"When do you have time?"I glanced at the time on my phone—it was almost time to pick Willow up.After hesitating for a moment, I asked, "Can I go sign tomorrow? I have to pick Willow up today.""Sure," said Mark.I breathed a sigh of relief.Julian had been busy all afternoon and had just finished his work. He looked at me and asked, "You're going to the factory tomorrow?""Yes," I replied, suddenly feeling a bit out of sorts. Ever since moving into Julian's house, we'd been practically glued to each other every day.Now, the thought of being apart... left me feeling empty.I looked up at Julian.He had been very busy with work recently too, so he probably couldn't find the time to accompany me.I felt even more downcast.Julian noticed my reluctance and smiled, saying, "Once we both get busy, we probably won't have time to think about each other."I thought about it carefully and realized he was right. "That's true. Should I have the driver take me there tomorrow?""Sure

I looked down in confusion and asked, "What is it?"Pamela bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Some kids in our class have been bullying Willow lately. Even though I tried to stop them and told them it was wrong, nobody wanted to listen to me."Pamela lowered her head guiltily as if she was disappointed in herself for not being able to protect Willow.I crouched down and held her hand. "Pamela, you're amazing for standing up against unfair situations."Pamela looked at me in disbelief. "You don't blame me for not protecting Willow?"I chuckled. "You're also just a kid."Pamela tilted her head, seemingly unable to understand what I meant."It's normal to not know how to handle such situations. The fact that you told me about it already means so much to me. If you hadn't told me, I might still not know what Willow has been going through at school."Pamela blinked a few times, and her expression relaxed. "I'm happy for Willow because you care about her."Jus

What shocked her was the fact that Rowan listened and stopped what he was doing.Luna was so angry she almost threw her phone. She took a deep breath."Damn that Rowan! I had gone through so much trouble to trick Aralyn into doing something that she could never rise from again, but Rowan did nothing. I have no evidence!" Luna thought.Suppressing her anger, Luna paced back and forth in the room for a long time until her emotions finally calmed down. Then, she dialed Rowan's number. "Rowan!"Rowan was busy handling his work when he received the call. Even though Julian had already sent him the startup funds, he still dared not hire too many people, fearing losses and wasting Julian's money.Hence, he handled many tasks personally.When he heard Luna's voice, and perhaps because he had already seen through her intentions, he remained calm. "Yes?"Luna, who had previously acted as if she was trying hard in front of him in case he might someday regain his fortune, could no longer

Luna never expected that the man who always stood by her side no matter what would hurt her like this.She bit her lip and took a long time before shouting, "Rowan, your family has already gone bankrupt! You don't even have a penny to your name right now. The fact that I'm willing to stay in touch with you is already a blessing! I hope you know better than to be ungrateful!"Rowan couldn't stop the tears from streaming down his face. "Well, you don't need to waste any more time blessing me in the future. That's a good thing for you, too."Luna's mind went blank. "You useless man! You can't even handle such a small matter, Rowan—"She wanted to keep insulting him, but Rowan hung up the phone.Furious, Luna stared at her phone and threw it onto the ground. "What the hell!"Shayne had money, so she went after him. When Shayne realized he didn't love her and ignored her, she could accept that.Now she wanted Julian, but she couldn't win him over, as he didn't take her seriously. And

Shayne wasn't sure, but if he were asked to spend money on Aralyn now, he thought he probably wouldn't hesitate.…Rowan felt that, as Luna's ex-husband, he shouldn't tell Julian about this. But just thinking about Luna's schemes made him feel that she had gone too far.After weighing it for a long time, he decided it would be better to give Julian a heads-up.That way, if something really happened, he wouldn't regret it.Rowan dialed Julian's number.Julian had just finished discussing work with Ximena and was planning to go upstairs to find Aralyn.When he received the call, he was a little surprised. "What's the matter? Is something wrong?"Rowan was silent for a moment, not responding.Julian assumed it was a mistake and was about to hang up."Luna asked me to kidnap Willow today and then trick Aralyn into coming out before forcing her to be intimate with me," said Rowan.Julian froze mid-step. He glanced toward Aralyn's bedroom in the distance, then at Ximena sitting

Julian looked at me with frustration, as if hoping I could do better than this.I tilted my head, not understanding what he was thinking.Julian tried to be patient. "Even if you're certain that we're both trustworthy, you should still be cautious. What if something inappropriate happens between us? What would you do then?"I blinked.Julian placed his hands on my shoulders and said seriously, "I hope you'll get jealous because that proves that you love me.""Does not getting jealous mean I don't love you?" I wrapped my arms around Julian's waist, my tone gradually softening."I don't think so, Julian. In my view, the best kind of relationship is one where we know what we both want and can trust each other.""But isn't love about jealousy and possessiveness?" Julian asked, confused."The love others talk about is between them. In their relationships, there may have been some instability, which triggered their possessiveness and jealousy. But there's never been any of that betwe

