Instead of answering, Julian looked at me.I nodded.Only then did Julian hand the phone to Charlotte.Charlotte took the phone and immediately dialed Shayne's number.Shayne answered the call. "Hello? Mr. Hughes, is there something you need?""It's your mother," Charlotte said."I'm at Julian's house. Come over here. Aralyn wants to talk to you."Charlottes had been out of line when she'd forced him to get a vasectomy.Shayne had no intention of responding to Charlotte, but after hearing what she said, he hesitated and replied, "Okay, I'll be there."Charlotte hung up the phone and returned it to Julian, her eyes filled with disdain. "My son is on his way!" she remarked arrogantly."If you don't want him to expose you, you'd better come clean now. Maybe Julian will give you a chance if you're honest."Julian raised an eyebrow."I would give Aralyn a chance? In our relationship, Aralyn has always held the power. Couldn't Charlotte see that?" thought Julian."Since Shayne

"Shayne didn't give you that much at first. But later, after his startup succeeded and he made money, he must have given you more, right?" Charlotte said somewhat awkwardly.I didn't deny it. "He did. But it wasn't five thousand, and he never gave my mother any money. He only gave me three thousand a month.""That's impossible!" Charlotte said without a second thought."Forget about jewelry; just one piece of clothing Shayne bought for Luna costs hundreds of thousands. Are you telling me that the total amount he gave you in those years isn't even as much as one of Luna's outfits?"That was the truth. But I also knew Charlotte hated me, so no matter what I said, she wouldn't believe me.I lifted my chin and motioned for Charlotte to look behind her. "Your son is here. If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself."Charlotte turned to look at Shayne and quickly rushed to him. "Shayne, you're finally here! Tell Julian how terrible Aralyn was to you! She forced you to go to work

Shayne felt as if his heart was being stabbed. It hurt terribly."She lied to you. I never increased the living expenses I gave to Aralyn," he confessed.Charlotte froze, then quickly pressed on, "Then at least you gave her mother some money, right?""I didn't." Shayne had never felt his heart ache like this before."When I first got married, didn't you repeatedly warn me not to spoil them? I never forgot."For a moment, Charlotte didn't know what to say. She had always called Aralyn a gold digger, but in reality, Shayne had only given her this meager amount every month.Suddenly, her face was burning.As the two of them fell into silence, I spoke up. "First of all, you need to understand one thing—during the first year I was with your son, he didn't even give me three thousand dollars. He only gave me the money from the second to the fourth year."For the last two years, he didn't give me a single penny. In other words, over the six years I was with him, he gave me a total of

Initially, I had no intention of asking for the money, but I couldn't stand how Charlotte kept coming to me every day, acting as if I had spent so much of Shayne's money.It made me develop a rather nasty thought.If Charlotte found out that, throughout this marriage, Shayne was the one who had been spending my money—what would she do then?Charlotte said smugly, "Great! Let's take a good look at how much my son has spent on you! If you have any sense of shame, now that you've found yourself a rich man, you should pay back every cent Shayne spent on you.""No problem," I agreed without hesitation."And if it turns out I was the one covering for Shayne, make sure he pays me back too."Charlotte nodded. "Sure."As she looked through the statement, her brows furrowed because she realized that every single expense in the statement was precisely recorded as money spent on Shayne.Not a single cent was spent on Zach.Most importantly, I had been extremely generous toward Shayne. Eve

However, Julian stepped in front of me, his voice as calm as ever. "A man should marry a woman because he loves her, wants to build a life, and have a good future with her. It's not because she has a gentle personality, is tolerant of everyone, and won't cause him any trouble. I hope you can understand that."The more Julian spoke up for me, the more irritable Shayne felt because he understood that the better Julian treated me, the less of a chance he had."You sound so noble. But can you guarantee that you're with Aralyn not because of her personality?" Shayne sneered.Julian was clear about what he wanted, so he smiled and replied, "I won't deny that she has a great personality. But more than that, I want her to feel comfortable when she's with me rather than being constantly troubled by the people around me and living in unhappiness every day."Julian continued, "After your divorce, she had nothing to do with you anymore. Yet, the people around you still keep bothering her. What

I really didn't want to have any kind of involvement with them anymore. Settling all the accounts and ending things completely was the best choice for me.Charlotte looked at Shayne.Shayne didn't refuse and said, "Alright."After settling this matter, I turned to Charlotte."You kept saying that my mom and I were leeching off your family. But in reality, I spent more money on your family. That meant you were the real leeches here. But even after taking my money, you still weren't satisfied. You even had the nerve to turn things around and accuse me."I shook my head lightly. "That's rich coming from you."Charlotte felt guilty, but she refused to admit she was wrong. She could only bite the bullet and say, "You married into our family, so you're one of us! The money you earn belongs to our family!"Seeing how unreasonable she was, I couldn't help but laugh. "I wasn't part of the family when you accused me of spending your family's money. But now that the truth shows you were th

