"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.

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,

"Alice was right—you really are amazing," Joseph said, seemingly nervous.Hearing this, I looked up at Joseph. "Thank you."Alice lifted her chin. "Of course! Any woman I approve of is definitely extraordinary.""You have a good eye." I chuckled.Alice agreed enthusiastically, "That's right!"After chatting with me, Alice turned her attention to Julian. "By the way, what's the most important thing when starting a company in your opinion?"Alice wanted to build a bigger company and keep it running for a long time. But she didn't know how to make a company last."It's simple—money," Julian replied unhurriedly."As long as you're generous and give your employees more money, they'll create value for you beyond your imagination."Alice knew this was exactly how Hughes Group operated, but hearing Julian state it so directly still shocked her.Joseph felt the same way.It was as though they had just discovered a whole new world.After all, no one had ever explained it to them like

Shayne nearly collapsed onto the couch, staring at the ceiling with reddened eyes.The thing he feared the most had happened.Julian's secret crush was Aralyn.That meant he had no chance anymore.His tears fell in big drops.He didn't understand why he hadn't realized that someone had been eyeing Aralyn.If he had noticed earlier, would he have realized that Aralyn was someone others wanted too? Would he have realized that leaving him didn't mean she'd be alone, and that she was never bound to him?Would he have felt a sense of crisis then, which might have made him decide to cherish Aralyn, settle down, and build a life with her?Shayne was filled with deep regret. He couldn't understand how Julian had endured this long.All these years, he knew that Aralyn had been married, yet he still waited for her. He didn't even waver when she watched him get married and have a child later on.Shayne closed his eyes numbly. After a long time, he let out a bitter laugh.Sure enough.

"Does the name matter?" Shayne asked without hesitation."I can tell you. Consider it my way of repaying you for tipping me off. Her current name is Aralyn Jaffe." Julian's usually cold voice was now filled with amusement."That's impossible! Aralyn is gentle and honest. She could never have done the things your first love did," Shayne stated, not believing it."The fact that you would say that only proves you never truly understood Aralyn. If you had spent more time with her while you were together, you would have realized her gentleness is built on the premise that she can protect herself," Julian replied calmly.Shayne's mind went blank.Julian continued, "As long as no one harms Aralyn, she will always treat them nicely. But the moment they scheme against her or threaten her in any way, she will find a way to deal with it."Julian seemed to be in a good mood. "Haven't you noticed that what I just described sounds a lot like what you went through?"Shayne didn't know how to r

"Yes." Robert had been wondering how to continue, but with Shayne's question, he had the perfect segue. "After those two got out, they kept trying to make a comeback. They're not stupid."Even though they've been out of touch with society for a long time, after some time of trial and error, they managed to reintegrate fairly quickly. And later, when they started their own business again, it was extremely successful."Robert sighed. "Once they made money, they started looking for the true love. But they soon discovered that she seemed to have vanished from the world—there was no trace of her at all."They refused to give up and kept investigating for years before finally realizing that she had taken on a new identity and was living under a different name. Now, those two have been biding their time, just waiting for the right moment to go after her."Hearing this, Shayne finally smiled. "Say, if I call Julian right now and tell him about his true love's situation, do you think he'l

"But such justice doesn't exist in this world," Shayne said.Robert said, "Exactly. At that time, her response was…"He cleared his throat and did his best to imitate the first love's tone. "I didn't do anything to you; I just stated what you did back then. There shouldn't be a problem with that, right?"The principal's response at the time was, "You may not have done anything wrong, but your actions have had a huge impact on our school. Our school used to be the number one in the city, and now we've dropped to second place!""If you were so afraid of the impact, then why didn't you handle the situation when I was being bullied? Given your position, you should have thought about this outcome when the incident happened," the first love refuted."But you didn't, which clearly showed you believed that even if I left, it wouldn't have much of an impact on your school, right?"The principal remained silent.The first love continued, "Indeed, just as you thought, I don't have that kin

