A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 100
Luna's smile disappeared in an instant. She had already considered Shayne's money as her own. Hence, to her, buying things for Zach was like cutting into her own flesh.Though immensely dissatisfied, she dared not let Shayne notice how she actually felt, so she looked down while pretending to pick out items.After a long time, she suddenly thought of a solution. "Shayne, we've already spent so much today. I know you're working hard alone, and making money isn't easy."Luna walked up to Shayne. "Why don't we just give Zach the things we bought for Mason?"Shayne stared at Luna, not saying anything. He suddenly felt Luna was being hypocritical.When she picked out the biggest diamond in the mall and bought the heaviest gold lucky charm for Mason, she didn't think about his struggles to make money.In the half-month they had been together, she didn't think about how hard he worked when she swiped his card and lived a fancy life.But when it came to buying something for Zach, she su

She only took a very small suitcase. After receiving the divorce certificate, she left. Shayne sat on the bed in a daze.If not for Luna's extravagant spending habits, he probably still wouldn't have realized just how much he had wronged Aralyn in the past.A sudden pang of guilt struck him. He took out his phone, intending to call Aralyn. But no matter how many times he tried, the calls wouldn't go through.Shayne then opened WhatsApp, wanting to send Aralyn a message. But he didn't know what to say, so he only sent a sticker in the end.However, his message only had one check mark. Only then did he realize he had been blocked.…"This is the result of our project team's hard work over an entire year."Aaron Mitchell, the leader of the project, handed the phone to Julian.Julian took it. The primary business of Hughes Group had been developing smoothly in the past two years. To expand it further, they decided to venture into other industries.However, Julian had no intention

"Focus on meeting the needs of the female players," I quickly answered.Julian looked at me intently, and I met his gaze. "What? Am I wrong?""Not at all," Julian replied with a faint smile. Then, he raised his hand and stroked my hair gently.I stared at him in surprise."It just so happens that this project is short of illustrators. Would you mind helping out?" I had been quite busy lately. Julian knew I didn't have that much free time, so he quickly added, "You just need to draw small items in the game, like gifts and flowers."Those things weren't challenging to draw, so I didn't refuse. "Sure.""I'll give you a bonus once you're done." Julian sounded unusually gentle."Thanks," I said, smiling.After that, I focused on coloring the third chapter of my comic.For me, aside from taking care of Willow, my most important work was creating comics. Once I got tired of drawing, I took a break and started sketching roses.The vibrant bouquet of flowers turned out beautifully

Shayne looked guilty and regretful, which baffled me. What was going on with him?He approached me slowly. "Can we talk?"Julian also looked down at me.Shayne had been acting strange lately. In the past few days, every time he saw me, he would always say weird things.Even though I no longer had feelings for him, he was still convinced that I was hopelessly in love with him. Today, he was asking to talk to me."We have nothing to talk about." I declined without even thinking about it.I shifted my gaze from him to the little kids walking out of the kindergarten. "We've already said whatever needed to be said.""I just wanted to ask. Did I treat you badly when we were married?" Shaye asked, his tone heavy.What a pointless question. Had he treated me well, we wouldn't have ended up divorcing.Without waiting for my answer, Shayne continued, "When I'm with Luna, as long as she acts sweet and tells me what she wants, I always buy it for her. "After I bought the things she want

Shayne's heart ached as well. He patted Zach's back gently. "You have Mama Luna."Zach's crying came to an abrupt halt.Thinking he had comforted Zach, Shayne continued, "She'll treat you even better than Aralyn did.""No, she won't." Zach pulled away from Shayne's embrace."Dad, stop lying to me. I may be a kid, but I understand everything," Zach added seriously.Shayne wanted to say more, but Mason interjected, "Dad, can we go home now?"Shayne turned to look at him.Mason frowned. "I'm hungry.""Let's go, then. We can't have you going hungry," Shayne uttered without hesitation.Zach stayed rooted to the spot, watching as Shayne walked away with Mason hand-in-hand.Without realizing it, his dad had become someone else's dad, too.But when… did it turn out this way? Zach didn't understand.…The instructor arrived early.As we reached the entrance of the house, we saw a stranger standing in the yard uneasily."Why didn't you let him wait in the living room?" Julian aske

