Semua Bab The Reclaimed Rose: Bab 211 - Bab 220

As I recalled that moment, I couldn't help but feel speechless. "Did he forget we got divorced because he loved Luna?"Julian didn't say anything.Suddenly, a thought came to me. "Do you think it's possible…"Julian raised an eyebrow. "Oh?""That he came to me specifically to brag about how good his relationship with Luna is?"Other than that, I couldn't think of any reason why Shayne would want to see me."That's possible." "He's so childish." I rolled my eyes.When it was time to get off work, Alice rushed into the office and told me her friend had invited her out, so she was leaving first.Before I could respond, she was already out the door.Shaking my head, I packed up and followed Julian to pick up Willow.…Willow got out of school right on time.However, Pamela's parents were absent again.Julian called Pamela's parents and told them directly that Willow really liked Pamela, so we could also take Pamela with us whenever we fetched Willow.We thought they might r

"Hello, are you Pamela's mom? She's my daughter's classmate. I brought her to my place when no one picked her up at school," I explained.Ximena Sawyer quickly asked, "Where are you? I'll go pick her up."Hearing how concerned she sounded, I said, "No need. Just tell me your address, and we'll bring her to you.""Alright."…We dropped Pamela off at Ximena's doorstep.Seeing her mom, Pamela was thrilled and bounced over to Ximena. "Mom, I talked to them, and we agreed I'll go play at their house again tomorrow!"Ximena looked at me, surprised."Tomorrow's Saturday. We won't be working, so we can take care of her."Relieved that it wasn't an inconvenience, Ximena exhaled. "I'll drop her off at your place tomorrow.""You're busy with work. We can come pick her up instead."After a pause, Ximena said, "Thank you."As we left Ximena's house, I glanced at Julian. Ever since he saw Ximena, he'd been acting a little off."Do you know her?" I asked."She's someone our company has

We planned to install a walkie-talkie inside the dolls so Willow could talk to her grandparents through it.Perhaps it wouldn't take long before Willow could speak to her grandparents directly.A smile spread across my face. I felt a sense of gratification watching the little girl I genuinely cared for. Willow finished speaking and waved at me confidently. "Mommy, I'm going to bed now."I stood up as well."Since Grandpa and Grandma are with me tonight, you can take a break," she added.I watched as Willow hugged the two dolls and struggled to carry them upstairs.The dolls were bigger than her, so carrying both at once proved a challenge for her, but she didn't ask anyone for help.She was such an independent child. My affection for her grew unknowingly.Thinking about how I'd be accompanying Willow and her friend tomorrow, I looked at Julian and said, "I might need to work overtime tonight."Julian nodded. "Go ahead.""Okay." I brought my laptop to the living room and sta

Willow nodded heavily. If Aralyn suddenly said she was leaving and handed her to someone else, she would cry her eyes out.But Pamela was completely unaffected, and Willow admired her for that.Pamela puffed out her chest confidently. "I think so too."Then, she started showing off how much her mother loved her. For example, last night, after she went back home, Ximena had been hugging and kissing her non-stop.Pamela sighed. "Mom says she has to work hard to make money, buy me a house, and save up a few million for me. That way, even if I can't find a good job after graduation, life will still be easier. But…"Pamela lowered her voice. "I just hope Mom doesn't put so much pressure on herself. I'll be sad if she exhausts herself."Willow also became sad.Watching them from the side, I rested my chin in my hand and paid attention to their interaction. I found kids' conversations pure, direct, and interesting.Neither Willow nor Pamela had breakfast yet, so Julian decided to take

"Okay!" Willow exclaimed cheerfully.…Since there was no school on Saturday, Zach didn't know where Aralyn was. To be closer to her, he specifically instructed Noah to follow her.Just then, his phone rang, and he answered it. "Hello?""They're at an indoor amusement park," Noah reported.Upon hearing this, Zach became excited. "Then hurry up and come pick me up at my grandma's!"Amusement parks were places everyone could go—he was no exception.Just thinking about being in the same space as Aralyn soon made Zach feel euphoric.To leave a good impression on Aralyn, he opened the wardrobe and selected a small suit to wear. He then looked at himself in the mirror before nodding in satisfaction.After that, he went downstairs, where Noah was already waiting at the door.He informed his grandmother that he was going out. After confirming that she had heard him, he went to the car.When they arrived at the amusement park, Zach spotted Aralyn but deliberately pretended not to see