"It's a pity that the excuse about money has already been cleared up. You can now try to find another reason to tell Julian and see if he'll get mad and leave me for it."Charlotte knew that Julian was wealthy, so if she brought up money, he definitely wouldn't care. There was no need to keep harping on this issue.Once Charlotte figured this out, she instantly became much more confident. "Let's say Aralyn's in the right when it comes to money. But when it comes to not respecting her elders, she can't escape this one!"She stared at me smugly. "As my daughter-in-law, she should've respected me. But what had she done? Not only did she not cater to me and serve me, but she didn't even visit me!"Shayne no longer wanted to look at Charlotte because she had no idea that she was digging a hole for herself for every single thing she said. She set a trap for her own argument.He finally realized just how childish Charlotte was every time she tried to pick on Aralyn. It was easy to see th

Of course, Shayne also knew that their actions had caused me distress.But he hadn't expected me to voice it out right to his face, given my usually good nature.He was stunned for a long time before finally saying, "Alright."…After Shayne took Charlotte away, Julian kept looking at me sympathetically."Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked in confusion."I just feel like those six years were utterly miserable for you. Shayne's love was fake. He claimed to love you. But in reality, he neither gave you money nor provided any emotional support. You even had to earn money to support him."And him? The huge sums of money he made all went to supporting his mistress. Every gift he bought for Luna was worth a fortune."I smiled. "Of course. Luna was the person he loved, after all. His love for me was always just words. He was never willing to back it up with real actions. But for Luna, he was willing to show it through his actions.""That's why I think he never had the righ

"I'm here to see Zach. Ask him to come out."Maisy looked at him. Noticing his aggressive stance, she was afraid that he would bully Zach. "What do you want to say to him? You can tell me first. I'm his guardian. Only after I confirm that you won't harm him will I let him come out."Zach had no parents by his side. Only she, his grandmother, could protect him now.Shayne was filled with rage, but his upbringing told him that he couldn't lay hands on an elderly person, especially a woman. "I don't want to get rough with an old lady. If you don't want to get hurt, you'd better call him out here right now!"At that moment, Zach walked up beside Maisy. "Granny, go inside. He's looking for me because he wants to talk. There are things between us that we need to discuss."Maisy was uneasy. "But look at him. Does he look like he's here for a peaceful conversation?"Zach chuckled. "Don't worry. I'll handle it.""Look at his expression!" Maisy exclaimed, trying to emphasize the situati

Zach looked at the robot beside him. "It's nothing, Mom. Don't worry about me."Ever since he had customized a smart robot with Aralyn's voice, the robot had been evolving at an increasingly rapid pace. Now, it could even ask questions that only Aralyn would ask based on his behavior.Sometimes, Zach would get the feeling that Aralyn was still by his side.That was why he hadn't been going to Julian's house to watch Aralyn lately.He felt comfortable just staying with the robot. He would only go to Julian's house when he found the robot too cold and wanted to see Aralyn's face.As he spoke, Zach pulled out his laptop and began tapping away on the keyboard.A question mark appeared on the robot's screen. It said, "You don't look as if you're in a good mood. Who upset you?"Zach was always honest with Aralyn. He grinned and said, "Some annoying people will be coming over soon to talk to me, but don't worry, Mom. I can handle it myself.""But you're only five years old. I can't be

"And you even said that you don't want to acknowledge me as your mother and that you don't plan to support me."Charlotte truly felt wronged. In her eyes, everything she had done was for Shayne. How did things end up like this?"I… I'm sad. But…"Charlotte took a deep breath and continued speaking to Shayne. "If you want to blame someone, then blame me, not Luna."Shayne looked at the two of them.They were both defending each other, taking all the blame upon themselves.Shayne felt incredibly conflicted. "Don't blame yourselves. Blame me. If only I had been more emotionally stable..."He couldn't quite explain why, but in the end, he was the one who got hurt the most.He was the one who would never be able to have children again. Yet, somehow, he was also the one who ended up being in the wrong.Shayne felt helpless, but he had no choice but to compromise. "Shall we go back?"Luna sneaked a glance at Charlotte.Charlotte nodded."Actually, I never thought you wouldn't want

