My Alleged Husband

Chapter 2063: Chapter 1896: Missing

Finding the sun in a place without wind, but I only want to be the warm sun in your heart!

Old Master Zhang listened outside the door to the conversation between his son and daughter-in-law for a long time, yet he never heard a correct statement from any of them.

He had always believed his son to be highly emotionally intelligent, but now he realized his son was truly foolish. Should a woman be treated this way? If he acts like this, why do other women avoid him every time they see him?

He couldn’t stand it any longer, he truly stepped forward. He pushed the door open and entered his son’s bedroom, looking at his son and daughter-in-law, ready to educate them properly.

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

”Why can’t I be here? If I didn’t come, would you two never end this? I’ve heard you both outside for so long, and neither of you recognizes your errors?

Zhang Zhentian, at least have the basic dignity and backbone my son should have. If a woman doesn’t love you, then she doesn’t love you. No matter how much you do for her, she won’t fall for you. So why do you cling to her wanting to be together? His heart has never had room for you; you give so much for him, even willing to sacrifice your life, but does he truly see you as the one he loves the most?

No, he never will because deep down, he’s already given his heart to someone else, and you’ll never win it.

A happy marriage requires mutual effort, but for a happy marriage, there must be deep emotions and sufficient trust between two people. Do you think you still have such deep feelings and basic trust in each other? You keep suspecting each other—do you think that’s truly happy?

I never imagined that the child I raised with such effort would be this foolish. It’s okay if you don’t use your commercial acumen because maybe you have your own talents, but why haven’t you learned even the basics? Do you not even know how to protect your own dignity? You let your wife repeatedly point at you, yet what do you do? Again and again, you admit fault to him, thinking he’ll soften in the end?

Xia Jing felt embarrassed hearing her father say these words, and she could only smile foolishly. But her smile angered Old Master Zhang.

”Why are you smiling? Do you find it entertaining that your husband sacrifices everything for you, even his life? Are you truly heartless to the point where your husband’s actions elicit no feelings from you? Trying to be with him, trying to accept him—isn’t that happiness for you?

Sometimes, don’t take things too seriously because while it makes you happy, it brings pain to those around you.

Perhaps you haven’t realized what you did wrong. You hid your feelings, but it hurt my son, trapping him in emotional turmoil, unable to free himself for life.

Do you feel happy being with him? Truly happy? Everything you’ve done—deep down, is this the life you want? Did you never consider your choices and the consequences they might bring?

I can’t comprehend why you two keep entangled with this issue day in and day out. I hear my son pleading, hoping you’ll try being together, yet you’re stubbornly heartless, never granting him even the basic smile or respect!

You’re legally still husband and wife, aren’t you? Do you think it’s appropriate to cause such a scene? Do you feel delighted seeing your partner lowering their head in front of you repeatedly?

You took his kindness for granted, but once you’re accustomed to it, and once he suddenly stops, you’ll feel abandoned by him and the world.

But did he truly change? Did he truly abandon you? He was hurt and doesn’t know how to talk to you; thus, he pretends to be a hedgehog, ready to strike anyone, because it’s the only way to protect himself, to shield himself from emotional harm. You never considered what he went through. You know what you want, but he can’t give you your desired happiness; yet you can give him happiness—why not appreciate all he’s done and attempt to bring happiness to both of you?

I know these words are difficult to express directly, but I hope you can think deeply, make a well-considered decision, and avoid potential regret. If you rashly decide and regret it for life, what’s the point of making the decision?”

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

Xia Jing questioned whether she truly was heartless. Why, after her husband lowered himself and spoke touching words, did she choose silence? Why did she keep rejecting him despite his repeated retreats?

Sometimes, it felt like just two photos reflect her icy demeanor. No matter her efforts, it seemed insignificant to him, never altering his view of her actions. Her heart ached from the treatment she received despite every sacrifice made for him.

In my remaining years, I only wish for you to be by my side. I won’t let your whereabouts be unclear again!
