His voice was cold.Shayne didn't respond directly. "I don't know. But my son is usually well-behaved, so he probably wouldn't say anything too outrageous." Then he added harshly, "Instead of looking for faults with my son, I think you should reflect on your daughter. Could she be that fragile that a few words from my son affected her so deeply?"Since Julian's brother passed away, he had treated and pampered Willow like his own daughter. Because of his status, most people never dared to say a word against Willow.But Shayne was an exception. Zach was the one who made a mistake, but suddenly Willow was at fault. Julian became furious as his face turned colder. "Is this really what you think, Mr. Pearce?"Shayne shrugged. "What else should I think? Kids don't understand much, so there are bound to be conflicts. But that's something for them to resolve among themselves. Adults meddling too much isn't good for the children's growth. Don't you think so?"Shayne smiled at Julian as

Shayne couldn't bear the consequences if Julian stood firm. He mulled it over, wondering if there was another way to resolve this without compromising. Finally, his gaze landed on me."Actually, I think Zach didn't say anything wrong. Aralyn left home because she was upset with me and Zach, didn't she? If I'm willing to divorce Luna and Zach is willing to reconcile with her, she'll definitely come back."Having found a breakthrough, Shayne visibly relaxed as he looked at Julian with a taunting expression. "What, is my son not allowed to speak the truth?""Did you ever ask Lyn for her opinion?" Julian countered, his voice colder.Shayne found the way Julian said "Lyn" particularly grating. He had been married to Aralyn for six years and had a five-year-old child with her. Yet, he had always addressed her by her full name. Julian had only known her for a bit, but he already had a nickname for her.The thought annoyed Shayne immensely. He glanced at me before quickly looking away. "W

As soon as I finished speaking, tears welled up in Zach's eyes and fell heavily to the ground.He shrieked, "No! You're not Willow's mom! You're my mom!"As he spoke, he moved toward me.I looked at his pitiful expression, but my mind couldn't help recalling the time he said he liked Luna and wanted her to be his mom. I felt no sympathy—only a sense of absurdity."Zach, you have to take responsibility for your choices. Since you chose not to have me and wanted Luna to be your mom, then no matter how she treats you, you'll have to deal with the consequences."Zach cried even harder as he shook his head. "No! I'm just a kid! I didn't know what the consequences would be when I made that choice! You're my mom, so you should always forgive me!"Watching his unreasonable tantrum, I realized that no matter what I said, he wouldn't listen. Walking over to Julian, I said, "I really don't want to deal with them anymore. You can handle the rest of the matter."Julian nodded, and I walked a

From this day onward, Shayne wanted to live happily with Luna. He wanted Aralyn to know that she would never return to his side, be his wife, or Zach's mother again.Upon thinking of this, his eyes curved into a smile. By then, Aralyn would surely regret everything she had done that day.…Once Julian got into the car, he handed his phone to me. "I figured since you weren't there, you'd want to know how Willow reacted after Zach apologized, so I recorded it for you."He then turned to look at me. "Take a good look.""Alright." I started the video and focused on Willow.She seemed very resistant at first, but she clearly seemed happy by the end of the video.I felt a sense of relief. "That's great.""Yeah," Julian replied calmly. "I think if we keep this up, Willow will get better one day."I nodded in agreement. "She definitely will."When we arrived at the company, Julian took me to his office just like yesterday. I stayed in the partitioned area, planning to continue colo

Julian was always strict and impartial at the company, handling everything with a professional attitude. There were never any women around him. There was even a rumor that he was a workaholic who had no need for love.But now, not only did he bring a woman to the company, he even let her sleep in his sacred office.On top of that, he even asked Mark to lower his volume for her sake.Mark looked at the partition and then he looked at Julian.The woman was drowsy in the morning. What did that mean? It meant she didn't rest well at night. Julian definitely put her through the wringer.Mark had the urge to laugh, but Julian's icy expression forced him to suppress his gossipy thoughts. He lowered his voice and continued reporting to Julian what he had to work on next.Julian listened patiently. Once Mark was done with his report, he handed him a file on the desk. "These events have been approved."Mark took the file. "Alright," he replied without flipping through its contents.

