Shayne couldn't bear the consequences if Julian stood firm. He mulled it over, wondering if there was another way to resolve this without compromising. Finally, his gaze landed on me."Actually, I think Zach didn't say anything wrong. Aralyn left home because she was upset with me and Zach, didn't she? If I'm willing to divorce Luna and Zach is willing to reconcile with her, she'll definitely come back."Having found a breakthrough, Shayne visibly relaxed as he looked at Julian with a taunting expression. "What, is my son not allowed to speak the truth?""Did you ever ask Lyn for her opinion?" Julian countered, his voice colder.Shayne found the way Julian said "Lyn" particularly grating. He had been married to Aralyn for six years and had a five-year-old child with her. Yet, he had always addressed her by her full name. Julian had only known her for a bit, but he already had a nickname for her.The thought annoyed Shayne immensely. He glanced at me before quickly looking away. "W

As soon as I finished speaking, tears welled up in Zach's eyes and fell heavily to the ground.He shrieked, "No! You're not Willow's mom! You're my mom!"As he spoke, he moved toward me.I looked at his pitiful expression, but my mind couldn't help recalling the time he said he liked Luna and wanted her to be his mom. I felt no sympathy—only a sense of absurdity."Zach, you have to take responsibility for your choices. Since you chose not to have me and wanted Luna to be your mom, then no matter how she treats you, you'll have to deal with the consequences."Zach cried even harder as he shook his head. "No! I'm just a kid! I didn't know what the consequences would be when I made that choice! You're my mom, so you should always forgive me!"Watching his unreasonable tantrum, I realized that no matter what I said, he wouldn't listen. Walking over to Julian, I said, "I really don't want to deal with them anymore. You can handle the rest of the matter."Julian nodded, and I walked a

From this day onward, Shayne wanted to live happily with Luna. He wanted Aralyn to know that she would never return to his side, be his wife, or Zach's mother again.Upon thinking of this, his eyes curved into a smile. By then, Aralyn would surely regret everything she had done that day.…Once Julian got into the car, he handed his phone to me. "I figured since you weren't there, you'd want to know how Willow reacted after Zach apologized, so I recorded it for you."He then turned to look at me. "Take a good look.""Alright." I started the video and focused on Willow.She seemed very resistant at first, but she clearly seemed happy by the end of the video.I felt a sense of relief. "That's great.""Yeah," Julian replied calmly. "I think if we keep this up, Willow will get better one day."I nodded in agreement. "She definitely will."When we arrived at the company, Julian took me to his office just like yesterday. I stayed in the partitioned area, planning to continue colo

Julian was always strict and impartial at the company, handling everything with a professional attitude. There were never any women around him. There was even a rumor that he was a workaholic who had no need for love.But now, not only did he bring a woman to the company, he even let her sleep in his sacred office.On top of that, he even asked Mark to lower his volume for her sake.Mark looked at the partition and then he looked at Julian.The woman was drowsy in the morning. What did that mean? It meant she didn't rest well at night. Julian definitely put her through the wringer.Mark had the urge to laugh, but Julian's icy expression forced him to suppress his gossipy thoughts. He lowered his voice and continued reporting to Julian what he had to work on next.Julian listened patiently. Once Mark was done with his report, he handed him a file on the desk. "These events have been approved."Mark took the file. "Alright," he replied without flipping through its contents.

Julian had to stand his ground. Amber raised her voice. "Julian, you need to understand that you are no ordinary man. You have a large company! Who do you plan to leave such a large enterprise in the future if you don't marry and have kids? Willow?"Julian calmly replied, "Yes."Amber's head ached. "But Willow has autism! She doesn't even dare to speak to others. If you give her your company, then it won't be long before it shuts down!"Julian did not agree with her opinion. "First of all, her autism will gradually improve. Secondly, since I intend to have her inherit my company, I'll naturally work hard to train her. You don't have to worry about that." Amber saw that no matter what she said, Julian would always find suitable reasons to refute her, so she stopped making up excuses. "I won't allow it! Julian, as long as you still acknowledge me as your mother, you must get married!"She continued speaking at a rather fast pace, "I think Alice is rather good. I've asked her to

