Semua Bab The Reclaimed Rose: Bab 511 - Bab 520

The phone rang the moment the door of the bedroom closed. Julian took a look at the screen, seeing that it was a call from Shayne. With a blank expression on his face, he picked up the call and said, "What do you want?" Shayne sounded nervous as he said, "Give the phone to Aralyn. I need to tell her something." Julian replied in an icy voice, "She's putting Willow to sleep now. I don't think she'll have time to reply to you." Laughing, Shayne asked, "Aren't you in love with Aralyn? How could you let her even lift a finger?" "I don't love Luna, but I still hired someone to take care of her." Shayne was elated at his displeasure. "It seems that your love for Aralyn doesn't run that deep." Julian knew that Shayne was mocking him for not treating Aralyn well. However, he paid him no mind as he merely said, "Don't you know that Aralyn loves children? She'll only work after Willow has been to school. Then, when school ends, she'll devote all her free time to stay with her." S

Shayne went quiet. Julian persistently snapped. "If you were more generous and spent more money on her, she would've felt your love for her. She wouldn't have abandoned you. You wouldn't regret it as much as you do now, and you definitely wouldn't be so upset." Shayne grew even more uncomfortable. He wanted to tell Julian that he was wrong, but there was a small voice at the back of his mind telling him that the latter was telling the truth. Aralyn had been disappointed in him, but she had given him another chance for her child's sake. If he had treated her decently, she would've forced herself to stay together with him. She would do it just to give Zach a complete childhood. So, Shayne merely pursed his lips, unable to formulate a proper answer. Julian then slowly replied, "There's nothing else we can talk about other than work. Why don't you call back tomorrow morning? Or…" Shayne felt a small glint of hope. "Or what?" Julian calmly said, "Or you could just tell me

It didn't matter if the man already had a girlfriend. Even if the man told her that he wasn't interested in her, she would still do her best to make herself seem like a potential girlfriend. Rowan smiled bitterly. He would always be the one to make the first move in their relationship. Taking a deep breath, he sent her a message. "Do you know why I haven't tried dating anyone else?" Luna seemed reluctant to answer him. "Why?" Rowan gave her a serious reply. "I have so many women around me. They're all different. Some of them are smart, some are pure, and there are some who are pretty and elegant."His next message read, "However, among all of the women I've met, I never felt the urge to date them. That includes you."Luna looked at the message Julian sent her and felt a sharp twinge in her heart. What did Aralyn have that she didn't? Rowan continued to send messages. "Whenever I talk to Aralyn, I get the feeling that I want to spend the rest of my life with her. It's su

"You don't have what it takes to be Zach's grandma." Maisy retorted instantly. "Zach has cut ties with the Pearce family. Try disturbing him again, Charlotte, and you will know the meaning of pain. You have been warned!"At the next moment, Maisy led Zach into the living room and slammed the door. Charlotte yelled at the door, "How dare you talk about me that way?"Maisy heard it and opened the door again. "Why wouldn't I?""I was humiliated and infuriated because of Aralyn!" Charlotte glared at Maisy with unblinking eyes. "She and Shayne are divorced, and yet she kept picking fights with Luna. She was very rude to her."Aralyn even called the police on me when I stood up for Luna!"Maisy snickered. "If the police arrested you, that means you did something illegal. Aralyn didn't do anything wrong. How dare you say that she was mean to Luna?"Maisy sneered and continued, "Look at yourself, you old hag. Think about the kind of people you and Luna are. "Here's the answer. You're

Julian didn't answer me. Instead, he turned his head sideways and said uneasily, "Maybe it's because I'm used to having you to myself every day. When I was suddenly deprived of our private moment, I couldn't really adjust to it."I held Julian's hand when I heard what he said and deliberately teased him, "How about this? From here on out, I'll reject Willow whenever she asks me to sleep with her."Then, I'll clear my schedule and give you all of my time. What do you think about that?" Julian looked at me eagerly in response. All of a sudden, I had a bad feeling about it. After a brief moment of contemplation, however, he turned down my offer and said, "That won't be necessary. All I need is the knowledge that I have a place in your heart."My lips instinctively curled into a grin. "Don't worry, Julian." I turned around and continued, "You will always have a place in my heart, as long as you don't do anything wrong by me."Julian pulled me into his arms. "I'm not a moron like Sh