Julian had to stand his ground. Amber raised her voice. "Julian, you need to understand that you are no ordinary man. You have a large company! Who do you plan to leave such a large enterprise in the future if you don't marry and have kids? Willow?"Julian calmly replied, "Yes."Amber's head ached. "But Willow has autism! She doesn't even dare to speak to others. If you give her your company, then it won't be long before it shuts down!"Julian did not agree with her opinion. "First of all, her autism will gradually improve. Secondly, since I intend to have her inherit my company, I'll naturally work hard to train her. You don't have to worry about that." Amber saw that no matter what she said, Julian would always find suitable reasons to refute her, so she stopped making up excuses. "I won't allow it! Julian, as long as you still acknowledge me as your mother, you must get married!"She continued speaking at a rather fast pace, "I think Alice is rather good. I've asked her to

It would be good if this comic would be liked by many. That way, Willow would definitely be popular when she carried the merchandise outside.Other children would gather around her to talk to her. Perhaps her condition would become better under such circumstances.Julian walked up to me and said, "If the comic does become a big hit, selling merchandise could also bring in a significant amount of income."I stared at him in surprise. Perhaps I had left work for too long.Although I knew about merchandising, I had only thought about using it as a way to help Willow get better. However, Julian could see the hidden business opportunity behind it. I had to admit that he was truly an outstanding businessman.I smiled as I said, "That's true."Julian's hand pressed against my shoulder as he guided me to sit on the couch. He then stared into my eyes."I think I know what kind of new company I want to create. Stay here for a moment."With that, he quickly returned to his desk and star

I shook my head. "I haven't eaten yet."Julian immediately apologized. "Sorry about that. I was busy with work and lost track of time for a moment. Figure out what you'd like to eat, and I'll treat you to it as penance!"I didn't refuse. "Let's just have some pizza from the second floor.""You don't have to save money," Julian said. He understood that Aralyn rarely ate here, so she didn't know which places were good.He ended up taking her to a nearby restaurant.Once they sat down, a server handed them a menu.Julian ordered a few signature dishes and then calmly explained, "The food here tastes nothing like what they serve in the cafeteria. You should give it a try.""Okay," I replied as I nodded.If it tasted good, then I could bring Willow here after I got paid.Julian paused for a moment before asking, "Do you plan on getting a boyfriend anytime soon?"I stared at him in surprise. "Why are you asking me this question?"Julian chose his words carefully. "If you're thinki

Alice couldn't understand Joseph's mindset. I asked tentatively, "Could it be that he thinks that his family will help him resolve it no matter what kind of trouble he causes? Is that why he's so fearless?"Alice nodded as she spoke, "That's possible."I laughed and said, "He just didn't expect that his family couldn't even protect themselves this time, and the only project that could have saved them was handed over to your family."Upon hearing my words, Alice couldn't help but cover her mouth to stifle her laughter. "If I were his family, I'd regret it immensely."I replied cheerfully, "Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it now."Alice grinned, flashing her teeth. She was about to continue the conversation when her phone alarm suddenly went off. She scrambled to her feet. "Time for work!"I stood up and reminded her, "Work hard."She agreed to do so as she rushed out.…Lucas sat in his office, leisurely listening to his secretary report the latest updates.The secret

Julian merely stared at me. He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated to speak."What do you want to say to me?" I asked."Aren't you jealous?" he replied.I was even more confused. "Jealous of what?"Julian hesitated before saying, "If I'm going to mentor Serena properly, I'll interact with her more.""I trust you, and I trust her too," I said firmly. "Since you've chosen me, you won't suddenly fall for someone else. Besides, she doesn't even trust her own family, only herself. She's even less likely to believe a man can change her fate, so I don't think she'll fall in love with you."Hearing my answer, Julian still seemed a bit dissatisfied. "But I want to see you get jealous."I laughed and played along. "If I see you getting close to another woman... I might feel a little uncomfortable."Julian's gaze softened as he looked at me. "But the one I love is you."I was surprised.Julian stroked my hair gently. "I'm heading back to work now.""Okay."…I was

Mark continued, "The solution her family came up with was to marry her off. They would then ask for money from her husband to treat her mother. She does want her mother to get better, but she doesn't want to sell herself. "She heard that our company was recruiting employees for overseas training and there would be a high allowance. As such, she volunteered."Mark didn't have the chance to share this earlier. Besides, when Serena was present, he felt it was inappropriate to discuss it in front of her. He thus waited until now to fill us in.He continued, "As for the allowance, the company has already disbursed it to her. She used it to pay the hospital fees for her mother and then lied to her family, saying it was money from her fiance. However, said fiance wanted her to move in with him immediately."She wanted to test her family's reaction. In the end, they told her to go and not upset him. When she saw that her family didn't care about her situation and showed no concern for her

