Shayne knelt down and looked at Zach who stood before him. He smiled and explained, "Mama Luna said the baby in her belly was making her feel unwell the past few days, so she was in a bad mood and neglected you. But today, she realized her mistake after reflecting on it. Zach, can you forgive her?"Zach raised his head to look at Luna.Luna gave him a gentle smile. "Zach, give me another chance, okay?"Zach lowered his head. He wanted to refuse. But he also understood that since his dad had taken the initiative to make excuses for her, it meant that he really looked forward to them reconciling. If he refused, his dad would definitely scold him for being immature and then force him to agree.Although he was young, he wasn't stupid. He nodded and replied, "Okay."Luna took his hand. "What do you want? I'll take you to buy it."Her tone was light and cheerful. It was as if she had never mistreated Zach before.Zach didn't know how to respond.Luna tried guessing."Do you want a

However, Luna still wanted to buy him a game console. She definitely hoped he'd get addicted to it and turn bad. That way, his dad wouldn't like him anymore.Zach was about to speak, but when he saw the hopeful look in Shayne's eyes, he ultimately stayed quiet and nodded. "She's great.""Really?" Shayne rubbed Zach's cheek. "Since you like Luna as well, then let's live happily as a family of four from now on."Right now, Luna could still pretend to be kind to Zach in front of Shayne. But what about the future? Zach was very worried that Luna would mistreat him again in the future. As such, he didn't respond to Shayne's comment.…When Willow got home, she put down her little backpack and excitedly ran up to me.She gestured enthusiastically as she spoke. "Today, Zach apologized to me in front of the whole class!"I pretended to be surprised and asked, "Really?"Willow nodded enthusiastically. "That's right! I'm so happy."After she finished speaking, she burrowed into my embra

Many parents seemed to like having their daughters learn how to play the piano or dance. That way, their children would appear more elegant and refined.Was Julian like that too? Did he think that learning martial arts was too rough?Willow's good mood suddenly turned into sadness."How could I?" Julian quickly denied it. "I'm very happy."Willow stared at him blankly.Julian explained, "If you learn martial arts, you'll still be able to protect yourself even if I'm not by your side. This is exactly what I've been wishing for."Willow was so excited, she cupped his face and planted several kisses on his cheeks. "Daddy, you're the best!""Well, now the question is—do you want a private trainer to come to our home or would you like to register for a class?" asked Julian.Willow didn't know how to choose, so she turned her head to look at me.I was rather conflicted as well. "If we register her for a class, there will be many kids her age there. Perhaps the interaction would ma

Since that was Julian's mother, that meant she was here for Julian, and it was a matter between mother and son. It wasn't my place to get involved."I don't like her," Willow said softly after her grandmother had gone inside. "She doesn't want Daddy to raise me. She wants to dump me at my maternal grandparents' place. I love them, but their health is poor."Although Willow was very young, she knew a lot. She didn't have a chance to say so in the past, so they stayed bottled up inside her. It left her very unhappy.She was better now, and her grandmother's appearance gave her a chance to vent everything that was on her mind.I felt heartbroken as I listened to her complaints. She was only five years old, yet she had experienced so much. That was no easy feat.I held her tightly. "It's okay, Willow. You have me from now on.""Okay."…Amber strode up the stairs and pushed open the door to Julian's study. "Julian!"Julian set his work down when he heard her familiar voice. He r

The housekeeper had interacted with Amber before and knew of her knack for finding faults, so she didn't bother explaining herself. Instead, she calmly turned off the TV. She then stood up and said, "She's already asleep."Amber turned and headed toward Willow's bedroom....Willow was a very well-behaved child. She went to bed every night at nine.Tonight was no different. Once she was tucked in, she stared at me with wide eyes and said, "Mommy, I don't want to hear any more princess stories."I was a little surprised. "Why not?"She used to love hearing stories about pretty little princesses."Because the princesses in fairy tales always need someone else to save them," answered Willow.Today, she had begun to realize that waiting for help from others meant that she had to suffer more grievances. She also had to wait for someone else to notice her unhappiness.However, it would be different once she learned martial arts. She could live freely and happily. She could protect

Julian's voice was low. It had a mesmerizing quality to it on this quiet night. I nodded and replied, "Okay."…I went back into the bedroom. When Willow saw me, she mumbled softly, "She's always like that. She insists on coming to talk to me when I'm already asleep. I can't speak, so she scolds me and calls me a little mute…"The more she spoke, the sadder she got. "She even says I'm a burden, that if it weren't for me, Daddy would be willing to find a wife."Tears rolled down her cheeks in large drops.I gently wiped them away. "Your Dad doesn't want to get married simply because he doesn't want to."Willow looked at me, stunned. "Really?""Of course," I replied with a smile as I comforted her. "Once he meets someone he likes, he'll be more eager than anyone else to get married. So, don't blame yourself, okay?"Willow nodded.I picked up a storybook and resumed reading to her.Perhaps the story was too nice to listen to or the weight had been lifted off her chest, but W