Shayne believed Luna and got a vasectomy.But Luna deceived him because the baby in her womb belonged to someone else.For the rest of his life, he would never have another child.My mood gradually improved.Shayne only had Zach as his son, but Zach would never forgive him.I looked at Julian and said in a slightly malicious tone, "I can hardly wait."Julian chuckled. "But you still need to be a little more patient. After all, Shayne still needs time to bond with the child in Luna's womb."I nodded. "I trust Luna won't disappoint us.""Yeah."…The car stopped at the hospital entrance.Charlotte watched Shayne rush inside, her heart pounding.She didn't know if Luna had already gone into the operating room or not, but she knew she had to move fast, or else she would lose her precious grandson.Charlotte jogged after Shayne.When Shayne reached the obstetrics department and saw Spencer standing nearby, he asked, "Where's Luna?"Spencer immediately pointed at the ward in f

Maisy looked at Zach upon hearing him speak. Seeing how calm Zach remained after hearing that his father could no longer have children, she couldn't help but worry. "Do you hate him?"Zach had already gotten close to them, so he didn't hide his true thoughts. "Of course I do. If he hadn't dragged me along with Luna every day, I never would have ended up being abandoned by my mom. If not for that, I'd still be living happily with my mom right now."Zach took a deep breath. "So, do you think I shouldn't hate him?"Noah didn't even have to think. "Of course, you should!"Shayne was an adult, yet after leading his son down the wrong path, he abandoned his son as well.Just thinking about it made Noah feel that Shayne was shameless.If Shayne were his father, Noah would have beaten him up long ago.Zach's expression softened a little.Maisy held Zach's hand and said, "I understand you, but don't think about revenge too much. You've already taken the wrong path once. If possible, I h

Julian thought about my question for a moment before answering, "They probably left yesterday."I was a little surprised. "Yesterday? Why does it feel as if it's been longer?"I was about to send a message to ask Willow when she would be back, but I quickly deleted the words and stared at the screen.Gabriel and Lilia were Willow's grandparents.A few years ago, when Willow was withdrawn, they had just lost their daughter. They were in low spirits and couldn't communicate with Willow. Now, they must be cherishing this opportunity to spend time with her.If I rushed them to come back, Gabriel and Lilia would surely be upset.Thinking of this, I put my phone back into my pocket."You miss Willow, don't you?" Julian tapped my shoulder."Yeah," I admitted."She'll be back tomorrow."I leaned against Julian's shoulder. "Yeah."Julian chuckled. "But once she's home. We will have less alone time."I turned to look at Julian in surprise. "You've been talking about alone time since

Shayne would definitely come find Luna.Besides, he didn't exactly hate the child in her womb.Thinking of this, Luna couldn't help but smile. She raised her hand and stroked her stomach. "I never expected that in the end, you'd be the one helping me."She then sent a message to Charlotte. "Now we just wait for Shayne to come."Charlotte read the message and breathed a sigh of relief. She then put her phone back into her bag and planned to head over as well.After all, she had been acting as if she deeply cared about the baby in Luna's womb.If she knew Luna was going through with the procedure and didn't seem anxious at all, Shayne would definitely realize she was putting on an act.When Charlotte rushed into the courtyard, Shayne had just driven up. She immediately yanked open the car door and got in. "Hurry up, or we won't stop Luna in time!" she urged.She couldn't help but admire her acting skills. "Do you think Luna feels so guilty that she wants to apologize to you by gi

"Aren't you tired of playing these tricks yet?" Shayne asked coldly.Charlotte stared at Shayne in shock. "What do you mean?""If Luna really didn't want the baby, you would have already gone to the hospital to stop her instead of coming here," Shayne sneered.Charlotte couldn't refute his words.How had she forgotten about that?Shayne continued, "If you wanted to contact me, you could have just called me, couldn't you?"Charlotte gave a bitter smile. "I wanted to, but you blocked me. How could I reach you?""It doesn't matter," Shayne said. He was done being played like a fool by the two of them."If she really doesn't want this child, then let her go through with it. I don't want to interfere, and I'm not going to."Charlotte stared at Shayne in disbelief. "How did you become so cruel? You don't even care about your own child anymore?""You forced me to become like this from the very beginning. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves."Charlotte kept opening and cl

"What if he doesn't want this child and just wants you to abort it?" Charlotte asked, extremely concerned.After all, she had already fallen out with Shayne. In her eyes, the baby in Luna's belly was her last hope.No matter what happened, Luna had to give birth to this child.Charlotte would not allow anything to happen to the baby.Luna understood just how much Charlotte cared about this child. She pretended to be sad and said, "Then I'll abort it. I'll just treat it as compensation for forcing Shayne into getting a vasectomy."Mom, if I hadn't been so desperate to secure a future for my child, you wouldn't have had to force Shayne to go through with the vasectomy. It's all my fault."Luna sniffled and added, "I should bear the consequences of my actions!""No! I won't allow it!" Charlotte said."But Shayne is already angry. If I don't do this, what else can I do?" Luna asked pitifully.Charlotte took a deep breath. "You're pregnant. Your most important task is to take care
