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

The phone rang the moment the door of the bedroom closed. Julian took a look at the screen, seeing that it was a call from Shayne. With a blank expression on his face, he picked up the call and said, "What do you want?" Shayne sounded nervous as he said, "Give the phone to Aralyn. I need to tell her something." Julian replied in an icy voice, "She's putting Willow to sleep now. I don't think she'll have time to reply to you." Laughing, Shayne asked, "Aren't you in love with Aralyn? How could you let her even lift a finger?" "I don't love Luna, but I still hired someone to take care of her." Shayne was elated at his displeasure. "It seems that your love for Aralyn doesn't run that deep." Julian knew that Shayne was mocking him for not treating Aralyn well. However, he paid him no mind as he merely said, "Don't you know that Aralyn loves children? She'll only work after Willow has been to school. Then, when school ends, she'll devote all her free time to stay with her." S

If Shayne had given her even a bit of money, Aralyn wouldn't have been so miserable. Julian continued, "When Aralyn is with us, she doesn't have to do a single thing with her child by her side. She gets 80 thousand dollars just for that."Yet, back then when she had to do everything for you, how much money did you give her every month?" Shayne became upset and frustrated. "Does this have anything to do with money?" "Of course, it does," Julian slowly said. "When she was in your home, she didn't ask for anything, not even money. In the end, she ended up with nothing to her name. "Aralyn is an adult who managed to gain experience after losing so much. I'm sure she understands that giving so much to someone is useless. So, I know that she wants her efforts to be reciprocated in the future." Then, Julian asked, "How many people do you think are willing to pay my price?" Shayne mulled it over before coming up with nothing. He felt even more disturbed. Julian confidently said,
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 513
Shayne went quiet. Julian persistently snapped. "If you were more generous and spent more money on her, she would've felt your love for her. She wouldn't have abandoned you. You wouldn't regret it as much as you do now, and you definitely wouldn't be so upset." Shayne grew even more uncomfortable. He wanted to tell Julian that he was wrong, but there was a small voice at the back of his mind telling him that the latter was telling the truth. Aralyn had been disappointed in him, but she had given him another chance for her child's sake. If he had treated her decently, she would've forced herself to stay together with him. She would do it just to give Zach a complete childhood. So, Shayne merely pursed his lips, unable to formulate a proper answer. Julian then slowly replied, "There's nothing else we can talk about other than work. Why don't you call back tomorrow morning? Or…" Shayne felt a small glint of hope. "Or what?" Julian calmly said, "Or you could just tell me

For some reason, Luna found it hard for herself to calm down. Although she had long stopped caring about Rowan for a long time and viewed him as her second choice, she knew that Rowan still loved her. He was willing to do so many things for her. However, Rowan had rejected her today, making her feel displeased. Luna only felt calm after soothing herself for a long time. She no longer wanted to contact Rowan, even more so to waste her time on him. Then, she sent a message to Julian that said, "Do you really love Aralyn that much?" Even if Rowan felt nothing for her, he still couldn't erase all traces of her in his heart for good. That was the most devastating part for him. Seeing the difference between Luna's attitude toward him and Julian, Rowan couldn't help but feel upset. He tapped on the keyboard a few times, typing the same message over and over again. His message was long, but he still deleted it in the end. Without waiting for Julian's reply, Luna continued to se

It didn't matter if the man already had a girlfriend. Even if the man told her that he wasn't interested in her, she would still do her best to make herself seem like a potential girlfriend. Rowan smiled bitterly. He would always be the one to make the first move in their relationship. Taking a deep breath, he sent her a message. "Do you know why I haven't tried dating anyone else?" Luna seemed reluctant to answer him. "Why?" Rowan gave her a serious reply. "I have so many women around me. They're all different. Some of them are smart, some are pure, and there are some who are pretty and elegant."His next message read, "However, among all of the women I've met, I never felt the urge to date them. That includes you."Luna looked at the message Julian sent her and felt a sharp twinge in her heart. What did Aralyn have that she didn't? Rowan continued to send messages. "Whenever I talk to Aralyn, I get the feeling that I want to spend the rest of my life with her. It's su

"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