Not expecting Julian to trust him this much, Eric felt gratified. "Alright."When he left the study, he thoughtfully closed the door behind him.Julian sat at his desk and picked up his phone. "Continue.""The staff for the comic company has been fully recruited. The company has also been established successfully," Mark reported seriously.Now, Julian could proceed with signing Aralyn to his comic company.He crossed his legs gracefully, a hint of warmth flickering in his usually icy eyes. "Got it.""Is there anything else?" Mark inquired."I asked Lyn to design props for the gaming company. Make sure to give her a bonus," said Julian.If it were for a regular employee, Mark would have come up with a reasonable bonus amount in no time. But Julian clearly treated Aralyn differently. Everyone knew Julian was a workaholic whose mind revolved solely around the company. Yet, the typically professional and business-like Julian had insisted on bringing Aralyn into the company. Des

When Willow finished resting, the whole family gathered in the dining room to enjoy dinner together.Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Eric couldn't help but swallow hard.Julian noticed this and was worried Eric might feel too shy to eat. Hence, he served Eric some food with his utensils.Eric quickly waved his hands. "No need. I can do it myself.""Don't hold back," Julian uttered calmly.I glanced at Julian unintentionally. It was strange how his demeanor and interactions often made him seem distant and aloof. Yet, in everyday life, he came across as genuinely thoughtful.Willow had taken a few bites of her food. Once her hunger subsided a bit, she regained her usual energy as she asked, "Mommy, if I keep this up and train every day, can I become a martial arts master?"Though she hadn't even started practicing martial arts or boxing yet, her earlier dream of being a boxer had already been replaced by new ambitions.I wasn't sure what she meant by 'martial arts
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 107
It was clear what she was trying to say—Mason needed to have that lucky charm.However, Shayne didn't plan to give in to her. "I've given you plenty of money recently. If you really want to give Mason one, then take him out and buy him one yourself."As he spoke, he nudged Zach gently. "Want to open it and see if you like it?""Yes!" Zach realized that although Shayne always sided with Luna and Mason, when it came to major issues like this, Shayne would always back him up.Setting the paper bag aside, Zach opened the jewelry box and saw the bright golden item inside."Dad, I love it!" he exclaimed."Then go keep it in a safe place," Shayne replied, patting him on the back.Zach sprinted back to his room and closed the door. He opened his custom-made table. There was a hidden drawer there, and he slid it open, revealing several passbooks.The money there had been saved by Aralyn. There were also several property deeds, most of which were for commercial spaces. These were also th

Luna got straight to the point in her reply. "But I'm better than her. If you're with me, your life would be a lot less troublesome."Rowan saw the notification on WhatsApp. He picked up his phone, glanced at the message, and finally replied, "But I don't like mistresses."He didn't understand why the love he worked so hard to pursue was never his, to begin with. However, Julian wasn't interested in Luna at all, yet he effortlessly got Luna's affection.Luna stared at the words on the screen. It felt like a sharp stab to her heart. The pain was unbearable. However, she schooled her expression and forced a smile onto her face. "I'm not a mistress. I'm just courageously pursuing love."Rowan didn't know how to respond to Luna, so he decided to ignore her.Not getting a reply from Julian made Luna a little anxious. She asked, "Do you really like Aralyn that much?""But I don't see anything particularly attractive about her," she added.Rowan continued ignoring her.Luna continued

Rowan saw the message from Luna. Instead of replying through Julian's account, he took out another phone and sent a message to Luna from his own WhatsApp account. "Luna, how are you doing now?"Luna didn't reply.Rowan felt as though his heart had been pierced by an arrow. It hurt immensely.At first, he had some delusions regarding Luna. He even reassured himself that she hadn't replied last time because she was pregnant and must have been so tired that she fell asleep immediately. She just so happened to be awake when she chatted with Julian.Now, he knew that wasn't the case. Luna simply didn't want to waste any more time on him.Rowan plastered on a bitter smile.He treated her so well, so why didn't she like him?Luna glanced at the message from Rowan and sneered. If she wasn't mistaken, Rowan had become a useless person who did nothing after their divorce. Even she was doing better than him now. She didn't want to waste her time on someone who wasn't worth it, but Julian

When Luna opened her phone, she found her feed flooded with ads praising how amazing her work was.Many people were curious, so they clicked on her comics out of curiosity. Upon reading, they discovered that it was as claimed by the advertisements. The quality was pretty good.As such, more and more people started following her comic.Luna smiled, satisfied.She opened her storefront and noticed that the sales of her merchandise were skyrocketing.It seemed that the manager did have some skill. The audience drawn in by the promotions turned out to be genuine readers and not fake readers.Luna's mood improved.The response was already this impressive with just one million dollars invested in marketing. What if she spent two or three million dollars? Maybe even ten million dollars? Would her work blow up on the Internet?Just imagining everyone online talking about her comics made Luna uncontrollably excited. However, she worked hard to keep her excitement in check.Looking at t

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?""
