My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1330: Chapter 1159: Heart Worn Out with Worry

Old Master Zhang felt that he should finally lay everything bare; if things continued like this, they might only drift further apart.

”Zhentian, there’s something I’ve been pondering over and over, and I still believe I should tell you. You all think that your son has no feelings for you, but he has truly exhausted his heart for your sake. He knows all about your repeated arguments, how you nearly divorced once. He understood everything you both have gone through was self-inflicted, yet he’s silently contributed much to you.

If one day, you can truly appreciate him from the bottom of your hearts, I hope you treat him well. Stop hurting, abandoning, and using him!”

”Dad, what do you mean by that? I can’t understand what you’re saying.”

”I always felt that this man you keep imagining truly loves you, but if he really does, knowing what you do, how can he not love you? Why do you still choose to sacrifice your life again and again for him?

Zhang Yichen knew that if his father and mother continued discussing this matter, it would only result in deeper misunderstandings. At that time, his wife would definitely step forward, and his parents would be on the brink of divorce. He really didn’t want to see his parents’ relationship fall apart!

All his life, he had already endured too much separation and loss. He didn’t want his parents to experience it again, nor did he wish for his future child to come searching for grandparents while making excuses time after time. How cruel would that be for a child? Have you thought about that?

If both of you truly cared for this family, please make some concessions for each other. Don’t keep arguing like this; it’s only embarrassing without any benefit to anyone. The neighbors are observing the family’s every move, and today you’ve created such a scene. Do you want to embarrass your father again and again for what you’ve done? Why can’t you stand from Grandpa’s perspective and consider his feelings? He’s also an elderly person; he needs his children’s care...”

”Don’t speak so definitively because the more you insist, the less likely you’ll achieve what’s in your heart. In the end, it’s all for nothing, so why make it sound so ideal?”

”Perhaps in your eyes as a father, I’m worthless, but do you know that at least I won’t betray my wife? I can swear an oath, and I can repeatedly sacrifice my dignity and pride to make her happy. But in your eyes, what does my mom mean? I just want to stand up for my mom. She needs a stable home and her husband’s love. Do you know how much harm you’ve caused my mom over the years? You should be well aware. Some things I don’t choose to say, not because I don’t know, but because choosing silence allows me to see if you will change.

In the end, it turns out that every decision I made was wrong. You never think about how outrageous or wrong your actions are!

Do you think your marriage is happy now and that others’ marriages are unhappy? But you’ve never considered that the world is unpredictable; who knows what outcomes they will bring.”

Zhang Zhentian never thought that at his age, he’d be trained by his son like a dog confined to the home. He never expected his son would speak to him in such a manner. To him, it was hard to accept. In his eyes, no matter what mistakes his children make, he never believed his child would leave him with nothing and no one to support him.

This may be the greatest punishment for Zhang Zhenqing, but it’s also a painful punishment for Xia Ji. He just wants to be with the person in front of him. Yet to Xia Jing, this isn’t important; she only wants to quickly free herself from all of her obligations and regain her freedom from your clutches. But do you know, there are things in life that are truly unpredictable.

”You always say you know your limits, but do you realize you’ve manipulated every bit of that control in your hand? Time and time again, I’ve humbly searched for warmth in your tone. But when I realize I’m at a crossroads, you’ll find out how cruel it is. When I grasp the limits time and time again, I ultimately discover this was all just an intertwined fate with a supporting cast!

This attitude will let me truly profit this lifetime.”

”There’s nothing more I can say or change now. When the rivers here become so polluted, I knew I would never come back. I liked it here because of its beautiful landscape and because I could silently cherish someone I love dearly. But if one day, you lose that natural fragrance, why would I dwell with the memories of my beloved here? It’s disrespectful to him and means little to me. I do understand.”

”Father, if you truly love mom from your heart, if you truly see her as your wife, then please consider her feelings when you make decisions. Don’t repeatedly ignore her thoughts; it will only exhaust her. My mom only wants a stable life, her husband by her side, and to be with the person she loves most. That person has already left him, and he would live alone his whole life. Why don’t you take this chance to heal my mom’s broken heart?”

”Child, some things may seem easy to you, but to others, they can be the toughest decisions of a lifetime. No one considers the hard choices they must face. Only by consistently putting ourselves in others’ shoes can we have different life experiences. I’ve been living within my subconscious, never realizing there could be such kind people in the world.

Perhaps it was my own narrow vision; maybe it was my youthful naivety and foolishness that made me ignorant of such goodness.”

In fact, Zhang Zhentian knows that Xia Jun is now quite lonely. He can see Xia Jing’s inner care, yet they are both hiding their intense feelings, retaliating against each other.

You should all be clear about what transpired. Do you truly believe all you’ve experienced was coincidence? It’s not; it’s fate. The wrong things you did must be endured as punishment and consequences, but he bore all of that for you.
