Chapter 271

When Shayne saw me, he hurried over and asked, "Why didn't you accept the flowers I sent you? Can you tell me the reason?"I thought I had made myself clear in our previous conversations, so I didn't expect him to shamelessly approach me.I replied impatiently, "No sane person would get back together with their ex. Shayne, the fact that I chose to divorce you means I will never reconcile with you. Besides, it's over between us. What's the point of sending me flowers now?"I looked at him and said slowly, "Since your dream has come true, and you've gotten together with Luna, then shouldn't you cherish her? Otherwise, you'll definitely regret it again if you lose her.""I know you're saying this for my sake, but believe me, I definitely won't regret it this time," Shayne quickly explained.I truly didn't know how to respond.After a long silence, I finally said, "But your persistence is very irritating. If you feel even the slightest bit of guilt toward me, then I hope you'll act a

"I don't know," I answered truthfully. "But it doesn't really matter. Julian, during those six years I was with him, he never truly treated me well. This year, it got even worse. He hurt me more than ever. "Now that I've finally managed to escape him, he suddenly claims to love me." I asked casually, "But a love like that? I don't need it anymore."Julian nodded. "That's true. If someone wants to make up for the hurt they've caused, the best way is…" He paused, then said, "To be good to her from the very beginning."I couldn't agree more. That day, Julian took me to a barbecue restaurant. He knew I wasn't in the best mood and needed a little release. He ordered two sets of meat. One spicy and one mild. I was a little surprised.Noticing my reaction, Julian smiled and explained, "I can't handle very spicy food, but I can take a little heat to keep you company."I laughed at his words. "Well, thank you, then.""You're welcome," he replied casually.He handed me the menu and waite

Chapter 273

Julian was enjoying his lunch with a bearing of elegance.By the time we wrapped up, I was stuffed. Back at the office, I collapsed onto the couch, phone in hand, scrolling through the sales numbers for my merch. The sales for the plushies were climbing steadily, day by day. Other items were doing just as well. From zero orders, they had now grown into the hundreds.That was just from one platform. Curious, I checked the numbers on another platform and found the same results. They all had fantastic sales. It really was true. Hard work always paid off.Patting my full stomach, I waited until I felt less bloated before diving back into coloring my sketches. Time slipped by until Julian reminded me it was time to pick up Willow. Only then did I set my work aside.Heading downstairs, I stepped outside and saw that Shayne wasn't there. Relief washed over me as I climbed into the car.When we arrived at the kindergarten, we waited a couple more minutes before Willow appeared at the scho

Chapter 274

How could a biological mother be so heartless as to abandon her own son? And Zach… He also thought it was understandable that Aralyn no longer cared about him.Noah looked at Lewis curiously. The two of them didn't dare to continue asking after all because Zach was so sad at the moment.After all, Zach was merely a child. His ability to endure pain was not strong. What if they asked, and Zach couldn't bear it and did something stupid? What should they do then?…Zach arrived near Julian's villa and was surprised to find that Shayne's car was parked not far away.Rather than immediately going to greet Shayne, he remained in his car and watched as Aralyn went for a run. This was their routine every day when they returned home.Despite this, Zach never seemed to tire of watching it. He was so fixated that he couldn't bring himself to even blink. Eventually, they finished their exercise and went back into the house.Finally, Zach tore his eyes away reluctantly. He proceeded to open

Charlotte said with a smile on her face. "Looks like our last chat didn't quite hit the mark. So, here I am, ready to pick up where we left off."Luna easily sensed the hostility in Charlotte's words. "Had you told me this a few days earlier, I may have been more inclined to listen. But… Shayne has already made it clear that he no longer wants me."Luna had already stated that she planned to end things with Shayne, so she had no reason to push aside her self-worth. "He's trying to reconcile with Aralyn."Without hesitation, Charlotte retorted, "Impossible!"Luna's expression held a faint smile as she spoke. "Your son was the one who told me about this. If you don’t believe it, you can always call Shayne and confirm with him."With that, she turned around and headed back into the house. Charlotte stood still, lost in thought, before pulling out her phone and dialing Shayne's number. "Luna mentioned that you want to marry Aralyn again?"He didn't know how to respond to her mother

