Semua Bab The Reclaimed Rose: Bab 521 - Bab 530

Julian was afraid someone would overhear him. So, he explained in a low murmur, "I just wanted to keep your company, even if it's only for a few minutes."I never considered that Julian would be a clingy boyfriend. Still, I patted his arm gently and asked, "Have you had lunch?"Julian froze.I handed him my cutlery and urged, "You should eat too. Don't you starve yourself.""Okay."Julian had clearly forgotten that he hadn't eaten, so he only brought a set of cutlery. Thus, I took a couple of bites before passing them to him. That way, he could have some food to fill his belly too.Once we were finished with our meal, Julian packed the thermos away and gently began to massage my hand. "You've been signing away for the entire morning. Your hand must be sore."If this question was posed to me before my divorce… Or if the man across me were Shayne, then I'd definitely insist that I wasn't tired.That was because I knew that Shayne wouldn't care even if I claimed that I was tired.

Rowan had his pride and temper.Although Rowan loved her… Luna had a feeling that Rowan might not forgive her.Luna hung up the phone and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Her eyes landed on the trees beyond the window, but her mind was filled with nothing but Rowan.Frankly, out of all the men she had met… If there had been one who had truly fallen for her, then that man would definitely be Rowan.Therefore, she was certain that even if she went for another man, Rowan would still return to her side as long as she coaxed him with sweet nothings.That was why she was willing to spare some of her time to talk to Rowan.Luna sat on the chair nearby and gently massaged her temples.She couldn't understand why she did what she did. She had clearly decided to keep Rowan as her fallback option. So, what possessed her to impulsively say all those things to Rowan?Now, how was she going to explain things away in order for Rowan to forgive her?…Julian efficiently skimmed through

"This isn't my style," Julian said, slowing his speech and speaking in a calm, measured tone. "Since we're going to invest, there must be a more important part in their plan."Mark looked at Julian, bewildered, not understanding what he meant. He voiced his confusion. "What?"Julian replied with a faint smile. "What I mean is, we must ensure that we have absolute control over this project."Otherwise, if we hand over the money and they casually produce some garbage movie, claiming it was done based on our requirements, they'll just pocket our investment. And if the box office doesn't do well, wouldn't we take a massive hit?"Hearing this, Mark suddenly realized the significant risk involved. His face immediately turned pale. "I'm sorry, Mr. Hughes. I didn't consider all this initially.""It's fine," Julian said nonchalantly. "We can invest because we don't lack money. But the key is… We can't be taken advantage of.""So, if we invest, we are entitled to oversee the movie's conten

It seemed like Charlotte had completely forgotten that she had just been caught red-handed by Shayne.Her anger glared even more. "Shayne, I'm your mother! How can a son stand by and watch his own mother be bullied without doing anything?"She was stunned by Shayne's cold-heartedness.Shayne's tone remained steady, with no trace of emotion. "This is all just a guess. So, I guessed it right, didn't I?"Charlotte was at a loss for words.He continued, "Mom, I'm really busy right now. Next time, don't bother me with trivial matters like this."Charlotte wanted to say more, but the call was already disconnected.Staring at the screen, she was seething with anger, but in the end, she had no idea how to release it.…A man hid in the corner, watching Aralyn sit alone in a room, signing some documents. He quietly pulled out his phone and called Luna. "Aralyn's alone!"Luna couldn't contain her excitement. She had been waiting for an opportunity to capture Aralyn and record videos th

Julian chuckled lightly and said, "No need. Aralyn, having you running back and forth is too exhausting. It makes my heart ache."It was strange. Every time I heard him say such considerate words in a serious tone, I felt a warmth in my heart. "Alright, then we'll meet at the kindergarten entrance?"Julian agreed, "Okay."The driver drove me to the kindergarten entrance. I opened the car door, stepped aside, and waited for Willow to appear."Aralyn."Hearing someone call my name, I turned around. I saw Shayen walking toward me.The smile on my face disappeared instantly. My first instinct was to turn and retreat into the car.Shayne blocked my path. "I need to talk to you.""Sorry!" I coldly declined. "I don't want to listen."He didn't give me the chance to refuse. He started speaking right away. "I went to see a therapist a few days ago…"I glanced at him.He continued, "He asked me a lot of questions, and after reflecting on them one by one, I realized that after we got m
