A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 563
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

From this perspective, it seemed that Aralyn's life of only worrying about quality wasn't as enviable as it once appeared. Luna lay comfortably on the couch as she stared at the ceiling.After deducting the production costs for her merchandise and the expenses for the employees helping with shipping, her profit was around 50% while Aralyn's was only about 15%. She was earning more than double what Aralyn made.Luna suddenly realized that the feeling of being independent and not relying on others was even better than she had imagined. She couldn't help but smile.She then picked up her phone and opened her chat with Rowan. A few days ago, she had upset him. Since then, she had tried to chat with him, but he had been unresponsive.Luna decided to use this opportunity to mend their relationship. She took the initiative and sent him a message. "How have you been lately? Are you short on money? I've been making a lot recently. Do you need my help?"…Rowan received a call from Mar

Rowan leaned back, enjoying a rare moment of leisure. His mind kept replaying the scene from the office earlier. Everyone's faces were glowing with joy. Most importantly, they were all very motivated. Rowan couldn't help but feel happy too. This was the first time since his family's bankruptcy that he had experienced such a friendly atmosphere. Moreover, it was all thanks to Julian.Rowan told himself that he would work hard from now on. At the very least, he had to live up to Julian's efforts.He then opened his phone and noticed the message from Luna. He was surprised. How could a miser like Luna be willing to spend money on him?Even though Rowan knew Luna was just trying to placate him, he couldn't help but feel moved. Luna really was different when it came to him.At that moment, the dissatisfaction he had felt toward Luna a few days ago seemed to vanish. "I'm at the Hughes Group. I was discussing some matters earlier and didn't see your message," he replied.He then wa

Rowan picked up his phone and saw that it was a notification for a bank transfer. His mind went blank.He then received a massage from Luna. "I've transferred the money. Check if you've received it."Rowan replied instantly. "Received."His heart wavered. Was Luna not lying to him? Did she really love him? If she didn't care about him, she wouldn't have transferred the money to his account.Rowan's emotions were extremely complicated, but he decided not to overthink it for now. After all, the project was more important at the moment. As for Luna's money, he would treat it as if she had invested in the project. Once the project started generating profit, he would distribute the earnings to her proportionally.Rowan glanced at the balance again. He was still in disbelief. Initially, he had thought Luna was just bluffing, so he wanted to expose her. However, she had completely surprised him. He didn't know how to react in that instance.…Luna stared at her phone screen for a long
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 570
Once Luna asked for Rowan to return the money, he would understand that the considerate words that came out of her mouth were all lies. Her relationship with him would deteriorate too.Luna didn't know how to reply.Rowan didn't wait for her reply before he sent his next message. "I can transfer the money back to you."He now had Julian's backing, so strictly speaking, he didn't need Luna's money. However, since she was willing to give him the money, he felt that his contributions over the years were actually useful.Luna was also moved by him.Rowan then told her, "We used to be husband and wife. You probably know me very well, so there's no need to lie to me. If you can't bear to part with the money, there's really no need to give it to me."The more he said, the more Luna became certain that Rowan cared deeply about her attitude. If she believed his words and asked for the money back, he would definitely cut ties with her completely.Luna suppressed the pain in her heart and

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
