My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1466: Chapter 1260: No Room Left

Sometimes I just want to have a good rest, just want to live easily, but it’s too difficult.

Xiao Wei and the others still don’t know about his sister’s situation. He thinks he should be living happily now, but how could he have guessed that during this time, so many accidents happened to his sister, one after another, leading her to now be in a state of madness, unable to discern right from wrong, even finding eating to be the greatest challenge. If he knew, he would probably be deeply pained, after all, she is the sister who has depended on him for so many years.

He has always wanted to return to his home country to accompany his sister, to see how she’s doing now, but he’s always been tied down by his wife; he cannot let his wife down, knowing what his wife expects of him.

In the past, he could live recklessly without care, but now he cannot do so because he has his own family, his own responsibilities to bear. He should change for his family, unlike before where he acted on every whim. Such behavior only distances his loved ones. What he wants is for his loved ones to always be by his side. Perhaps this is the most precious thing every family person wishes to have!

”Now you’re telling me it’s my negligence that made mom this way. Even if I were really at fault, can’t I just leave for a little while? I admit it was my oversight; it was careless of me to not foresee mom would end up like this. This is also a pain for me—a pain I’ve never imagined, having to guard her day and night like this. If she’s aware, she’d suffer greatly, as she’s never endured such pain. Now, she must silently bear it all alone, consequences each of us collectively gave to her.”

”Don’t you have things to do? I know you care about your career, care about this family, but don’t I care as well? She is my biological mother; I always wish for her to be healthier than anyone else, hope for her to be safe more than anyone. But some things are beyond my control. The results of everything I do only push me to the brink repeatedly. No one cares for my inner thoughts. Why do I keep sacrificing? I haven’t even told your uncle about this yet. You fear he’ll come to you for an explanation!”

”If sister knew you chose to expel grandma because of mom’s situation, do you think your uncle would agree? Would he continue to trust you?”

”You know better than anyone you need your uncle’s trust. Even though he’s been out of the underworld for years, he still has connections, and his network remains strong. You’re afraid of offending him time and again, hesitant to personally expel your mom for his sake. Yet, now you want to shift all the blame onto me. I won’t foolishly bear all the guilt for you.”

”As for grandma, I believe you should communicate with them properly. Regardless of their motives for returning to this home, since they chose to come back, they should stay peacefully and not cause further trouble. That would only harm everyone. People won’t forgive him for his past mistakes easily. Everyone has their own lives; he should bear the heavy price for his actions.”

”Even if I’m unsure if my mother’s current state is related to him, indirectly, it might be. Without their return, could mom have been neglected? Are you really unaware of how my mom treated you over the years? You betrayed my mom’s trust, placed her in the most awkward position, leaving her no way to get along with you. That’s why she becomes increasingly withdrawn.”

”Even if all the problems you claim are solely mine, shouldn’t you at least reflect if there are truly no issues within you? She is your mother while she is only my wife. I have my job; I should care for her, accompany and understand her, not neglect her. But what about you? Her son born after ten months of labor? As a junior, you don’t spend every day with your mother. How do you expect me to manage that?”

”Don’t you need to eat? Shouldn’t grandpa enjoy life at home for once? Doesn’t the great-grandfather hope for us to have successful careers? Everyone has different expectations, like my expectations for you. As long as you’re happy, even if you achieve nothing, I’m still content, still willing. I would give you all my wealth so you live a worry-free life. Would you accept that?”

”Of course, you wouldn’t. Such a life would be like a puppet, ridiculed and cursed as worthless. You wouldn’t live like that, much less me. Despite all the pressure I bear being no less than yours, why force me to endure the pain I’ve once suffered again, being mocked daily? Am I a useless person, abandoned by parents?”

”Can’t we stand in each other’s shoes for once? If you find this stifling, we can take turns. Whoever’s on duty must stay with your mom, no matter what, even if the sky falls. If you commit to that, I’ll accept your views without complaint, staying by her. But I can’t always be with her while you handle other matters. Do my company’s thousands of employees not need food? Can it halt operations? Would my wealth fall from the sky?”

Once some matters are settled, there’s no room for reversal.
