My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1294: Chapter 1123: Forcing

At that time, you didn’t know, did you? How much pressure my wife had to endure from me. He didn’t even know what he was supposed to do. Clearly, many things could be easily solved on his own, but why was this situation so troublesome, so complicated, making it impossible to resolve? What should he do to make his husband change his mind and stop being so upset with him? Everything he was doing was for him.

”This whole thing isn’t that complicated, husband. Can’t we avoid all this trouble? Shouldn’t we be living the happy life we both wanted? Why let unnecessary issues damage our harmony and make everyone unhappy? Wouldn’t we be better off enjoying our lives with smiles and laughter? Those harmonious moments, those joyous sounds—are they really gone just because of my little mistake? Grandpa cares so much about happy moments. He also cares about family harmony. Let’s not worry Grandpa, alright?”

”Don’t bring Grandpa into this. If you really cared about him, you wouldn’t have done something like this. You knew that if I ever found out the truth, we’d be at odds. You should have foreseen this outcome. Many things you could have anticipated, yet you still took the risk. It proves you’ve been holding onto a sliver of hope that I’d forgive you. But you didn’t expect it, did you? Today, after what you’ve done, I’ve chosen to stop contacting you...”

”Husband, should we really handle this like this? It’s harmful to both of us, isn’t it? Obviously, we can’t let each other go. I know you’re not like Dad; your love isn’t so reckless. But it’s also full of care. Can you give me another chance, please? I promise not to make you sad again. Honestly, I don’t know why I suddenly made such a mistake and hurt you so deeply. But I had no choice. You know how much I care about you, love you, even more than myself. You know how unforgettable such love is. If I wanted to treat you this way, I wouldn’t love you sincerely. If I truly love and cherish you, watching you in pain would make me even more sorrowful. Surely, you understand how I’m feeling right now. I was forced to do this. I hope you can give me one more chance understanding this!”

Rushing into myself, believing that as long as everyone was around, I could do whatever I wanted without considering anyone’s feelings, I eventually lost that person completely. Not willing to return to my side, I realized he had been gone for such a long time. I searched everywhere for him, feeling anxious without any news.

”Stop finding excuses to absolve yourself. No matter how convincingly you speak now, I won’t believe you. What happened, happened; it’s an unchangeable fact. No matter what you say or do, the truth of this situation will never change. Regardless of whom you did it for or why you did it, you did it, and you must accept the consequences. Don’t think that because you did it for me, I won’t let you face the results. Do you think that’s possible? I’m always fair and impartial. Do you really think I’d let you escape the repercussions just like that? If I don’t make you remember this, maybe you’ll think this was all a trap I set up, designed to bait you, to draw you in and then confront you with these accusations. But you’ll never understand why I did this!”

”Husband, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again. Please give me one more chance. Don’t treat me like this. Don’t make us live apart, please? I’m begging you. Living separately would be so painful and agonizing for me. I’m begging you; please give me one more chance and believe in me one more time. I promise I won’t let you down again. I’m pleading with you...”

”Knowing that certain things are impossible to concede, why say such things to me? I can’t forgive you, nor can I agree to your request. Opportunities are earned, not handed down by fate. You need to learn to bear the consequences of your own actions. Otherwise, you’ll never understand why you must endure such pain!”

Zhang Ni pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Ran Zhihan crying so sorrowfully, he said to Zhang Yichen, ”Dad, don’t bully Mom. Can’t you see how upset she is? Why don’t you quickly help Mom up? Even though I don’t know why you’re arguing, I don’t want my parents to fight. I want both of my parents to be happy while they accompany me growing up. If I see them unhappy every day, or if they argue behind my back, imagine how awful I’d feel. Dad, no matter what Mom did wrong this time, I hope you can forgive her. After all, a harmonious family brings prosperity. Why quarrel with your loved one over needless issues? Although I don’t quite understand what love is, I get that kind of affection. You care about Mom but just don’t know how to express it. You know how deeply hurt Mom is this time, and how wrong her actions were. Yet, when she pleads with you for another chance, you still decline. So, I hope you can get along well with Mom. Don’t argue anymore, for both my great-grandfather and I wish for your happiness. Otherwise, even late at night, he’ll worry about why his grandson and granddaughter-in-law are fighting, his mind will undoubtedly wander!”

”Who allowed you in without my permission? Who told you it’s okay not to knock before entering my bedroom? May I ask who taught you these rules? Do you lack even basic manners? If so, then why did I work so hard and spend so much money on your education? Is this what you’ve learned from schooling?”

I long for every step I take to receive your approval, but in the end, nothing—who among you has ever acknowledged all this?
