However, Julian stepped in front of me, his voice as calm as ever. "A man should marry a woman because he loves her, wants to build a life, and have a good future with her. It's not because she has a gentle personality, is tolerant of everyone, and won't cause him any trouble. I hope you can understand that."The more Julian spoke up for me, the more irritable Shayne felt because he understood that the better Julian treated me, the less of a chance he had."You sound so noble. But can you guarantee that you're with Aralyn not because of her personality?" Shayne sneered.Julian was clear about what he wanted, so he smiled and replied, "I won't deny that she has a great personality. But more than that, I want her to feel comfortable when she's with me rather than being constantly troubled by the people around me and living in unhappiness every day."Julian continued, "After your divorce, she had nothing to do with you anymore. Yet, the people around you still keep bothering her. What

"It's a pity that the excuse about money has already been cleared up. You can now try to find another reason to tell Julian and see if he'll get mad and leave me for it."Charlotte knew that Julian was wealthy, so if she brought up money, he definitely wouldn't care. There was no need to keep harping on this issue.Once Charlotte figured this out, she instantly became much more confident. "Let's say Aralyn's in the right when it comes to money. But when it comes to not respecting her elders, she can't escape this one!"She stared at me smugly. "As my daughter-in-law, she should've respected me. But what had she done? Not only did she not cater to me and serve me, but she didn't even visit me!"Shayne no longer wanted to look at Charlotte because she had no idea that she was digging a hole for herself for every single thing she said. She set a trap for her own argument.He finally realized just how childish Charlotte was every time she tried to pick on Aralyn. It was easy to see th

Not expecting Shayne to speak so harshly, Charlotte quickly refuted, "No, I just wanted them to break up!"She was just feeling bad for Shayne for drowning in heartbreak every day.It wasn't as if she really wanted to do anything terrible.And yet, this was how Shayne saw her.Charlotte felt as though her sincere intentions had been betrayed.Shayne laughed through his tears. "They won't break up, Mom. What you're doing will only bring them closer together, and it'll only make me feel more and more guilty. Mom, do you know when I'm alone at home lately, I keep thinking about the years I spent with her?"When she was giving birth, I asked you if I should give her money, and you said no. You said she should feel lucky just to have married me, so she should endure some hardship. At the time, I thought you made sense. But now, I realize just how cruel you really were."Shayne spoke in a calm tone as he laid everything out. "When she was with me, she became a full-time housewife, tak

"What if he doesn't want this child and just wants you to abort it?" Charlotte asked, extremely concerned.After all, she had already fallen out with Shayne. In her eyes, the baby in Luna's belly was her last hope.No matter what happened, Luna had to give birth to this child.Charlotte would not allow anything to happen to the baby.Luna understood just how much Charlotte cared about this child. She pretended to be sad and said, "Then I'll abort it. I'll just treat it as compensation for forcing Shayne into getting a vasectomy."Mom, if I hadn't been so desperate to secure a future for my child, you wouldn't have had to force Shayne to go through with the vasectomy. It's all my fault."Luna sniffled and added, "I should bear the consequences of my actions!""No! I won't allow it!" Charlotte said."But Shayne is already angry. If I don't do this, what else can I do?" Luna asked pitifully.Charlotte took a deep breath. "You're pregnant. Your most important task is to take care

Shayne would definitely come find Luna.Besides, he didn't exactly hate the child in her womb.Thinking of this, Luna couldn't help but smile. She raised her hand and stroked her stomach. "I never expected that in the end, you'd be the one helping me."She then sent a message to Charlotte. "Now we just wait for Shayne to come."Charlotte read the message and breathed a sigh of relief. She then put her phone back into her bag and planned to head over as well.After all, she had been acting as if she deeply cared about the baby in Luna's womb.If she knew Luna was going through with the procedure and didn't seem anxious at all, Shayne would definitely realize she was putting on an act.When Charlotte rushed into the courtyard, Shayne had just driven up. She immediately yanked open the car door and got in. "Hurry up, or we won't stop Luna in time!" she urged.She couldn't help but admire her acting skills. "Do you think Luna feels so guilty that she wants to apologize to you by gi
