Chapter 106

Author: Walking on Clouds
When Willow finished resting, the whole family gathered in the dining room to enjoy dinner together.

Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Eric couldn't help but swallow hard.

Julian noticed this and was worried Eric might feel too shy to eat. Hence, he served Eric some food with his utensils.

Eric quickly waved his hands. "No need. I can do it myself."

"Don't hold back," Julian uttered calmly.

I glanced at Julian unintentionally. It was strange how his demeanor and interactions often made him seem distant and aloof. Yet, in everyday life, he came across as genuinely thoughtful.

Willow had taken a few bites of her food. Once her hunger subsided a bit, she regained her usual energy as she asked, "Mommy, if I keep this up and train every day, can I become a martial arts master?"

Though she hadn't even started practicing martial arts or boxing yet, her earlier dream of being a boxer had already been replaced by new ambitions.

I wasn't sure what she meant by 'martial arts

    It was clear what she was trying to say—Mason needed to have that lucky charm.However, Shayne didn't plan to give in to her. "I've given you plenty of money recently. If you really want to give Mason one, then take him out and buy him one yourself."As he spoke, he nudged Zach gently. "Want to open it and see if you like it?""Yes!" Zach realized that although Shayne always sided with Luna and Mason, when it came to major issues like this, Shayne would always back him up.Setting the paper bag aside, Zach opened the jewelry box and saw the bright golden item inside."Dad, I love it!" he exclaimed."Then go keep it in a safe place," Shayne replied, patting him on the back.Zach sprinted back to his room and closed the door. He opened his custom-made table. There was a hidden drawer there, and he slid it open, revealing several passbooks.The money there had been saved by Aralyn. There were also several property deeds, most of which were for commercial spaces. These were also th

    "I just feel that you'll go back to Zach and be his mom again." Willow sobbed."Why would you think that?" I asked in surprise.She stifled her tears and replied, "Because you gave birth to him."Upon hearing this, I realized that Willow still felt insecure.Even though she usually played happily with me, any small stir from Zach would make her tense and worried that I would abandon her.I carefully considered how to reassure her."I know what it's like not to have a mom. It's not easy. But I also feel selfish… It's as if I stole someone else's mom. But I love you so much, Mommy. I don't want to give you back to him." Her voice trembled.I held her small hand gently and said, "Actually, I think being a little selfish is okay. You don't need to sacrifice your own happiness just to make someone else's life better."Willow looked at me, confused.I smiled. "I let go of Zach because he hurt me. No matter how much he changes afterward, it has nothing to do with me anymore. I chose

    "I'm planning to sign you under my comic company. That way, you won't need to worry about promotion or publicity anymore. In the future, all you need to focus on is drawing your work," Julian uttered.These past few days, I had indeed been incredibly busy. Besides sketching, I had to color the completed line art. After finishing all that, I barely had any time left. Whatever time I did have, I spent brainstorming ways to get my work seen by a larger audience. My original plan was to set aside a few hours daily to learn promotional techniques. But now, Julian had saved me from that time-consuming effort."Thank you," I uttered, thrilled.Julian looked into my eyes. "Lyn, you don't have to be so formal with me."…Luna sat in her bedroom, growing increasingly frustrated. She still wanted to reclaim the golden lucky charm that had been gifted to Zach.Her initial plan had been to bring it up in passing when Shayne came to find her. But it was already 10:30 pm, and he still hadn't

    It wouldn't be long before Shayne grew tired of her and found an excuse to kick her out.There was absolutely no way that Luna was going to let that happen.She made up her mind. She needed to find more opportunities to strengthen her bond with Shayne. Only by doing so could she stay by his side a little longer.…To help Willow improve her health, I made a point of waking her up ten minutes earlier than usual.Willow was still sleepy, but she still got out of bed.First, I had her walk a few hundred meters. Once she was fully awake, we started jogging together. When she got tired, we took breaks.After repeating this a few times, Willow was so exhausted she could barely breathe, let alone walk.She flopped down onto the grass, completely motionless.Knowing she was worn out, I carried her back to her room. Once she had washed up, I helped her take a bath.After putting on her clothes, Willow said solemnly, "It seems like getting healthier isn't something that can be achieved

    For the first time, Zach despised his own foolishness. Why did he have to wait until now to realize how amazing Aralyn was?"Can you forgive me?" he pleaded.…Watching his heart-wrenching sobs, I was surprised to find my own heart completely calm. "Does it matter if I forgive you or not?"Zach's crying came to an abrupt halt, and he stared at me in shock."No matter who it is, before doing anything, they should think carefully about the consequences because some mistakes can never be undone." "But I'm just a kid…" Zach wiped his tears, panicking."Kids also need to take responsibility for their choices," I replied calmly.Zach tried hard to stifle his sobs, but he couldn't stop himself."Hopefully, after experiencing all this, you'll think more carefully before making decisions in the future," I uttered slowly."Okay." Zach nodded, still gasping for breath between his tears.I glanced over at Julian, who stood nearby. "Let's go."Julian nodded. "Alright."…Shayne leane

