A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 575
The more I listened to Charlotte, the more outrageous I found her words."I don't understand," I replied.Charlotte angrily shot back, "Since you don't understand, then I'll explain these principles to you! First, as a woman, you have no patience at all. In my day, how many wives chose to divorce when their husbands cheated? "Didn't they all continue living their lives, staying by their husband's sides faithfully as they waited for them to return? Did they act like you and get a divorce whenever they wanted?"I didn't expect Charlotte to be so self-righteous. I found it oddly amusing. "In your era, no one got divorced because of the limitations of that time. Even if people were wronged in their marriages, no one dared to get a divorce. They were afraid of being criticized and ridiculed. Most importantly, they had no source of income and were afraid they couldn't survive after their divorce. But now, the era you're talking about is over."I had been drawing for several hours and

The main reason I didn't hang up was that I knew if Charlotte didn't finish her piece, she would just call back from another number even if I hung up. As such, I had to let her finish.Charlotte had no choice but to change her approach. "You're happy now, but have you thought about what will happen when you're old?"After some thought, I replied, "Even if I'm unhappy, I should be better than Shayne, right?"This was not the answer Charlotte wanted. She wanted to lash out, but she also knew that Aralyn was no longer her daughter-in-law and wouldn't obediently listen to her anymore. So, if she spoke too harshly, Aralyn wouldn't listen to her.As such, after taking some time to calm down, she replied, "But you've even abandoned your son. Who is going to care for you when you're older?"I replied unhurriedly, "If I remember correctly, neither you nor Shayne are taking care of Zach, right? So, isn't Shayne's fate similar to mine? Why do you think Shayne will be better off than me?""T

Julian chuckled softly as he met Aralyn's gaze. Her gaze was gentle yet slightly indulgent. He felt drunk on her gaze. Suddenly, he seemed to understand why he liked her.She was gentle yet strong. She was someone who would never be defeated by anything. Julian pondered seriously for a long time before he finally began to answer, "Honestly, it feels like there's nothing much left for us to talk about. We've been together for quite some time, and it seems like we've already talked about everything we wanted to. But I just want to spend more time with you."I understood what Julian meant and got up to walk over to his side.He patted the seat beside him, and I sat down without hesitation.Julian draped his arm over my shoulder.I picked up the remote and asked, "Do you want to watch some TV since there's nothing to do?"I leaned into Julian's arms as I said that. His body suddenly stiffened. He then said, "Sure."I looked up at him in disbelief. We had done things far more int

Shayne felt as if someone had dug out a piece of his heart. It hurt immensely. "I used to be your obedient son who listened to everything you said. You said Aralyn wasn't good enough, and Luna was better. I listened to you. I distanced myself from Aralyn and got closer to Luna… And what happened?"Struggling to support himself, he sat up and stared at Charlotte. "Aralyn left me and found someone better, while all I can do is stay at home, consumed by thoughts of her!"Charlotte hadn't expected him to suddenly get angry. She awkwardly muttered, "How was I supposed to know you liked Aralyn? The way you acted in front of us back then showed that you were only with Aralyn because it was convenient. However, you only had Luna on your mind. If Aralyn hadn't clung to her position as your wife, you would've gotten back together with Luna ages ago." Charlotte lowered her head and continued uneasily, "I just thought you loved Luna…"Shayne smiled bitterly. That meant the reason they ended

The phone rang. Shayne struggled to reach for it. He glanced at the caller ID—it was Luna.He closed his eyes and forced the question out of his mouth. "Do you need something?""Of course," replied Luna. She then asked leisurely, "Aren't you in bad shape recently? Besides, you are the father of the child in my belly. I just wanted to check on you and see how you're doing. Are you alright?"Shayne replied halfheartedly, "I'm fine."Lately, Luna had been recalling everything that had happened between them. Before she thought of that, she believed that Shayne's love for Aralyn had always been there. However, after thinking about it, she suddenly realized that Shayne's change in attitude had been incredibly abrupt.Before his divorce from Aralyn, he would go to work during the day, and then take Zach to her place after work to keep her company. He would stay until late at night before finally going home. Even after getting home, he would still call her and chat for hours. But everythi

