Chapter 605

Author: Walking on Clouds
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.

    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

    "Mom, can you please divorce Dad?"It was 9:00 pm. I was trying to put Zach to sleep. Just when I thought he was about to drift off, he suddenly asked that question.That short question left me stunned for a long minute. My hand patting on his back also froze.I felt a painful twinge in my chest.Over the years, my relationship with my child's father had been pretty good. Logically, a child nurtured by love should feel happy living in such an environment.And yet…Why did he have such thoughts?Puzzled, I asked, "Why do you say that?" I softened my voice in case I unintentionally scared him."You never let me eat fried chicken or ice cream..."As he was almost asleep, his voice was unclear and tinged with the innocence typical of his age.I didn't know whether to feel amused or disappointed.To think that he wanted me to divorce his dad because of something so trivial...Children sure were naive.As I listened to his breathing gradually grow steady, I knew he had fallen as

    With the tablet in my hands, I left Zach's bedroom and headed straight for Shayne's study.But I couldn't understand...Out of everyone, why Luna?The first time I heard about Luna was at my wedding.Shayne treated me well back then. When I was feeling down, he would tell me it was okay, and that nobody was perfect. He would patiently stay with me until I felt better. When I got sick, he would drop everything to take care of me.Because of that, I resolutely decided to marry for love, even if that meant moving far away from home.Just as I was in a pure white wedding dress, holding a bouquet that signified purity and looking forward to our life together, I overheard his friends discussing his first love."I always thought Shayne and Luna would end up together. They were so passionately in love back then.""Exactly. They looked like a match made in heaven.""What a pity."The regret in their voices was genuine.At that moment, I began to doubt whether Shayne truly loved me.

    Shayne's other hand pinched my chin, forcing me not to evade, and then his lips pressed down on mine."You'll like it."…Zach was in the senior class of kindergarten.School started at 8:00 am every day.It took about 20 minutes to drive to the kindergarten. To avoid being late, he would leave home at 7:30 am every day.I, on the other hand, got up at 6:30 am to cook breakfast.Today's breakfast was a bit simpler. It was ravioli that I prepared last night.The broth was the troublesome part. I needed to simmer fresh chicken broth.I lay bay leaves at the bottom of the ceramic pot, placed a whole cleaned chicken inside, and finally placed a few sprigs of thyme on top. I then covered it and turned the heat to high.Once the water boiled, I lifted the lid, and the rich aroma of chicken broth wafted up to greet me.After adding a bit of salt, I turn the heat down to simmer.Now that I was done with this, I happily left the kitchen and went to the dressing room to help the boys

    Did Shayne write Luna this letter on the eve of our wedding?The other letter was Luna's reply to him."I'm sending back your letter with mine. Shayne, I am happy now. I hope you wish me happiness. And please don't contact me in the future; I'm afraid my husband will misunderstand."After I read these two letters, I could connect almost all the information in a way that made sense.Luna was clearly Shayne's first love. And yet, Shayne hated Luna so much.I subconsciously tightened my grip on the mop.So, it was because Luna had once betrayed Shayne. However, he convinced himself not to dwell on the mistakes Luna had made or the hurt she had caused him. All he wanted was for her to return to him.Unfortunately, Luna still rejected him.It was only at this moment that I finally understood why he was so emotional when his friends mentioned Luna at our wedding.But what about now?Why did he bring out these two letters?Was he trying to remind himself of Luna's heartlessness a

    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.

    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