It would be good if this comic would be liked by many. That way, Willow would definitely be popular when she carried the merchandise outside.Other children would gather around her to talk to her. Perhaps her condition would become better under such circumstances.Julian walked up to me and said, "If the comic does become a big hit, selling merchandise could also bring in a significant amount of income."I stared at him in surprise. Perhaps I had left work for too long.Although I knew about merchandising, I had only thought about using it as a way to help Willow get better. However, Julian could see the hidden business opportunity behind it. I had to admit that he was truly an outstanding businessman.I smiled as I said, "That's true."Julian's hand pressed against my shoulder as he guided me to sit on the couch. He then stared into my eyes."I think I know what kind of new company I want to create. Stay here for a moment."With that, he quickly returned to his desk and star

I shook my head. "I haven't eaten yet."Julian immediately apologized. "Sorry about that. I was busy with work and lost track of time for a moment. Figure out what you'd like to eat, and I'll treat you to it as penance!"I didn't refuse. "Let's just have some pizza from the second floor.""You don't have to save money," Julian said. He understood that Aralyn rarely ate here, so she didn't know which places were good.He ended up taking her to a nearby restaurant.Once they sat down, a server handed them a menu.Julian ordered a few signature dishes and then calmly explained, "The food here tastes nothing like what they serve in the cafeteria. You should give it a try.""Okay," I replied as I nodded.If it tasted good, then I could bring Willow here after I got paid.Julian paused for a moment before asking, "Do you plan on getting a boyfriend anytime soon?"I stared at him in surprise. "Why are you asking me this question?"Julian chose his words carefully. "If you're thinki

Standing at the doorway was a woman with exquisite makeup. She looked stunning. She was Julian's blind date, Alice. Julian assumed that after he rejected the conditions she mentioned, both of them would mutually understand they weren't suitable for each other. She would then move on to date someone else. He didn't expect her to come looking for him."I bet you weren't expecting me," Alice said with her arms crossed. She wanted to bypass Julian to enter the office, but he blocked her with a frown on his face."Is something the matter?"Stopped at the door, Alice's expression soured. "I scheduled a meeting with you for tomorrow. Why didn't you agree? Do you not want to see me?""That's right. I believe we made everything very clear during our first meeting, Ms. York." Julian's stance was very clear. He then continued, "I cannot accept the conditions you've proposed. So, we shouldn't continue contacting each other and wasting each other's time, right?"Alice seemed completely una

He had been with Stephanie for so many years. Even though they had never talked about marriage, he had always thought their relationship was fine the way it was.Stephanie had never pressured him.She had always given him enough space, supporting him no matter what he did, always believing unconditionally that he would succeed.It was only after being with Stephanie that he had slowly grown into someone who could stand on his own.Even if he no longer felt romantic love for Stephanie, that was only because that love had turned into familial love.He had never thought about what life would be like without her because he didn't want to leave her.Spencer thought that once he got used to this kind of life and stopped being afraid of marriage, marrying Stephanie wouldn't be a bad idea.He never imagined that she would actually grow tired of him.He began to tear up.As for Kelly, he really thought she was no different from Shayne. Both were friends he could chat and hang out with.

That way, when others criticized them, they could just curse them back. Dirty-minded people saw filth in everything.However, Shayne didn't voice out his thoughts. He just calmly looked at Spencer and said, "If you still want to keep being friends with Kelly, then maybe you should try dating her instead."If he really couldn't let go of Kelly, there was a high chance Stephanie would never forgive him.Shayne said lightly, "Maybe after you try, you'll realize you and Kelly are actually a better match."The tears in Spencer's eyes stopped suddenly. He stared at Shayne in shock. "I don't like Kelly!"Shayne's voice was heavy. "But you made your girlfriend suffer because of Kelly, didn't you? Doesn't that mean Kelly is more important to you than your girlfriend?"Spencer was stunned for a long time.Shayne continued, "If you can't figure out what you really want, you'll lose everything in the end."He threw out that line and stood up to leave.However, Spencer grabbed his sleeve.

"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
