Chapter 795

Author: Walking on Clouds
"Because I didn't tell Rowan about it when I gave birth to him. So, he doesn't know we have a child together." Hannah sobbed.

Shannon furrowed her brows tightly. Was that really the case?

She looked at Patrick.

Patrick's expression was also somewhat unpleasant. "Alright, we'll respect your wishes."

"Thank you!"

Hannah talked with them for a while more before ending the call.

"See? I told you they'd believe me," Hannah boasted to her friends.

A short-haired friend asked in disbelief, "How did you pull that off?"

"Those two are pretty dumb," Hannah said disdainfully.

"They don't like Luna, so they think everything Luna does is wrong. And since they treated me better, I got pregnant and lied that the child was Rowan's. They actually believed it."

The short-haired friend shook her head. "Tsk tsk, but what will you do when they find out the truth one day?"

Right now, they had driven away their real daughter-in-law and biological grandchild for Hannah's sake.

It wouldn't be a

    "But don't worry. Mommy will take great care of you both," Luna thought."Congratulations on getting what you wanted," Luna said calmly.Shannon said irritably, "Back then, you were a homewrecker who ruined their relationship—""Wait, what?"Luna had never denied that she had a history of being a homewrecker. But she had never interfered in Rowan and Hannah's relationship."Rowan told me that before dating me, he was single and had never had a girlfriend. What do you mean by this? Are you saying Rowan lied to me?"At that time, her morals were still somewhat intact.If she had known Rowan had a girlfriend, she would never have been with him.Shannon also knew how Luna was. Luna was the kind of person who would openly admit to her wrongdoings, at least in front of them."You're still lying even now," Shannon said, her eyes narrowing.Luna was fuming. "If you don't believe me, I can call Rowan and ask him. If what you're saying is true, then Rowan hid the fact that he had a gir

    Rowan used to think that as long as he left his parents, everything would be fine. But they always said if the company went bankrupt, they would have no way to survive and could only wait for their deaths. So, Rowan could only compromise.But what had he gained from always listening to his parents?A broken marriage.Even his own child didn't acknowledge him.Rowan suddenly wanted to see Mason.Mason was among the few people in this world related to Rowan by blood but would not harm Rowan.Shannon answered the call. "Yes?""You said I dated Hannah? When did that happen? Why don't I know about it?" Rowan questioned coldly.Shannon had the phone on speaker, and Rowan's string of questions nearly took her breath away.She didn't know how to respond.Patrick took the phone. "Why are you denying it? We all knew Hannah was your girlfriend back then!""I never dated her." Rowan spoke slowly and clearly."Sure, but how did she end up giving birth to your child?" Patrick asked coldl

    Patrick had a point.But Shannon was worried that one day, Rowan would grow tired of their constant threats to take their own lives and ignore them.She grew anxious. "Why don't we try to get along with Luna first?""No," Patrick refused, as he still disliked Luna."'Let's wait for the results before making any decisions."Shannon looked at him for a long time before saying, "Alright."…Luna sat alone at home, looking around the spacious villa. She couldn't help but smile.Back when she was with Shayne, he treated her fairly well. At least he gave her jewelry and a house.However, the cost of maintaining a villa was too high for her.With Shayne covering the expenses, she could enjoy it without worry.But what if Shayne found out that the child in her belly wasn't his, but Rowan's?Shayne would definitely be furious. And then she'd end up raising the baby on her own.So, to reduce her living costs, she decided to sell the villa.Luna called a real estate agent. The agent

    "My friends told me to prepare gifts and plan surprises from time to time."After understanding Julian's intentions, I suddenly felt like crying.When I was with Shayne, I put in so much effort to maintain that relationship, but Shayne never took it seriously.Now, in this relationship, I no longer needed to overthink things. Julian cared about everything.Tears filled my eyes, and I tried my best to hold them back.I looked at Julian and uttered, "Thank you for being willing to put effort into maintaining our relationship."Julian reached out and pulled me into his embrace, wiping my tears away. "Why are you crying?""Because I feel that in this relationship, we're on the same page."I pulled away from Julian's embrace and gazed into his eyes seriously. "But giving gifts too often can also create a misunderstanding. I can't expect surprises every day. There are only so many gifts in the world and only so many types of surprises."Once you've given them all, if I'm waiting for

    Although the diamonds on the earrings were not large, it had been a long time since Shayne had given me a gift.I didn't like them, but I still accepted them.However, I later found out that the earrings Shayne gave me were just a bonus gift that came with the gemstones he'd bought for Luna.I was deeply hurt, but I could only endure it because I couldn't let my unborn child grow up without a father.Unfortunately, I never expected that I would lose the baby.So, there was no longer any reason for me to forgive Shayne.A flash of hurt passed through my eyes.Back then, I even thought that maybe I wasn't worthy of such expensive jewelry.But the gifts I received from Julian told me otherwise."Do you like it?" Julian asked cautiously."I love it," I said, not wanting to look away from the diamond.I liked transparent things, just like emeralds and diamonds.After admiring it enough, I put the necklace back in the box and handed it to Julian. "But it's too expensive. I think

    "They won't even pay me. Maybe after leaving the company, I'll have no money, no job, and no place to live. I might end up living a miserable life."Rowan wasn't lying. He knew exactly how his parents treated him, so he didn't dare to think optimistically because his parents would never treat him that well.After a long silence, Julian finally asked, "So, do you have to go back to that family?"Rowan shook his head. "It's not that I have to go back. But staying here and seeing Luna makes me feel terrible. She chose to be with me because she wanted to build a life with me. But my family treated her badly, and I didn't protect her."I let them hurt her. I want to make it up to her, but it's too late. She has her own career now, and she's making a lot of money. She doesn't need me at all now. So, maybe leaving would be better for both of us."When Julian heard this, he immediately knew how to handle the situation. "You have two choices.""What is it?" Rowan asked curiously."The fi

    Rowan answered without hesitation, "Yes.""You're not coming back?" Patrick asked, his voice turning sharp."Did Luna say something to you again?"Rowan didn't understand why his father was asking this, but he still replied, "No, she just asked me if I had ever dated Hannah before we'd gotten together. I told her no. After all the misunderstandings were cleared up, she just stopped talking to me."So, don't worry. Luna may love money, but she has dignity. You don't have to be concerned that she'll cling to me."Patrick still didn't believe him. "If that's the case, then why did you suddenly change your mind?""Because I've figured out what will happen to me if I go back," Rowan answered.Patrick was rendered speechless."You told me the family business was going bankrupt and asked me to come back to help fix the company's problems."Rowan had sacrificed so much for his family, yet his parents never acknowledged his efforts.Of course, he wasn't without resentment."To help y

    Patrick was utterly speechless.All these years, Rowan had rarely complained in front of his parents, but that didn't mean he had no resentment in his heart."Maybe you think that since I've grown up, I'm no longer your responsibility. However, I have an obligation to support you in your old age. But have you really reached the point where you need my support?"Patrick was actually aware that he hadn't done certain things well in the past, but he would never admit it in front of Rowan. "What, just because we're not old yet, you're going to abandon us?"Rowan was amazed by Patrick's ability to shift the blame. "I never said that. But I made it clear from the beginning. If you'd rather let the family go bankrupt than tell me about the company's crisis, then there's nothing I can do."At that, Rowan was ready to hang up the phone.Realizing what Rowan meant, Patrick immediately raised his voice. "But if you don't come back, what about Hannah?"In a few days, Hannah would be moving

    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
