Despite the compliment, Julian remained humble, though he couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face. "Really?""Yeah."It was at this moment that I suddenly understood that Shayne and Zach refusing to eat the food I made had little to do with my cooking skills. The real reason was that they hated me, so they also hated the food I made.Just like now, I had a good impression of Julian, so when he was willing to cook for me, I found his food especially delicious.Julian looked at me, finding the way I ate was graceful and refined.He shook his head, silently reminding himself to look at me less.He was already hopelessly in love with me. If he kept watching, he would lose himself in me completely.…When Shayne woke up, his head was pounding—an aftereffect of his hangover. Without opening his eyes, he asked impatiently, "Aralyn, why didn't you make me hangover soup last night? And my head hurts so much right now. Massage my temples later."However, no one answered him.

Shayne's phone rang, and he found the ringtone irritating. Glancing at the caller ID, he saw that it was Luna. He felt a little displeased but still answered the call. "Hello?"Luna was a bit nervous. She knew this was something she had to face. But when it came time to actually talk to Shayne about it, she couldn't help feeling anxious. "Do you remember what we talked about last night?"Shayne struggled to think for a long time before finally recalling what Luna had said to him. "Yes."Luna felt that his attitude was a bit indifferent, but for the sake of her future happiness, she decided to go all in."Can you tell me what you really think? Shayne, I don't want my child to be born into an unstable environment. At the very least, he can't end up like Zach, who you abandoned so easily."Shayne's headache worsened. He could understand Luna's concerns, especially with Zach as a precedent.Thinking back now, he had to admit that he had indeed been irresponsible toward Zach.He had

Luna took a deep breath. She knew she couldn't act rashly, or she would really lose.Luna lowered her head, raising her hand to caress her stomach. She was determined to keep this child.After much hesitation, she decided to call Charlotte. When Charlotte answered, Luna sobbed, "Mom, I don't know if it's because of the pregnancy, but my emotions have been really unstable lately."Charlotte, who had been treating Luna like a treasure recently, smiled and asked, "What's wrong?""Shayne has been getting close to Aralyn every day. When I see them together, I can't help but think if they get back together, what about me and the baby? What will I do then?""That's impossible! As long as I'm here, those two will never get back together!" Charlotte immediately assured her.Luna knew that Charlotte would always be on her side no matter what. "But just a verbal promise doesn't give me a sense of security.""What do you want me to do, then?" Charlotte asked in confusion.Without hesit

"Do you know what the consequence of a vasectomy is? It means I might never be able to have my own children again," Shayne said coldly.Charlotte replied unhurriedly, "But if you don't get a vasectomy, Luna will abort your child."Shayne immediately realized that Luna was now threatening Charlotte since she had failed to threaten him. He found it amusing but didn't show it."Luna called you just now, didn't she?" His gaze remained icy.Charlotte was dissatisfied with his tone. "We were having a proper conversation—why are you suddenly changing the subject?""She called me too, asking me to get a vasectomy. I refused. But I didn't think you'd agree."Charlotte became more anxious. "I don't want to agree either, but Aralyn won't get back together with you and won't have your children. And Luna is going to abort the baby, which will leave me having Zach as my only grandchild."But you also know that not long ago, I fell out with Zach for your sake. Are you really willing to watch a

Shayne's mind went blank. He hadn't expected that the baby was this important to Charlotte.He was already feeling unwell, and after hearing Charlotte's words, he felt even worse.His head ached even more. He pressed hard on his temples, hoping to relieve the discomfort but to no avail.Shayne couldn't be bothered to keep pressing as he rested his arm on the couch. "Mom, I'm busy with work right now. Stop messing around with Luna and causing trouble for me. This seriously affects my work!""Hmph!" Charlotte felt that since she had gone through so much to give birth to her son, he should listen to her no matter what."I'm seriously discussing this with you. If you don't agree, don't blame me for not maintaining your reputation!"Shayne felt that Charlotte only ever used this method to control him.In the past, he always compromised. But his compromises never earned his mother's understanding. Instead, they only made her even more unreasonable.This time, Shayne decided not to ba

Shayne stayed on a video call with Charlotte as he walked into the hospital under her watchful gaze.Very few men came to the hospital for a vasectomy. As soon as he arrived, they attended to him right away.The doctor initially tried to persuade him not to go through with the procedure, saying it would be bad for his health.But Shayne told the doctor, "My mom is threatening to kill herself if I don't do this surgery."The doctor glanced at the phone."Hurry up! If you don't do it, I'll kill myself right here! And I'll tell everyone that you drove me to my death," Charlotte urged impatiently.The doctor couldn't help but feel sorry for Shayne, so he went ahead and arranged the procedure for the latter. It was a minor surgery with a small incision, so it was over quickly.When Shayne walked out, he stared at his phone coldly and asked Charlotte, "Are you satisfied now?""Of course! You're such a good son!" Charlotte was overjoyed.Shayne uttered indifferently, "From today onwa

Shayne had devoted himself wholeheartedly to Charlotte, and what did he get in return?Charlotte was willing to threaten him with suicide for Luna's sake, forcing him to compromise.Only now did Shayne realize how ridiculously wrong he had been.He stared at the ceiling for a long time before calling Luna.Seeing that her plan succeeded, Luna picked up Shayne's call with a pleased smile."You're really something. When you couldn't convince me, you went through Charlotte instead. Should I praise you for being clever?" asked Shayne emotionlessly."Of course, you should," Luna thought, albeit not saying it.She still put on a fragile and innocent front in front of Shayne. "I only want my child to have a happy life, one where they don't have to worry about being abandoned. Am I wrong for that?""If you're not wrong, then I'm the one at fault, right?" Shayne asked coldly.Luna was at a loss for words.Shayne suddenly thought of something and said, "Now that I think about it, if I

"Yeah. Shayne is angry. He said he won't give me a single cent for living expenses in the future."Charlotte didn't take it seriously. "It's fine. He might not care about an unborn child, but I'm still his mother. He won't ignore me. When he sends me money, I'll transfer it to you."Luna felt a bit uneasy. If things were really as optimistic as Charlotte said, that would be great. "But he said he won't give you money as well.""That's not possible." Charlotte remained unconcerned."Even if I forced him to do something he didn't want to, I'm still his mother. There's no way he'd cut me off over something so trivial.""He said it himself just now. Why don't you call him and ask?" Luna said, trying to test the waters."Sure. But he's still angry right now. I think even if I ask him, he'll give me the same answer he gave you. But I'll comfort him anyway. He's my son, after all."Charlotte hung up and dialed Shayne's number, but her hands were trembling.Shayne had never thrown a ta

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
