A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 749
Donald was afraid she would lose the motivation to pursue Julian, so he let out a cold snort and said, "Considering what you did to Aralyn back then, if you were Aralyn, would you forgive someone who bullied you like that?""No." Yasmin shook her head.What she had done back then was indeed out of line and downright inhumane.…Willow sat in the car, resting her head on my arm. She then looked up at me and asked, "Mommy, who was that lady just now?""Someone..." I carefully chose my words. "The daughter of a scumbag. Neither she nor her father has good intentions, so just ignore them."Willow pursed her lips. "I can tell. She wants to seduce Daddy and make him her husband! She's a bad person!"Seeing his precious daughter so upset, Julian took the initiative to comfort her. "Don't worry, Daddy won't be with her. Daddy loves you and Mommy."Willow was barely reassured. "But if Daddy ignores her, she'll try to stir up trouble in front of Mommy. She wants to use this tactic to r

"No!" Shayne choked up as tears kept falling.Although every time in the past, he had realized that he could never truly hold onto Aralyn, none of those moments had made him as heartbroken as this one because with a marriage certificate binding them together, it meant that he really had no chance anymore.Shayne bit his lip. "No, Donald, you promised me! You should keep your word no matter what! You can't go back on your word!"Hearing Shayne's breakdown, Donald simply hung up.He wanted to help too, but he had to actually have the ability to do so.…Yasmin went home, growing more and more frustrated the more she thought about it.Why was it that an old woman like Aralyn, after getting such a great man, could keep such a tight leash on him?She didn't let him have any contact with other women!…Yasmin changed her number and called me. "Be honest, are you just jealous of how young and beautiful I am?"Jealous? What was there for me to be jealous of?I pointed out the flaw
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 1
"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

A whole bunch of beautiful women would have already come looking for him.After saying that, Julian drove off without hesitation.…Yasmin was left standing there, watching Julian's departing figure from afar. She stomped her feet in frustration and turned to Donald. "Dad! What do you think we should do? I followed your instructions exactly today, but Julian still refused to step forward and help me."Donald had a headache over the situation as well. He never expected that those people would install surveillance cameras inside the room, let alone have the incident recorded.He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. We'll have to seek help from someone else."Yasmin was confused. "Who?""Luna."Donald couldn't even be bothered to explain. He dialed Luna's number and reported everything that had happened. Then he said, "The plan was completely useless. Julian didn't fall for it at all.""Well, obviously. Do you people think Julian is an idiot? Do you really believe he'd

But Julian never showed up.Why?Yasmin couldn't understand.…After dinner, I took Willow with me to pick up Julian. Just as we arrived at the hotel entrance, Julian walked out.He looked at me and Willow, his expression as gentle as ever. "Was it tiring to make this special trip?"Willow immediately burrowed into Julian's arms. "Not at all! As long as I get to see Daddy, I'm happy."Julian picked up Willow and asked indulgently, "Is that so?"Willow nodded firmly.I got into the car, and Julian handed Willow to me.Just as we were about to drive off, Yasmin ran out, her eyes red. "Julian, do you know what I just went through?"Julian looked at her. "What?"Yasmin clenched the hem of her clothes. "I was almost assaulted at the banquet, and you remained indifferent the entire time."Then, what kind of reaction was he supposed to have?Julian didn't understand. "Someone has already taken care of the matter. If what you said is true, they will ensure you get justice. But no

Yasmin hadn't had a chance to respond yet.The man beside her immediately said, "Yes, call the police right now!"He had done a good deed and ended up being falsely accused.Now, he just wanted a fair and just resolution.Of course, Yasmin couldn't let them call the police. "For all I know, you might not even actually call the police."The event organizer asked, "Then what do you want us to do?""Bring Julian here!" Yasmin demanded, showing her true intention."Otherwise, no one else will do."The crowd fell silent.Initially, they might not have fully understood the situation. But after hearing that, they got the message.She didn't trust the police, but she trusted Julian?Julian was just a company CEO.It was obvious this was all aimed at Julian.…As the crowd whispered among themselves, Julian stood on the second floor, watching the spectacle unfold coldly.The organizer approached Julian and asked how he wanted to handle the situation."First, get a few well-respe

Julian followed the others upstairs.Downstairs, men in suits and women in elegant dresses held wine glasses, chatting and laughing. It made for a lively atmosphere.Only two people were an exception.Donald kept staring at the entrance. "Did you see Mr. Hughes?"Yasmin, bored but forcing herself to persist, replied, "No!"If it weren't for the fact that she liked Julian so much and that he was incredibly rich, she wouldn't have bothered wasting her time here.Donald looked at Yasmin. "Why don't we start acting now?"Yasmin rolled her eyes impatiently. "And if Julian doesn't show up, who am I acting for? That would just be a waste of effort."Hearing Yasmin say that, Donald realized he was being too impatient and forced himself to calm down.But the banquet had already started, and Julian was still nowhere to be seen. It irritated him, so he got up and walked to the entrance. "Excuse me, has Mr. Hughes arrived?" he asked the greeter.The greeter looked at Donald. "He's been h

Someone heard Willow's question and leaned in to answer, "That's because our hard work gets rewarded."Willow looked at her in confusion.The young woman clarified, "At other companies, people work nine hours a day, six or seven days a week, and only earn about 50 or 60 thousand a month.""Do you make more than that?" Willow asked.The young woman nodded seriously. "Yeah. We work six hours a day and make hundreds of thousands a month—that's not even the highest salary. In a place where real estate is crazy expensive, we can buy a home for ourselves in just a year or two."That's something many people spend half their lives working toward. But we can achieve that in just a few years. Don't you think that's amazing? Doesn't life feel full of hope?"Hearing the joy in her voice, Willow nodded hesitantly. "I guess so."The young woman continued, "For most people, their biggest expense is daily meals, but our company provides meal subsidies. I also heard they're setting up a childcar

Everyone was on the same page.Although their job was to promote my comic, they had all actually read it.And with such generous salaries, they couldn't help but like the comic to some extent.They also found the little girl in the story incredibly adorable.At this moment, they all felt delighted.They worked in a job they loved, and they got to interact with a character they adored.It was like living in a dream.…After work, Julian and I went to pick up Willow. On the way, I told him my plan."You'll go to the banquet, and I'll join my coworkers for dinner. Should I just take Willow with me?"Not wanting me to get too tired, Julian said, "I'm worried that if Willow is there, you won't be able to enjoy yourself."I smiled. "Willow is well-behaved. Don't worry."When we arrived at the kindergarten, I picked up Willow and told her about the plans. Then, I asked, "Do you want to go to dinner with Mommy, go to the banquet with Daddy, or go home?"Willow looked at me, then a

Although Donald knew his relationship with Aralyn had become extremely strained and that there was no chance of reconciliation in the short term, the numbers still made his heart pound uncontrollably.If he got his hands on that money, he might be able to push his company several levels higher.And it would be enough to ensure that his son could live his life without worries.Donald's eyes burned with desire. "You have a point."Although Luna and Aralyn didn't get along, he couldn't deny that Luna's plan was undeniably beneficial to him."I'll give it some serious thought."When Luna heard his response, she knew he was already tempted.Her smile deepened."Aralyn, as long as I'm here, don't even think about living too comfortably!" she thought.…After Mark finished his work, he arrived at the office.Seeing him enter, I withdrew my gaze.He often came to the office to discuss work with Julian, so I was used to it."Hello, Mr. Hughes!" Mark greeted Julian with a smile befo
