Все главы A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve: Глава 441 - Глава 450

Shayne remained silent for a long time before finally explaining, "Is it possible that because your life is going well, you want to show off in front of the woman who stole your man?""That would only be the case if I still loved you. Only then would I keep thinking about you and be unwilling to let you go. And after doing well for myself, I'd want to prove something to you both."But the thing is, I stopped caring about you a long time ago. So, whether I live well or not, I have no reason to show off to either of you. Also, you said I reached out to Luna to bully her. Tell me how I contacted her, then," I retorted.Shayne immediately answered, "Your phone.""I've already blocked both of your numbers." I laughed.Shayne went silent."You're truly someone in my past now. My happiest moments are when Willow and Julian are by my side and when I don't have to deal with you. This may sound harsh to you, but it's the truth. Leaving you has only made me happier. "Why would I do someth

Shayne froze."Dad, do you need me to remind you how you've treated me since you divorced Mom?"Zach used to feel heartbroken when he thought about everything that had happened during that time. But he came to terms with it eventually.Aralyn had stayed by Shayne's side when he was broke, giving her all unconditionally. But in Shayne's eyes, Aralyn was always just a useless housewife.When his first love came back, Shayne discarded Aralyn without hesitation.What did that make him?Shayne opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. "Luna mistreated me. I told you honestly about the things she did to me, but all you thought was that I had something against Luna. You even started arguments with me over her," Zach said expressionlessly.He then laughed. "Then, after I moved out of the house, I was finally free from Luna's abuse. But you and Grandma preferred Luna's child. You even told me outright that you wouldn't give me a single penny anymore."When Zach first heard those wor

Charlotte realized she had misspoken and immediately apologized. "I'm sorry! My son truly isn't worthy of your daughter!"When she saw that Amber was satisfied, she continued the topic. "But who would've thought that not long after Aralyn got married, she became pregnant? And then she did absolutely nothing at home, relying entirely on my son to support her."Just think about it. My son faces so much stress at work every day. Instead of finding a job to help relieve some of that burden, all she thought about was staying home and enjoying herself! It was hard to handle a woman like her!"Since Julian was the primary breadwinner of the Hughes family, following Charlotte's logic, wasn't it also a major crime for the rest of them to enjoy their lives at home?Amber suppressed her dissatisfaction.Initially, she thought she and Charlotte might share common ground. But after hearing Charlotte's comments, she felt as if Charlotte was here to provoke her, perhaps even hinting that Amber h

"She probably also tried to cause trouble for Aralyn but was embarrassed because Aralyn didn't give in and fought back. When she found out she couldn't mistreat Aralyn herself, she came to provoke you into doing it instead."Sophia held Amber's hand. "If I ever got divorced in the future and ended up with a former mother-in-law like this…"Amber instantly flew into a rage. "Then I would absolutely go and give that lady a good beating!"After speaking, she suddenly realized something and looked up at Sophia.Sophia smiled. "You absolutely can't follow her example."Amber nodded seriously, saying, "Thank goodness you're here. Otherwise, I might have really been convinced by her. Charlotte is truly a vicious person."Sophia nodded. "That's right.""She wants to use me, huh?" Amber huffed in anger."No, I need to think of a way to get back at her, or that old hag will really take me for a fool!"Sophia watched as Amber stormed off before lounging on the couch. She picked up her ph

Eric had already picked Pamela up. He smiled and said to Ximena, "Let me. You should rest."Ximena didn't insist and replied sincerely, "Thank you.""You're welcome."All of us went to the dining room to eat. The original small dining table could no longer accommodate so many people, so we split into two tables.Pamela and Willow sat at the same table. They huddled together, chattering nonstop from the beginning of the meal.Every now and then, they would pause in confusion and ask others for help.The house was incredibly lively.I really liked this kind of atmosphere. Back when I lived at Shayne's house, Shayne was always too busy to spend time with me.Even after Zach was born, Shayne only stayed with me when Zach was too difficult to take care of.As Zach grew older and learned to eat by himself, Shayne would take Zach somewhere else to eat in the evenings.I was left alone, sitting in the dining room and eating the food I had cooked myself.Back then, I never thought th