    Shayne waited for Luna to respond, but when she didn't, his expression darkened slightly. He pressed further, "Did you hear me?""Yes," Luna replied half-heartedly, brushing him off.She had no interest in discussing anything related to Aralyn with Shayne, so she quickly changed the subject. "By the way, you have a gathering tonight. Don't forget to attend."The event was being hosted by one of his friends.Shayne hadn't been in the best of moods over the past few days. Thinking it might be a chance to relax and unwind with his friends, he smiled faintly."Are you coming?" he asked lightly.Luna shook her head and placed her hand over her stomach gently. "No. Going out and having too much fun might not be good for the baby, so you go by yourself."Shayne, considerate as always, said, "Make sure to take care of yourself."Luna shook her head and chuckled. "It's just for a little while. You don't need to worry about me that much."Even though she was only with Shayne for his mon

    Amber followed Julian into the office, unable to contain her frustration.…"My son is here to work. What are you doing here?" She was clearly targeting me, as her tone was dripping with malice.I had just placed my laptop down when I heard Amber's voice. Looking up, I calmly replied, "Designing."Julian knew his mother was just looking for a way to vent her displeasure. He had to intervene. "Mom," Julian said firmly."What?" Amber asked in dissatisfaction. "I need to work now," Julian emphasized each word.Amber understood immediately—Julian was trying to get her to leave. She shot me a fierce glare before storming off.As she stepped out of Hughes Group, a thought suddenly struck her.There were plenty of empty offices in the company. Why did Julian insist on sharing one with Aralyn?Could he… have feelings for Aralyn?…I stared at the laptop screen before turning to look at Julian.From the day of my divorce until now, both Julian and Willow had taken great care of me

    Shayne leaned closer to Luna and whispered, "Go and pick something first. I saw someone I know, so I'm going to go greet her. I'll pay when I come back."Luna, entirely focused on the gold jewelry in front of her, replied absentmindedly, "Alright."Shayne strode upstairs.…I was staring at the various ties in front of me, carefully considering which one to get.Julian's suits were typically a steady black. And there were plenty of tie options that matched black. Taking his personality into account, I eventually decided on a deep blue tie and was about to take it to the cashier."Pick another one. I don't like that color."I heard a voice behind me. When I turned around, I saw Shayne standing there, smiling.What he liked or didn't like had nothing to do with me. It wasn't as if I was buying for him.I gave him a puzzled glance before striding toward the cashier. "Excuse me, how much is this?"The cashier replied with a cheerful smile, "16 thousand."Though not cheap, it was

    Alice nodded while continuing to accept the money people were transferring to her. At the same time, she added them all to a new group chat she had just created.She rested her chin on her hand, looking serious.Joseph asked, "What's wrong?""I thought only a few people would come, so I only booked a small private room." As Alice spoke, she quickly called the hotel.After confirming that there was still an available hall, she reserved it immediately.She also explained her needs to the staff and asked them to set up the space for them tomorrow afternoon.She then inquired about the exact cost and transferred the money right away.As for the remaining funds…Alice stared at her account balance longingly for a while before transferring all of it to Julian.Confused, Julian replied with a question mark.Alice felt as if her heart was bleeding. "Everyone heard you're coming, and they're bringing their families along."Julian didn't know what to say.Alice sighed. "After deducti

    "But I felt that since everything came from Julian, it wouldn't be right not to give him a share, so I transferred a large portion to him. I think he's worried that I'd ruin his reputation, so he agreed to come along. This is such a great opportunity. You can't miss it," said Alice."Alright, then. Send me the time and location. I'll be there on time," Danny replied cheerfully.He was deeply moved. "You've grown up, my dear daughter. You even thought of me for something this great. As a reward, I'll transfer you some money. Make sure to accept it.""Thank you, Dad!" Alice accepted it immediately.Then, she announced the news in the group chat, "I'll be bringing a very special guest tomorrow!"Everyone in the group had been curious about what Julian had taught Alice.When they saw Alice's message, they all found it amusing."To be honest, no matter who you invite now, we won't be surprised.""Yeah."Their fathers were all well-known figures in the industry, so as long as they w

    Joseph thought about it seriously and then nodded. "Yeah.""Then I'll transfer some money to Julian."Although Alice had received a lot of money from her friends, ever since she joined the project and started earning a share of the profits, she didn't really care about this amount anymore.She only kept a portion for herself and transferred the rest to Julian.Alice even made sure to explain, "I told my friends in the group chat that I learned some valuable experience from you and that I could teach them. They were all willing to pay for knowledge. This money's from them."Then she took a screenshot and sent it to Julian."I only kept a small portion for myself. And I've arranged to meet them at the hotel tomorrow to give the lecture."…When Julian received the message, he glanced at it before handing his phone to me, who was sitting across from him. "What is she trying to do?"I took the phone and read the message. "Maybe she just thinks that if you hadn't taught her, she wo

