A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 207
Although Luna hadn't interacted much with Aralyn, judging from how Aralyn hadn't contacted Shayne at all after their divorce, it was clear she was a very decisive woman.It was highly likely that Aralyn truly wouldn't get back with Shayne. And Shayne, who was deeply in love with Aralyn, didn't realize his true feelings. The situation was predictable in the short term. Luna was safe.Initially, Luna had planned to find Shayne after dropping Mason off. That way, even if Shayne eventually realized who he truly loved, she could guide him and make Shayne believe that she was the one he loved.But now, she didn't feel like going to Shayne anymore. After all, with the card Shayne had given her, she could buy whatever she wanted. Instead of going to Shayne and inviting trouble, she could live in luxury.As Luna thought this, she glanced at her coffee. She wasn't sure if she had bought good coffee or if it was for some other reason, but the coffee tasted especially fragrant and rich.…

Displeased, Alice walked up to Joanna. "I like flowers, and someone gave me flowers. Isn't that enough? Why does it have to be from a man? Do flowers from men smell better? Are they more valuable?"Alice couldn't understand Joanna's way of thinking at all.Joanna blushed and shyly replied, "Because if a man is willing to give you flowers, it means he loves you."Alice was rendered speechless. She nearly rolled her eyes but managed to hold back and instead put on a smile."My friend sent me flowers because she loves me too. Otherwise, why would she bother spending the money?"With that, Alice hugged her bouquet and returned to her desk.…During lunchtime, I hadn't even finished organizing my laptop when Alice stormed into the office. She sneaked a glance at Julian, making sure he was still seriously focused on work. Then, she leaned in to whisper to me about the latest gossip she'd just overheard.I stared at her in disbelief. She had only been in the gaming department for on

Alice chose the restaurant where we were going to eat. It was a trendy place that had been advertised all over a certain video-sharing platform recently.Before the meal, Alice confidently assured us that her friends had tried it and all said it tasted great.When the dishes were served, both the color combinations and the aroma were top-notch. After finishing the meal, we walked out of the restaurant in silence."Let me choose where we eat next time," Julian said expressionlessly.Alice had to admit that Julian usually seemed like a distant, unapproachable being, but there was no denying that the restaurants he picked always guaranteed good food.As for her choice of restaurant, it really fell short.Alice reluctantly gave in. "Alright."When we returned to the company, Alice waved goodbye to us. As I watched her bounce away, my mood lifted as well.Julian and I walked side by side.When I saw the man standing outside the office door, my steps halted.Shayne looked up and wa

I didn't say anything; I only stared at him.Shayne slowly raised his head to meet my eyes.After a moment of thought, I decided it was better to clarify things now and end this conversation sooner rather than later. "Maybe it's because I used to love you wholeheartedly. We spent six years together, seeing each other day and night. Even if you didn't love me, your possessiveness likely made you see me as yours subconsciously."You were convinced I would never leave you. But in the end, we still reached the point of divorce. That's why you feel a bit unsettled," I stated, my voice devoid of any emotion."But that's normal. Even if a vase that's been in your house for years suddenly breaks, you'd feel reluctant to let it go, let alone a person."With that, I stood up and walked away. At the door, I found Julian standing nearby. Surprised, I stopped in front of him."Aren't you super busy with work? How do you have time to come here?" I asked.Julian sighed in relief. "I was worr

"And then?" Spencer asked."I asked her if she thought I loved her," Shayne said, his voice filled with confusion. He truly believed Aralyn was the one he loved. Yet, everyone around him, including Aralyn, believed he loved Luna.Spencer, with no patience for Aralyn, said irritably, "She probably said you loved her."He had always disliked Aralyn and instinctively assumed she would say or do something to make him dislike her more."No, she said I loved Luna," Shayne uttered, his eyes unusually vacant.What? Spencer couldn't believe his ears.Shayne asked, "Does that mean I was a terrible husband? In the six years I was with her, I never made her feel loved."The private room fell into an instant silence.Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say. To be honest, it did seem like the fault lay with Shayne.But as his friends, they naturally wanted to side with him.While everyone was struggling to think of a way to console Shayne, Spencer had already figured out how
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 212
As I recalled that moment, I couldn't help but feel speechless. "Did he forget we got divorced because he loved Luna?"Julian didn't say anything.Suddenly, a thought came to me. "Do you think it's possible…"Julian raised an eyebrow. "Oh?""That he came to me specifically to brag about how good his relationship with Luna is?"Other than that, I couldn't think of any reason why Shayne would want to see me."That's possible." "He's so childish." I rolled my eyes.When it was time to get off work, Alice rushed into the office and told me her friend had invited her out, so she was leaving first.Before I could respond, she was already out the door.Shaking my head, I packed up and followed Julian to pick up Willow.…Willow got out of school right on time.However, Pamela's parents were absent again.Julian called Pamela's parents and told them directly that Willow really liked Pamela, so we could also take Pamela with us whenever we fetched Willow.We thought they might r

