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
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 582
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

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
