Chapter 807

Author: Walking on Clouds
But somehow, Rowan's parents found out he was working.

They contacted him out of the blue, saying there was a cash flow problem at home.

They needed him to cover some expenses, so he transferred all his money to them.

When he returned to Luna, he felt as though he had nothing, so he rejected her.

Luna looked at him with sadness in her eyes, and she asked if he had no feelings for her.

If that was the case, she would keep her distance from him from now on.

Rowan didn't feel that way, but at the time, he didn't know how to respond.

So, after a long silence, he nodded and said yes.

Luna was heartbroken, tears streaming down her face.

She said she would never bother him again.

Rowan thought making money from projects was easy.

As long as he earned a little more, he could explain everything to Luna.

But without Luna's connections, the projects he got reduced.

By the time he finally reached the financial goal he had set for himself—the point where he felt worthy of seeing Luna

    Luna looked at Rowan and asked. "How am I supposed to believe what you're saying now?"Rowan stared at Luna."You told me your parents took all your money. How can you guarantee that won't happen again? If they ask for your money again, are you just going to disappear without a word and make me wait this long all over again?"Once was a year and a half. Ten times would be 15 years. How much time do I really have to waste waiting for you?"Rowan knew he was in the wrong, so all he could do was apologize. "I know I messed up. I swear, it won't happen again. "Break up with Shayne. Get back together with me. I'm begging you."At that time, Luna hadn't completely gotten over Rowan, but she wasn't someone who would just throw her principles away."No. I decided to be with him. Unless he does something wrong, I would never leave him. What kind of life you want to live from now on is your business. It has nothing to do with me. But please don't bother me."With that, Luna walked around

    Rowan walked up to Luna and uttered, "What Shayne did was wrong. Don't bother getting worked up over him.""I don't think Shayne respects people, so he's not right for me."Luna looked straight into Rowan's eyes. "And I don't like him. There's no point in staying together."Even if she stayed with Shayne, he would always believe that everything he had achieved was because of his own ability.He would think his woman never really contributed much.And in the end, when younger, prettier women appeared around him, he would definitely find some excuse to cheat.Luna could already see what her future would be like with him, and she didn't want that kind of life.Rowan understood what Luna meant. "Then, would you be willing to be with me? I know you still have feelings for me. And I've been making money lately. I think it's enough to support you. As long as you're willing to be with me, I promise I'll treat you well. At the very least, better than Shayne ever did.""Shayne said that

    Luna didn't want Rowan to fall out too badly with his family.Or maybe she thought that since his salary came from the company, she was afraid he'd lose such a good position, so she compromised.After moving back home with him, Luna not only had to work on her comics every day but also endured his parents constantly making trouble for her.Rowan was always busy, so he rarely took Luna's feelings into account.Over time, Luna couldn't take it anymore and started lashing out at him. He knew she was upset, so he let her vent without complaint.Their situation finally took a turn when Luna got pregnant.Rowan took a deep breath.Even now, he still didn't understand why his own parents were so cruel to the woman he loved.After Luna got pregnant, his parents stopped making things so hard for her.Rowan and Luna thought that maybe, finally, they would have some peace.But then, Luna suddenly started having stomach pains.He rushed her to the hospital, and after an examination, the

    Did Hannah lie to Rowan's parents?Was that why they thought Luna was a homewrecker and treated her that way?Rowan decided to get to the bottom of it. He reached out to a friend who had some connections and asked for help investigating who the father of Hannah's child really was.His friend was a little curious. "Why are you looking into this?""I just want to know the truth about the child's father," Rowan replied impatiently.He did a quick calculation based on when Hannah's child was born and realized that, at the time, he had been in college. He was miles and miles away from Hannah.There was no way he could have been involved with her! What on earth were his parents thinking?His friend seemed to put the pieces together. "Don't tell me Hannah's been telling everyone the child is yours.""I suspect so," Rowan said, not confirming outright."But I need to be sure, so I have to investigate.""Got it," replied his friend calmly.Not long after, his friend got back to him w

    Shannon grabbed Patrick's sleeve. "What should we do?""What if this information is fake?" Patrick couldn't stop trembling when he thought about everything they had done to Luna and Mason, but he still told himself that Hannah couldn't possibly be that bold."Let's find a way to meet with Hannah first, then pull out a strand of her kid's hair and get an expedited paternity test," he suggested.Shannon felt just as heavy-hearted. "Guess that's the only way."She then called Hannah, forcing a smile and trying her best to act as if nothing was out of the ordinary. "Hannah, where are you? I miss the little one."Hannah chuckled. "We're not far from you guys. How about we come over?""Alright."After hanging up, Shannon set her phone aside and looked at Patrick. "If the results come back negative and the kid really has nothing to do with us, what should we do?""Get revenge, of course! What else? Hmph! If she dared to lie to me, she would have to pay the price!" Patrick said coldly.

    Patrick hid with Nathan and, in the process, carefully plucked a few strands of his hair.Nathan let out a small yelp of pain.Patrick quickly said, "Be careful! Don't hit your head!"Nathan looked up and saw that there was indeed a cabinet corner not far from his head.Pouting, he muttered, "I'll be more careful next time."With that, he ran off to hide somewhere else.Patrick found another hiding spot for himself, then took out a small transparent bag and placed the strands of hair inside.They played with Nathan for a long time before Hannah, who had other plans, took him and left.Patrick finally instructed the driver to take them to the forensic identification center.He plucked a strand of his own hair and one of Shannon's, then handed them to the staff. "Check if we are the child's grandparents.""Alright."…Julian was working in his office when his phone suddenly buzzed with a message. He glanced at it and saw that it was from an old acquaintance."I want to meet

    "I love you too," I said, chuckling."She's probably getting impatient. You should head down now.""Alright. I'm going, then." Julian reluctantly stood up.I lifted my hand and gave him a small wave.Only then did Julian leave.…"Your test results are out." The staff member handed the report to Patrick.Patrick took it absentmindedly. When he glanced at it, he felt as if his world had collapsed.He staggered a few steps backward, gripping a chair and sitting down heavily.Shannon took one look at the results, and her whole body nearly went limp. She had to hold onto the table to stay upright."What do we do now? The child has nothing to do with us," she uttered helplessly.As she spoke, tears began to stream down her face again. "Hannah tricked us! She never even dated Rowan! Nathan is not Rowan's! Because of her, we drove our daughter-in-law away!"Shannon's mind was a complete mess. "Hurry and think of a solution!"Patrick's hands trembled as he pulled out his phone and

    Luna hung up without hesitation.…Shannon was anxious. "What should we do now?"On the other hand, Patrick remained calm. "At worst, we'll just go there ourselves and slowly treat them better. They'll forgive us, eventually, won't they?"Shannon thought about it for a moment before nodding. "Yeah, we have no other choice. What about Hannah? How should we handle her?""Well, we'll find the right time to explain everything to her, but now isn't that time.""That's true."…Julian went downstairs.Stephanie was already waiting in the private lounge, and she had brewed a pot of tea.Julian sat across from her and took a sip. The tea was bitter yet carried a hint of fragrance."Weren't you busy with work? What brings you here?" he asked casually.Stephanie was highly capable and knew about his past.Julian had once considered recruiting her. But no matter what, Stephanie refused to join his company, so he eventually gave up."Yeah." Stephanie looked tired, but seeing Julian s

    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
