A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 610
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

As Charlotte heard the disconnect, Charlotte shouted in a shrill voice, "Shayne!"But Shayne didn't give her any response. She immediately called back, only to find that she had been blocked again.She tried calling from other people's numbers, but she soon realized that Shayne had blocked all of them.Charlotte sat on the couch blankly.No matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't understand why Shayne would cut ties with her over such a trivial matter.…Joseph woke up at home. Thinking back on everything that had happened recently, he hesitated for a long time before finally opening his chat with Avery and sending her a message."Thank you for lending me money, letting me stay at your place, and cooking for me. But I found a pretty good job yesterday and made a lot of money, so I won't need to stay at your place anymore."He transferred the full five thousand that Avery had lent him back to her.Then, he remembered that he had stayed at Avery's place last night. Ev

"How are you feeling now? She doesn't love you anymore. Are you still stuck on her?"Joseph spoke slowly and deliberately "Of course not. I don't have any feelings for her anymore. I didn't love her that much to begin with, so of course, I pulled out in time. I have to say—that's some nasty method you used."Alice didn't deny it. He did the same to her, anyway.Joseph couldn't be bothered to argue about it anymore. "It's early in the morning. What do you need?""We're going to check out our company's location. Then we'll check the rent in the city center and compare it with the suburbs. Wherever we can afford, that's where we'll rent," Alice said, not wanting any unnecessary contact with Joseph.Joseph thought Alice made a lot of sense. "Alright.""Do you have a car?" Alice felt that for something this important, they had to use a family-owned vehicle.She didn't trust rental cars, as she was worried their project discussions might be overheard."I probably do. I'll ask my dad

The agent looked at Alice in surprise and said, "Of course, they're for sale, but they aren't cheap.""How much exactly?" Alice decided to go all in."Usually around 20 times the annual rent."Alice looked at Joseph. "So, as long as our company lasts 20 years, we'll break even."Joseph was also a bit tempted. He gestured for Alice to come over. "Let's discuss this.""Okay."Alice excused herself from the agent and stepped aside with Joseph."If we're buying, shouldn't we get a bigger place? Otherwise, if the company expands in the future, we'll run out of space for the employees. Then we'll have to rent another place. That doesn't seem cost-effective."Alice looked at Joseph in surprise. "That makes sense. Why don't we consult our elders first?"Joseph also felt that the elders might have more experience, so he called his father to ask about buying an office.Lucas said the values of the suburban property had little chance of increasing and might even decline in the future. H

Joseph and Alice were just business partners for now. If they bought the property together and both names were on it, it would be hard to divide if they ever had a falling out.It was better to settle everything clearly from the start.The two asked the agent if this arrangement was possible, and the agent said it was.After they confirmed which half each of them would take, the agent led them through the property transfer process.Joseph looked at the brand-new property deed in his hands and still found it hard to believe. "I actually own my own place now.""Mm-hmm!" Alice was also excited, though she didn't show it. "Let's go meet Aralyn now."Joseph asked, "What for?""She's amazing!" Alice praised, unconsciously lifting her chin."Even though she hasn't started her own company, she has her own insights about business matters. Talking to her will give us a different perspective! And most importantly, I want to share this great news with Aralyn."Alice suddenly thought of

"I'm heavily pregnant right now. I need someone to take care of me. If I move in with you, can you afford to hire a nanny to take care of me? And Mason is currently attending the best kindergarten in the city. The tuition costs hundreds of thousands a year. Can you afford that?"She asked one question after another, leaving Rowan at a loss for words.Luna took a deep breath. "Even though Shayne is angry right now, I believe as long as I hold on, he'll calm down eventually. And then he'll continue to provide me with a good life.""So, you called me just to complain? You never actually thought about coming back to me?" Rowan asked.Luna was silent for a long time before replying, "Yes.""Alright."She had hurt Rowan repeatedly, and he had said over and over again that he would forgive her. But now, he finally realized that Luna never needed his forgiveness.In fact, Luna could live just fine without him."Maybe Shayne was just acting on impulse. You don't need to take it to heart
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 617
Shayne's love for Aralyn would fade gradually.Charlotte felt that if things reached that point, Shayne wouldn't hold a grudge against her over the vasectomy anymore.Instead, he would realize that everything she did was for his own good.The more Charlotte thought about it, the more convinced she became that her priority now was to break Julian and Aralyn up. She took a taxi to the entrance of Hughes Group, but when she saw the tightly shut gates, she froze.Seeing her standing there in a daze, someone nearby approached her. "Hughes Group is closed on weekends. If you need to see one of their employees, you can come back on Monday."Charlotte nodded numbly. "Okay, thank you."Even if they weren't at the company, that didn't matter. She could go to Julian's house and meet him there.After all, she had to settle this today!Otherwise, as long as Shayne kept blaming her, she wouldn't be able to feel at ease.…The car was moving down the road.Joseph sat in the passenger seat,

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