Mark continued, "Ever since I found out how much money foreign markets make from merchandise every year, I started researching the types of merchandise they offer and how they operate and generate profits. "In the end, I discovered that their product range is more extensive than ours. Unlike us… We mostly produce flashy but impractical knickknacks, but they even have everyday items. So, since they have such advanced experience, there's no need for us to reinvent the wheel."My plan is to send someone from our company abroad to learn. That way, when they return, we can expand our merchandise to include more everyday items. That way, we can have higher sales and make more money. What do you think?"Julian didn't expect Mark to be working so hard in private. He looked at Mark and said sincerely, "That's a good idea, but I'm not the person concerned."He then looked at me and asked, "What do you think?""You're both doing this to help me earn more money," I said. Since working with J

Mark answered methodically, "Didn't we completely retract our collaboration with the Wilson family a few days ago?"Julian nodded. "That's right."Mark handed a folder to Julian. "I reached out to a new company to collaborate with. I had just contacted them, and they pulled me into their factory to show me their latest products. They also mentioned that they've just made a breakthrough in their technology. "However, the companies they're currently working with can't handle such large orders. They were still worrying about finding a market for their products during their meeting a few days ago. In the end, we extended an olive branch to cooperate." Julian accepted the folder and opened it. "Have you tested their new products? How do they compare to the Wilson family's products?"Mark was full of praise. "So much better, Mr. Hughes..."He then praised their product immensely.Julian skimmed through the product brochure. Mark continued, "These past few days, I've been thankfu

Pamela heard Willow's voice. She turned around and immediately ran to her upon seeing her.They held hands, happily chatting for a while before heading into school fully satisfied.…I sat in the car and watched the two of them. I couldn't help but feel happy.Pamela was Willow's only friend. If it was possible, I hoped their friendship could last a long time.The two girls walked into their classroom.I looked away and happened to catch sight of Shayne who was nearby. This caused my expression to darken uncontrollably.Julian was seated beside me. He noticed the change in my expression and asked, "Did you see him?""Yeah," I replied calmly. "Didn't he already abandon Zach? Why is he here at the kindergarten?"Julian speculated casually, "Maybe he wants to mend his relationship with Zach?"I shook my head. "He and his mother prioritize Luna, and not long ago, they were obviously preparing to give up on Zach. I had assumed he would treat the child Luna is carrying as his futur

"If others don't bother us, we certainly shouldn't go looking for trouble or bullying anyone else. However, if someone bullies us, we must find a way to fight back. Understand?"My expression was unusually serious.Willow replied earnestly, "Got it, Mommy. Ever since Mason left our class, all the other kids in my class have been genuinely nice to me."I smiled. "I know. I decided to remind you since we just so happen to be on this topic. I hope you can be happy every day and not be affected by others' moods."Willow answered seriously, "I'll remember that."She then added, "Don't worry, Mommy. I won't let anyone bully me!"I continued to remind her, "If you ever encounter a problem you can't solve on your own, don't force yourself to handle it. Always let your parents know. We'll help you solve these problems, okay?"Willow looked at me. The love in her gaze grew gradually. "Okay."As I looked at her, I suddenly recalled the times before I gave up on Zach. Whenever he faced any

Maisy's cooking was almost the same as Aralyn's. It was delicious. Zach smiled faintly.Although he had made mistakes in the past, at least he still had family by his side even though his parents no longer wanted him.…Shayne woke up. He glanced at the time and reached out to the side of the bed, only to find that it was already cold.Had Aralyn gotten up already?He got up and walked to the kitchen, asking impatiently, "Aralyn, is breakfast ready?"The kitchen was empty.Only then did Shayne remember that they were divorced.He dejectedly returned to the dining table and sat down. He buried his hands in his hair, overwhelmed with regret.Why couldn't he remember they were divorced? Perhaps it was because his recent dreams were about his time together with Aralyn. This caused him to be confused about his dreams and reality.When Shayne regained clarity, he turned to look in the direction of the kitchen. It was still empty.He couldn't help but feel a pang of remorse. Had

Unfortunately, I gave birth to a son. This meant that the skills I had learned couldn't be used.Now, I had a daughter. I could tie her hair beautifully every day.I braided Willow's hair into a bun. She then looked in the mirror and saw her hair all tied up, revealing her cute and round face. She blinked and exclaimed, "Who's kid is this? She's too cute!" My mood couldn't help but become better upon seeing her compliment herself. I played along and said, "Probably our family's, right?"Willow turned to look at me. "You must be really lucky then."I had no idea where she picked it up, but her tone was like that of an adult. Even so, it had that childishness unique to children. It was especially cute.I couldn't resist and pinched her little cheeks. "That's right. People are definitely envious of me for having such a wonderful daughter."Willow nodded. "And all the other kids must be jealous of me too, for having such an amazing mom like you."She then added, "I love you, Mommy
