Willow pouted but still compromised. She said, "Then we'll do our hair first. If we have spare time, can we go play?""Sure," I replied smilingly.Willow sat at the table, looking at the cute little pudding in front of her.Surprised, she turned the little pudding around. "This looks almost the same as the one on the counter!"Pamela immediately took off the little box around the pudding and grabbed a spoon to tap it.The little bunny pudding bounced."So cute," Pamela thought.She liked it even more and quickly shared it with Willow. "Look!""Wow!" Willow's mouth fell open in surprise."What's wrong?" Pamela asked."I don't want to eat it," Willow responded sadly.Pamela glanced at Willow, then at the pudding in front of her. "Me neither!"I rubbed Willow's head gently. "Then eat your hamburger and fries first.""Okay!" Willow and Pamela quickly started eating. But as they ate, their eyes kept staring at the pudding.I shook my head with a smile.I picked up the hamburg

Julian added the caption, "A happy day."He was usually aloof and almost never posted on social media. This was his first time.So, as soon as he posted it, everyone started leaving comments."Is the little girl in the photo your daughter, Mr. Hughes?"Julian replied, "Yes.""Is that beautiful woman your wife?"Julian glanced at me, then replied, "She will be in the future."Right now, I was only his girlfriend. But he was not satisfied with the idea of us staying in this kind of relationship forever.He was eager for our relationship to move forward.Most of the comments that followed were filled with amazement."I thought he was so focused on his career that he'd never get married.""I never expected this.""Mr. Hughes just hadn't met the right woman before."Julian glanced at me again, his eyes filled with soft joy.Among all the compliments, one comment stood out.It was from Shayne. "Did you get Aralyn's permission before posting her photo?"Julian didn't rush to r

Shayne just kept coming up with terrible excuses.Back then, Aralyn didn't know that when he was making excuses, it wasn't because he found these problems difficult to overcome.He simply needed an excuse to break up.Shayne took a deep breath.Unfortunately, Aralyn had been naive enough to think that problems could be solved and that breaking up wasn't necessary.Maybe because they had been together long enough, and because Aralyn was good enough, he'd gradually fallen in love with her.But he didn't realize it.And because he wasn't careful with his feelings, he ended up doing things that hurt Aralyn.Shayne suddenly realized that from beginning to end, he had always treated love too lightly."Is that so?""Yes, so you can rest assured," replied Julian.Shayne didn't want to see Julian treating Aralyn too well because that meant Aralyn would never regret leaving him.He would never have another chance."Have you ever thought about what would happen if something happened
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 562
Was it still possible for Shayne to learn how to love someone and treat them well? Would Aralyn be willing to give him another chance after seeing him change? After all, he and Aralyn still had a child together.Shayne thought about it. However, the more he thought about it, the more uncertain he became....In the afternoon, it was time for the kindergarten event. We arrived on time at the small auditorium.Julian and I sat in the first row.Ximena sat right behind me. She leaned forward a little nervously and whispered in my ear, "This is the first time I've sat so close to the front.""Me too," I replied with a smile.Ximena asked, surprised, "Aren't you nervous at all?"I found it a little unbelievable. "Nervous about what? I want to make sure I record Willow well, so all I can think about right now is how to make her look good in the video."It was only then that Ximena remembered this detail. She asked, "Have you figured it out yet?"I shook my head. "Not yet, so I'm st

I smiled slightly. Perhaps it was because my married life had been so unhappy that now when things were going well, I felt as if I was dreaming.Willow announced the name of the first performance and then walked off the stage. Other students then went on stage to perform. The entire room erupted into loud applause. I clapped along as well.…Maisy sat not far from Aralyn, staring at her. She had been observing the interactions between Aralyn and Julian and realized that Julian's care for Aralyn was evident in every action.Maisy's mood got better as she watched them.Aralyn had been unhappy in her previous marriage. She was bullied by her mother-in-law, neglected by her husband, and even resented by her son.Maisy had watched as she changed from a lively young woman to a silent, reserved adult. It pained her deeply, but she was powerless to change anything. After all, from her understanding, divorce was wrong. As such, she could only advise Aralyn to endure it. That way, Aralyn

I was a little surprised that these words were coming from my mother's mouth.Maisy continued, "As for Zach… He hurt you, even though you never told me exactly what he did to you, but I know you. If he made you lose all hope in him, it shows that what he did must have been truly terrible. So, I won't force you to go back to him."I stared at her, stunned. "Mom…"The smile on Maisy's face was a little bitter. "You lived unhappily in the past. As a mother, I couldn't help you. I've always felt guilty about that.""I don't blame you." I didn't want her to feel upset because of me. "I didn't want you to worry, so I never told you."I then said, "Didn't you say you wanted the video earlier? I'll send it to you when we get home tonight."Maisy smiled and said, "That's great. By the way, is that your daughter on stage now?"I quickly nodded. "Yes, her full name is Willow Hughes. She lost her parents when she was very young, but I can tell they loved her very much. The name they gave he

"I was thinking, 'Wow, such an outstanding girl's my daughter? I'm so lucky!'"Willow was so embarrassed by my praise that she threw herself in my arms. "Mommy, you don't have to praise me that much."I gently patted her little head. "I genuinely mean it. But what I'm concerned about right now is if you were nervous on stage."Upon hearing this, Willow left my embrace and said seriously, "A little. But later it got much better when I imagined the audience was full of my dolls."I gently stroked Willow's cheek. "You know how to adapt when you encounter problems. That's great!"Willow smiled even more brightly. What she didn't tell Aralyn was that she had been secretly practicing her script at home every day. She had memorized it so well because she wanted to outshine Zach. That way, Avery would think that she was the best child.However, she didn't expect that Zach wouldn't be bad either. He must have been practicing secretly at home too.Willow secretly felt relieved that she ha

The phone rang. Luna picked up her phone and glanced at it. She then answered it."After our publishing house held a meeting, we decided to print 500 thousand copies of your book," Emilia said.She then asked, "How many copies have you sold on your homepage so far?"At that moment, Luna felt as if the confusion she felt had been answered at that moment. If she worked hard, she would still have money to spend even if she offended every man out there.Luna gently caressed her belly. She could rely on men, but she couldn't lose the ability to support herself, right?As she thought about that, she opened her homepage and checked the sales figures before replying, "Over 350 thousand copies."Emilia asked in surprise, "Are you sure you're not lying?"Luna didn't understand why Emilia would say that, but she still answered, "Yes, I'm sure. If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself."Emilia immediately opened Luna's homepage and took a look. Sure enough, it was just as Luna ha

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