Shayne could hear the worry Luna had for the child. Just the thought of his child ending up in the situation Luna described filled him with sadness. At the same time, an image of Zach surfaced in his mind.Ever since he fell out with Zach, he hadn't sent Zach any money, nor had he even paid Zach's driver's salary. Was Zach covering those expenses himself? But he was just a child. Where could he get the money?Shayne's mind felt like it had shut down. After a long time, he said, "Of course, I understand. But Luna, I just drank, so my brain is numb. I can't think about much right now. Why don't we talk again once I've sobered up?""Okay." Luna's voice still sounded pitiful.Luna stared at the screen after hanging up. The expression on her face became more unreadable.Shayne had already fallen out with Zach. If he was still capable of having children, then he would find another woman to give him a child if he found out this child wasn't his.If she wanted Shayne to depend entirely o

Joseph answered without even thinking, "No. My household hired maids, so they handled everything. I never have to do anything."Avery knew that cooking wasn't something he could learn in a short time, so she took some vegetables out of the fridge and waved him over. "Come here."Joseph obediently walked over to her.She taught him how to pick the vegetables, and once that was done, she showed him how to wash them.Joseph learned earnestly without a single complaint. He stole a glance at Avery and suddenly realized that her serious demeanor was different from any woman he had ever known. She was even more attractive and captivating. His heart couldn't help but stir.He looked away and focused on washing the vegetables. When everything was ready, he turned to Avery and said, "I'm done washing the vegetables. What's next?""Pass it to me," replied Avery. She took the vegetables and moved to the side to start chopping. "You're probably tired from all that work. Go rest in the liv

Joseph had pondered for a long time. His father's company was short on money now. Although he couldn't help much, he did have some money right now. Transferring some to his father shouldn't be a problem.With that in mind, he directly transferred half of it over to his father.Lucas called him instantly. "Didn't you say you had no money? Why did you suddenly transfer so much money to me? Where did you get this money?"Joseph could hear the concern in Lucas' voice. Although he had been terrible and made Lucas furious, Lucas was still worried that he wasn't doing well outside and still feared that he truly intended to cut ties with him.Joseph couldn't quite describe what he was feeling at that moment. He replied, a little touched, "Didn't I sign up for a bunch of cards in the past? Some of them aren't usable, so I just canceled those cards."He then added, a little embarrassed, "I originally thought I'd only get a few million dollars back at most, but I didn't expect them to genero

Julian chuckled. "Not eating breakfast until now is bad for your health.""I don't think I've been working for that long," I said as I picked up my phone to check the time. It was 10:10 am. I instantly felt a bit baffled.Julian's lips curved into a subtle smile. "For the sake of your health, you should eat some breakfast. I made scrambled eggs and some sides. Come downstairs and eat before you continue working.""Alright," I agreed immediately.I knew that skipping breakfast was bad for my health. Besides, as an adult, I should set a good example for the younger ones.Otherwise, if they saw me skipping breakfast, they might not want to eat either. That would be a problem.I walked downstairs alongside Julian."People used to call me a workaholic, saying my mind was always occupied with work. But you seem even more deserving of that title than I am." Julian sighed.I joked, "If I hadn't met you, I probably would never have found a boss as good as you. So, of course, I have to s

"How much is the internship salary for each employee? If they exceed their task requirements, how much of a commission do they get? You have to figure all of this out yourself. Once you have thought through these questions, your company will be ready for official operation," Danny concluded.Alice nodded, somewhat understanding. "Thank you, Dad.""You're welcome." Danny looked at Alice, feeling that the girl he and his wife had always cherished and protected seemed to have finally grown up.The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. "If you run into problems you can't solve, you can always come to me. I will definitely help you.""You're the best, Dad!" Alice remarked playfully."Of course. You're my only daughter. If I don't treat you well, who else would I treat well?" Danny said proudly.After chatting with Danny a bit, Alice returned to her room. She took out her phone and sent a message to Joseph."I've written a lot of stuff. How about we meet tomorrow to go over eve

"If they're truly talented, they wouldn't need to take over the company. They might as well go find a job elsewhere. After all, it's more promising than working for us. The only people you can hire are those unqualified yet overconfident ones," Joseph remarked, smiling.Lucas sighed. "Why did you come back? Need something?"Did he suddenly realize how tough it was outside and decide to return home for an easier life?Joseph took out a notebook and said, "Of course! I want to start a company. We already have a project. But we don't know how to manage it, so we wanted to ask you first."As Lucas stared at Joseph, he realized that Joseph had really improved after being away from the family.Before, when he tried to get Joseph to join his company, Joseph always said he wasn't interested.But now, he wanted to start his own business.Lucas sat down and shared all the knowledge he had accumulated over the years.Joseph didn't bother filtering what was good or bad; he just wrote every

