Julian's eyes sparkled with amusement as he continued enjoying the meal.…Zach sat in the car, staring at the brightly lit villa. What were they doing now? Having dinner?Or was Aralyn holding Willow in her arms, watching TV with her, and explaining life lessons to her as the story unfolded? When Zach imagined how the mother who had once cared for him unconditionally was now giving all her patience and love to someone else, he felt his heart was sliced apart.Noah gripped the steering wheel and looked at Zach through the rearview mirror. Noticing Zach's gloomy mood, he asked, "Should we head home?""Yeah."…Amber arrived at the villa at 9:00 pm.Willow had already finished washing up and was lying in bed on time. I sat by her side, reading her a bedtime story from a picture book. Amber strode into the living room, glancing around as she walked in. When she saw Julian sitting there, she immediately scanned the area.Julian put down the book he was reading. "Mom, who are y

Now, having left the past behind, Aralyn had become both gentle and strong.Julian had been furious earlier. But the moment he hugged Aralyn, all his negative emotions vanished, leaving his heart calm and peaceful.As he had resolved the matter with Amber, Julian had no intention of wasting any more time on her.He pulled out his phone and called Mark."Tomorrow, before school starts, I want everyone at their school to know what Luna did.""Understood."…Zach pushed the door open, finding the lights in the living room still on.Shayne immediately walked over to him. "Why are you back so late?"Zach looked weary. "I already explained it over the phone."Seeing how dejected Zach was, Shayne decided not to press further.Aware that Shayne's sudden warmth toward her was an opportunity she couldn't squander, Luna decided to put on her best behavior.She stood up, supporting her belly. "Zach, do you know how worried we were about you coming home so late?"Zach looked up at her

"She didn't want to talk about it. I know you care about her, but there's no way for you to know what she's going through, let alone stand up for her. So, you don't need to blame yourself." I chose my words carefully, trying to reassure him."Besides, Willow is doing much better now."I shared everything Willow had told me in the bathroom earlier.Julian was silent for a long time before finally saying, "Aralyn, thank you. She's been able to recover because you became her mother and guided her step by step.""You gave me a job when I was at my most desperate. If anything, I should be thanking you," I replied, turning to look at him.Julian raised his hand and placed it lightly on my head.This was the second time. I stared at him helplessly.Not only did he not move his hand, but he also ruffled my hair gently. "No need to be so polite with me."I smiled and countered, "Same goes for you.""Alright." He withdrew his hand.…When we arrived at the company, Mark was already wa

Avery leaned back. "What did Julian do to provoke you?"Still fuming over the morning's events, Luna felt her anger rising again. "He had someone spread rumors at school, saying Mason doesn't have a father and is trying to find one by targeting others' dads!"She took a deep breath to steady herself and continued, "The rumors claim I've set my sights on Mason's classmate's father.""Is Zach the classmate?" Avery asked.Luna snapped, "Yes! He even said that I think Shayne is great, so I seduced him even knowing he was married. In just one year, I supposedly destroyed what was once a happy family by making them divorce, and I became his new wife."She clenched her fist. "There were a few parents in Mason's class who used to get along with me. But today, after dropping their kids off, they suddenly started finding excuses to avoid me. "And they're even telling their husbands to keep their distance! They've really started treating me like some homewrecker who steals other people's h

Amber had been fuming since returning home.How could her own son speak to her like that? It took her the entire night to calm down. Once she finally regained her composure, she called Alice.Over the phone, she said, "Julian only sees Aralyn as a nanny. Don't overthink it. He doesn't like her at all."Alice didn't believe a word of it. She had clearly seen the way Julian looked at Aralyn that day. Usually, he looked at people who didn't matter to him coldly and emotionlessly. But it was different with Aralyn. When Julian looked at her, his eyes were warm and affectionate.If that wasn't love, what could it be? Hatred?Alice was beautiful and came from a good family. Many men admired her, but she wasn't interested in most of them.When she finally found someone she genuinely liked, she even swallowed her pride to pursue Julian, but Julian remained unmoved.She had given up on him. "This has nothing to do with me!"She was convinced she'd find someone even better than Julian.
