"But when it comes to Shayne, that's not negotiable. I have to be with you to feel at ease."Seeing Julian so firm, I stopped trying to argue and headed downstairs.Shayne's car was parked right in front of Hughes Group. I looked at him from a distance and slowly came to a stop in front of him.Shayne got straight to the point. "Aralyn, I've never said anything about you having a man. But don't you think you've gone too far?"Shayne suddenly felt incredibly pathetic, having to use such a reason just to interact with Aralyn. And what made it even worse was that just seeing Aralyn's face made him feel as if he was no longer a walking corpse but a living, breathing human again.That feeling was grounding. He liked it."She's pregnant. How could you provoke her?"I was completely confused. "Provoke her? I have no time for that. Shayne, even if you're in a bad mood and looking for someone to vent your anger on, I'm not exactly a logical choice. You must not know, but I'm incredibly b

Shayne remained silent for a long time before finally explaining, "Is it possible that because your life is going well, you want to show off in front of the woman who stole your man?""That would only be the case if I still loved you. Only then would I keep thinking about you and be unwilling to let you go. And after doing well for myself, I'd want to prove something to you both."But the thing is, I stopped caring about you a long time ago. So, whether I live well or not, I have no reason to show off to either of you. Also, you said I reached out to Luna to bully her. Tell me how I contacted her, then," I retorted.Shayne immediately answered, "Your phone.""I've already blocked both of your numbers." I laughed.Shayne went silent."You're truly someone in my past now. My happiest moments are when Willow and Julian are by my side and when I don't have to deal with you. This may sound harsh to you, but it's the truth. Leaving you has only made me happier. "Why would I do someth

Shayne stood frozen in place, watching Aralyn's departing figure.Because of Luna, he had come to bother Aralyn, but this would only make her hate him more.However, if he didn't do this, he wouldn't have any legitimate reason to see Aralyn.Shayne was deeply confused.What could he possibly do to interact with Aralyn without making her angry?…We arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten.Willow had just finished school. Spotting me, she held onto Pamela and ran toward me. "Mommy, I missed you so much!"I bent down and picked Willow up, saying affectionately, "I missed you too."Willow leaned into my arms happily, giggling.Pamela also ran to Ximena, cuddling up to her.Willow looked at Pamela.Julian could guess what Willow was thinking. "Didn't you two want to know how toy airplanes fly the other day? I've specially invited a teacher to our house tonight to give a lesson."He turned to Pamela and asked, "Do you want to join us?"Pamela looked at Ximena eagerly. "Can

Shayne froze."Dad, do you need me to remind you how you've treated me since you divorced Mom?"Zach used to feel heartbroken when he thought about everything that had happened during that time. But he came to terms with it eventually.Aralyn had stayed by Shayne's side when he was broke, giving her all unconditionally. But in Shayne's eyes, Aralyn was always just a useless housewife.When his first love came back, Shayne discarded Aralyn without hesitation.What did that make him?Shayne opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. "Luna mistreated me. I told you honestly about the things she did to me, but all you thought was that I had something against Luna. You even started arguments with me over her," Zach said expressionlessly.He then laughed. "Then, after I moved out of the house, I was finally free from Luna's abuse. But you and Grandma preferred Luna's child. You even told me outright that you wouldn't give me a single penny anymore."When Zach first heard those wor

Standing at the door, Charlotte took a deep breath and then pressed the doorbell.These past few days, whenever she thought about how Aralyn had sent her straight to the police station just for saying a few words, she felt stifled and resentful."Hmph! Aralyn contributed nothing to the family. After leaving Shayne, she should've been destitute. I hope she ends up on the streets, struggling to find her next meal!" she thought.Charlotte couldn't understand how Aralyn managed to live such a good life. The woman who used to be so timid with her now dared to fight back.Where did Aralyn get the nerve?Instead of opening the door immediately, Amber asked lazily, "Who is it?"Charlotte had only one purpose in coming to see Amber—to convince Amber to mistreat Aralyn too.Ideally, Aralyn's life would become even more miserable than it had been in Charlotte's home.Only then would Charlotte feel at peace.Charlotte forced a smile. "It's me, Aralyn's former mother-in-law.""I don't kno