I didn't bother to hide it. "My ex-mother-in-law called me out of the blue to say that she has no respect for me."She reminded me to not even think about remarrying her son."Lilia found it hard to believe. "You're already divorced, and she still says these things to you? Doesn't she realize how ridiculous she sounds?""Who knows?" I shrugged. "Maybe she thinks I have a good temper and won't get angry…"I slowed down my speech. "That's why she came to me to throw her weight around and play the role of an elder."Lilia frowned. "His family is completely unreasonable. How did you put up with them?""Hmm…" I also found the question puzzling. "Perhaps it was because I loved Shayne too much at that moment. I thought that as long as I could be with him, it didn't matter even if I had to endure a little hardship."If I just bear with it, everything would get better."But then, I stopped loving Shayne."I can't be bothered to think about it anymore. I just want to keep my distance fr

Chapter 277

Ever since Willow was able to speak normally with her grandparents and Pamela, she stopped speaking to the mirror.The rest of her time was dedicated to reading.After everything was said and done, it was just about time for bed.Once Willow was asleep, I quietly slipped out of her bedroom.When Julian saw me walk out, he made his way toward the balcony.I knew he must've had something to say to me, so I followed him.The balcony lights were on.Everything in the distance was shrouded by night which added a touch of mystery.I sat in the chair to enjoy the rare moment of peace.Julian sat down next to me. Since drinking coffee late at night could disrupt sleep, he had switched to plain water.His voice sounded cold. "Were you living a particularly miserable life before you divorced Shayne?"It was odd. Despite the lack of emotion in his tone, there was a sense of concern and worry in his words.I carefully chose my words. "At that time, I always thought that a married coupl

However, Shayne couldn't act on his impulses…All he could do was lean lifelessly against the car seat because he had lost his place.He could only watch as Julian and Aralyn closed the distance between them.Then, the ping of a WhatsApp notification rang out.Shayne thought it was another work-related matter. So, he picked up his phone and glanced at the screen.It was Julian who sent him a text."Jealous? The one moon-watching by her side now is me."Shayne hadn't expected Julian to taunt him. It was rather unbelievable. He looked up and locked eyes with Julian from afar.Shayne pressed his lips into a thin line and quickly typed a reply. "Aralyn and I were together for six years. We have a five-year-old kid…"Julian's response was instantaneous. "That's all in the past, Mr. Pearce.""Understand this. I am Aralyn's present and future."…Julian looked away after sending his message."Is there something over there?" I asked out of curiosity."It's nothing." Julian wore a

"Is it Luna Sider?"Julian's cold gaze was filled with disdain. "Even knowing full well that the person you love is Aralyn, you can be swayed to leave with a single word from Luna…"Losing Aralyn isn't a coincidence—it's your destiny."To be frank, Mr. Pearce, you don't deserve a woman as amazing as Aralyn."Shayne was driving when he caught sight of Julian's messages out of the corner of his eye. Anger flared within him, prompting him to call Julian.When Julian answered the phone, Shayne immediately lashed out. "Hah, if Aralyn knew how cold-hearted you are, do you think that she would still like you?""Oh?" Julian responded calmly."Luna's hurt," Shayne said through gritted teeth. "Going to check on her is entirely reasonable."If Aralyn knew about it, she would think I was kind-hearted!"The way Shayne spoke with complete confidence gave Julian a bad feeling.Back when Shayne and Aralyn were still married, did Shayne always leave in the middle of the night to be by Luna's

Chapter 280

Once Julian was the only suitor left, he would finally have time to adjust his approach based on Aralyn's reactions.Julian was a patient man. He could slowly nurture a bond with Aralyn. After all, there was still a long way to go and he was not in a hurry."This way, my chances of success would be much higher," he continued.Gabriel studied Julian intently for a moment. "Aralyn's ex-husband wasn't a good man. We're all backing you up to keep him in check."But, what if someone better than you falls for her?"Julian turned to look at Gabriel.Instead of answering immediately, he thought about it carefully before responding. "Then, I'll strive to become the best man worthy of staying by her side."I believe I can provide Aralyn with the best life possible."I also believe I can love Aralyn as I do today even ten years from now."That was the answer Gabriel was hoping for. "You're confident. I like that."Satisfied, he said, "I hope that when your dream comes true, you'll still
