My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1403 - 1210: I Don’t Hate You (Part 4)

Over the years, you have all experienced so much, especially things that I can’t comprehend in my lifetime. But I truly hope you understand, my wife’s decision is the happiest event for me internally. I don’t know the best way to treat her; she has never been extravagant, always being thrifty and managing the household. I feel truly fortunate and blessed!"

"As you said, all my achievements in life are due to my grandfather’s teachings. I could never abandon him for anything. Even if the world were to collapse, I would create a safe haven for my grandfather under my protection, allowing him to enjoy his twilight years in peace. I want my grandfather to live joyfully without any worries, having already endured so much. His life deserves to be lively, not constantly burdened by trivial matters that break his heart repeatedly; his life has indeed been too exhausting."

He gave me what no one else could, teaching me what gratitude and love truly mean. I also understand that I have achieved what I have today because of my grandfather, and it’s due to him that you all left our home. I hope you don’t resent grandfather; everything he did was for the family’s wellbeing, for your sake. Your determined decision to leave deeply hurt him. Please be forgiving and not let your words continue to wound him time after time; he is just an elderly man, unable to withstand such blows!"

"In your grandparents’ hearts, your mother is truly a wonderful wife. All she did was strive for her family’s happiness and safety. Yet, the results she received were so disappointing. She doesn’t know what she should have gained; she only knows how painful it is, seeking just a small token that she never obtained."

Your mother is indeed perceptive; she understands the world and its intricacies. Yet sometimes her actions are hard to accept; she has a hint of arrogance, a conceit that I can’t abide. I don’t want those around me to become so conceited."

Later, problems arose between her and me. At that moment, although I knew your grandparents were fond of your mother, I also knew that they once opposed my union with her."

Zhang Zhentian truly didn’t anticipate his wife would be drawn into this matter. He believed no matter the situation, she would never speak up for him. Yet today, he was caught off guard. Though his wife spoke out, it wasn’t to support him but to reprimand him. He couldn’t understand what could be so significant in her eyes that it overshadowed even the love of someone who once adored her. He desperately wanted to know what he needed to do to win her back, back to his side; all of this caused him great conflict and heartbreak. He wished for a fulfilling life without such pain and turmoil, but it seemed incredibly challenging, almost impossible.

"Xia Jing, I don’t know the position you’re taking by standing here today to speak to me. If you’re speaking as my wife, you have the right to say these things; otherwise, you’re not qualified to address me as such. Do you understand? I once sacrificed everything for you, willing to pay any price just for you to stay by my side. That sufficed for me. Gradually, I realized you never wanted to remain by my side; you desired something I couldn’t give. When you were with me initially, I never understood if your motives were true love or something else. Until now, the reason we reached this point eludes me. Was it simply because I ruthlessly abandoned you? I’ve explained before that my impulsive decision was made in a moment of anger. If you were in my shoes, I trust you couldn’t tolerate a deceitful person beside you for life. Empathy would be better, wouldn’t it? Why must our relationship become so strained? I don’t want much; I merely hope my wife sincerely loves me, sees me as the most important person in her life. Is that wrong? Perhaps you see my wish as selfish, but who wouldn’t desire the same? Every husband wants his wife’s heart to solely belong to him. My actions may be selfish, but they are driven by love for you. Haven’t I been selfish for your sake enough already? Why do you never see my sincerity?
