A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 657
How did this situation blow up so much?Luna bit her lip.Now that Shayne knew Zach had never contacted her, he would start having doubts about her.After thinking it over for a long time, she decided to call Shayne.Shayne picked up quickly. "What do you want to say?""Shayne…"Luna didn't even know how to explain. After a long silence, she finally said, "Do you not believe me either?"Shayne felt a headache coming on. "The fact that you're calling me means you've already seen the news online. So tell me, when the evidence is right in front of me, how am I supposed to believe you?"Luna was at a loss for words. She paused for a while and replied, "Maybe I remembered it wrong. You know I'm pregnant. My memory has been getting worse."Shayne let out a cold laugh. "Go on.""I remember now!" Luna suddenly thought of a great excuse."Maybe it was some time ago when I went to fetch Zach from the kindergarten—that was when he told me."This excuse was laughably terrible.Shayne

Thinking of this, Luna took out the appointment slip for an abortion from her bag and snapped a photo before sending it to him.When Rowan received the message and opened the photo, he was so shocked that his entire body stiffened. He quickly asked, "You don't want our child anymore?"His mind went blank, and his hands started shaking. He transferred all his money to Luna and hurriedly messaged her. "I know it's not much and not enough for you to spend. But I will work hard to make money. Please keep the baby."Luna noticed how nervous Rowan was, and the heavy weight on her heart finally lifted.It seemed she was still wanted by someone.She was still attractive.Luna returned Rowan's money to him and said, "I made Shayne angry a while ago. He refused to give me any living expenses, so I purposely made this appointment to scare him."Rowan had felt uneasy when he saw his money was refunded, but after reading Luna's message, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.Luna continued,

"It proves that in the hearts of men, I am noble and worthy of them spending so much money on me. But Aralyn is different. Men see her as cheap. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so stingy with her."After saying this, Luna finally voiced her true thoughts, "So, instead of dating Aralyn, you should really consider me. Think about it carefully. Why is someone like me so much more worthy of being loved?"Hearing the notification sound from his phone, Rowan picked it up and glanced at the screen. In an instant, he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, extinguishing all the passion he had just felt.He never expected that his heartfelt confession would be used by Luna to flatter another man.Rowan suddenly felt ridiculous.At this moment, he finally saw Luna's true nature. He decided that from now on, he would never go soft on Luna again.Rowan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.He couldn't understand why, even now, he had naively believed that Lu

"If Aralyn was softer that day, do you think Shayne would hesitate even for a second before leaving you to go to Aralyn?"Luna was at a loss for words.Rowan continued, "When that happens, won't you feel humiliated?"Luna hadn't expected Julian to suddenly become so sharp, but she decided not to retaliate. "Don't say that about me. I'll feel sad."She had originally thought Julian would ease up and maybe even comfort her a little.But to her surprise, Julian went completely silent and ignored her.Luna felt a bit disappointed, but she still scrolled through their chat history with some confusion.In the past, Julian hadn't been too warm to her, but at least he wasn't as hostile.However, he was completely different today.Julian seemed to be targeting her at every turn.After reading through their conversation, Luna finally realized her mistake. Without meaning to, she had given Julian the impression that she was entangled with multiple men at the same time.Now she understo

But if Julian said it outright, he was afraid Aralyn would overthink it. She would wonder if he still didn't fully trust her, if he was just using her, and so on.And if he brought up wanting kids…Aralyn had fallen from the stairs before, suffering severe injuries that left her unable to have children.He was afraid that telling her would upset her.After thinking it through, Julian decided not to bring up the topic.Looking at Aralyn's confused expression, he smiled and asked, "After spending this time together, what do you think of me?""You're amazing!" I praised him, not holding back.Honestly, Julian was the kind of man most people dreamed of—handsome and highly capable of making money.He was serious about work, yet gentle and caring toward his family.Sometimes, just the thought of being with a man like Julian made me feel as if I was being spoiled.I even wondered if it was all just a dream.Julian's expression softened. "Have you ever thought about when you'd want

I asked, confused, "What's there to be conflicted about?"Alice replied frankly, "The purpose of our company is to help struggling startups find suitable partners."Her social circle had too many people like that. They were those who jumped into entrepreneurship fueled only by passion without any preparation. However, they realized they did not know what they were doing after establishing the company. With Alice and her team's help, these companies could at least go a little further.After hearing that, I was still confused. "You're very clear about what your company does." "The problem now is that we need publicity… Right?" Alice asked hesitantly.I saw nothing wrong with her logic. "That's right."Alice continued, "If we hire a PR firm, it'll definitely be very expensive. Do you think I should set up an in-house PR department?""You could," I agreed. "However, if you do set up a publicity department, you'll need to pay attention to the profit-sharing ratio. You must give

As soon as I finished typing, a knock sounded at the door.Hearing the sound, I quickly got out of bed and opened the door, only to see Julian standing outside. I asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"Julian pulled me into his arms and said excitedly, "I'm so happy!"I stared at Julian's face. At that moment, I truly felt that he loved me far more than I had imagined.Back then, when Shayne agreed to date me, he looked as if he was about to cry. At the time, I didn't know he had someone else in his heart. I merely thought he was moved to tears and even told myself that since Shayne loved me so much, I had to cherish my days with him. But later, I knew that Shayne was regretful that he couldn't be together with his first love.Julian, however, was completely different. His ever-cold face had an undisguised smile because he was about to become my husband.I cupped his face and said, "Thank you for being willing to love me, thank you for genuinely treating me well, and thank you for

Shayne had just been deceived by Luna in the morning, so he was currently still uneasy. However, upon seeing her pitiful expression, his heart softened.He sighed and said, "Come in."Luna lowered her gaze. She knew that a successful man like Shayne always fell for this kind of act. After all, Shayne was already wealthy, so he didn't lack money. The only thing he lacked at home was a woman who could take care of household matters for him just like Aralyn once did.Luna walked over to the dining table and placed each dish before Shayne. She then sat across from him and said, "Eat."Shayne replied uneasily, "You get easily hungry these days, so go ahead and eat some as well."Luna shook her head. "It's fine.""There's too much food. I can't finish it all by myself. It would go to waste," he explained.Upon hearing that, she got a plate and slowly started eating.As Shayne watched her chew carefully, he was suddenly reminded of their university days. Back then, they were still stu

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
