I randomly pointed at letters for her. She answered quickly and accurately as she kept her hands behind her back. It wasn't until I finished pointing at everything I had taught her today that I realized she had managed to learn and memorize all the phonetics. Willow snuggled into my embrace. It was as if she was begging for praise. "What's wrong, Mommy? Was there a mistake?""Not at all!" I sincerely praised her. "You got everything right!"Willow blinked her eyes, surprised. "Am I that great?' I cupped her face with my hands and gently caressed her. "Of course."Willow smiled bashfully. She then picked up the textbook and sat on my lap. "Then let me check if I can sound them out."I sat beside her and watched her earnestly. "Alright."Willow leaned over the table, her chubby fingers pointing at the phonetics as she said them out haltingly. Once she was done, she strung them into a complete word and read it out loud.She was afraid that she read it wrongly, so she turned ba

The more Zach cried, the more upset he got. "I miss Mommy."Charlotte hugged him and suggested, "Why don't we call her and ask her to come and see you?"Zach sobbed as he replied, "She doesn't want me anymore."Charlotte was very unsatisfied. "You're her biological son no matter what people say. How could she be so heartless?"It was because he did something to hurt Aralyn. At first, he was still young and didn't know the consequences that would result from his actions. But recently, he felt hurt after seeing how Aralyn treated Willow so kindly while her attitude toward him was indifferent.He couldn't help but think of how upset Aralyn was when he hurt her that way.Charlotte was so angry that she started cussing Aralyn out.Zach tugged on the hem of her shirt and said, "Grandma, don't blame Mommy."Charlotte poked Zach on the forehead with her finger. "It has come to this, yet you are still protecting her?""I'm not." Zach knew that Charlotte wouldn't believe his words, so h

I wasn't tired yet, so I went upstairs to retrieve my laptop. I then started working seriously on the designs Julian's company needed.Upon seeing this, Julian went to his study to retrieve his laptop and began working on the documents he needed to handle.Since I already had an idea, completing the initial sketch only took me half an hour. However, I didn't think it was adequate. As such, I created three alternative drafts. Once everything was done, I let out a sigh of relief and looked at Julian who sat across from me."Once I'm done with the drafts, who should I send it to for review?" I asked.Julian got up and walked behind me. He leaned down and held my mouse, while the other hand rested on my keyboard. It felt as if he was wrapping me in his embrace.He said calmly, "First, log in to this website, upload your drafts, and then submit them."He used the mouse to complete the entire process. Then, he asked apologetically, "Was I overstepping?"He sounded so natural. If I sai

I reluctantly accepted the explanation. "Alright then."Julian chuckled softly.…Shayne opened his eyes. He didn't see Luna, who lay by his side over the past few days. His mood brightened instantly.He got up and went to Zach's room and knocked on the door. "It's time to wake up! I'm sending you to kindergarten today."There was no response.He opened the door and found the bedroom empty. Only then did he recall that Zach slept over at Charlotte's place.Shayne walked to the living room and sat down.It seemed that the house had changed ever since he'd divorced Aralyn. It was no longer warm. Instead, it was cold.…Today, the little girl arrived at kindergarten earlier than usual. We saw her standing at the gate when we dropped Willow off. She quickly waved at Willow.Willow didn't even say goodbye to us. She ran straight to the little girl's side.The little girl held her hand and talked to Willow as they walked. Willow, same as she did over the past few days, listened p

"Aralyn's promotional strategy has been finalized," reported Mark.He placed the folder before Julian. "Please take a look. Does anything need to be changed, Mr. Hughes."Having worked closely with Julian for years, Mark understood that anything involving Aralyn was of utmost importance to him. He thus needed to review it. Besides matters regarding Aralyn, nothing else was important.Mark always knew how to prioritize things.Julian took the folder. He had already reviewed the draft previously, and now, after the revisions, he couldn't find a single issue. "No," he replied, unexpectedly satisfied.Mark smiled and said, "Alright. Should I have them start promoting today?"Julian nodded. "Yeah."Upon receiving his approval, Mark left with the folder. He didn't stop and went straight to the game company. He shared with them the great news. "Our strategy has been approved!"Everyone unanimously cheered. "That's great!"Mark then said, "Everyone can start promoting according to t

