yeah." Zach picked up his cutlery and tucked into his meal. Meanwhile, Maisy put some food on his plate with a bright smile on her face. Zach looked at his grandmother before turning his gaze to Noah and Daphne. All of a sudden, he felt happy and blessed. At the very least, he was still surrounded by this many people who loved him. Then, Zach lowered his head and wolfed down his food wordlessly. …The next morning, Willow woke up. A bright smile appeared on her face when she saw Aralyn lying next to her. She raised her chubby arm and traced the latter's eyebrows, eyes, and nose. Then, she couldn't stop herself from chuckling. Was this how it felt to have a mother? Willow could see her mom whenever she wanted. It felt like the hollow part of her soul was filled up snugly with something warm and fuzzy. She couldn't help but feel happy.Willow didn't immediately get out of bed and get changed. Instead, she lay quietly as she gazed at Aralyn, savoring her private moment with h

Seeing that no matter what they said, Luna remained unmoved, Shannon slowed her speech. "We're actually here to ask you to get back with Rowan.""Sorry, that thought has completely left my mind," replied Luna."If that's why you're here, then you should leave. I have work to do, so I won't be chatting with you any longer."Luna walked to the door and opened it. "You can go now."Shannon looked at Patrick.Patrick said coolly, "I don't even care that you're pregnant with Shayne's child anymore. In fact, if you get back together with Rowan, we can treat this child as one of our own. I hope you don't miss out on such a great opportunity.""That's not a great opportunity for me. When I didn't have a job back then, I thought being a housewife was a good life. I didn't have to worry about making money—I just had to take care of the household. But I realized it wasn't like that at all."Earning my own money is much better than relying on someone else to give it to me. This way, I don't

"But I remember his place is pretty far from mine," Luna said, puzzled.Patrick sat down on the couch, looking at Luna. "Mainly, we figured since we came all this way to see Rowan, we might as well check in on you, too."Luna was even more confused. "Check in on me? Why?"Instead of answering her, Patrick asked, "You're pregnant."Luna glanced down at her stomach, then replied, "So what? I've been divorced from Rowan for so long, and I've been with Shayne for quite a while now. It's perfectly normal that I'm pregnant. You guys hated me before."Back then, you were eager for me to be with someone else. Now that I am, you guys should be happy."Luna sat down as well. When she was with Rowan, she had always been respectful in front of Patrick and Shannon.She had always seen them as family and worked hard to earn their approval.But no matter what she did, it was never enough.For a long time, Luna wondered if she was doing something wrong.But after the divorce—and after she wa

When I found out Serena didn't have a job yet, an idea immediately came to mind. "I actually started a new company. We're hiring. The salary during the probation period is ten thousand dollars a month, with weekends and all national holidays off. And if you perform well, there's a big commission on top of that."I was about to add more when Mark sent me a photo. It was a payroll statement.Right after that, he sent a voice message. "Take a look at how much they've earned in commissions!"I tapped on the image. The company didn't have many employees yet, but every single one of them had already made over a million in commission—some even over five million.The amusement in my eyes deepened as I replied, "I hope they'll take home even more next month."Mark responded without hesitation, "At the rate sales are going, doubling it shouldn't be a problem."After reading his messages, I finally put my phone down and looked at Serena. "But of course, it all depends on our product sales.

In the cafe, I looked at the young woman sitting across from me and asked, "What's your name?"She was sipping her milk tea. When she heard my question, she quickly looked up and replied, "My name is Serena Towson. You can call me Serena. I used to stay in the ward next to yours."I was a bit puzzled. "Then, how do you know I was framed?"Serena took a deep breath, lowering her head. "Actually, I should be apologizing to you for this.""Why are you apologizing?" I asked in confusion.Serena didn't answer. She looked uneasy as she kept looking down, pushing her phone toward me.On the screen was a voice recording.I tapped play.It was a conversation between Luna and someone else. "I need you to avoid the surveillance cameras and spill oil in that area. Do you hear me?"The other person seemed doubtful about Luna's plan. "If we do that, it'll be hard to clean up, and people will definitely notice something's off!""Don't pour too much. Just pour enough so she'll fall when she

