From this day onward, Shayne wanted to live happily with Luna. He wanted Aralyn to know that she would never return to his side, be his wife, or Zach's mother again.Upon thinking of this, his eyes curved into a smile. By then, Aralyn would surely regret everything she had done that day.…Once Julian got into the car, he handed his phone to me. "I figured since you weren't there, you'd want to know how Willow reacted after Zach apologized, so I recorded it for you."He then turned to look at me. "Take a good look.""Alright." I started the video and focused on Willow.She seemed very resistant at first, but she clearly seemed happy by the end of the video.I felt a sense of relief. "That's great.""Yeah," Julian replied calmly. "I think if we keep this up, Willow will get better one day."I nodded in agreement. "She definitely will."When we arrived at the company, Julian took me to his office just like yesterday. I stayed in the partitioned area, planning to continue colo

Julian had to stand his ground. Amber raised her voice. "Julian, you need to understand that you are no ordinary man. You have a large company! Who do you plan to leave such a large enterprise in the future if you don't marry and have kids? Willow?"Julian calmly replied, "Yes."Amber's head ached. "But Willow has autism! She doesn't even dare to speak to others. If you give her your company, then it won't be long before it shuts down!"Julian did not agree with her opinion. "First of all, her autism will gradually improve. Secondly, since I intend to have her inherit my company, I'll naturally work hard to train her. You don't have to worry about that." Amber saw that no matter what she said, Julian would always find suitable reasons to refute her, so she stopped making up excuses. "I won't allow it! Julian, as long as you still acknowledge me as your mother, you must get married!"She continued speaking at a rather fast pace, "I think Alice is rather good. I've asked her to

I shook my head. "I haven't eaten yet."Julian immediately apologized. "Sorry about that. I was busy with work and lost track of time for a moment. Figure out what you'd like to eat, and I'll treat you to it as penance!"I didn't refuse. "Let's just have some pizza from the second floor.""You don't have to save money," Julian said. He understood that Aralyn rarely ate here, so she didn't know which places were good.He ended up taking her to a nearby restaurant.Once they sat down, a server handed them a menu.Julian ordered a few signature dishes and then calmly explained, "The food here tastes nothing like what they serve in the cafeteria. You should give it a try.""Okay," I replied as I nodded.If it tasted good, then I could bring Willow here after I got paid.Julian paused for a moment before asking, "Do you plan on getting a boyfriend anytime soon?"I stared at him in surprise. "Why are you asking me this question?"Julian chose his words carefully. "If you're thinki

"As long as I find out about it, I'll deal with it immediately."Julian always kept his word.I believed him. "Alright."Of course, there was another major reason why I wasn't afraid of Julian's parents—I could speak and explain myself.If his parents misunderstood and thought there was something romantic between us, I could tell them the truth exactly as it happened. That way, they'd surely stop making things difficult for me.Thinking of this, I finally felt at ease.Upon seeing my expression relax, he looked at the time and said, "Let's go and pick up Willow.""Okay."…There were a lot of parents at the kindergarten entrance. However, as the younger kids started coming out, the crowd gradually thinned.In the end, only a few people remained."Shayne."I turned my head when I heard someone calling for Shayne. That was when I saw Luna and Shayne, who hadn't come to pick up Zach in days.Luna looked at me challengingly. She then leaned into Shayne's arms. "I'm so tired."

However, Luna still wanted to buy him a game console. She definitely hoped he'd get addicted to it and turn bad. That way, his dad wouldn't like him anymore.Zach was about to speak, but when he saw the hopeful look in Shayne's eyes, he ultimately stayed quiet and nodded. "She's great.""Really?" Shayne rubbed Zach's cheek. "Since you like Luna as well, then let's live happily as a family of four from now on."Right now, Luna could still pretend to be kind to Zach in front of Shayne. But what about the future? Zach was very worried that Luna would mistreat him again in the future. As such, he didn't respond to Shayne's comment.…When Willow got home, she put down her little backpack and excitedly ran up to me.She gestured enthusiastically as she spoke. "Today, Zach apologized to me in front of the whole class!"I pretended to be surprised and asked, "Really?"Willow nodded enthusiastically. "That's right! I'm so happy."After she finished speaking, she burrowed into my embra
