"You were right to leave since they wouldn't give you a raise."Ximena had always been loyal to her company. Even though her abilities far surpassed her current salary, the company refused to increase her pay even slightly.Which company in the industry didn't think she deserved better? Everyone wanted to recruit her, but she never planned on leaving.However, funnily enough, the company ended up laying her off.Ximena agreed and said, "Exactly. They just didn't want to spend the money. They want me to give up my currently high-paying job and return to being cheap labor for them. "I had to work myself to the bone so they could buy their fancy houses and cars, yet I ended up living a miserable life. They also knew they couldn't talk me into it directly, so they tried to guilt-trip me." I held Ximena's hand. "At least you've escaped now."Ximena's face lit up with a smile. "Yeah, that's right."…Zach didn't follow Aralyn to the villa to secretly watch her be happy with someon

Zach replied dejectedly, "No. Luna stopped caring about me after Mom and Dad got divorced, and she succeeded in claiming her spot. "Besides, every time Dad isn't home, she'll bully me whenever she sees me at the house. Sometimes Dad even takes her side, acting as her accomplice and allowing her to bully me."Zach forced a smile onto his face. "I later moved to Grandma Charlotte's house and stayed with her for a while, but she loved the baby Luna is carrying more. So, I moved out and started living on my own."Linda was so heartbroken that tears fell down her face. "Is there something wrong with Shayne's brain? Choosing a woman over his son?"Zach added, "Yeah, he doesn't even give me living expenses anymore."Lina quickly pulled Zach toward her bedroom. "I have money. I'll give you some.""There's no need to do so!" Zach refused without hesitation. "Mom saved up a large sum of money for me before the divorce. As long as I don't pick up any bad habits, it's enough for me to live

Julian continued, "But the teacher will probably explain some pretty technical theories to you tomorrow. The both of you won't understand it right now.""Huh?" Willow said, confused.Julian patted her head and added, "But if you're willing to study hard, you'll understand it completely once you grow up and study the relevant major."Willow's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Daddy, I promise I'll study hard in the future!"Pamela nodded. "Me too!""It's good that you're willing to learn." Julian was a little surprised. Such a small thing inspired the two kids to like learning.He felt a sense of relief. "Go ahead and continue playing.""Okay."…Gabriel and Lilia sat in the toy-filled house. They watched Willow and Pamela play from afar. They looked at each other upon hearing Julian's words.They both felt a surge of emotion.Before they moved here, they knew Julian loved Willow. However, they had never seen it firsthand, so they were always worried. Now, after moving in a

I looked at the box before me and asked, "What's inside?"Lilia smiled and replied, "A gold bracelet. Open it and see if you like it."I took the box and opened it.I could tell that the gold bracelet wasn't cheap at the first glance.I then closed the box. "I can't take something so expensive. Why don't you give it to Willow? After all, she's your daughter's child."Lilia replied without hesitation. "But we have made a decision."I smiled and said, "Once you've given it to me, it's mine. I can give it to whoever I want, and you can't say anything about it."Gabriel and Lilia were stunned. They clearly did not expect me to say that. The two of them exchanged a look.Gabriel sighed and said, "Since you've decided, we won't force you.""Alright," I said, handing the box to Willow. "This is a very valuable gift from your grandparents. You must take good care of it."Willow froze, looking down at herself and then at the box in front of her. Her little head worked quickly, and aft

Chapter 385

Shayne couldn't help but wonder, when he and Aralyn hadn't divorced yet, did he often do this and make her feel unhappy? He probably had. Otherwise, why would Julian tell him that Aralyn would never choose him again?It was true. After she escaped him, there was no reason for her to get back together with him again.Shayne sat in his car, watching Aralyn from afar as tears streamed uncontrollably down his face.His rational mind told him that he should stay far away from her for the sake of her happiness. It was enough as long as Aralyn could be happy. However, he couldn't do it.Now, even if he didn't come to sit outside the villa after work each night to secretly watch her, he felt as if he would have an emotional breakdown soon. His phone rang.He glanced at it. It was Luna.He answered the phone. "Yeah?""Aralyn had others cyberbully me this afternoon…" Luna lied without batting an eye. "Didn't you say you'd stand up for me? But I haven't heard from you since you hung up.