"In order to verify everything, I went to ask the local residents, and I found out that it was all true after asking around. There wasn't a single fabricated detail."Robert sighed. "She's a legendary figure—she's someone we could strive our whole lives to emulate but never will. Of course, she wasn't satisfied with just doing this. She even compiled her successful methods and handed them over to the teachers at her school."She kept an eye on the next two graduating classes as well. As a result, the school she attended ranked first in the city for three consecutive years."Shayne chuckled. "I initially thought Julian liked housewives. I didn't expect that he also admired strong-willed women."To be honest, he also had some admiration for a woman this strong and independent.Robert didn't respond to Shayne's comment but continued, "She wasn't just determined and capable; she was incredibly motivated. When she graduated, she ranked first in the entire province. Then, during an inte

The more Robert spoke, the more he felt that the mistress was out of her mind.She had already stolen someone else's father, and she wouldn't even let his kid study properly."At the time, the whole school started looking at the first love differently, and some people even gave her a hard time. But the first love never paid them any attention. Not gonna lie, she had an incredibly strong mindset."She knew exactly what her goals were, so she wouldn't let external factors affect her grades because she understood that only through studying could she change her life."Robert sighed. "After looking into all this, I feel as if I'm starting to fall for the first love myself. Even after everything that happened, her grades didn't drop at all in the next exam. In fact, they improved significantly. During a school meeting, they even selected her to give a speech on stage."Suddenly, Shayne could understand why this kind of woman could become Julian's first love.She was smart enough. Her a

Willow shook her head without thinking and said, "No. When my parents had just passed away, no one was willing to take me in. But Daddy did and raised me himself."She added in a small voice, "At the time, there were a lot of important tasks that Daddy needed to handle."Afraid I wouldn't understand, she specifically explained, "The kind of work that absolutely required Daddy to do it. If Daddy didn't go, it wouldn't work. But he still pushed the work to others so he could take care of me."I heard that because of this, a lot of people in the company were complaining about him, thinking he was incompetent."The more Willow spoke, the quieter her voice became. "Back then, Daddy must have suffered a lot of grievances too. They all said that Daddy always put work first. But only I know that in Daddy's eyes, work was never more important than me."I felt happy for Julian. His daughter was smart and could see everything he had done for her. "Exactly, so you see—he loves you. It doesn't

"Mommy, you should go too. After you're done, we'll meet in my room."I smiled and said, "Alright."Willow bounced back to her room happily."Willow doesn't agree with us being together," Julian muttered.Seeing the conflict and distress on his face, I raised my hand and touched his face."Willow is a kid. She's used to the way things are now. If you suddenly tell her there's going to be a big change in her life, of course, she'll struggle to adjust. And of course, she'll worry. You can understand that, right?"Julian nodded.He knew Willow was a thoughtful child."So, we should take our time. One day, she'll be willing to accept us being together," I reassured him.Julian's mood finally improved. "You're right. I've waited so many years already. There's no rush."I asked curiously, "Waited so many years?"What did he mean?"I mean, I've been single for so many years already, so there's no rush to get married now," Julian rescinded, poker-faced.From his expression, I coul

Willow felt a bit nervous. "What is it? You look so serious. I'm a bit scared."I patted Willow's back, signaling her to relax. "It's not a big deal. You can make the decision yourself, so there's no need to worry too much."Only then did Willow let out a sigh of relief.In front of Willow, Julian took my hand, his expression solemn. "Our relationship has reached a new stage. After carefully evaluating everything, I think it's time for us to get married. But we're worried that getting our marriage certificate without informing you would be disrespectful to you."We're also afraid you might feel resistant to it, so we wanted to ask for your opinion first. If you don’t want us to get married, then we won't."Willow was stunned. "You're asking for my opinion on something this important?"Lilia and Gabriel exchanged a glance."Yes, because you're important to us. We both want to have your support," Julian replied calmly.Willow's mind went blank. "This is a huge deal! Since you ask