I didn't avoid his gaze. Instead, I met it confidently.Julian smiled. "Thank you.""You're welcome," I replied. "I'm doing what I should do."…Once the toys were brought home, Zach sat in the living room. He didn't have the chance to open them yet.Mason hid behind Luna, staring intently at the toys in Zach's arms.Zach could tell that Mason wanted them too, but he had no intention of giving them to him.Mason whispered to Luna, "Mom, I want those toys too."Luna told him patiently, "We bought these for your brother..."Mason fell silent.Luna could sense his unhappiness, so she quickly reassured him, "I'll buy you some tomorrow when the store opens, okay?"Mason reluctantly nodded. "Okay."Seeing that Luna had treated Zach well, Shayne naturally had to treat Mason well in return. As such, he bent down and looked at Zach. "Why don't we play with your brother together?" All three of them looked at Zach.Zach could sense their expectations. They expected him to give in.

Zach would never hear it again.…The lights were still on in the living room. Luna watched as Mason happily played with the toy. Her mood was pretty good. She glanced toward Zach's bedroom.Feigning concern, she asked, "I noticed Zach doesn't seem in a good mood. Shayne, shouldn't you check on him?"Without hesitation, Shayne replied, "There's no need to do so."Luna raised a brow. She then propped her chin on one hand as she studied Shayne.In the past, she had been openly unkind to Zach, often showing him her displeasure. It seemed that she was indeed wrong. Luna's smile deepened. Like today, the toy was meant for Zach, but once they got home, Mason had expressed interest in it. Zach then had to hand over the toy to Mason. If he didn't, Shayne would have to scold Zach in the name of maintaining family harmony."Dad," said Mason. He sounded sleepy, but he still stared longingly at the toy. "I want to sleep, but I still want to play with the toy..."Shayne replied patien

"I believed it. Kelly even said that if Stephanie really wanted to break up with me, she'd move out of my place."Even though we weren't married and we were just dating, we were already living together. Kelly said if I used moving out as a threat, Stephanie would cave."The more Shayne listened, the more silent he became. How could Spencer be even dumber than he had been back then?But seeing his friend hurting, he didn't have the heart to rub salt in the wound.Shayne asked, "You didn't seriously believe what Kelly said, did you?""Yeah." Tears slid down Spencer's cheeks. "But before I even had the chance to threaten her, Stephanie had already packed up all her stuff and left me."That day I came home, full of confidence, thinking that as soon as I spoke up, she'd make up with me. But… I opened the door and saw that all the photos of us hanging on the wall had been taken down."The woman who used to wait for me at home with dinner ready was gone. Everything that belonged to her

"I didn't say anything before because I thought there was no point," Spencer said.Spencer wasn't stupid. If he couldn't even see through all of that, he had no business running a company. He just never took it seriously before.He figured Stephanie would just throw a small tantrum at most, and that would be it. He never thought it would lead to such serious consequences.He continued, "Did you really think I was that dumb? That I couldn't tell what you were doing?"Kelly stayed silent.Spencer couldn't be bothered to say anything more to her. He got in his car and drove away.He arrived at a bar, ordered a few bottles of liquor, and then called Shayne. "Are you free? Come find me. I'm in a bad mood."Shayne had just gotten home, planning to spend some time with his wife and kids. But hearing Spencer's tone, he immediately said, "Okay."He turned to Luna and said, "Spencer's looking for me. I'm heading out for a bit."Luna, exhausted from a full day of work, didn't feel like d

Kelly froze. "She's really willing to break up with you?"Spencer nodded. "She told me not to go looking for her anymore."As he spoke, it felt like needles were stabbing his heart.He had always been certain that Stephanie loved him. He had been so sure that she would never leave him.So, he had gotten arrogant, thinking no matter what he did, she would always forgive him.But he had forgotten that…Stephanie was human, too.She could get hurt, too.Spencer said, "She wasn't just throwing a tantrum. She thought it over carefully and decided she'd be better off without me."Seeing his pained expression, Kelly moved closer and pulled him into a hug."She really doesn't know how lucky she was," she said. "Meeting a guy as good as you and still letting you go? Isn't she scared someone else will swoop in and steal you away?"To Spencer, her words were like kicking him while he was down. "But I only like her. I don't want anyone else."Kelly knew that if she asked now, "What abo