    When Joseph heard the notification sound from his phone, he picked the phone up to see a message from Alice.Reading the message, he instantly guessed what Alice was planning.He could hardly believe his eyes. "Are you planning to make money off what Julian taught you?""Yeah," Alice said matter-of-factly. "With such a great opportunity, why wouldn't I?"Joseph was speechless.The people in the group chat saw her message and immediately expressed their doubts."Everyone knows you used to chase after Julian and got rejected by him ruthlessly. Even if he suddenly had a charitable moment and decided to teach people, he definitely wouldn't teach you."Everyone thought the same thing, but Alice wasn't offended. "Joseph was right next to me when Julian was teaching me. If you don't believe me, you should at least believe him, right?"All of them were aware of Alice and Joseph's huge falling out, so they figured Joseph wouldn't lie for her. They all asked Joseph to confirm whether Ali

    Julian raised an eyebrow. "Oh?""You definitely think that if I stay in the company, I'll compete with you for Aralyn's time! That's why you keep talking about how great starting a business is." Alice knew Julian had ulterior motives."You just want me to quit my job impulsively! That way, when I'm at work, I won't be able to meet Aralyn anymore!"If that happened, Aralyn would spend the entire day in the office with Julian.To prevent this from happening, Alice decided that she would stay at the company with Aralyn all the way until retirement.Hmph! She would never let Julian get his way!Joseph patted Alice's arm. "Mr. Hughes is a busy person. There's no way he'd be the person you just described."Alice scoffed. "You've never spent time with him, so of course you don't know what kind of person he is.""Plan failed," Julian muttered, not bothering to hide his disappointment.Alice handed Julian the company's plan. "As punishment, help us review what we need to pay attention

    "Maybe all you'll be able to do is hold onto your idea and regret it while watching someone else use it to make a fortune."Upon hearing this, Joseph said seriously, "I understand. For the projects I personally handle, I'll take 90% and give 10% to the company. It'll be the same for the other employees."Julian gave him a meaningful look. But since they weren't close, he didn't offer much advice.He then looked at Alice and asked, "After founding the company, he'll be on the front lines handling projects. What about you?"Alice responded without hesitation, "I'll go to work, of course. Hughes Group is an amazing place to work. There's no way I'd give that up so easily."Julian chuckled. "I'm talking about your company. He's unwilling to pass projects to other people. But your company still needs someone to oversee the bigger picture; you're the only one who should do that."Alice asked in disbelief, "Me? Can I handle it?""You have to. If you run into problems you can't solve, y

    "Alice was right—you really are amazing," Joseph said, seemingly nervous.Hearing this, I looked up at Joseph. "Thank you."Alice lifted her chin. "Of course! Any woman I approve of is definitely extraordinary.""You have a good eye." I chuckled.Alice agreed enthusiastically, "That's right!"After chatting with me, Alice turned her attention to Julian. "By the way, what's the most important thing when starting a company in your opinion?"Alice wanted to build a bigger company and keep it running for a long time. But she didn't know how to make a company last."It's simple—money," Julian replied unhurriedly."As long as you're generous and give your employees more money, they'll create value for you beyond your imagination."Alice knew this was exactly how Hughes Group operated, but hearing Julian state it so directly still shocked her.Joseph felt the same way.It was as though they had just discovered a whole new world.After all, no one had ever explained it to them like

    Shayne's love for Aralyn would fade gradually.Charlotte felt that if things reached that point, Shayne wouldn't hold a grudge against her over the vasectomy anymore.Instead, he would realize that everything she did was for his own good.The more Charlotte thought about it, the more convinced she became that her priority now was to break Julian and Aralyn up. She took a taxi to the entrance of Hughes Group, but when she saw the tightly shut gates, she froze.Seeing her standing there in a daze, someone nearby approached her. "Hughes Group is closed on weekends. If you need to see one of their employees, you can come back on Monday."Charlotte nodded numbly. "Okay, thank you."Even if they weren't at the company, that didn't matter. She could go to Julian's house and meet him there.After all, she had to settle this today!Otherwise, as long as Shayne kept blaming her, she wouldn't be able to feel at ease.…The car was moving down the road.Joseph sat in the passenger seat,

    "I'm heavily pregnant right now. I need someone to take care of me. If I move in with you, can you afford to hire a nanny to take care of me? And Mason is currently attending the best kindergarten in the city. The tuition costs hundreds of thousands a year. Can you afford that?"She asked one question after another, leaving Rowan at a loss for words.Luna took a deep breath. "Even though Shayne is angry right now, I believe as long as I hold on, he'll calm down eventually. And then he'll continue to provide me with a good life.""So, you called me just to complain? You never actually thought about coming back to me?" Rowan asked.Luna was silent for a long time before replying, "Yes.""Alright."She had hurt Rowan repeatedly, and he had said over and over again that he would forgive her. But now, he finally realized that Luna never needed his forgiveness.In fact, Luna could live just fine without him."Maybe Shayne was just acting on impulse. You don't need to take it to heart