Pamela stared at me and asked, "Really?""Of course."…The car stopped a short distance from the villa. Zach sat inside. Noah brought a tutor over, who was teaching Zach seriously. Zach glanced in the direction of the villa, then turned his attention back to the lesson.He didn't know why, but studying near Aralyn's home made him feel a deep sense of peace. It was as if Aralyn had returned to him.Zach made up his mind—he was going to learn whatever Willow learned. He could convince himself that these were courses Aralyn had chosen for him.As a good child, he would study hard and not let Aralyn down.This time, there was a lot to learn, but Zach was smart and mastered everything. The tutor was delighted and wanted to teach Zach more.Just then, someone tapped the car window. Zach turned his head and saw Shayne standing outside. He opened the door and hopped out. "You can drive the tutor home," Zach said to Noah."Alright.""Don't forget to come back for me," Zach remind

"Hello, are you Pamela's mom? She's my daughter's classmate. I brought her to my place when no one picked her up at school," I explained.Ximena Sawyer quickly asked, "Where are you? I'll go pick her up."Hearing how concerned she sounded, I said, "No need. Just tell me your address, and we'll bring her to you.""Alright."…We dropped Pamela off at Ximena's doorstep.Seeing her mom, Pamela was thrilled and bounced over to Ximena. "Mom, I talked to them, and we agreed I'll go play at their house again tomorrow!"Ximena looked at me, surprised."Tomorrow's Saturday. We won't be working, so we can take care of her."Relieved that it wasn't an inconvenience, Ximena exhaled. "I'll drop her off at your place tomorrow.""You're busy with work. We can come pick her up instead."After a pause, Ximena said, "Thank you."As we left Ximena's house, I glanced at Julian. Ever since he saw Ximena, he'd been acting a little off."Do you know her?" I asked."She's someone our company has

Spencer asked, "Just because of one little argument?""In your eyes, maybe it was just a little argument," Stephanie said calmly. "But for me, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back. In this relationship, I was the one who always gave more."No matter what Kelly did, the one who ended up hurt was always me. You only had to take her side and blame me to settle everything. So, to you, it was always just small stuff."She continued, "Nobody wants to spend their whole life being wronged like that. I don't either. So, after that day, I really thought it through…"How much love do I still have left for you? Is it enough to keep tolerating you and her? The answer was no. I even realized at that moment that I didn't love you anymore."Forget tolerating both of you. Even just dealing with one of you felt unbearable. Then, I thought, since it's gotten to this point… We might as well break up."When Stephanie said this, her eyes carried a relaxed smile. "I just haven't figured ou

Shannon shook her head. "That's why I really don't think much of Luna. If it weren't for our son liking her…"Patrick understood how Shannon felt. "Honestly, we did wrong by Luna before. Once she's willing to come back, we should make it up to her as much as we can."Shannon was unwilling, but seeing Patrick insist, she could only mumble, "Fine, we'll do what you say.""Okay."…Hannah noticed that over the past few days, Patrick and Shannon hadn't contacted her at all, and she immediately found it strange.In the past, the two elders were very close to her son, almost seeing him every day. What was going on now?After putting her son to sleep, Hannah took the initiative and called Shannon. "Mrs. Cunningham..."Shannon frowned and glanced at Patrick, speaking in a low voice, "It's a call from Hannah."Patrick's face darkened almost instantly, but he forced himself to hold it in. "Don't tell her we went to see Rowan, and don't let on that we know the truth. If she wants to fool

Rowan shook his head. "If it were really that simple, that would be nice."Patrick didn't understand why Rowan said that.Rowan continued, "Before Luna and I divorced, she had already guessed you were lying, so she made it very clear to Mason…"If I chose to come back and help you, she would divorce me. If I stayed with her, she would continue living the hard life with me."Patrick hadn't expected the truth to be like this. His face turned even uglier. Shannon was also in pain.Rowan tilted his head up, staring at the ceiling. "But in the end, I was too scared the company would fall apart, so I chose to go back. To completely cut ties with me, she went and started dating Shayne."At first, Luna still had hope for him. After all, they had truly loved each other for so long.But over time, through all the back-and-forth, she probably realized he was never going to change, so she finally gave up completely.Recently, the comics she created have been doing very well. Because of tha

