My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1000: Chapter 890 Lies (Four)_3

This family has already endured too much. What’s wrong with him? I don’t want this family to continue living in constant turmoil. That’s not the life you and I want. All we hope for is that everyone can continue to live. We should leave ourselves a way out, not push ourselves step by step to the point of no return, only to regret the decisions we’ve made later. Do you think regretting at that time would mean anything to you, even if it doesn’t to others?

So many years have passed, and I don’t understand what Grandpa and Grandma really think. But I do know that deep down, they don’t want such things to happen to us. They too are reflecting on their actions, questioning whether they were right or wrong. I also hope that every one of us can consider things from their perspective when we make decisions. However, sometimes, deep down, I don’t know why—it’s as if I’m possessed—I try any way possible to consider things from their perspective, but I only know that everything they did hurt us. They never considered our feelings. At that moment, I was broken inside. I can understand the feeling of being betrayed and abandoned by one’s parents and not being understood by anyone—that’s such an ordeal!

I chose to say these words today because I want this family to be completely at peace. I don’t want any more arguments over trivial matters. Every person in the family has been greatly hurt by these arguments. Do you really want these hurts to continue in our lives? It might not mean much to you, but for any family member, it’s a form of harm. Hearing constant arguments from loved ones is exhausting.

Perhaps you feel that my words today are a bit abrupt, and I understand that it’s an irrational choice. But I have no choice; I don’t wish for these conflicts to continue. If the arguments persist, the one who suffers the most might not be us but our elderly Great-Grandpa.

You should all know that he is already very old. He can’t handle the repeated arguments in this family. He can’t understand or bear it. What he needs most now is to enjoy his twilight years in peace, not to listen to never-ending arguments among his family members. Such feelings would annoy him, and sometimes he might want to escape from this family. Do you really hope that at that time, he would still be waiting there, while we bring harm to her again and again, not knowing why we are doing it? Do you truly have the heart to hurt her, leaving a terrible shadow that lingers for a lifetime?

Zhang Yichen fell silent. He had to admit his son considered this issue, but he hadn’t. Because regarding this matter, he hadn’t considered Grandpa’s perspective. He only knew that he didn’t truly hate his parents. He just hoped they could return to this family. He never thought about what kind of ending awaited them.

Is it really because my actions were too selfish? Has everything I did become a mistake? Weren’t these actions driven by the hope for everyone in this family to be happy and joyful? Why do these matters now seem entirely my fault? Am I destined to make mistakes throughout my life and never be forgiven? How should I restore everything to how it was before, without causing arguments? These disputes may not be the most painful thing for me, but for my family, they are a deep torment, irreversible. Did I do all this to let my family suffer repeatedly, while I stood aside, powerless to say or do anything? If so, do I deserve to call myself a man? I once vowed to protect my family—is this how I protect them?
