When Shayne saw me, he hurried over and asked, "Why didn't you accept the flowers I sent you? Can you tell me the reason?"I thought I had made myself clear in our previous conversations, so I didn't expect him to shamelessly approach me.I replied impatiently, "No sane person would get back together with their ex. Shayne, the fact that I chose to divorce you means I will never reconcile with you. Besides, it's over between us. What's the point of sending me flowers now?"I looked at him and said slowly, "Since your dream has come true, and you've gotten together with Luna, then shouldn't you cherish her? Otherwise, you'll definitely regret it again if you lose her.""I know you're saying this for my sake, but believe me, I definitely won't regret it this time," Shayne quickly explained.I truly didn't know how to respond.After a long silence, I finally said, "But your persistence is very irritating. If you feel even the slightest bit of guilt toward me, then I hope you'll act a

Julian was enjoying his lunch with a bearing of elegance.By the time we wrapped up, I was stuffed. Back at the office, I collapsed onto the couch, phone in hand, scrolling through the sales numbers for my merch. The sales for the plushies were climbing steadily, day by day. Other items were doing just as well. From zero orders, they had now grown into the hundreds.That was just from one platform. Curious, I checked the numbers on another platform and found the same results. They all had fantastic sales. It really was true. Hard work always paid off.Patting my full stomach, I waited until I felt less bloated before diving back into coloring my sketches. Time slipped by until Julian reminded me it was time to pick up Willow. Only then did I set my work aside.Heading downstairs, I stepped outside and saw that Shayne wasn't there. Relief washed over me as I climbed into the car.When we arrived at the kindergarten, we waited a couple more minutes before Willow appeared at the scho

Charlotte said with a smile on her face. "Looks like our last chat didn't quite hit the mark. So, here I am, ready to pick up where we left off."Luna easily sensed the hostility in Charlotte's words. "Had you told me this a few days earlier, I may have been more inclined to listen. But… Shayne has already made it clear that he no longer wants me."Luna had already stated that she planned to end things with Shayne, so she had no reason to push aside her self-worth. "He's trying to reconcile with Aralyn."Without hesitation, Charlotte retorted, "Impossible!"Luna's expression held a faint smile as she spoke. "Your son was the one who told me about this. If you don’t believe it, you can always call Shayne and confirm with him."With that, she turned around and headed back into the house. Charlotte stood still, lost in thought, before pulling out her phone and dialing Shayne's number. "Luna mentioned that you want to marry Aralyn again?"He didn't know how to respond to her mother

Ever since Willow was able to speak normally with her grandparents and Pamela, she stopped speaking to the mirror.The rest of her time was dedicated to reading.After everything was said and done, it was just about time for bed.Once Willow was asleep, I quietly slipped out of her bedroom.When Julian saw me walk out, he made his way toward the balcony.I knew he must've had something to say to me, so I followed him.The balcony lights were on.Everything in the distance was shrouded by night which added a touch of mystery.I sat in the chair to enjoy the rare moment of peace.Julian sat down next to me. Since drinking coffee late at night could disrupt sleep, he had switched to plain water.His voice sounded cold. "Were you living a particularly miserable life before you divorced Shayne?"It was odd. Despite the lack of emotion in his tone, there was a sense of concern and worry in his words.I carefully chose my words. "At that time, I always thought that a married coupl

"Is it Luna Sider?"Julian's cold gaze was filled with disdain. "Even knowing full well that the person you love is Aralyn, you can be swayed to leave with a single word from Luna…"Losing Aralyn isn't a coincidence—it's your destiny."To be frank, Mr. Pearce, you don't deserve a woman as amazing as Aralyn."Shayne was driving when he caught sight of Julian's messages out of the corner of his eye. Anger flared within him, prompting him to call Julian.When Julian answered the phone, Shayne immediately lashed out. "Hah, if Aralyn knew how cold-hearted you are, do you think that she would still like you?""Oh?" Julian responded calmly."Luna's hurt," Shayne said through gritted teeth. "Going to check on her is entirely reasonable."If Aralyn knew about it, she would think I was kind-hearted!"The way Shayne spoke with complete confidence gave Julian a bad feeling.Back when Shayne and Aralyn were still married, did Shayne always leave in the middle of the night to be by Luna's
