My Alleged Husband

Chapter 2229: Chapter 2062: Heartfluttering Cuteness

A moment of heartstrings is fleeting, sometimes taking action is better than being moved!

Zhang Zhentian didn’t expect that this time he didn’t say anything, everything was seen clearly by his father, as if he could see through his heart. It was terrifying; couldn’t he even have a stray thought? But he must think this matter through. If he really gave up his entire family just because of a wrong turn in his life, then it would be just like his father said, he would never have another chance to return to this family.

But if he really made a mistake this time, choosing to give up his wife in favor of his family, then his wife would leave him and never forgive him. Why did he have to face such a dilemma, stuck between a rock and a hard place? All he wanted was a win-win solution so that everyone would be willing to accept him and consider him family.

Why was such action so difficult, why was it that he could never get what he wanted? Was it really so hard? How would others choose when faced with a beloved woman on one side and a family he owed for years on the other?

”Dad, I have to admit I had those thoughts, but now hearing you say this, I’m really conflicted. I don’t know what I should do; I’m afraid you and my wife won’t get along, that you’ll keep putting her in tough spots. I don’t want her to feel wronged, I just want to see her bright, happy smile. All these years she has also wanted to return to this family, to be with you.

Her longing for everyone in this family is no less intense than mine, yet I’ve done too many things that brought you to tears. But she is innocent, no matter how stubborn she was or how obsessive her actions were in the past, she is still my wife, part of this family. We should all choose to accept, forgive, and understand her, don’t you think?

From the beginning, I knew our household’s peace relied on us, and eventually, we hurt you again and again, causing prejudice that persists to this day. We understand this is our own doing and we can’t blame others. But we also want to return to this family and settle down. We don’t want to wander outside forever. No one, once back home, wishes to continue wandering — that’s not the ending anyone wants!”

”We never intended to make things difficult for her, we just wanted to know if you were genuinely returning to this family. Isn’t she allowed to as well? If your return is insincere and you hurt us once again, how should we handle it then? Are we doomed to be hurt by you repeatedly without even basic self-protection?

You are my son, could you put more thought into what you say and do? How do I have a son so thoughtless as you? How should I answer what you said? She’s my daughter-in-law, whatever the case, I’ll consider her interests first. But you, by saying these words, you’re treating me as if I’m not your father. If she knows, how would she feel?

If these words are truly your own, I can understand. But if she told you to say them, I will, without hesitation, drive you away again, no matter what. I’m not a saint, I won’t cater to your every wish. You must face the consequences of your actions, even if you’ve had a rough few years. Isn’t this your own doing, rather than my forcing you into a life of suffering?

Don’t blame others for your mistakes; find the cause within yourself. Did you really do something wrong? If not, then perhaps the problem lies with someone else. Whenever there is a problem, look for the cause in yourself first, not blame others — that’s not what a real man does.”

”Dad, I’m sorry, today’s issue is my fault. I was too impatient, I don’t want to be kicked out again, and I don’t want my wife to leave me, so I said those things to you. Actually, those words come from me alone, they have nothing to do with my wife; she doesn’t know, I’ve never thought of telling her, nor did she ask me to say any of this to you.

I’ve just seen too many ups and downs; I just wish everyone could live harmoniously. Over the years, we’ve pursued the same life — the hope for our family to stay by our side, to reunite, to sit together during holidays for a reunion meal instead of being in separate territories.

I’m not the kind of person without a conscience; I have a heart and soul, I’m a living person. I know emotions, I understand how important my feelings are. I just don’t want my family and wife to put me in a dilemma again and again. I truly have no way to choose between my family and my wife.

You are the family I owe for years, but she is the wife who has been with me for so long. How could I abandon the wife who fatefully accompanied me all these years to make up for you? But how could I abandon you for a wife who has been with me for so long? It would only put me in the middle and get attacked from both sides, ultimately making me not belong anywhere. Whatever I choose would end up hurting one side. The only solution I can think of is for you to peacefully coexist and not put me in the middle. I just want everyone to live happily, without unnecessary sacrifices repeatedly made for one side to please the other. That is not a long-term solution. Can that truly make a family last forever? Never!”

Action is important, but feeling moved is still crucial. Some people live without love, only responsibility.