Charlotte realized she had misspoken and immediately apologized. "I'm sorry! My son truly isn't worthy of your daughter!"When she saw that Amber was satisfied, she continued the topic. "But who would've thought that not long after Aralyn got married, she became pregnant? And then she did absolutely nothing at home, relying entirely on my son to support her."Just think about it. My son faces so much stress at work every day. Instead of finding a job to help relieve some of that burden, all she thought about was staying home and enjoying herself! It was hard to handle a woman like her!"Since Julian was the primary breadwinner of the Hughes family, following Charlotte's logic, wasn't it also a major crime for the rest of them to enjoy their lives at home?Amber suppressed her dissatisfaction.Initially, she thought she and Charlotte might share common ground. But after hearing Charlotte's comments, she felt as if Charlotte was here to provoke her, perhaps even hinting that Amber h

"You've also suffered a lot before because of Aralyn, haven't you? When the time comes, you can let it all out."As Charlotte spoke, she patted Amber on the shoulder. "In a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, you have the upper hand. Aralyn will surely tread carefully and treat you with respect. "When your relationship improves, your son will be happy to see you and Aralyn getting along peacefully."Sophia noticed her mother wavering and found it amusing as she glanced elsewhere. She had been right—her mother was easily swayed.Charlotte stood up. "I've got other things to do, so I'll be heading off.""Okay. My mom and I have things to do, so we won't be seeing you out." Sophia could see right through Charlotte's intentions and didn't bother being polite."Alright."…After Charlotte left, Sophia pulled a small stool in front of Amber and advised her patiently, "Mom, you'd better keep your distance from her in the future."At first, Amber also thought some of what

"She probably also tried to cause trouble for Aralyn but was embarrassed because Aralyn didn't give in and fought back. When she found out she couldn't mistreat Aralyn herself, she came to provoke you into doing it instead."Sophia held Amber's hand. "If I ever got divorced in the future and ended up with a former mother-in-law like this…"Amber instantly flew into a rage. "Then I would absolutely go and give that lady a good beating!"After speaking, she suddenly realized something and looked up at Sophia.Sophia smiled. "You absolutely can't follow her example."Amber nodded seriously, saying, "Thank goodness you're here. Otherwise, I might have really been convinced by her. Charlotte is truly a vicious person."Sophia nodded. "That's right.""She wants to use me, huh?" Amber huffed in anger."No, I need to think of a way to get back at her, or that old hag will really take me for a fool!"Sophia watched as Amber stormed off before lounging on the couch. She picked up her ph

"We're siblings. There's no need to be this formal," Sophia said sheepishly."Your company is short on business partners, right?" Julian asked.Sophia didn't know why Julian suddenly shifted the topic to work but answered honestly, "Yeah.""Do you have time now?"Thinking about it, Sophia realized she wasn't busy at this hour. "Of course, I do!""I was planning to collaborate with Shayne for a few projects. But I evaluated them carefully and thought it would work just as well for your company. Come to my place. We can discuss it properly."Hearing that, Sophia almost jumped with joy. "I'll be there right away!""Alright."…Hanging up, she dashed upstairs happily and burst into Amber's room. "Mom, great news!" she exclaimed."I told Julian about what Charlotte did, and he gave me several projects!" Sophia was overjoyed. She hugged Amber tightly. "See? As long as you're on Julian's good side, there are endless rewards. But if you go against him, there's no good outcome.""If

Eric had already picked Pamela up. He smiled and said to Ximena, "Let me. You should rest."Ximena didn't insist and replied sincerely, "Thank you.""You're welcome."All of us went to the dining room to eat. The original small dining table could no longer accommodate so many people, so we split into two tables.Pamela and Willow sat at the same table. They huddled together, chattering nonstop from the beginning of the meal.Every now and then, they would pause in confusion and ask others for help.The house was incredibly lively.I really liked this kind of atmosphere. Back when I lived at Shayne's house, Shayne was always too busy to spend time with me.Even after Zach was born, Shayne only stayed with me when Zach was too difficult to take care of.As Zach grew older and learned to eat by himself, Shayne would take Zach somewhere else to eat in the evenings.I was left alone, sitting in the dining room and eating the food I had cooked myself.Back then, I never thought th
