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

"Hurry up and send me to school!"I did my best to hold back my laughter. I glanced at Julian. His mood seemed pretty good. His usually cold face now had a smile.…When we reached the entrance of the kindergarten, we happened to run into Shayne dropping off Zach.Willow held her head high like a proud little peacock as she strutted past Zach.I noticed her clenched little fists and felt a sense of satisfaction.Zach paused briefly when he walked up beside me.I didn't look at him, and for once, he didn't try to speak to me either. Instead, he headed straight into the school.Willow's figure disappeared into the school building.I turned to look for Julian, but Shayne blocked my way. "Luna and I are doing very well together now."I had to stop and look up at him. "So?"Shayne looked down at me condescendingly. "So, even if you regret divorcing me and want to get back together..."I interrupted him. "I'm very happy with my life now. So, rest assured, Shayne, I won't come fin

Before Shayne finished speaking, Luna firmly pulled him into her embrace. Her beautiful eyes were full of disdain, yet she remained patient. "It's probably because you were married to her for six years. Even after the divorce, you still see her as family subconsciously. But now, Aralyn is treating you like a stranger, so you feel like she has betrayed you."Luna gently patted his back, soothing him. "That's why you're feeling uncomfortable."After Shayne heard her analysis, he asked blankly, "Is that so?"Luna offered him her conclusion. "Of course."Shayne's unease disappeared. Luna gently stroked her stomach once she was done soothing him. It seemed that despite him constantly claiming he didn't love Aralyn, he had unknowingly developed feelings for her during their six years together. He just hadn't realized it yet.However, Shayne wasn't a fool. Even if she repeatedly emphasized to him that his feelings for Aralyn weren't love but something else, it wouldn't be long befor

Alice opened the door with a cheerful voice and entered the office.Julian casually tossed the document he was reading aside. His usually expressionless face appeared even more indifferent. "Ms. York...""Why are you so formal?" Alice pouted in dissatisfaction. "Julian, when we first met, it was with the intention of dating."Julian didn't have any time to spare her. "Do you want to leave on your own or should I have security escort you out?"Alice stepped closer, planting her hands on his desk. She tilted her head and asked, "Do you have to be so heartless?"Julian ignored her. Instead, he took out his phone and was about to call security when Alice immediately tried to hold his hand in place."I've thought about what you said yesterday!"Julian reacted swiftly, avoiding her touch with disgust.Alice was disappointed she hadn't managed to grab his hand. "If you're willing to date me, I can allow Willow to live with us."Everyone knew Julian was a workaholic. His focus was on

Avery said with a smile, "I've sent the numbers to your WhatsApp. Take a look."Luna opened her WhatsApp upon hearing that. When she saw the contacts, she smiled. "Are all of them there?""Yeah," Avery replied. She had put in effort and even included screenshots of all the products listed in Aralyn's storefront.Luna carefully cross-checked them and found that the contacts Avery sent could produce almost everything in Aralyn's shop. Only then did she smile and reply, "Thank you. Once I make money, I'll definitely remember your kindness."Avery wasn't expecting Luna to actually pay her, but she appreciated the sentiment. Playing along good-naturedly, she said, "Then I'll be waiting for you to strike it rich!""No problem," Luna replied. She could no longer be bothered with pleasantries anymore and added, "I'll contact them now and see how things go.""Alright."Luna hung up and immediately started calling the numbers Avery had sent, negotiating cooperation deals with each of th

"I ended up in this situation because of you," said Avery. Since she had sacrificed a lot for Luna, she found it necessary to inform her about it.Hearing this, Luna felt a pang of guilt. "Then why don't you come work at my company?""It's fine," Avery declined. "Your comic company just started, and you're short on funds. If I joined, you'd have to pay me a salary. That's not practical."Luna didn't respondPuzzled, Avery asked, "But why are you suddenly asking about merchandise?"Luna took a deep breath. There was no one who could help her now. Moreover, she was pregnant, so bearing all the pressure alone was rather exhausting.She replied without hesitation, "Because I want to start producing merchandise now.""Then I can help you take a look at Aralyn's storefront to see what she's selling." Avery was currently free, so she could help Luna out a little and wouldn't mind doing so."Thank you," Luna said gratefully."I can also summarize details like materials and put every

Shayne couldn't figure out the answer. His phone rang. He took the phone and glanced at it. It was Luna."What's the matter?" he asked.Luna lightly bit her lip. She didn't know how to start, but for the sake of her work's development, she decided to risk it. "Didn't you agree to transfer money to me so I can promote my work?"She was worried that the delay would cause complications and that Shayne would regret his words.As such, she contacted him early in the morning. She asked cautiously, "When will you transfer me the money?"Shayne was willing to help Luna promote her work mainly because he wanted Aralyn to see him treating Luna well. He wanted her to be jealous. It would have been best if she immediately regretted getting together with Julian and broke up with him to remarry Shayne. As such, he would definitely transfer the sum to Luna.Shayne answered without hesitation, "I'll have someone transfer it to you now."Luna finally let out a sigh of relief upon receiving

Joseph said fearlessly, "Anyway, I've said that I won't go to work, so I won't do so!"Lucas took a deep breath. "Alright! You said it yourself. Just don't regret it in the future!"Joseph shrugged nonchalantly. "Of course."Lucas called his secretary in front of Joseph and instructed him to not transfer Joseph a single cent from this month onward. He then blocked Joseph's number.Since Joseph refused to listen, then he had to use this opportunity as a father to teach him a lesson.Lucas said casually, "Remember, you chose this path.""Yeah," replied Joseph. He stood up and left.…When Shayne reached the office, his mind was filled with thoughts of Aralyn. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and silently gazed into the distance.For some reason, ever since she left him, she seemed to look better with each passing day. When he went to seek her out a few days ago, the furrow of her brows showed a hint of sadness. However, that had been replaced by ease and joy today.It w

Lucas asked irritably, "What? Did you call just to mock me and kick me while I'm down?""Of course not." Danny's temper was very good. Although Lucas was already losing his temper at him, he still said with a smile, "Didn't you invest a lot of money in the project we worked on together? Although you said you didn't want that money back in the past, I still think it's better to return it to you."Danny repeated what Julian had suggested but in his own way. "It's not a lot of money, so it might not help you much. However, it's the best I can do within my capabilities."Lucas asked seriously, "Did Mr. Hughes teach you this?"Danny was in disbelief. "How did you know?""Because I know you..." Lucas said awkwardly. "You'd be thrilled to see me struggling and would happily watch from the sidelines."Danny didn't deny it. Lucas continued, "Tell Mr. Hughes that I appreciate it and thank you."Before Danny could respond, Lucas had already hung up....Lucas sat on the couch and loo

Once Lucas said that, he felt a little hesitant, worried that Julian might reject him.Julian's voice was frigid. "I don't think this has anything to do with feelings. Instead, you tried to collaborate with others, got rejected, and then thought of how you worked with me for many years, right?"Lucas tried to flatter him. "So, Mr. Hughes, would you still be willing to give me another chance?""We signed a contract with a new company yesterday," Julian replied tactfully.Lucas said, "It wouldn't be right to cancel your new agreement just for us…" His face turned pale as a sheet.Julian showed no regard for their past relationship. "Yeah."Lucas replied awkwardly. "I'll think of another solution, then."With that, he hung up immediately.Upon hearing the end tone from his phone, Julian remained quiet for a moment before dialing Danny's number.Danny sounded surprised. "Mr. Hughes?" Julian got straight to the point. "Are you aware of the Wilson family's current situation?""

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
