A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 709
Since there were already existing character models, the only things I needed to draw were different outfits and expressions, which made it easy for me.In less than two hours, I finished everything, and I even created a hidden edition. Just thinking about Willow's face put me in a noticeably better mood.Just then, Mark pushed the office door open. He walked up to Julian and said, "Mr. Hughes, this is the marketing plan I prepared for the collectibles."Julian opened it and read through it carefully."If we want the public to embrace these figurines, the best way is to have domestic celebrities or influencers wear them as accessories. People have a herd mentality. When they see influencers loving these small figurines, they'll want to buy them too."As for other countries, in places where nobility still exists, we can have members of the royal family and aristocracy wear them. In the past, buying something worn by nobles might have cost thousands or even tens of thousands."But n

Hearing this, Julian also looked at me. Designing new styles was actually relatively easy, and the company would give each designer a commission based on sales.It was a way to make big money without much effort.But Mark was worried that I wouldn't be willing to share the money I was about to earn with other people.Without hesitation, I said, "Then just hire them."Mark was stunned. "But you'll have to share the money with others.""I'll share, then. It's a good thing that we can make money together," I uttered, not minding it at all.Mark stared at me.Confused, I asked, "What? Is there a problem?"No," Mark answered, shaking his head."Even if I don't design anything, I'll still get a share of the earnings. After all, this counts as merchandise based on my work, right?"I looked at Mark for confirmation.He nodded. "That's right."I smiled. "In that case, I don't need to do all the work myself."Only then did Mark reply, "Alright, I'll go find people right away.""Oka

"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

What?That short sentence left me in shock. I couldn't regain my composure for a long time.I only stared at Shayne in disbelief.He said he took Zach to his mother's place, didn't he?Zach's grandmother should know about Zach's condition. She wouldn't let Zach eat just anything.So, why was Zach in the hospital?And how did Luna know about Zach's condition?"Which hospital is it?" Shayne hurriedly picked up the clothes that had fallen on the floor and put them on in a panic.Luna cried on the phone while telling him the name of the hospital.Worried about Zach, I could only follow behind Shayne.It was then that Shayne noticed my presence.I knew my expression was grim as if I was on the verge of exploding, but I ultimately held it in.He opened the car door and got in immediately.I also got into the passenger seat.We were silent the entire journey.My head, messy with information, slowly started to clear up during this 20-minute journey.In other words, Shayne was s

Zach's innocent yet blunt words pierced my heart like a needle. While sick and in his most vulnerable moment, the person he thought of was still the very woman responsible for making him ill.I looked down at him. The illness had clearly taken a toll on him. After saying just two sentences, he had already fallen back asleep.Shayne had heard Zach's words too. He took my hand, uttering, "Honey."I didn't feel like talking to him and tried to pull my hand away.However, he tightened his grip, refusing to let go. "What happened today was just an accident. Mom acted on her own. Zach only said that because he's sick; he didn't mean to say that—""I can understand where Zach's coming from," I said as I carried Zach and headed toward the exit. "He's infatuated with Luna, so naturally, he thinks she's perfect in every way."I paused for a moment before continuing, "And yet, I've strictly forbidden Zach from seeing Luna. He's bound to react strongly against it at first. "Zach is not a b

Aralyn went to work at Julian's house.At the time, Donald's company had some issues, and he figured Aralyn was only an ordinary worker and that Julian didn't care about her.Hence, he focused on handling the company's matters, thinking that once everything was settled, he could come after Aralyn later. He thought it wouldn't be too late.He poured all his energy into work, and within just a few months, he finally resolved all the company's crises.After finally freeing up some time, he rushed to the city where Aralyn was, ready to unleash all the hatred he had built up over the years.But then he discovered Aralyn was in a relationship with Julian.Donald couldn't understand where Aralyn got such a strong charm.In terms of physical appearance, Aralyn wasn't that gorgeous compared to glamorous celebrities.In terms of intelligence, she definitely wasn't the smartest woman in the world.Yet, somehow, she kept attracting high-quality men.Donald took a deep breath, trying to s
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 707
Donald took the evidence handed over by the errand runner, sneering with contempt.A few years ago, he had let his guard down and was tricked by Aralyn, which led to him suffering a major loss.But he had learned his lesson now, so the same trick was useless against him.Donald tossed the evidence onto the car seat beside him.It seemed that after all these years, Aralyn still hadn't improved.He had only used a simple diversion, and Aralyn had fallen for it. He couldn't believe that he had actually been worried that Aralyn had gotten more formidable; that she would be difficult to deal with.Donald gripped the steering wheel with both hands.Back then, Aralyn had teamed up with Maisy to send him to prison. Now that he was out, and his life was getting better, Aralyn and Maisy still expected to live peacefully.That was nothing but a fool's dream.Donald parked his car in the hotel garage and then dialed a friend. "Are you guys free to help me? If you're not, it doesn't matter

