My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1500: Chapter 1294: That Moment

I always thought she was more important than my life, but later I realized that it was all just my own wishful thinking; the love we should have had between us was long gone.

”When did things between us become like this? How can you bear to use this matter to threaten me? You know well how hard my parents have worked for me all these years, yet in the end, he still chose to let us live together. Why can’t you understand my bitter intentions as a father?

Your father did so many cruel things, harming your mother for his selfish interests, yet you can forgive him. Your parents once abandoned you, but you still don’t hold it against them. What have my parents done wrong? They just want me to live a stable life. Is that really so incomprehensible in your eyes?

I always thought that as long as we were together, we could overcome any difficulty in the world. But now I realize that it’s not so simple; if you don’t have me in your heart, what good is it for us to be together?”

Ran Zhihan never imagined that her husband would actually use such a rude demand to threaten her. Those are his biological parents whom he has never been filial to. How could she now let them worry and toil over her issues? If that were the case, how could she have any qualification to be their daughter?

”Zhihan, you actually know I don’t mean it like that. All I want is for you to give me a definitive answer. No matter what decision you make, I never blame you, because I always believe you truly love me. I waited for you all those years without complaining, without regret, spending so much of my youth, so many years waiting for you. Yet now, my only regret is why I kept forgiving every mistake you made. I forgave you because I truly regarded you as my wife, but what about you? Have you ever considered me as your husband in everything you’ve done? Do you not know that what you’re doing pains me deeply and embarrasses me?

Have you ever thought about how much embarrassment your actions bring to me? Have you ever considered how your actions affect our marital relationship? You’ve always been so selfish, only wanting your own life and lifestyle without considering others’ opinions. I’m genuinely scared; sometimes you say heartless words to me, and I can’t believe the woman I’ve painstakingly understood is like this—using any means to achieve her goals, do you know?”

”Don’t you find your words hurtful? When have I ever used any means necessary to achieve my goals? Since being with you, I’ve never regretted anything I’ve done for you. I don’t care how much I can give; I’m just afraid I haven’t done enough to make you feel I love you. I’ve been desperately caring for you, desperately protecting you, only to end up like this. How can my heart not be hurt and upset?”

”So is it because you use such methods to hurt me, to deal with our family? Even if you’re dissatisfied with me, you can clearly and directly tell me. We’re a couple; there’s nothing we can’t be frank about. Yet you chose the most cruel and hurtful way to treat me. You dare say your heart truly loves me? Do you trust that such love is genuine?

I always thought you were a reasonable woman, someone who could overlook those mistakes for our family, but now I realize that was impossible.

Zhihan, it hasn’t been easy for us to be together. We’ve both paid a lot and endured hardships to be together; we have a tally in our hearts, haven’t we? Have you really never regretted it? Do you want to make me the most pitiful person in the world?”

”But do you know that every word you’ve said today makes me feel like the loneliest person in the world? That longing has crazily taken root in my heart. I’ve always been reminiscing, not daring to believe the past times together with you. Now I find that no amount of deep longing can turn your heart back—because you’ve already turned away. We’re no longer as in sync as we once were; in your heart, I’ve lost my place, and you’ve long cast me aside.”

Zhang Yichen never thought his wife would become so difficult to convince one day. Is it really that he has gone too far? He never imagined things would end up like this someday. Everything was just a hope to return to the original point, yet why has it gotten worse? Is life really this hard?

”I don’t want to say anything to you now. Think carefully about what you should do. Don’t do anything we’ll both regret. I can pretend not to know about past events; I can ignore them. But I hope you understand that I do this not for other reasons, but because I hope someday you know clearly why I chose this path and why I chose to treat you this way.

I don’t want to ask about your affair with Chen Gang anymore; I don’t want to interfere again. So I hope you take care of yourself. Let’s not make the same mistake again. I truly can’t bear the betrayal from my wife—the feeling of being cuckolded. Do you know how painful that is? I’m a man; I can’t live without desires or demands. At the very least, I need my dignity, especially when this person is the woman I love the most!

Don’t force me to say more heartless words. We should live well together, not like this. Don’t say I’m threatening you with that matter. I just don’t want your parents to worry because of your issues. You should know that all the expenses for their life abroad these years have been covered solely by me. You don’t have the financial capability to live abroad continuously, so please take care!”

Spring goes and comes again. We’ve been through so much, and when she threatened me, I knew there was no going back.
