My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1354 - 1180: Your Fault?

You said you never left, I’m waiting for your return, but in the end I can’t wait for anything.

Old Master Zhang listened outside the door to the conversation between his son and daughter-in-law. He listened for so long, yet he didn’t hear a single correct sentence.

He always thought his son was someone with high emotional intelligence, but he didn’t realize his son was actually so foolish. Should a woman be treated in this way? If so, why would other women repeatedly avoid him when they see him?

He couldn’t hold back anymore. He truly stepped forward, pushed open the door, and walked into his son’s bedroom, looking at his son and daughter-in-law. He wanted to give them both a good lesson.

"Dad, why are you here?" Zhang Zhentian and Xia Jing asked in unison when they saw Old Master Zhang push the door open and come in.

"Why can’t I be here? If I don’t come, would you two ever stop? I listened outside the door for so long, but neither of you recognized your mistakes, right?

Zhang Zhentian, don’t you at least have the basic dignity and backbone? If a woman doesn’t love you, she doesn’t love you, no matter how much you sacrifice for her, she won’t fall in love with you. Since that’s the case, why are you shamelessly trying to be with her? Her heart doesn’t include you, no matter how much you give, even sacrificing your life, can she truly see you as the person she loves the most?

Never, because deep in her heart, it’s already given to someone else. You can never win her heart!

A happy marriage requires the effort of both people, but the premise of a happy marriage is that the emotion between the two must be deep, and there must be enough trust. Do you think you two still have such deep feelings and basic trust? You both suspect each other; do you think this is truly happiness?

I really didn’t expect that the child I worked so hard to raise would be so foolish. You ignore your business acumen, fine, but why can’t you learn even the most basic things? Don’t you know how to protect your dignity? You let your wife repeatedly point at your nose and mock you, and what do you do? You only apologize to her time and again, thinking this would soften her heart?"

Listening to these words from her father, Xia Jing felt embarrassed, only managing a foolish smile, but her smile angered Old Master Zhang.

"What are you laughing at? Do you find it amusing that your husband repeatedly sacrifices everything for you, even his life? Are you honestly that heartless? Does your husband’s treatment of you evoke any feelings in your heart? Trying to be with him, attempting to accept him, isn’t that happiness for you?

Sometimes, don’t attach too much importance to things, you might feel happy in your heart, but for those around you, it’s painful.

Perhaps you haven’t realized what mistakes you made. You hid your emotions and hurt my son, pulling him into emotional turmoil, making him unable to escape for life.

Do you feel happy being with him? Happy together? Is this really the life you want deep in your heart? Have you never thought about how you should live your life, continuously making such decisions, and what results they bring?"

"I really can’t understand why you, as a couple, are entangled in this matter day after day. I hear my son begging you repeatedly in a pleading tone to try being with him, yet you maintain that heartless stance, without even a smile or basic respect!

No matter what, you are each other’s spouse, your legal status remains! Do you really think this constant strife is appropriate? Seeing your partner lower their head in front of you repeatedly, do you truly feel happy, joyful, and satisfied?

Sometimes you start thinking his kindness is expected. When you get used to his kindness, one day he suddenly isn’t nice to you anymore, you would think he’s changed, and the world has abandoned you.

But has he really changed? Did he really abandon you? He’s been hurt deeply, not knowing how to speak to you, so he hides behind a prickly façade, hurting others to protect himself. Have you ever thought about what he has experienced? You only focus on your own desires, but she can’t afford that happiness you seek, while you can afford his desired happiness, why not try giving her happiness in return and let yourself be happy too?

Some words I find difficult to say to you directly, but I hope you both take them to heart. Only with careful consideration will you make the right decision and not regret it for life, otherwise, what’s the point of making such a decision?"

Xia Jing and Old Master Zhang felt their father’s words were very true.

Xia Jing wondered if she was truly heartless? Why did she remain silent when her husband repeatedly lowered himself and said those touching words to her, why did she choose to cruelly refuse and evade?

Sometimes just two photos make her feel she seems cold-hearted, no matter how much she sacrifices, it’s insignificant in his eyes. He will never change his opinion due to her efforts; he only sees the price she paid for him that ends with his cold treatment, which remains painful for her.

Pain is always left for her, nobody knows how painful the past hurts have been.
