Chapter 191

Luna put away her phone and stormed off in a huff.I turned around and leaned against the counter. I watched as she picked up her pace to leave. "Luna, no sensible person would return after they've moved on. Since I've divorced him, I won't contact him, so you can rest easy."Although Shayne was my ex-husband and we had spent six years together, it felt like I had erased Shayne from my life ever since the day of our divorce.I rarely thought about him unless someone else mentioned him."Excuse me, your drinks are ready," the cashier said, handing me the bag.She then hesitated before asking curiously, "What's your relationship with her?"I took the bag, smiling as I replied, "She's my ex-husband's current partner."…Once I returned to the office, Alice immediately came up to me. "What did she say to you?""I guess their relationship is having some issues," I speculated. "Luna feels insecure and is afraid I might get back together with Shayne, so she came over specifically t

Mark continued to tell Julian about his work arrangements. Julian listened patiently. Once Mark was done, he said, "You've been performing very well at work lately. So, what kind of reward would you like? A raise, or…"Mark could barely hide the smile on his face as he replied, "A raise, please."Julian replied calmly, "Alright."...Julian returned to the office with a doll tucked under his right arm and another doll in his hand. He also held a cup of coffee in his other hand.Alice had left by the time he returned to the office.He was rather surprised. "Where's Alice?"I was relaxing on the couch as I had finished my work. I replied casually as I played with my phone, "She went out with her friends."Julian walked over to me and placed the dolls on the table. "Here. The dolls have arrived."I sat up immediately. "That was quick."My gaze landed on the dolls. The dolls had been made more carefully this time. They matched the designs I had drawn almost perfectly. Even the

I held Willow's hand. "Rome wasn't built in a day. Willow, as long as we work hard, we'll get there one day."Willow looked up at me dejectedly. "Really?"She leaned against the car window listlessly and didn't say a word for a long time. I leaned closer to her and comforted her softly.After some time, she turned her attention elsewhere.…Zach followed them from behind. He looked as Aralyn patiently pacified Willow. He remembered how she would always hold him in her arms when he was upset. Back then, when he had his mother's love, he didn't know how to cherish it.It was only after losing it that he realized there was no one else like her in the world who was a gentle yet steady presence. Most importantly, she loved him unconditionally.He couldn't understand how he had managed to lose such a wonderful mom.His phone rang, so he answered it.Charlotte said with a smile, "My sweet grandson, I've found you a tutor just as you asked.""Thanks, Grandma," Zach replied as his eye

Julian asked calmly, "Hmm?"I asked, puzzled, "Didn't I tell you? I put a small recording device inside the dolls."Willow clearly didn't want us to hear what she said to her grandparents. Naturally, I wanted to respect her privacy.As such, I didn't plan on secretly listening to the recordings. When the time came, I'd have Julian hand them directly to her grandparents.It was only now that Julian realized how much I had prepared in advance. "When did you do that?"I replied lazily, "While Willow was upstairs speaking to the mirror."Julian continued, "When did you buy the recording device?""A long time ago," I answered honestly. I calmly added, "Back when I hadn't divorced Shayne yet. The things he and his family did and said were so outrageous. Then once the opportunity presented itself, I could leak all those videos and recordings. It would be my way of getting back at them."Julian looked at me and said approvingly, "Not bad.""Would you mind if I did that?" I was think

"We should have a good meal to celebrate," Julian said, looking at Willow. "What do you want to eat?"Willow thought carefully. "Hmm..."Lately, she had tried a lot of delicious food. Unfortunately, at the moment, nothing came to mind. "What do you think, Mommy?" I knew of a few restaurants Willow would enjoy, but I didn't decide immediately. Instead, I told her about a few restaurants and their specialties."Then let's try that restaurant near Daddy's office this Saturday."She then looked at Julian. "Is that okay?"Julian agreed unconditionally. "No problem."...Zach quietly waited near the villa for a long time and watched them train in the yard.He saw Willow acting spoiled toward Aralyn. He then watched the family enter the living room together.Zach suddenly felt as though his and his mom's positions had reversed.In the past, when Shayne first brought Luna back home, he would bring Luna, Mason, and Zach out to play, leaving Aralyn alone at home.Back then, did Aral

