My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1286 - 1115: Reunion Festival

Do you still remember? On the day of the reunion, how many people were eagerly waiting for their family to return to them, hoping to see their family happily together having a reunion dinner. It’s really too difficult for a family to be reunited. If a family can really come together, what they gain is all the love they deserve in this life.

"Since you no longer hate your mom and dad now, could you let them come back home? After all, they are your parents. It’s because of them that you exist; they gave you life. If you let them return, they will surely be very happy. I believe, the day you truly do not hate them from the bottom of your heart is the day your heart is truly at peace. Because in your heart, you believe your parents must love you, no matter why they abandoned you initially, you are still important to them in their hearts if you trust your parents! Isn’t that right?" Old Master Zhang asked Zhang Yichen.

Zhang Yichen was stunned, he realized that only his grandfather knew him best.

"Grandfather, I knew it. In this world, only you truly love me dearly. I also know how much you have sacrificed for me. But do you know? I don’t wish for you to be hurt anymore because of me. I want to see you live happily, seeing you suffer so much pain for my sake makes my heart ache. I really hate to see my most beloved grandfather, shedding tears and worrying because of me. You’ve sacrificed so much for me over the years, and I have not repaid you at all, yet I have been willful time and again, causing you heartbreak and worry. I am really sorry, but I hope you can forgive me. I don’t know what to say about my parents because they say you guess. Having such a big psychological shadow for a child like me, if it weren’t for their heartless abandonment, I wouldn’t have to endure other people’s mockery, and I wouldn’t have to see others’ scorn. Many times I really can’t understand, why can other parents give everything for their children, but mine cannot? My parents chose to hurt me time and again, they didn’t sincerely see me as their son. I really don’t understand how there can be such heartless people like my parents in this world. But now I understand, my parents are not heartless, they just don’t know how to get along with me as their son. They don’t understand how to be together with me as their son. They are blindly trying to have a good relationship with me, but they didn’t think that the way they try to maintain a harmonious relationship with me is wrong, and that unscrupulous way of dealing with things is what I hate the most. Maybe this is why my relationship with them is getting more and more distant."

"Child, your heart is just like Grandfather’s; you both know that your parents are not inherently bad. They just don’t know how to be with the person they love the most. They don’t know how to get along with their son. You were the child they worked hard to have; they won’t not love you. But many times, love isn’t just words; it needs to be proven by actions. You understand this too. But do you know? Your parents have sacrificed a lot for you. Don’t think their abandonment was a huge mistake. Yes, it was wrong to abandon you, but it happened for a reason. Can’t you try to understand them a little?"

"Grandfather, I really don’t understand why, even now, you want me to empathize with my parents. But when they did those things, did they consider how painful it was for me as their child? Watching helplessly as my parents hurt my most beloved woman, and being powerless to stop it – do you know how helpless that feels? It’s as if the entire world has turned dark, engulfed in darkness with not a glimmer of light. That kind of pain is like being in hell, but all of it wasn’t given to me by strangers but by the ones I trusted most – my mom and dad. Since childhood, I have longed for my parents to return to me, to give me the love from parents that I have never had. When they hurriedly returned home a few years ago, it wasn’t out of genuine love for me but to use me to hurt my most beloved woman once more. From that time on, I realized, maybe my parents didn’t truly see me as their son; their love for me was so overwhelming that I couldn’t bear it, placing so much pressure on my heart. I watched time after time as they hurt my most loved woman, and I was helpless to protect her. The helplessness almost drove me crazy; I even wished the world would stop. I hoped time could forever stay on the day our family lived happily together, never moving forward. I don’t even know how to face this world that I can’t face. I never want to endure that kind of helpless feeling again in this life. I don’t want to collapse again. Maybe it’s nothing in your heart, but I can see how much you care for my parents and will always love them, willing to give up anything. You gave up so much even for your own son, let alone for me. But I can’t do anything for you, Grandpa. Over these years, I have stopped digging into what my parents owed me in this life. I just want them to come back home as you wish so that our family can be reunited. But now they’ve gotten a divorce. Perhaps they weren’t meant to live under the same roof. I did my best to persuade them for a remarriage, but they didn’t want to be together again. Maybe because my father’s decision back then was too resolute, truly hurting my mom’s heart. When I saw my mother cry because of a decision my father made, did you know how painful it felt for me? That’s my mother, after all! Even if she has made countless mistakes, she is still the mother who gave birth to me. Now I understand, no matter how big a mistake a mother makes, every mistake she makes for her child is justifiable because she truly cares for her child. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have done so much, wouldn’t have been willing to sacrifice everything for her child. Because of this, I chose to believe in my mom, and because of this, I agreed to let them continue to live together, agreed to let them come back to the Zhang Family and live a happy life with us."

A complete and perfect holiday was too hard. Everyone was busy with their work, and when one returned home, the warmth they yearned for was no longer there. I once saw how loving my mom and dad were, but it was only a dream. Although it was a dream, I still held onto it as if it were reality. How I wish it could become reality and appear in my life!