Hearing Shayne's response, Donald asked, "What do you want to drink? It's on me."Shayne quickly waved his hand. "No need. I have to go back to work, so I'll be leaving first."Donald watched Shayne's departing figure, the corners of his lips curling upward.He just knew that his plan was bound to succeed.…In his office, Shayne thought about his conversation with Donald seriously.Donald said he would make Aralyn get back together with him.But after analyzing the situation, Shayne concluded that Donald's chances of success were slim.Donald had already been to prison, and most importantly, Julian was by Aralyn's side.The fact that Julian had built his small company step by step into an empire that others envied was enough proof that Julian was intelligent.Shayne tapped his fingers on the desk.With Julian around, Donald's chances of success were nearly zero.Under these circumstances, if he got himself involved, he wouldn't be able to explain himself when everything wa

Donald didn't understand. Didn't everyone say that Shayne was stupid? No matter how people lied to Shayne, he would believe them.But even after speaking to Shayne for so long, Shayne was still asking for evidence.This was completely different from the rumors.Shayne hid the disdain in his eyes. If he hadn't accidentally found out about what happened to Aralyn when she was a child, he might have actually believed Donald."Records don't disappear no matter how many years have passed. If you don't know how to find them, you can hand me your phone, and I'll check it for you," Shayne said calmly.Seeing Shayne already reaching out his hand, Donald knew that if he didn't come up with an excuse, he really wouldn't be able to explain himself. "Do records really matter?"Shayne replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, they do. I respect you as an elder, but even elders need to back up their words with evidence. You can't just think you can fool me blindly. Do you really think that's possib

After I agreed, they immediately called in some employees who had been resting at home and started production at the factory.Once the products were manufactured, the factory shipped them out.There was almost no need for my involvement in the later stages.I glanced at the sales and profits, a smile naturally appearing on my face. If I was right, this batch should bring me a significant profit.To be precise, as long as piracy was still there, this market would remain mine.After finishing everything, I continued drawing.…Shayne arrived at the restaurant and looked at the unfamiliar man in front of him.Donald was a self-made wealthy man.He had enough boldness and carried the calm confidence unique to successful people.He looked completely different from ordinary people."Are you the one who wanted to see me?" Shayne asked in confusion.Donald nodded. "Yes. Have a seat."Shayne didn't understand why Donald had asked to meet him. But since Donald was Aralyn's biologica
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 703
Julian and I returned to the office together. I sat on the couch, recalling everything that had happened between my mother and that scumbag.The more I thought about it, the calmer I felt.Back then, that bastard of a father had bullied my mom and me without restraint. But I was young at the time, so I couldn't keep him in prison for too long.But I had grown up. If he dared to mess with me again, I would not show him any mercy.Resolution gradually filled my eyes.I took out a stack of documents from the drawer. Inside were all the shady things he had done over the years since getting out of prison.Taking a deep breath, I contacted a courier. When they arrived, I handed them the documents and had them deliver them to a specific location.After confirming the courier had left, I went upstairs and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. I then took out a small pair of binoculars and looked down.The courier didn't leave immediately. Instead, they circled around to a side

"If I remember correctly, you should be in your 50s, almost 60, right? You might have three children. One is me, one is the mistress' daughter, and the other is the child your current wife is carrying. Maybe supporting your children isn't a problem for you right now."But what about ten years from now? Or 20 years from now? By then, your child will only be about 20 years old, while you'll be in your 70s, close to 80."At that time, when he needs your help the most, will you still be able to provide him with anything?Or do you think the mistress's daughter will help him?"Donald fell into silence.The mistress and her daughter didn't even acknowledge him, let alone his child.Donald wasn't that optimistic.I didn't force him to think along my lines. "Among your children, I'm the most accomplished and capable one as of now, so I believe you meeting me is crucial."Donald remained silent for a long time. This time, he had already thought his plan through. He even guessed that I wo