"Otherwise, at the slightest disturbance, we'd start worrying about what we'll do in the future if their company goes bankrupt.""That's true." Joseph imagined himself running a major company and becoming number one in the industry, surrounded by people treating him like a star.He couldn't help but smile. "Alright! We'll do as you say!""Then go home and ask your dad how to manage a company. Remember to take detailed notes so you don't forget the most crucial and important points. I'll ask my dad as well. Don't worry. I'll write everything down."We'll have a discussion afterward. For the parts that are the same, we'll follow them. For the differences, we'll combine the best of both," uttered Alice.Joseph responded excitedly, "Alright."He had been troubled emotionally, thinking he shouldn't waver for another woman just because of what Alice said.But now, his mind was entirely focused on business.He believed that once he succeeded, women would naturally come to him and purs

But when he saw the high prices, he suddenly felt like it wasn't worth it. A regular apartment only cost a few thousand dollars a month. One night in a hotel cost tens of thousands of dollars. It was enough to rent a place for a whole year and even hire a housekeeper to clean up the place.In the end, Joseph booked a hotel for 200 dollars. After checking in, he realized that while it wasn't as luxurious as the expensive ones, there wasn't that big of a difference. It was still inhabitable.…Alice had finally found such a good way to earn money, so she wanted to take full advantage of this opportunity. Even though she was already very frugal with her spending, and her salary and bonuses from the company were quite high, she had to admit that making a lot of money on her own still made her feel really happy.As she lay under the covers, her mind was filled with thoughts of how to expand her and Joseph's business. She also thought of how to make more people aware of them.However, A

So, Avery choosing another man was the reason he was so upset. Joseph suddenly stopped in his tracks. However, he remembered that Avery had never actually said she loved him. It was Alice who said it.It was because he saw Avery trying to please him that he naturally assumed Alice was right—that Avery had a crush on him.Joseph had a vague sense of unease. He turned around and went back to Alice's house. He raised his hand and rang the doorbell. "Hello?"Upon hearing this, Alice walked to the gate with a yawn. "What is it?"Joseph stared at Alice as he asked, "I wanted to ask… Avery has never loved me, right?"Alice was stumped by his question. How did he figure it out?She looked away, feeling a little guilty.Joseph's voice rose. "So, you've been lying to me from the very beginning? Why did you do it? Was it for revenge?"Since she had been exposed, Alice had no intention of hiding it anymore. "Yeah, why else? You suddenly found a woman to date and called her my substitute. Y

"However, you need to let me finish. Being handsome is important, but it's not the most important thing. You and I both know that."Joseph was still very upset. "Yeah?"Alice continued, "A man's career is also very important. The reason she chose someone else now is probably because your career isn't successful enough. If you became the CEO of a publicly listed company right now and approached her, she'll think she hit the jackpot!"Joseph sneered and replied, "I get it now. When I return, I will do everything I can to build my career. Once I've succeeded, I will find her and tell her about the great man she missed out on!"Alice awkwardly looked away. If he went to find Avery, she would be confused because she never liked him in the first place. However, Alice dared not say that. She merely smiled and said, "Then work hard!"Joseph was still feeling miserable.Alice thought that in this state, Joseph was particularly suited to working for her and helping her make money. "Constan

However, Joseph saw Avery open the door. She then wrapped her arms around the man's neck, standing on her tiptoes to kiss him.Joseph felt like he had been struck by lightning. Didn't Avery like him? Why was she so affectionate with another man? Could it be that she was stringing him along?Joseph quickly turned around in a panic, took the elevator down, and left the building.…The man heard the noise and turned around. He looked at Joseph's retreating figure and asked, "Do you know him?"Avery shook her head and replied, "No."The man smiled and said, "Then he must have gone to the wrong floor. Avery, I miss you so much."Avery pulled the man into her room forcefully. She then slammed the door shut behind them.…Joseph ran out of the neighborhood. However, his face felt a little cold. He was crying.He had been abandoned by his family, and his friends weren't generous with him. He once thought there were still people who loved him, but the only person who secretly liked

Alice knew she could help. She knew her friends were inexperienced, so when they started their businesses, they were full of passion. However, they suddenly realized they didn't know what kind of projects to do once they had secured the venue, hired the people, and wanted to start the project.Alice thought that starting with them would be a good option. Sure enough, after sending out her message, she received responses full of complaints about how hard entrepreneurship was, how they were completely in the dark, and had no idea what projects to pursue or how to find business partners.She actively messaged them, carefully confirming their needs, and then passed the information on to Joseph one by one. Once Joseph received the information, he found that a large portion of it perfectly matched his friends' projects. Even if his friends were not working on related projects, he would find other people who could work with them.The both of them were very happy once they ensured that ev