The breeze on the balcony carried a hint of chill, brushing against the skin in an incredibly pleasant way.I leaned on the railing, gazing at the distant streetlights. My eyes held an indescribable tenderness.Julian turned to look at me and said, "Willow's grandparents really like you too.""That's just because they care about Willow," I replied. I didn't think my charm was that great. I turned my head to meet Julian's gaze and just so happened to catch his admiring gaze.I raised my hand and gently caressed his cheek. "You're different. You truly love me."Yes," Julian didn't deny it. "The first time I saw you was at the hospital. Willow pointed at you and said you were Zach's mom. At the time, you seemed so fragile, yet gentle and beautiful. "The next time I saw you, you had fallen down the stairs and miscarried. Back then, you were pale and lying in a pool of blood. Only then did I realize how pitiful you were to be bullied to such an extent."As we spent more time toget

"Actually, I still think it's Aralyn's fault." Luna had already figured out how to handle the situation before coming to the hospital. "If she hadn't responded, then no one would have scolded me. My stomach wouldn't have hurt..."Her voice grew softer as she continued, "Then you wouldn't have had to rush here late at night."She then tentatively looked up at Shayne. "Can you contact Aralyn and tell her something for me? I'm a pregnant woman. She should be more considerate toward me. Just think of it as her doing it for the sake of the baby in my belly!"With that, she was grasping Shayne's sleeve.Shayne didn't hesitate before replying, "No way! That's ridiculous! If you really don't want to have issues with her, then the best thing you can do is not involve yourself in her business!""I can't do that!" Luna answered without thinking. "I love you, but the person you love is her! Whenever I see her doing well, I can't help but feel jealous! I even can't stop wondering if I have t

Shayne could understand what I meant. "No.""So, there's no reason for me to tolerate her," I replied. I knew better than anyone else that Luna could only keep Shayne by using the child, so she would never let anything happen to it."Also, you'd better keep your woman away from me. Otherwise, the next time my retaliation won't be as simple as just telling the truth."With that, I hung up the phone. Julian could tell that my mood was off, so he held my hand and asked, "Shayne called?""Yeah," I replied. I took a deep breath and added, "I blocked his number, but he borrowed a phone and called me."Julian scoffed. "He's really going all out just to defend Luna."As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang.He looked at the phone. It was Shayne.Since Shayne was his business partner, Julian couldn't refuse the call, so he answered it. "Mr. Pearce, what's the matter?"Shayne knew that he shouldn't contact Julian, but he wasn't able to convince Aralyn. To solve the issue of

It was probably because, when Shayne was with Aralyn, she always spoke her mind and never lied. She would also never create odd situations that made him unhappy.However, Luna was different. She always put her feelings first. She would pick fights with others when she felt uncomfortable. Even if the other person was entirely in the right and scolded her for her behavior, she would twist the truth and complain to him.Shayne rubbed his aching temples. What could he do to change this situation?Luna stared intently at Shayne. Since he hadn't put the phone on speaker, she didn't know exactly what the other person had said to him."How's the situation? Did Aralyn agree to back down?" she asked."I got criticized as you wished," Shayne replied, frustrated.He added, "And Aralyn didn't agree at all."Luna couldn't help but smile. Shayne felt uneasy upon seeing the smile on her face. What was she smiling about?Luna held his hand and quickly hid her smile. She pretended to comfo

Chapter 390

Only at this moment did Julian finally gain a clearer understanding of Luna. She was very good at taking advantage of everyone around her, and these people would willingly stand up for her.Julian suddenly realized he shouldn't underestimate her. Luna hadn't successfully attached herself to Julian yet. If Shayne continued to ignore her, she'd face problems supporting herself in the future.Her tone became slightly stiff. "Mr. Hughes, you're a big-shot CEO, so you probably wouldn't tattle to others over such trivial matters, right?"Julian responded nonchalantly, "I can just casually mention it during work."Luna fell silent.Julian had no intention of arguing with her, so he hung up.Luna stared at her phone screen. She couldn't understand it. Didn't men like women who were weaker? Why didn't Julian take the bait?She was very dissatisfied but unwilling to give up. Luna thought about changing the subject to start another conversation with Julian, but her calls wouldn't go thro