I looked around and saw that there was no one else around before turning to leave."Are you Aralyn?"I heard someone call my name and turned around to see a stranger.A little confused, I asked, "Yes?""I heard from someone at the hospital that you went there before, trying to find proof that Luna was the one who framed you. Isn't that right?" The woman seemed nervous.I had been trying to get evidence for this for a long time, but after so much effort, I hadn't found anything.At this point, I was about to give up on that approach.After all, I had other ways to get back at Luna and Shayne.Hearing what she said, I was surprised. "What, you have proof?""Yes, I do," she said firmly.If I could really get my hands on that kind of evidence, my revenge would be even more ruthless.But I knew that in situations like this, it was important to stay calm. "Why don't we talk about it at a cafe?"The woman hesitated.I smiled. "Do you have time?"Only then did she nod. "Of course

I wanted Shayne to care about Luna, and when Luna gave birth to the baby who wasn't his, Shayne would be immensely devastated, especially since Luna and Charlotte had even forced Shayne into getting a vasectomy.Sometimes I couldn't help but wonder if Luna and Charlotte were on my side.Charlotte looked confused. "Good?"I nodded. "Yes, good."Charlotte studied me. "If he and Luna are doing well, that means he doesn't want you anymore.""Then so be it." I had long since stopped caring about Shayne.Charlotte fell silent.I met her gaze. "I'm married now. Maybe I didn't inform you, but Julian and I are legally married. We just haven't made it public. After being with Julian, I've felt a kind of security that I never had in my previous relationship."So, I also hope that this marriage will last. Of course, it'd be even better for me if all of you stopped bothering me."With that, I was ready to end the conversation. "Anything else you wanted to say? If not, I'll head upstairs."

"Then, do we really need to give them commissions?"I didn't mind. "Yeah, go ahead. If they see that hard work pays off in our company, they'll be more willing to stay, right?""Yeah." Mark chuckled."I get what you're saying. I'll take care of it now.""Alright."After the call ended, Julian walked over to me and held my hand.I gently rubbed his hand in return. "What is it?""Your career is getting more and more successful," Julian said, a bit emotionally.When we first got together, I had nothing—just myself.But over time, I started drawing comics.With the right promotion, my comics gained traction and became a hit.That led to merchandise, trendy collectibles.But Julian never expected that I'd be able to launch my own plushies, start my own company, and make serious money.He always knew I was capable.But seeing me rise back to my peak in such a short time still surprised him.I smiled. "Yeah. Back when I was penniless and kicked out of my house, I never would've

"My plan is to take advantage of the fact that our comic still has some merchandise and the hype hasn't died down yet. While ensuring quality, we'll speed up production as much as possible."I understood what Julian meant. "Alright.""Should I arrange it now?" Julian asked."Sure."Julian took his phone and went out to the balcony to share his thoughts with Mark.As someone who had been working with Julian for years, Mark immediately understood what Julian meant. "Leave it to me."Still, to make sure he didn't misinterpret any details, he confirmed everything with Julian.Only after making sure there were no issues did he finally breathe a sigh of relief and ask Julian to hand me the phone."Yes?" I asked, confused about why he needed to speak to me."Our company's recruitment is pretty much done. I ran the numbers, and with our current profits, we can afford to raise the salaries of our interns," he quickly informed."Since you're bringing this up, that means you already hav

Shannon looked at Patrick.Patrick said, "Tell Rowan to win Luna back. She married someone else out of heartbreak, and that's because of us. Now we have money and are willing to spend it on her. I believe she'll come around. She'll want to come back and be with us again. It just takes time."Patrick wasn't used to staying in such a small place, so he said to Rowan, "Drive us to the hotel.""Alright."Rowan dropped his parents off at the hotel and then returned to his place. Sitting on the couch, he took out his phone and pulled up a photo of Luna.She was sitting by the ocean, turning her head to look at him, her eyes sparkling and filled with love.Rowan couldn't understand how things had gotten to this point.He picked up his phone and texted Luna. "I finally understand why my parents treated you that way back then.""I've known for a while," Luna replied calmly.Rowan was a little surprised. "You knew?""Yeah, I found out a few days ago. But that's your family's issue. It