Chapter 196

Julian understood what I was worried about. He placed his hands on my shoulders and said earnestly, "You don't need to worry about this. Leave it to me. I'll take care of it."His dark eyes were determined. I understood that everything he did was for Willow's sake. "Alright."Julian released me and stepped aside to find someone to gather information on the little girl.The little girl was called Pamela Winslow. Her parents operated a small company. Julian got her father's phone number and called him. He then got straight to the point about his intentions.Pamela's father didn't answer immediately.Julian was aware that, as a parent, they were definitely very cautious. They were afraid that their child would get hurt.As such, Julian explained that they could record Pamela at home and give the recordings to him when she went to kindergarten. He didn't need to interact with her directly. He also offered to collaborate with Pamela's father as a gesture of gratitude.Pamela's fa

Then why did the restless unease in Shayne's heart settle the moment he felt Aralyn's presence lingering in every corner of the house?He sat in the living room. Now, he didn't even know what love was. His friends all said he loved Luna. He had her, and they even had a child together. However, whenever he thought about spending the rest of his life with Luna, he felt suffocated. It wasn't until Luna moved out with her child that he finally felt a sense of relief.People often said that bystanders had the best view of things. Shayne couldn't stop himself from wondering if loving someone felt the way he did whenever he faced Luna.…Willow must have been completely exhausted yesterday. When I went to wake her up, I had to call her several times before she answered groggily.After opening the door, she sleepily walked to the bathroom to wash up. She then did her usual morning routine which consisted of practicing speaking in front of the mirror, reciting phonetics, jogging, then

Zach's voice gradually weakened. "But who will be good to me?"His mother no longer wanted him, and his father didn't care about him. He stared at the ground, not wanting to cry, but the tears still fell one drop at a time.…Shayne didn't need to drop Zach off, but he still arrived at the kindergarten at drop-off time. Seeing Zach's pitiful appearance, he approached him and asked, "Do you need my help?"Zach raised his head, looked at Shayne, then shook his head. "It's fine."Confused, Shayne asked, "Why? You're following her around every day. Aren't you trying to spend more time with her? Isn't it better if I could find an opportunity for the two of you to be alone?"It was good, but the one who caused her to give up on him was Shayne. If he hadn't secretly brought him to meet Luna, he wouldn't have been deceived into thinking Luna was good. Then, he wouldn't have started hating his mother more and more. He also wouldn't have started bullying her.Aralyn now treated him li

Julian looked at me with amusement. "Haven't you asked about the salaries of the others in our household?"I was stumped by that question. Julian then explained, "None of their monthly salaries are less than 30 thousand dollars. Besides, Willow has autism. She doesn't really like interacting with people. Taking care of her is harder than taking care of other children. So, it makes sense that I'd increase your salary."He added calmly, "Of course, the most important thing is that she's improving under your attentive care. I had wanted to give you even more in bonuses, but I was afraid you wouldn't accept it, so I settled on 80 thousand dollars. This is already my lowest offer."I responded, "But this is all part of my job scope."Julian's dark eyes looked pleased as he smiled. "In my opinion, you should be rewarded if you do well.""Alright," I replied. He had successfully convinced me.I then said, "But what about the posters? Didn't we agree on that? Just pay me a normal rate.

Chapter 200

Gabriel felt uncomfortable as well. But since Lilia had just recovered, he couldn't let her become too upset and risk her condition worsening.He quickly comforted her, "She was so young at the time, and she had suffered such a huge blow. On top of that, Amber said such harsh things to her. It's normal for her to feel worried."Upon hearing that, Lilia was even angrier. "How could that old hag say such nonsense to such a young child?"Gabriel couldn't understand either. "It just shows she's no good!" "Yes. Once I've fully recovered, I'm definitely going to her house to teach her a good lesson and help Willow vent all that anger!""Absolutely!"…Back in the office, I turned on my laptop. Thinking about how Julian wanted to customize a doll modeled after Pamela to help Willow recover, I didn't bother with drawing comics. Instead, I sat on the couch, envisioning Pamela's appearance. Once the design was clear in my mind, I got to work on the sketch. Then, I added the colors.B