Chapter 186

Alice squinted as she considered Julian. Her expression was wary.She had planned not to think about those serious topics and wanted to go relax with Aralyn. However, Julian stopped them.Julian lifted his finger and gently tapped on the table in front of him. He calmly thought of how he should answer this question.Aralyn and Alice were now on good terms. As such, Aralyn would definitely be willing to eat with Alice. He also didn't have a suitable reason to object.The best outcome he could get was joining them.When he thought of that, he smiled faintly and said, "The both of you don't know which restaurants are good. Besides, you're both tight on money, so let me treat you both."Alice didn't hide her disdain, but after thinking it over, she realized Julian made a fair point. "Fine, then."Julian packed up his things and led the way.He stood in the elevator and looked at Alice.He honestly felt like Alice was interfering with his time alone with Aralyn. Alice noticed Julia

Alice grinned widely, revealing her pearly white teeth. She then helped add more food to my plate.Upon seeing this, Julian didn't want to be outdone. Soon, the dishes on the table grew noticeably emptier while the food on my plate increased. It soon became a small tower.Seeing that the two of them seemed to be competing, I sighed helplessly and asked, "Do you two have to build a tower on my plate?"Only then did Julian stop. However, Alice was still unsatisfied. She added two more pieces of meat to my plate.I laughed, baffled. "How am I supposed to finish all this?"Alice cheered me on. "I believe in you. You can do it!"I mercilessly shattered her dreams. "Even if you believe in me, I won't magically turn into a bottomless pit!"Julian said calmly, "You can refuse to eat what she has given you. It's fine if you only finish what I've given you."I couldn't believe that Julian, a mature man, had such a childish side. "I can't do that."After I clearly expressed my displeasur

Luna lifted her head as she spoke. Her teary eyes were focused on Shayne.Her right hand unconsciously rested on her belly as she continued, "Shayne, when I think about it carefully, it feels like you don't love me and the baby that much. Maybe I should just terminate the pregnancy."By the time she was done speaking, her voice sounded tearful.Shayne was a little impatient, but he didn't show it. He smiled and comforted her. "Of course not."He held her hand, suppressing the discomfort he felt from the physical contact. "Luna, you know I'm a man who's used to being straightforward. I'm not used to verbally expressing my love, but I'll take care of you and the children. So, don't overthink it. Just focus on resting at home." He pulled out a card and handed it to Luna as he spoke. "From now on, if you want anything, just buy it yourself."Luna stared at him in shock. She looked touched. "Are you really giving this to me?""Yes."The situation had escalated to this point, and

Chapter 189

Most importantly, I wanted to see Luna have her child more than anyone else. Although I no longer had any feelings for Shayne and saw him as a stranger, I couldn't deny that I've been quietly anticipating the day when I could personally witness the accomplice and the perpetrator who killed my child turn on each other like dogs fighting over scraps."We can choose a place with surveillance cameras," Luna insisted, trying hard to convince me. It was clear she was desperate to meet me. However, I was completely uninterested. "Surveillance cameras can malfunction."Seeing that I wouldn't be moved by any of her assurances, she laughed and said, "You're jealous of me. You're jealous that I'm with Shayne now, so you don't dare to meet me."Her tricks were very poor.I responded calmly, "Provocation won't work on me."Luna gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "I'm downstairs at Hughes Group right now. If you don't come down, I'll spill everything that happened at the Pearce family's h

Chapter 190

When Luna first heard this news from Avery, she was extremely shocked. After all, she heard Willow call Aralyn her mother, so she genuinely thought Julian wanted to marry Aralyn.She didn't feel good about that. How could Aralyn possibly meet such an outstanding man after divorcing Shayne? Thankfully, Julian didn't like Aralyn. This made Luna very happy."Is that a problem?" I asked as I sat across from her.Luna clasped her fingers together and rested her chin on them. "Before you divorced Shayne, you were at least a wealthy lady. Any one of the gifts he gave you should have been worth a fortune. Even if life became difficult after your divorce, just selling one of those gifts would let you live comfortably. There's no way you'll end up having to work, right?"Upon hearing her words, I instantly realized the reason she invited me out. She probably wanted me to know that Shayne treated me poorly but treated her well instead.Then she wanted to contrast her life with mine to high