Spencer asked, "Just because of one little argument?""In your eyes, maybe it was just a little argument," Stephanie said calmly. "But for me, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back. In this relationship, I was the one who always gave more."No matter what Kelly did, the one who ended up hurt was always me. You only had to take her side and blame me to settle everything. So, to you, it was always just small stuff."She continued, "Nobody wants to spend their whole life being wronged like that. I don't either. So, after that day, I really thought it through…"How much love do I still have left for you? Is it enough to keep tolerating you and her? The answer was no. I even realized at that moment that I didn't love you anymore."Forget tolerating both of you. Even just dealing with one of you felt unbearable. Then, I thought, since it's gotten to this point… We might as well break up."When Stephanie said this, her eyes carried a relaxed smile. "I just haven't figured ou

Shannon shook her head. "That's why I really don't think much of Luna. If it weren't for our son liking her…"Patrick understood how Shannon felt. "Honestly, we did wrong by Luna before. Once she's willing to come back, we should make it up to her as much as we can."Shannon was unwilling, but seeing Patrick insist, she could only mumble, "Fine, we'll do what you say.""Okay."…Hannah noticed that over the past few days, Patrick and Shannon hadn't contacted her at all, and she immediately found it strange.In the past, the two elders were very close to her son, almost seeing him every day. What was going on now?After putting her son to sleep, Hannah took the initiative and called Shannon. "Mrs. Cunningham..."Shannon frowned and glanced at Patrick, speaking in a low voice, "It's a call from Hannah."Patrick's face darkened almost instantly, but he forced himself to hold it in. "Don't tell her we went to see Rowan, and don't let on that we know the truth. If she wants to fool

Rowan shook his head. "If it were really that simple, that would be nice."Patrick didn't understand why Rowan said that.Rowan continued, "Before Luna and I divorced, she had already guessed you were lying, so she made it very clear to Mason…"If I chose to come back and help you, she would divorce me. If I stayed with her, she would continue living the hard life with me."Patrick hadn't expected the truth to be like this. His face turned even uglier. Shannon was also in pain.Rowan tilted his head up, staring at the ceiling. "But in the end, I was too scared the company would fall apart, so I chose to go back. To completely cut ties with me, she went and started dating Shayne."At first, Luna still had hope for him. After all, they had truly loved each other for so long.But over time, through all the back-and-forth, she probably realized he was never going to change, so she finally gave up completely.Recently, the comics she created have been doing very well. Because of tha

Rowan said, "Come on, I'll take you to eat."Patrick followed behind Rowan and asked, "Have you thought about what to do with Mason in the future?"Rowan didn't take the question seriously. "Why would I?""He's your only child. If you don't acknowledge him, you'll end our family line."Rowan didn't know why, but looking at the streetlights and the thinning crowd around him, he felt unusually calm. "Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"When they reached the restaurant, he handed the menu to his mother. "See what you want to eat."Shannon picked a light vegetarian dish and said, "We just didn't expect Hannah to lie to us!"Rowan crossed his legs and repeated her words. "You didn't expect Hannah to lie to you?"Patrick ordered two meat dishes before saying, "Exactly. Who would've thought she would dare lie about something like that?"Rowan stared at his father. "So, just because you said it, even if you had doubts, you really thought I cheated on her with Luna…"Shouldn't you ha

Willow stared at me in shock for a long time before finally asking, "You can really do that?"I nodded. "Yeah. As long as you want to, you can keep in touch with her as much as you want."Willow jumped up excitedly. "That's awesome!"Just then, there was an urgent matter at the company that needed Julian's attention. After taking the call, he happened to overhear my conversation with Willow.He immediately got an idea. "During summer break, if you want to hang out with Pamela every day, she might not have that much free time."Willow's smile disappeared instantly. She asked, "Then, what should I do?"He guided her, "Do you think there's an excuse that could make both of you improve and leave her mom no reason to say no?"She followed his lead and quickly figured it out. "Studying?"He didn't give it away directly. "Oh?""Daddy, how about you hire a tutor for me during summer break? I can get a head start on school! Then, I'll ask Pamela to join me. Her mom will definitely agre

Alice raised her voice and asked, "You two already broke up, and he's still coming around asking you to apologize?"Stephanie shrugged. "What else could it be? You don't think I'd made all that up just now, do you?"Alice had never thought that, but Spencer's behavior still struck her as outrageous. "Do you need me to help you?""No, it's fine." Stephanie had already moved on, so she needed to handle it herself. "I can deal with it."With that, she walked out of the hotel.Spencer saw her come out and quickly stepped in front of her. "Can we talk?"He expected Stephanie would agree, but she gave him a glance and asked, "What do we have to talk about?""I know you're upset because of her, but can you be the bigger person? If you just apologize to her, a lot of things can be smoothed over."She looked at him, confused. "Why should I be the bigger person?""Because you're my girlfriend!" He tried to persuade her.Hearing that, Stephanie couldn't help but laugh out loud. "It look