Rowan said, "Come on, I'll take you to eat."Patrick followed behind Rowan and asked, "Have you thought about what to do with Mason in the future?"Rowan didn't take the question seriously. "Why would I?""He's your only child. If you don't acknowledge him, you'll end our family line."Rowan didn't know why, but looking at the streetlights and the thinning crowd around him, he felt unusually calm. "Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"When they reached the restaurant, he handed the menu to his mother. "See what you want to eat."Shannon picked a light vegetarian dish and said, "We just didn't expect Hannah to lie to us!"Rowan crossed his legs and repeated her words. "You didn't expect Hannah to lie to you?"Patrick ordered two meat dishes before saying, "Exactly. Who would've thought she would dare lie about something like that?"Rowan stared at his father. "So, just because you said it, even if you had doubts, you really thought I cheated on her with Luna…"Shouldn't you ha

Willow stared at me in shock for a long time before finally asking, "You can really do that?"I nodded. "Yeah. As long as you want to, you can keep in touch with her as much as you want."Willow jumped up excitedly. "That's awesome!"Just then, there was an urgent matter at the company that needed Julian's attention. After taking the call, he happened to overhear my conversation with Willow.He immediately got an idea. "During summer break, if you want to hang out with Pamela every day, she might not have that much free time."Willow's smile disappeared instantly. She asked, "Then, what should I do?"He guided her, "Do you think there's an excuse that could make both of you improve and leave her mom no reason to say no?"She followed his lead and quickly figured it out. "Studying?"He didn't give it away directly. "Oh?""Daddy, how about you hire a tutor for me during summer break? I can get a head start on school! Then, I'll ask Pamela to join me. Her mom will definitely agre

Alice raised her voice and asked, "You two already broke up, and he's still coming around asking you to apologize?"Stephanie shrugged. "What else could it be? You don't think I'd made all that up just now, do you?"Alice had never thought that, but Spencer's behavior still struck her as outrageous. "Do you need me to help you?""No, it's fine." Stephanie had already moved on, so she needed to handle it herself. "I can deal with it."With that, she walked out of the hotel.Spencer saw her come out and quickly stepped in front of her. "Can we talk?"He expected Stephanie would agree, but she gave him a glance and asked, "What do we have to talk about?""I know you're upset because of her, but can you be the bigger person? If you just apologize to her, a lot of things can be smoothed over."She looked at him, confused. "Why should I be the bigger person?""Because you're my girlfriend!" He tried to persuade her.Hearing that, Stephanie couldn't help but laugh out loud. "It look

The expression on Stephanie's face suddenly turned bitter. "Actually, when we first started dating, my friends kept warning me. They said he was way too close with that female friend of his, and that I was going to end up hurt."But I didn't believe them. I thought they were just overthinking everything and would never find real love that way. So, I went ahead and got together with Spencer. But after we got together, I realized they were all correct."In Spencer's eyes, that female friend was always more important than me. Every time she bullied me, he would make me step up and apologize to her."Stephanie looked exhausted. "I could put up with it once or twice, but after a while, anyone would get tired."Alice nodded in strong agreement. "Yeah."Stephanie continued, "Recently, the two of us had another fight because of his 'friend.' And as always, he took her side without question…"After I calmed down, I really sat and thought about it. I realized… It's been like this for years

Stella went silent.Then, she hung up.Alice turned to look at Joseph."What?" he asked.Alice answered plainly, "I don't care who you date in the future, but I don't want to be dragged into it. Otherwise, it'll cause me a lot of trouble.""Alright."Since they had company matters to deal with, neither of them had any free time.After Alice dropped Joseph off at the company, she headed back to Hughes Group.As soon as she got into the elevator, she saw Stephanie coming out of it. Stephanie also noticed Alice, but after just one glance, she looked away.Alice clearly recognized Stephanie, too.As the elevator doors opened, Alice didn't go straight upstairs. Instead, she turned and walked up to Stephanie, asking, "Why are you working at this company now?"Stephanie had expected this encounter. "Obviously, I'm highly capable and got the job."Her family background wasn't impressive. When she was dating her ex-boyfriend, people in his circle always thought she was a gold-digger

Everyone went silent."We just thought you two got back together later," his friends replied.Joseph almost laughed out of anger. "I've been broke the whole time. You all should know there's no way she would get back with me."Only then did everyone sound disappointed. "Alright, then."Joseph opened the platform where people were posting, and saw that everyone was trashing them."Alice is a homewrecker! She must get off on stealing other people's boyfriends! If she liked him so much, why didn't she say yes when he confessed? Why wait until he has a girlfriend to start messing around?""Joseph's no better. Someone just crooked a finger at him, and he went running like a dog. He missed out on Stella, a great woman, and now he's doomed to never find love again!""Those two scumbags deserve each other!""Let them stay together! Just don't go ruining anyone else!"The insults were disgusting. Joseph just skipped past them.As he kept refreshing, he suddenly saw Alice's response. I