There was no trace of worry in Aralyn's eyes anymore, only happiness.Zach forced a small smile and muttered, "Mom…"But Aralyn turned and went back inside. Reluctantly, Zach withdrew his gaze and then said to Noah, "Let's go back.""Alright."…In the living room, Willow held my hand and bounced forward with each step. Without looking back, she asked, "Mommy, can you sleep with me tonight?" I remembered what Pamela had told me and felt it might be a good opportunity to have a proper chat with Willow. Hence, I didn't refuse. "Alright."Julian slowed his steps, and his usually cold tone now carried a faint hint of jealousy. "What about me?" Willow stopped and turned her head in confusion. "Daddy, you want to sleep with us too?"Julian didn't answer. Willow was five years old, the perfect age to foster independent sleeping habits. If he suddenly said he wanted to sleep with her, he worried it might make her reliant on adults, expecting them to stay with her every night

I was stumped by her question and honestly didn't know how to respond."If I guessed correctly, Pamela was the one who told you, right?""Yes," I answered, not denying it."It's true," Willow said. Seeing that I already knew, she didn't plan to hide it."But ever since I started exercising, my physical fitness has really improved. I've slowly stopped caring about what those irrelevant people say about me. If they insult me, I insult them back exactly the same way. And if they fight me, well, they can't beat me."Willow's tone was full of pride. "I've already taken care of all these problems on my own, so I didn't feel the need to tell you. But I definitely didn't mean to hide it from you, Mommy."I hugged her tightly. "You're amazing, Willow! You already know how to handle these things at such a young age."Willow smiled bashfully."Do you mind that Pamela told me?" I asked.Willow shook her head. "Of course not. If the same thing happened to Pamela, I'd do the same because we

"I believed it. Kelly even said that if Stephanie really wanted to break up with me, she'd move out of my place."Even though we weren't married and we were just dating, we were already living together. Kelly said if I used moving out as a threat, Stephanie would cave."The more Shayne listened, the more silent he became. How could Spencer be even dumber than he had been back then?But seeing his friend hurting, he didn't have the heart to rub salt in the wound.Shayne asked, "You didn't seriously believe what Kelly said, did you?""Yeah." Tears slid down Spencer's cheeks. "But before I even had the chance to threaten her, Stephanie had already packed up all her stuff and left me."That day I came home, full of confidence, thinking that as soon as I spoke up, she'd make up with me. But… I opened the door and saw that all the photos of us hanging on the wall had been taken down."The woman who used to wait for me at home with dinner ready was gone. Everything that belonged to her

"I didn't say anything before because I thought there was no point," Spencer said.Spencer wasn't stupid. If he couldn't even see through all of that, he had no business running a company. He just never took it seriously before.He figured Stephanie would just throw a small tantrum at most, and that would be it. He never thought it would lead to such serious consequences.He continued, "Did you really think I was that dumb? That I couldn't tell what you were doing?"Kelly stayed silent.Spencer couldn't be bothered to say anything more to her. He got in his car and drove away.He arrived at a bar, ordered a few bottles of liquor, and then called Shayne. "Are you free? Come find me. I'm in a bad mood."Shayne had just gotten home, planning to spend some time with his wife and kids. But hearing Spencer's tone, he immediately said, "Okay."He turned to Luna and said, "Spencer's looking for me. I'm heading out for a bit."Luna, exhausted from a full day of work, didn't feel like d

Kelly froze. "She's really willing to break up with you?"Spencer nodded. "She told me not to go looking for her anymore."As he spoke, it felt like needles were stabbing his heart.He had always been certain that Stephanie loved him. He had been so sure that she would never leave him.So, he had gotten arrogant, thinking no matter what he did, she would always forgive him.But he had forgotten that…Stephanie was human, too.She could get hurt, too.Spencer said, "She wasn't just throwing a tantrum. She thought it over carefully and decided she'd be better off without me."Seeing his pained expression, Kelly moved closer and pulled him into a hug."She really doesn't know how lucky she was," she said. "Meeting a guy as good as you and still letting you go? Isn't she scared someone else will swoop in and steal you away?"To Spencer, her words were like kicking him while he was down. "But I only like her. I don't want anyone else."Kelly knew that if she asked now, "What abo

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
